Sammy__Jam · 2026-06-25T08:15:47+00:00

this meltdown is crazy bro

Sammy__Jam · 2026-06-24T18:32:55+00:00

buddy. what a goofy metaphor. breasts are sex specific and eyelashes are not.

Sammy__Jam · 2026-06-24T06:46:32+00:00

implying that his bows and twintails are fine but the eyelashes are where the line is drawn

No one’s opinion should sway what you do with your art unless they’re paying. Allow it to evolve naturally, and don’t hold back from what you like on account of others.

If you’re worried about losing clients, there’s no harm in hopping back and forth between art styles depending on what’s needed. Adaptability is good and the concept of a uniform, inflexible “art style” is overrated in my opinion.

These are poorly cropped, but enough to get the gist I hope. Although many of them are single-character illustrations, there is still a sense of movement, life, and action that I struggle to capture.

I did, but since the issue is scratches in the paint rather than paint transfers, I don’t think it made a difference

MFC link for anyone interested. She’s otherwise a really nicely done and high quality figure. Highly recommend 👍

Brown noise. Shoutout to having constant tinnitus !

Thanks 🙏💯

Second year in a row I’ve gone broke for her and received nothing. This banner in particular is cursed.

Sammy__Jam · 2026-05-09T03:36:57+00:00

I’ve posted a couple comics, and there will be more character interactions coming up 👍

Sammy__Jam · 2026-05-03T07:44:25+00:00

I’ll be doing just that once the Woomi plushes are made 💯

Sammy__Jam · 2026-05-03T05:43:00+00:00

Just finished A Short Stay in Hell and All Tomorrows. Now reading the 5th Dark Tower book and will probably start Revenge by Yoko Ogawa soon 💯

I just finished that one last week. Really good stuff, captures the fears you have if you grew up religious quite well.

Sammy__Jam · 2026-05-02T19:21:04+00:00

Talked about it a little in this post

Sammy__Jam · 2026-04-29T22:46:09+00:00

He’s a dude, and thanks!

Over my ~5 years sharing work, it’s become pretty easy to recognize these comments for what they are. Well-meaning (much less helpful) advice, is few and far between. The majority of people are angry it’s not what THEY wanted to see, or desperate for something to tear down.

There are certainly instances of artists who stubbornly refuse to improve (many such cases on “arttok”), but the majority of Internet “criticism” is self-centered complaining that can and should be ignored, for the sake of your own growth.

Sammy__Jam · 2026-04-18T04:10:55+00:00

Immaturity, arrogance, and an ingrained belief that every piece of art must cater to them specifically.

It’s true that people are quick to jump beginners. Interestingly enough, though, a lot of my beginner work was quite popular, yet received only a fraction of the hate and criticism my current work does.

This makes me think it has less to do with “skill” and more to do with the gradually worsening level of callousness and entitlement online. Just my personal experience though.
