I was a bit melancholic about the internet yesterday, but I realize now that the feeling mostly came from the fact that search is very broken almost everywhere Outside of fedi nobody uses hashtags anymore. So if you want to discover new opinion and current discussion on let’s say gardening you need to search...

Posted by NIGHTEN on December 20, 2025 In September 2024, I finally took the leap and launched my art newsletter, something I was dreaming about for months beforehand. Flash-forward to 2025, and I still kept the habit of publishing one new issue every single week, first on Sunday evening and then on Tuesday evening....

Artists often have this shame about “promoting” what they are doing, even if it’s something they do for no monetary gain. They are afraid of bothering people, or they are doing the bare minimum when they have a new piece to show. This is a trap I fall into way too much. But I’m slowly learning how foolish this is....

Never make art for social media This is not a joke. You want to make art for fun? Don’t make art for social media.You want to work in the industry and have your art published? Don’t make art for social media.You want to be famous on social media? Don’t make art for social media.

I put a lot of effort into my illustrations, but each time I finish a piece I can’t help but clearly see all the flaws: The anatomy is wrong, the subject not interesting enough, those details distracting, or I’ve been lazy in some other aspect. There is always something I see that can be...

I came across this post by @Jo , that captured a feeling I’ve had for a long time: “Fun internet Theory” states that there are still a lot of cool and interesting things to do online. This is a reference to the Dead Internet Theory, which states that the internet is invaded with bots and algorithmic slop.

Posted by NIGHTEN on July 28, 2025 I wanted to brainstorm an idea with you: How to reuse a single art into multiple posts. This is especially important for me, as I prefer to make fewer illustration that I can repost at any time - instead of always grinding and chasing trends. And good art takes a long time to make,...

Posted by NIGHTEN on June 14, 2025 Hello! This is a comic I made for the "8-godzinny Maraton Komiksowy 2025" event in Krakow.

Posted by NIGHTEN on August 18, 2024 It has been a good while since I've last shared progress on "Hi, Welcome to Froggy's!", my silly time management game about surviving the night shift at your local Froggy's store. Progress has been very slow since the last update last year; reason being that I had to grind days...

For personal website, one type of content that I think works uniquely well is the kind of page that gets updated sporadically, and is not time specific So basically instead of making a blog post "Favorite games of 2024" you have a page "Favorite games" that you can update whenever you want and link people to It can...
