I found Bored Panda during the pandemic, and it was my ray of sunshine in the middle of all the depressing chaos around me. I've been hooked ever since.
Bored Panda was also my first exposure to digital art, a whole new medium for me. I used to paint (oils and acrylics) but eventually it became an expensive hobby I couldn't afford, but I missed expressing myself in art and finding a way to shout without shouting.
Anyway, I am still learning this medium, but I hope you enjoy some of my creations below, mostly focused on societal issues. I also do fantasy art and surrealism, and working on putting some of the designs on products and hoping it will take off one day.

"Disease(D)"
This was my own personal feeling when Roe v Wade was shot down; for the first time in my life, as a woman, I felt less than human. As if we are a disease; flawed and something to be hidden away.

If your enetertainment requires animal abuse, your entertainment is wrong
"Girls Night Out"
This is just one of a series I was creating depicting a dystopian future. They are some of my personal favorites , and it was my way to show on the outside what I was feeling on the inside.
"Revolution" - Along The Same Vein As The Other Dystopian Pic
"Corporate Greed" - Inspired By The Bhopal Disaster. In A Book I Read On It, They Mentioned The First Victim Was Some Cattle, And That Stuck With Me
"Soon"

"No Choice" - Pro Choice, Pro Life -With What Is Happening In The Us (And Other Parts Of The World) I Feel Women Are Having Less And Less Choices
"The End" - Just My Vision Of A Nuclear End To The Planet
I'll say one thing: there are reasons why great powers haven't fought directly since 1945, and i'm not saying the nuclear deterrent is the only reason, but it definitely is one of them
"Running Late" - This Was Actually Inspired By My Hometown Of Gary, In, An Industrial City That Has Turned Into A Ghost Town
These later photos are better generated, definitely still AI, but not as f****d up
"Dog Fighting" - My Intent Was To Depict This Very Horrible Practice In A Way That Would Not Be Gory But Still Give A Feel Of This Barbaric "Sport"
Most, if not all of these, are definitely AI generated. C'mon, we really gotta lie about art now? They're still cool even if they're AI generated, but be honest about it
