Happy New Year May our enemies perish in embarrassing ways

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

how many billions of gallons of water evaporated just this week for this?

Gaia's Gift 🦌✨

TFW Lucy Lawless visited Digital Extremes once and I thought she might show up in Warframe one day #warframe #fanart #art #artpost

Oh and here is my full alternative list of my own choices for colors of the year for 2026 Feel free to use! I think they make a nice set together for a earthy, but bright palette

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

*Puts chili crisp on everything even though my guts will protest* I accept these consequences! >:U *internal screaming*

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

Taking commissions for January, please RT 🧡 If you are interested please contact me via e-mail: [email protected]

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

I started watching The Mighty Nein and then got invested into the fancy Tiefling 🐍✨ #themightynein #Mollymauk

Does anyone remember when I did chibi character commissions? Because I would like to do some again.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Those Vanity Fair photos are what happens when you piss off artists lol

Good morning✨ #BG3 #Halstarion

A lot of people are sick right now. Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both! A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid. My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more. Mask up & save lives!

*Snerk*

Every artist you know has a fucking reference both in their head and saved in books, objects, photo folders, etc. The sausage isn’t made like that and the experience of being able to take those references and make them into something that makes sense is kind of the whole thing, that’s communication

If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship

Swen, dude, wtf :/

Thinking about getting Andee as a tressym for my next tattoo 🤔

Forgot I took this picture ✨️

The conscious claws of Doc Ock! 🔴 (Spider-Man 2, 2004) As a huge fan of Doc Ock/Alfred Molina for over 20 years Ive wanted to animate him for a long time! Its not often I animate humans as they can be a bit challenging, but for a rough practice clip Im happy with the turnout! :D
