Is cute ❤️

looking that i have to buy things i rather go pixel by pixel

I found you by chance today and I'm so glad you did. I've been sorely missing the community around art that's been gone for years. A lot of people treat all of this like a race to the top or look for ways to use someone to get more popular. I miss having genuine art friends. I miss chilling with people and working on art together. I just miss people, man. I'm gonna make a Cara and scan the comments on this video and look for some people (and follow you, too!). Thank you so much! edit: omg sheezy is giving me super old-school dA vibes, I'll join there too. Thank you again!

you make a good point

Two new questions: got any recommendations or guides on how to dither an image for the printer? Second question: do you know of any guides to program the arduino to work on Super Mario RPG? I wanna know if anybody had programmed it to do the 100 super jump challenge because it's so annoying to do

Can I use arduino uno?

it took LOTS of trial and error, but i got this to work! thank you so much for the tutorial!

I informed my IG followers that I was moving my art to Cara but keeping my IG account. I then deleted all my art on my wall and in my videos and reels and even stuff that was saved. Then posted a "RIP" post on my wall and changed my profile pic to something that was not my logo. Then posted my most essential IG art to Cara. When I post something new I post the link to the new artwork on my IG story. It's rough but it keeps my art safe and my follower count.

Waaa how did I miss this video it was just what I needed to go in the background of my art session! Anyways, this video was really relevant to me because I've also been looking into smaller platforms for artists, not just because of the ai training stuff on big corporate platforms, but also because smaller platforms tend to be more chill and better moderated. For a standard 'art site', I'm thinking of starting off on Side7 (love the old fashioned aesthetics, and the fact that it has an extensive tagging system and lots of categories for virtually any kind of art), then cross-posting to Newgrounds later on (also has old-fashioned aesthetics, and the fandoms I'm into have a lot of cool artists on there.) As for a social media, I'm also thinking of Mastodon, or, rather, the Fediverse in general! There are tons of servers beyond the Mastodon ones, and I particularly love how Akkoma and Misskey/Sharkey/Firefish* allow you to do emoji reactions under people's posts, which, unfortunately, many Mastodon instances don't appear to have. Akkoma is a little more early 2000s in design, while Misskey and the like have more modern, sleek interfaces. I like them both! But Akkoma allows higher character limits in a post (the default is 5000), so I may join one of theirs, as I am thinking of posting microfictions and things there. If anyone is interested, I can post some information about how to find the best server for you! *Sharkey and Firefish are based on Misskey, but are designed for English speakers. You'll probably find more English speakers on the local timeline of former instances.

Basically

My artistic mind has been opened to new possibilities.

Okay now I've got a new problem. I went to print a new image and it was trying to print the first one. I thought I overwrote the old one with the new image but I guess not?

Hello, wanted to ask if this process was done in Linux or Microsoft. I have no Linux experience so I was curious

So I finally got it to work. There are some really key things to note in the process: 1. the file names in your PC matter. There must be absolutely NO spaces in their names or else you're going to have problems with running those Python commands. 2. if you're having the 'PIL' error, you just need to install Pillow by simply typing "pip install Pillow" in the command (cmd) prompt 3. when you're doing the "AVRGCCStart.cmd" part, don't worry about not seeing the chip in the device manager like on that website's guide. What matters is if it works in the Arduino IDE 4. Be mindful of the file placement. A couple times I needed to "scooch" my files when I downloaded/extracted and renamed the needed files For example, I had a problem with the IDE until I realized I needed to go one more file DEEPER into the LUFA folder and then name THAT file "LUFA" and then the IDE started working. Anyway, is there any way for this thing to print vertical images or is this only for horizontal?

I'm just going to keep trucking, but the 2:40 part, my Arduino micro is not being detected on the device manager the same way it is in the AVR GCC instructions. I downloaded the Arduino IDE to see if it would install any useful drivers but it didn't seem to do so. So I'm going to pretend that it worked. I'll add any additional issues I come across 3:17 that didn't take long. "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases."

ngl i only use instagram so my irls can see my art

That's when I realised, you Need 3D model to Draw 2D & Need 2D reference to make 3D 🔁

V Cool!

i've posted in so many art shares and get zero likes. im either shadowbanned or my art is dogshit

I mean honestly for me honestly I gave up all of it yeah I do have Cara how do you put something on there yeah my devinatart art account is still there My overall I kind of gave up on Twitter and Instagram when it came to my artwork.

Solid advice in the current era of social media for artists. From the perspective of someone floundering in between the hobbyist part and the semi-pro/full pro part of it, it's been nice to see a revival of community-oriented platforms, I get the good feelings from earlier art platforms before they're taken over by big money. It's also great that you pointed out what can be realistic for each one depending on what their goals are. I no longer have the time to dedicate myself to art as I used to, so engagement for myself is predictably difficult; but I love engaging with others' creations in the measure I can. Bluesky has been amazing for this, I really missed tags actually translating to reach, and it feels generally easy to engage with low spoons. Thank you so much for giving perspective in why new sites can feel "dead"!

ive heard a few different opinions about this topic, from big and small artists, but i havent heard this advice yet, so im glad i watched it

I came over from bluesky! thank you for the tips and helpful insight :))

oohhh I loved this video !!! love the new avatar !

then how the hell do I draw on mye handheld lite… there’s no tutorials,,,,,,,

💛💛💛

LoL that's true

Observing Cara, I keep finding big artists who had started an account back in June, only to quickly give up. I see they have few followers and are following few artists or no one. You have to interact and support. So many don't do this and expect people to immediately begin sucking up to them.

