Thank you for continuing to be loud about censorship It's been a lot of doom lately and I want you to actually congratulate yourselves on these little victories and let them invigorate you bc they add up to a movement Fear is a good motivator, despair is a terrible one and hope is the best of all

I think the term x-slop might be a psyop. Only seen it used to address things that are painstakingly hand made. Small indie games, long form YouTube essays, indie music, ect. If someone spends a great deal of energy making something and people like it. There is a group of people labeling it x-slop.

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

It's gone btw lol

bluesky ain't been in operation long enough to alienate its lewd artists for profit

Thank you, Damon. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you Gorillaz 🇵🇸 donate.togetherforpalestine.org/campaigns/to...

Quickly losing the good faith I begrudgingly gave bluesky leadership that have career history in crypto and silicon valley tech.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

The great thing about videogames is there already exists more games than I'd ever be able to play in a single life time, so there is absolutely no reason why I have to bother with anything using AI, generative, shite. Easiest thing for me in the world to go "Oh? not playing that then"

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Speaking from exp, the hardest part of a campaign is when you're halfway into it when the newness has worn off. It feels like you're not getting as much done and can feel like a slog. THESE ARE LIES! You're as effective, if not more, than you were before. You just have to keep being consistent.

art engaging with sexuality is a core part of human experience. stand with artists and sex workers forever and always ✌️”sexual deviancy” is constructed by those with power— that definition will keep widening! fight that shit!!!!!!

Folks! The ban against states regulating AI is DEAD! It’s was voted 99-1! This victory belongs to us all! Unfettered GenAi is an issue for us all, and groups from all walks of life came together to demand we regulate! Your calls and action made the difference! So thank you everyone! We did this!

Hey all! I'm an artist and gamedev who likes building worlds and exploring different styles in Unity/UE5. I'm currently developing a project with some talented folks that I'm excited to share in the near-ish future. In the meantime, here's a compilation of look dev work I've done previously.

Lines of Pee

Yet again, there is an uptick in good art on my feed after June 1st...hmmmmmmmm

Visual development art by Paul Felix for Lilo & Stitch (2002), dir. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois

It literally only took 5-6 minutes with 5call. I hate phone calls and was surprised how frictionless it was. Seriously yall, call your reps.

Protector of the last child, the Mothmage lights the way with moon magic. #Cosmos #characterdesign #conceptart #gameart

Cardi B's met gala fit is so good why aren't more people praising it??

I wish you could see people's likes because it was such a fantastic way to find art on other SM 😭

A break from Cosmos to psot this higher def version of my Primal Rage redesigns, Diablo and Sauron! Vertigo is next 🐍

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

Shadows give rise to something new. We’re excited to reveal that a new DLC is in the works, which will include - among other features - a new biome and a new species: BATS! 🦇 Check out the full announcement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/133...

art vs artist

I don't remember if I posted these here, but I did some VFX concept art works for Riot a while ago for the Steve Aoki and Soul Fighters TFT events

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

One of my favorite artists is on Bluesky, give them some follows!

I got to burden two friends with the knowledge of pizza time last night and I'm still riding high off it

I just played through Okami for the 3rd time few months ago, I'm in shock

okami...........

My friends are incredible people, I wish we were not on opposite sides of the planet 😭

I updated my blender version from years ago and there are so many more features holy schmoly
