There’s imposters among us Hello Sheezlings, Recently there has been an influx of accounts on Sheezy attempting to pose as staff with names such as “sheezy_staff, sheezy_support, support, etc…” If an account does not have a staff badge before their name, and is claiming to be staff please report them immediatelyThe badges look similar to those we use on Discord you can also see examples on our staff page Only trust accounts to be one of the staffy waffies if they have a staff badge. Stay safe out there!
so my last real art was posted in september. oops. Last fall/winter sucked major bad and I developed art block but I also got into Deadlock around september/october which is either the best or worst possible thing for me to gain interest in. I was going to wait until it went into 1.0 to try it, but the Valve sauce was too potent and one day I blacked out only to wake up to see 50 hours played. This is the only game I've played where 50 hours is firmly in noob territory. I've got 360 hours now and I am still in low ranks. I feel like I'm drafting a dissertation every time I make an item build in this game. And it feels good as fuck, I'm getting an A. Usually people get all self deprecating about the fact they find a new moba fun, but I'm not doing that, turns out mobas are actually tight as fuck when made by a good dev studio, and everything I learned about League of Legends just tricked me into thinking they were bad this whole time. So this game does have the power to finally make my art block wane, it's just slow getting back in the saddle and shit. I have to relearn CSP because my switch to linux meant I couldn't get it working for a long time. I still don't feel great about my art on the whole but I want to branch out into new mediums this year. I want to learn to animate, 2D and 3D. I also want to make frag videos because the Deadlock fanbase ecosystem is still nascent and approximately the size of a fishbowl and that means I have literally no choice but to make the things I want to see. Not sure if sheezy allows frag videos on here. If they do I might post or I might not. I haven't been keeping up with sheezy and I'm definitely sad that development has slowed down so much, I've been hoping to at least get gallery folders for a while now. The site is still usable and it'll happen eventually but going through my feeds it just seems like there's less activity here from the people I follow sadly. There's also the fact that I don't think I share many interests with most of the site's population. I am still on bluesky and tumblr, but my sheezy profiles are more reliable in terms of keeping my art in one organized place. bluesky is unfortunately sort of doodoo for posting art because they refuse to meaningfully stray from twitter's fundamental design flaws, but still way better than twitter itself.
Review of the TourBox.I started with the TourBox in mid 2024. I’ve spent a full year and a half across two separate products form the TourBox line, the NEO, and the Elite Plus. Before then I was more experienced with the keybindings on my XP-Pen tablet, keyboard, and iPad gestures in procreate.The product itself is not the first of its kind, but it certainly is unique. I’ve seen other creatives using their Logitech QuickKey remotes, Corne Keyboards, Streamer Decks, mice with quick keys on the side, trackball mice, even stuff that was homemade just to make their art process go faster. While each of these have their own attributes, budgets, and customization to help with everyone’s needs, I personally found my TourBox to be a good fit for what I’ve been asking from this series of gadgets. What I like about the design of this brick blob is how it fits into my small hands and every finger matches up to a certain line of buttons for me to know each command and shortcut.This is especially helpful for long drawing sessions. I don’t feel like I’m getting slowed down from having to remember any button combo or looking down at the box to realign myself.Some downsides to the TourBox… whenever I take it places I feel it in my bag. It’s a bit heavy. The learning curve is not steep but I did find myself not using all the features that it offers like the multiple button presses, might be a skill issue on my part. The Elite Plus features for IOS to not include touch replacements for procreate like how it works for Clip Studio, because there is not a simple pan layer tool in Procreate’s program I don’t think, It was something to get used to on my end. If you like not having to look down to remember a specific button pattern or where a button is itself, customization for every program without needing to pay for the proprietary software, Linux compatibility (not official), vast community and official brand support, playing Minecraft fishing simulator with a knob and a few funny little buttons while eating snacks in your other hand… It’s great.

(e.g. bird's eye view, fisheye, back and front.) I've mostly drawn my characters facing to the sides and rarely facing back, forward, or the perspectives i've listed on the top. some tips is really appreciated, and could impact on how i draw my things in the mere future.
I'm still recovering, so my TAT is now looking at 2-3 weeks for the time being... hopefully this will change soon 🤞my Valentine's month sale is still going on and will continue to go on until March 14!! see all my info here: https://dollyprincessolliecomms.carrd.co/
