People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

I'm actually going to play a goblin in a DND campaign lol

Rest In Power

insane to me that so many people are like "we need to push back against fascism in all its forms except this one little form they're using as a wedge issue because i personally think it's kinda gross"

What an artist. There can be few comics creators who have had a greater impact than Marjane Satrapi has.

sketch vs final

This is good

this game is AI slop. I don't care if they replaced everything, they still used it, still forced their employees to clean it up, and if someone steals once you can't really trust them not to again studios need to understand that AI usage is toxic and our behavior is the only power we have

We just use broken glass in the early stages of scrambling eggs to make it more efficient, obviously the finished breakfast doesn't have any broken glass in it

"We use AI to iterate on ideas" It's a remake shut the fuck up.

Second WIP #caitvi

Some people are downplaying this as "just using it for storyboards" I don't know how to break it to you, but we already have a means to make those, its called storyboard artists and you pay them a wage. I cannot stomach how little some artists will think of other artists and their livelihoods.

I will not support any product that is or has used AI. Sorry bye✌️

I've said this before but drives me nuts that being a "huge success" in comics, especially indie comics, is just making a sustainable living off your work. They make billion dollar movies off creators that can't pay medical bills. We have to collectively demand far more than what we're offered.

I really dunno why the entertainment industry is so comfortable treating visual artists like shit on a boot, literally no one would care about your slop without them

Made some Lodoss War fanart

For games especially, being anti-AI absolutists matters. Barks, "placeholder art," wherever they think they can get away with has to be treated like rat feces in food. Some coders will keep using it until the pricing adjusts and no one will disclose, but "slop doesn't sell" is the only way forward.

Reposting as a quiet reminder. Nothing is inevitable, except corporations making extravagant claims and then using said claims to secure bailouts when the music stops.

Another one of my practice pieces today. I’m slowly getting the hang of these markers, I think. Oh the struggle is sooooo real!

Part of why the "become obsessed with a blorbo to improve at art" thing is true is because they'll make you do shit you normally might not even try Blorbo is a knight in a fantasy series? Welp I guess I gotta learn how to draw armor now Blorbo has a mech? Welp I guess I'm drawing a fucking mech

Soooo if someone asks you not to sign your art please fucking run.

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

"a lock only keeps out an honest man" applies to a lot of moral panics. "what if someone intending to harm women uses the girls bathroom" they would go in there anyway. "what if a pedo used this to groom" they will use whatever tools they have. "what if an abuser uses these terms" they will use em!!

Little WIP for tomorrow 💙❤️ #korrasami

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

the account-level filter is absurd. I have adult content set to warn, because I'm fine with it generally but don't want it showing up on my phone while I'm in public – now if I see the warning I can't tell whether it's something actually NSFW or just an artist posting their dog

I don't want to be in my room. I want to be a feral racoon. 🦝 #sketch

Like, what's under there? Is it a risque pinup drawing, which I'm fine with seeing? Is it a giant ejaculating wiener, which I don't want to see? Surprise! It's neither! It's a regular text post complaining about this change being really poorly implemented! :(

Please set your adult content moderation to warn. The auto mod frequently misidentified adult content, appeals are often ignored or denied. If my entire account is labeled adult because I post artistic nudity and your moderation is set to hide you will not be able to see anything from my account

I’m strongly opposed to whole accounts getting moderation labels. BlueSky is already the most prudish social media network I’ve ever posted on, where I’ve posted comic promo images of a clothed couple kissing on a bed or a bare butt in a non-sexual content that were auto-labelled as “explicit sex.”

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
