@NiwlCraft I think it's important to note "Bad Faith" arguments. Because of course some people may genuinely be confused and want to learn, but on the other side of the coin you have people that just want people to agree with them not to see how others think or emphasize. Edit: I should clarify I DO agree I just think some emphasis should be put on "Bad Faith".

@davidrevoy Nice. Fun to see as usual. You think the "fireball" spell is in that spell book?

@xirin2u I like it. I probably need to mess with some 2D doodling at some point, but it's hard for me to find time right now since I tend to be split between different things doing solo game development.

@xirin2u Nice. I like the look of these. It's hard to explain what I like about them, but they all have a sort of polished cozy style to them.

@xirin2u Cute art as always. If you don't mind me asking how do you actually draw your art. I like how there is a sort of canvas or maybe paper kind of texture to it if that makes sense.

@xirin2u Well at least all the steps results in a well done texture. It honestly makes me want to know more to try myself, but I also don't want to ask too many questions lol.

@xirin2u Looks great. The more I see your drawings the more I want to improve my own drawing skills. Drawing is one of those things I just find it hard to do because I sort of hit a creative wall where I am not sure what to make or how to even make the things I want to.

It's been a while since I added to the pack because of Holidays, but It's Wallpaper Wednesday again. First one of 2026 and I made it special for the New Year. I made it a little more minimalist for people who don't want entire scenes like my last Wallpaper.I am still learning a lot of this, so if anyone has any suggestions for what they would like to see in a wallpaper I am open to suggestions.https://vantablack2000.itch.io/wallpaperpack/devlog/1309407/wallpaper-5-newyear2026#indie #art #wallpaper #WallpaperWednesday

@davidrevoy Great Comic as usual. A great way to get people thinking about what AI does as well.

It's Wallpaper Wednesday again. This time I have a few updates for the project.First of all here is a link to the Dev Log. https://vantablack2000.itch.io/wallpaperpack/devlog/1316230/wallpaper-6-vantablack-bedroomI started questioning how personal my art was and whether I enjoyed what I was making, so I had fun making a lower poly rendition of my Bedroom/Workspace.I also changed the Itch.io page to allow discussion boards for people to discuss what they want to do with wallpapers, so people can help. 1/2#indie #art #WallpaperWednesday

I realized my introduction post isn't the best, so here's go number 2 after over a year on Mastodon.My name is VANTABlack. I am an artist who works in a variety of mediums. I started as a solo game developer which grew into getting into art and music for games which then just turned into making art and music. I put all of my projects either here on Mastodon or on my Itch.io page https://vantablack2000.itch.io/I never use Generative AI for any part of my projects.#introduction

I also added alternate wallpapers for each wallpaper to show off some things you can do if you have the blend file. More details on all that are in the Dev Log. I hope you all enjoy the new wallpapers and I will try to have more fun with art as I make these wallpapers and grow as an artist. Part of me hopes I can help other people grow to love art too with this project.2/2

@NiwlCraft Yep all those are ads. That is a dense area of ads too. Makes me wonder if the channel themselves set it up like that since it is sparse at first then really dense.

It's that time again. I updated the wallpaper pack again. This time it is a Mountain Landscape. I have also decided to move away from weekly wallpapers. I feel like I need to take some time on my art because it still feels like I am making a product and not my own art. I have decided at least for now I am going to leave the wallpaper at 10 wallpapers then call it over for further notice.#art #noai #wallpaper #wallpaperwednesday #winter #mountain #landscape #indie #blender #blenderart
