PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

let's fucking GO

Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.

Took another run at the lighting and I think we might have finally nailed the style we were always aiming for. Here's a little bit of combat in the Goliath Basements to show off how it looks in motion.

Heads up ya'll! with Bluesky rolling out moderation crack down in their new update, please consider enabling "adult content" under your moderation tab in settings. Not so you can have porn on your feed, but to ensure that you can still see posts with the word "stupid" and "hell" in it-

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

‼️ IMPORTANT PSA ‼️ Go to your settings and enable NSFW art and set content filters to warn or show!! NSFW creators are having their entire accounts marked and hidden to people now!! ‼️ SUPPORT NSFW ARTISTS ‼️

Volume 4 and first ever commission for the Natural Beauty series. Greta the Robot who belongs to @smirkytrick.bsky.social Originally I was gonna make it humans only, but then I scrapped that plan and made NB open to any species of female character

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

Reposting this-- Bluesky hides NSFW posts from you by default so you'll miss my work if you don't turn it on: SETTINGS > MODERATION> Set toggle to Enabled ✨ Also be sure to turn on "sexually suggestive (cartoon)" setting: SETTINGS > MODERATION > Bluesky Moderation Service > Set to "off"

Ya know what... Giveaway time... I'm going to draw something and mail it to a randomly selected follower who likes, follows and reposts this 'cause why not...

Just going to say this, I've always been against AI. I will never stoop that low to use it. I've been getting a lot of people accusing me of using AI in the poster I drew for Scott the Woz. Just remember there are actual artists out there that are trying to survive doing art in this world.

If nothing else, Jorge R. Gutierrez backing out of that AI project due to backlash proves how much the people do NOT want this slop. It is being pushed on us because it is not popular! People DON'T WANT IT. This is hopeful.

Jorge R. Gutierrez has announced he is dropping out of Amazon’s AI program and will no longer be making the animated series Punky Duck. “I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me.”

Guillermo del Toro in new tweet supporting ‘I Am Frankelda’: “Made by humans for humans.”

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

Don't let the state of the industry discourage you. Let it fuel you. Continue to show them that anything you create is leagues better than anything produced by their theft machines.

Coming back to this but we really don't lay into pro-ai people enough for these two specific reasons. Calling someone a creative sellout is a surface-level condemnation when what they are really most guilty of is their indifference to the environmental loss and health hazards these tools create

Ok, this is it, I'm going full indie now 😎 Me and my friends at @ragdollfrog.bsky.social are making a Karate Kid-like Beat 'em Up game! We'll be sharing lots of stuff from now own, starting with our protagonist Laura! Here's a little progress on creating her 3D model #BRart #gamedev #indiedev

Suddenly felt like making this today. Making things is hard, but it's magic. And it's worth it. #dungeonflippers

Wherever you land on this spectrum, you are valid and I support you

Hey you know what's less expensive than AI, doesn't pollute water of nearby towns, looks fucking gorgeous forever, and people will actually be excited for? Stopmotion. The kind that you make in front of a camera with human hands.

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

Make art. Make good art. Make “bad” art. Make mistakes. Make a huge godawful mess. Make something as beautiful & beyond your wildest dreams as you can, no matter how many times you need to do it. It doesn’t matter what you make. The most important and beautiful thing is that it all starts with you.

"I Am Frankelda" is coming to Netflix on June 12. A Mexican stop-motion feature film by Arturo & Roy Ambriz (Cinema Fantasma).

‘Amphibia’ creator Matt Braly speaks out against the use of AI in animation: “If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain’t worth it.”

new mental barometer for artists: if your drawing doesnt directly poison the planet then its automatically better than you think

Me, after spending a good chunk of May on a MGS illustration and in the middle of considering doing one for Drive in June, only to come online and find out that Kojima and Winding Refn did an AI ad for Prada... In the words of Miyazaki:

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

Dark Horse management has consistently failed to protect its workers from everything from sexual harassment to discrimination to layoffs, a union is long past due. I support them, and you should too ✊🏼

Pick it up

it's about who they can get to bend the knee, and then brag about being down there. They chose him. They knew there are precious few who could break industry hearts. No way this was not a targeted attack. Don't give up. I won't give up.

heya! i started a "Fund's Raiser" over on ko-fi to temporarily help cover essential bills, so i can focus getting to proper business on the animation for this summer! been beefing up my Cartoonsmaking Powers!! ko-fi.com/aimkid

yooo welcome to all the new ppl following me!!! If you want to support games made without AI here is my game 🐁 We also have two cool anti-AI posters in-game:

I promise none of my current or future projects will have any AI whatsoever. Period.

Heads up: Lazy asshats are now using this tag as a way to shoehorn themselves and their disgusting slop into people’s feed. Do yourself a favor and mute it.

Hey artists! Are you prepared for an unexpected drive failure? Do you practice good data hygiene?

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

@gooseworx.bsky.social I don't know if you're gonna see this message or not. But if you do, I hope you're doing good. I know you've been getting alot of undeserved flack. But I figured if I can send any good vibes your way this post would be one of them. I hope you get a deserved vacation. Take care

A note about us: we publish games When They're Done, meaning when the devs finish them - no matter how long that takes. Crunch culture doesn't exist here.
