I canceled my Adobe subscription, and was ready to pay for Affinity – but they’re went totally free, and rolled their vector program into Affinity. So, yeah – that’s a good thing!

One of the best Photoshop & Illustrator alternatives is now free, and you can subscribe to Canva for a bunch of AI features if you want, totally optional.…

nice work

HEy thanks for the response! One of my issues seems to be that i do something like these, feel that I’ve grown a bit – and that’s that. Instead, it’s time to either redo these, but faster or improved, or do a different ten.

“Fox Prompts”. Random, or maybe not so random, word or subject.

I’d actually make a forum specifically for it, the “fox prompts” or something catchy. People hit the Fox Prompt forum, and there’s the latest prompt. See what others have done, discuss, upload yours, etc. Latest at the top, and a continual legacy of images and work people have…

I created a folder on my desktop called “Inspiration”. Anything that inspires me, i throw it in there. A logo, nature, a meme, a pet pic, a classic work of art, other people’s art, my own art.
