bad at intro posts. i've been off public social accounts for uhhh several years now but trying to get back into it. probably lots of OC posts + occasional fanart.

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

obviously I can't word it that well. you get it. look at how wonky, stiff and amateur the 'sketch' is and then look at how symmetrical, loose, the depth in the hands and the hair....

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

I should have maybe used a word other than lines because it's not REALLY about the quality of the lines, but more like... if someone understands volume(or anatomy) it shows through all the stages, even if the sketch is rough/minimal

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

is there some better way to articulate that you can always tell when someone is tracing/referencing AI because their construction lines are so much more amateur than the finished product

For those of you that are concerned 💕

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

i've struggled with communicating this before, 'line confidence' is not a universally understood concept especially to non-artists, I guess it's like someone presenting some bakery-tier cookies but when you watch them baking they are using cold butter and eggs

@itwaskris yeah sorry you have to click through the quote tweets

@Hana_Healer this is what got me too, this is some Manga For Beginners technique or something

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

i noticed this person had an OC that belonged in a group with another OC i had drawn in a trade, so I decided to make a companion piece :D

anotha attack! #artfight2026ㅤ

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

hard to combat the battle ration guilt though 🥲

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

gave myself a stern talking to about focusing on what I actually want to do for art fight, which is character interactions + scenes

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

buttt then I did this one for a friend

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

attack on a beloved mootie #artfight

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

almost only did attacks with a similar colourscheme by accident lol

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

for a design trade with a friend

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

bunch of teeny icons of my friends ocs/sonas for my AF profile

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

pucky gets a ref!

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

puck <3

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

long hair puck! (and short hair fish)

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

art fart or whatever https://t.co/dDVIMWGYT5 #artfight2026

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

she has a ref now. yay!

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

the pain of immediately realizing I should provide context with my ocs. probably won't beyond cursory introductions. this is fishie a fresh water siren who is currently held in captivity by a monster hunter (with... a complicated relationship)

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

been doing like a thousand trades BEFORE art fight so I can build up my artist muscles and be big and strong... and not wear out by week two...

[ves! TEAM MYSTERY @ves_sharks]

a lil creature i think I will call eos