Love the new avatar the tracking is so smooth! I wonder if it’s possible to give it a outline like your sprites? (Idk if it’s possible with moving objects)

Awesome advice!

I love the term "friendly maxing" because you KNOW I be doing that ALL DAY EVERY DAY. But, also, more seriously - The advice to interact with your peers is SO important!! Specifically the ones closest to you in niches, interests, size, etc. In school these are often referred to as a cohort - these are the folks you will likely encounter again and again, either in classes or out in the world once you're finding jobs. These people are the easiest to form connections with. These are not your enemies!!! Or at least, they shouldn't be. You should be treating one another like comrades in arms - you are both fighting the algo to stay relevant, and it is better to have a helpful hand to uplift one another than it is to feel like you have even more competition. You learn a lot by being friendly with these people, too - it's almost always a Win/Win getting to know and become friendly and encouraging with one another :D Another super solid video, great job, no notes! Clapping applauding liking and subscribing, etc <3

Underrated

Instagram algorithm has never been nice to me, i mean yes oc art used to be less popular than fanart on insta when the algorithm was less bad i think (idrk i didnt care very much) but my acc thats been on insta since 2018 has been swinging around 100 follower since forever so i guess it will hurt less to leave for me :')

Artists conspiracy theory? I'm in.

I literally thought you said hatch as in hatching eggs

Whats wild is that they wouldnt even need to restart. Just tell your fan base you're moving ship and a lot will probably follow. But with Cara being new, there's probably no money there

I follow some bif artist and the once i follow did go away from IG due favt with Meta and all that but some only Delete all artwork but left link to there other website. Some left there artwork but delte mabey most of them and other just left it but Whould only Repost old artwork with the whole Glaze or nightshade on platform like IG,Twitter or Deviantart to be clar most of them do have there commission or some website but that the mix thing i see of the one i follow some are tired and i whould not be surpeice that sooner or later Many of these artist will go to FA or Newground at some point or soem artist gonna make there own website like how the JP peopel made ther own website because they where sick and tired of woke,snowflake,sjw people report there work, "Claiming"bs or hurthing them for no reaosn that they delete there whole twitter acc due those toxic peope

I havent been watching much videos on Cara but i watched one where an artist said that Cara is run by a small team and itd be difficult for the team that are freelancers to try and keep the site up and keep up with the bugs and updates. These big artist could be trying to gatekeep but also we cant keep pushing a lot of traffic to that website its a small team

Can you make videos on how to get views on Cara their algorithm is f9

What kind of "artists" are you following on IG? Most of the artist I follow do have Cara and respect it, having them 10k o 15k followers themselves. But what some had said, and I share the concept, is to not take a complete switch. Cara work for some things IG don't, and IG works for some things that, currently, Cara don't. Therefore, they recommend not ditching one for the other. And most of them agree that, regardless of what SM you choose to engage with, open your own site. This video sounds way more about the so called artist you're following and less about the apps.

I dont trust third party programs to cross post for me lol but inspired me to create a program just like that...and keeo it open source. Im too paranoid if its not a tool i created myself. Welp, time to do some python.

Ilu 400 follower joe glad to be one of your 400 joe enjoyers 😤✊ Jokes aside you are, as always, so wise and observant about the experiences of smaller/growing artists. NO NOTES, 10/10!!!

Comment for the Algorithm: Gouache is a water-soluble, opaque paint that's made from pigments, gum arabic, and water. The term originated in France in the 18th century. Gouache is similar to watercolor, but it contains more binder and white pigment to make it opaque and prevent the paper's white surface from showing through. The paint's heavy pigment load and reduced binder content leave behind almost pure pigment when dry, held together by just enough binder.

there is no reason to put up with the terrible policies of Instagram. the best option is to move to another platform. and sure the views, followers and monetization will be lower but it will be worth it. because how else will alternatives that dont want to screw us over grow if we dont use them. its the self filling prophecy. No one is on the alternatives, public perception is that its a dead end/un profitable, No one uses the site so it cant grow/advertise or add new features, no one goes to the alternative. If instagram is so awful make an effort to not be shackled to them

You are SO RIGHT!! I think at the end of the day individual artists - especially smaller creators - can benefit HUGELY from trying new platform alternatives despite the push back. If nothing else, you may get more attention on your work while the new platform is still a little slower/less populated, so it's worth checking out whatever you're hearing about for yourself! It's good experience, and if it DOES work out...bam, you got in on the ground floor ;] I love this piece btw!! sooo cute

I just discovered Cara today. And from the looks of it, it seems promising. So I think I'll give it a shot.
