This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
You can pick one skill from each row, and they can't be from the same column.
Hirachy, piezoelectronics, antenna array and spore aurora.
Ever since going to Brazil I've always dreamt of beeing a fungal signaling tower.
Great art btw.
Cable management (fix my screwed up nerves) Quintessence (just to see what it would do) Photogrammetry (great for 3d modeling) Emergence (discover new properties in unexpected places)
Cable management is the first one I did put of this set! Got through a big migraine just before I started drawing these. I'll keep my thoughts about quintessence a secret, people seem to like the mystery of it.
Lost my little sister to anorexia nervosa. I don't like that it is presented like a 'skill' here. Would you put cancer as a skill in there too?
I'm sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies.
This is inspired by disco Elysium which uses things like drug addiction in positive and negative ways. None of the skills are intended as purely positive or negative, I just use that name because that game had also. I think there are things people suffer from that can make them uniquely better equipped for enduring some circumstances that they fight daily that many people couldn't handle (not that it is a positive aspect in majority).
And not that it matters to me, but the only reason I felt comfortable including it is because it is part of my life and I have been bullied for it. Yes, if I had cancer I might also put that in as a skill too.
I am sorry to hear that it is part of your life as well. Bullying someone for that is especially harsh. I am very sorry that happened to you.
I think that I reacted this way because I saw other memes and stuff making fun of anorexia or treating it very lightly. That hurts when you are still in mourning. I now understand that this is not what you meant to do and I apologize if I responded too angry.
I think another reason for it is that the picture actually triggered the memory of my sister when she was very ill in the weeks before she died. It is very difficult to explain the mixture of love and horror I felt when seeing her during that time. But your work made me think of it. This is okay, it is part of her and my life and I need to accept that. But I did not expect it and I think that I responded more emotional because of it.
I think it is in a way very good that you are able to express something that is so complex in a way that I responded to it immediately. I think it shows you have talent. I now think it was not a random trigger, but actually recognition of a shared experience.
No harm, I didn't mean to ask for your apology. You didn't do anything wrong and thankyou for making sure people don't fetishize mental illness. I consider all your comments respectful.
Having thought on it I do think my drawing is probably too direct about it for something lacking a context I haven't added. I think I should have waited until I made some more associated writings so that the nuance in my mind about the topic would have carried across better. Sorry for any distress.
Usually I am not so direct as I was with this. I am glad you still considered it respectful. I always try to be respectful, but as English is not my mother tongue I am sometimes scared that I miss some nuance or something and come across differently.
You do not need to apologise either. You have every right to express yourself. Especially when it is something personal. It is not other people's job not to trigger me. Getting reminded of things like this is just part of life. If you fight it or try to avoid it, it will become worse. So it is fine.
I wish you a lot of success with making more art!
This Disco Elysium spiritual successor is looking pretty promising.
At first sight, I had the same thought.
This is beautiful! Such a cool style, and such a solid foundational theme running through all of the images. Love it!
Inertial Measurement Unit, Quintessence, Nybbling, and Lookup Table are deffo my faves. Great choice of colours too
Thanks. A few are on the chopping block to be replaced but none of the ones you mentioned.
ππ₯β¨οΈπchoices of someone who has the compulsion to know what is going on, I suspect.
does 'exoskeleton' give me, like, an insectoid exoskeleton or a sci-fi one? this is important
Hm, the intent was that this was more a mindset than an actual exoskeleton, but the picture would indicate a sci-fi one if literal about it. Would you prefer insectoid?
Maybe I could do an insect reskin of the skills, I do like drawing little bugs. Ammotidia instead of photogrammetry, antennae sense instead of antenna array, flight trajectory instead of imu...
hmmm. I'm not nearly kafkaesque enough to want a bug exoskeleton, so I'd have to say sci-fi. I might be lacking in certain skills on this list, so I don't really understand what a metaphysical exoskeleton would entail.
Also I'm a big fan of bug-themed things. Bugs can be creepy as heck, but also cute sometimes.
I don't like the colum thing but spore aura, piezoelectrics, exo skeleton and photogrammetry
True, I forget restricting choice is always annoying. Was trying to coerce people into picking those that might be perceived as less useful but it's better to let them do what they want.
