Gif Example For The First 3:

I started my next school semester recently, and my first assignment for my Illustration class was to make a self-portrait collage. I finished it the other day. I originally thought I would have to shred up the images more, but my prof was satisfied with this layout. I like how it came out. 😊

Finished up the inking yesterday. I experimented with adding hatching! This is something that I’ve been wanting to try, but I wasn’t sure about how it would turn out. I got out of my comfort zone and just did it anyway. Hope you like it!

This project is an Original Character Meme that was originally started in either 2012 or 2013 and was since forgotten about until recently. The point of this "meme" is to choose 10 of your original characters, assign them numbers, and on the next few slides, draw them in the situation accordingly. I'm sharing this because, even though most of the sketches are old and my style has changed, I really like it for what it is. I love the goofiness of some of the characters and scenes (I think Jewelia sliding down the slide is my favorite one.) I want to continue to embody this characteristic in my OC drawings. Side note: the last one was done as a digital art exercise earlier this year, hence newer art & style. I hope you guys enjoy! (Original meme was by Elvendorkx on DeviantArt.)

What is the FCC hiding? Court orders agency to release info about who submitted fake comments during net neutrality repeal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, September 18, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org

Reports today show that a DC District Court judge has ordered the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to disclose previously-unreleased information that will assist the public in understanding how millions of fake comments were submitted to the FCC using stolen names and addresses during the agency’s 2017 proceeding to repeal net neutrality. Digital rights group Fight for the Future, who was among the first to launch an investigation into the fake comments and have long called for a full investigation into the fake comments submitted onto the agency’s net neutrality docket, welcomes the court’s decision as a positive step forward for those who had their names fraudulently placed onto the FCC’s record.

The following statement can be attributed to Evan Greer, Fight for the Future’s Deputy Director [pronouns: she / her]:

“My first question is: why is the FCC spending taxpayer dollars fighting journalists in court in order to keep this information secret in the first place? What are they hiding? Who are they covering for?

Fight for the Future is one of many groups that used the FCC’s bulk upload feature to submit real comments from real people concerned about the agency’s repeal of net neutrality. We have no problem with the FCC releasing this information. The only reason to keep it hidden is to prevent the public from learning which groups abused this comment system by submitting fraudulent comments, and who funded them.

Let’s face it, the FCC has lost all credibility since their alleged ‘DDoS attack’ turned out to be an outright lie that they used to downplay the overwhelming opposition to their repeal of net neutrality. This court ruling is a solid step forward for the millions of Internet users and small business owners who took the time to submit real comments opposing the FCC’s net neutrality repeal.

The FCC should comply with this court order immediately and release any and all information they have related to the fraud and abuse that they refused to address during the net neutrality public comment process.”

Fight for the Future is one of the groups behind the BattleForTheNet.com campaign and has been actively pressuring Congress to pass the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval to restore the FCC’s 2015 net neutrality protections. In May, the CRA passed the Senate in a historic bipartisan support and activists are now fighting a trench warfare campaign to force a vote in the House of Representatives.

Happy belated Valentine's Day and happy Singles Awareness Day (which if you didn't know is Feb 15). Here's a throwback to some art I did in 2014 and 2013 for Valentine's Day. Regardless of whether you have a significant other or not, I hope you all have a wonderful day and know that you are loved by the one that matters. The one above. 😊☝🏼 🔹 #throwbackthursday #throwback #valentinesday #webstagram #valentine #tbt #tb #heart #hearts #red #art #arts #arty #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

I spent waaaaay too much time on the background on this one. Who knew that drawing bookcases in perspective was going to be so much work? 😣 Hopefully it'll pay off when I ink it.

A very belated anniversary gift for my bf. I still miss him dearly. 😔💙💚 It’s been a rough and lonely year not being able to see him that often, or my friends for that matter. Swipe ➡️ to see my progress pics. You can see I did the sketch a year & a half ago and I’ve been working on the digital rendering since April.⁠⠀ 🔹⁠⠀ #art #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #drawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #painting #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #digitalartist #Photoshop #Illustrator #digitalpainting #Wacom #originalartwork #portrait #cartoon #creative #instadraw #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystalCurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfUOMRDGkl/?igshid=ham9yxpepb1y

I took a photo of my art and played around with its colors on my phone. I thought it'd be cool to share. 😁 I'm still finishing up coloring the original, so stay tuned.

My heart melts for this comic. 💙

This comic about spot loving Data so much and Realising Lore is not her person because Data is soft/loving and wouldn’t be mean to spot or try to kill his crew has me in actual tears

I’m finally sharing my new self-portrait with y’all. This is the first artwork I’ve created in Procreate on my new iPad. It took me a while to get used to the program but I’m pretty happy with it. It’s been a while since my last post so I want to say thank you and welcome to all of my new followers! I appreciate ya! 😊⁠ 🔹⁠ Buy me a coffee here: www.ko-fi.com/crystalcurie⁠ I appreciate all your support~ ☕️❤️⁠ 🔹 ⁠ #art #arts #commissionsopen #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #draw #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch #sketchbook #illustrator #artwork #digitalart #selfportrait #character #selfie #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #instaart #traditionalart #originalartwork #instaartist #instadraw #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artist #artists #crystalcurie https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwwyZOFv_Y/?utm_medium=tumblr
