Hi! I hope you can help me share this post. I need to undergo some medical tests :'( Some of them are on the expensive side. I can't take any more commissions, but if you'd make a donation to my ko-fi, I can offer a doodle in exchange! ko-fi.com/verovero

Man, seeing all the posts for portfolio day just makes it hit real hard that I barely fucking drew anything last year. Like the amount of times I even start something has withered to almost nothing. 15 pieces of art posted to my Tumblr, 2 of those were art studies that I hadn't finished 2024

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Happy place 💓

Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, remains in total darkness yet another day after a brutal Russian attack. No heat, electricity, or water. Subzero temperatures. The mayor has advised people to leave the city if they can to try to avoid mass deaths. This is Russian genocide of Ukrainians.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

This is my favorite headcanon and it's a great example of how readers can offer a different reading of a text that the author never considered and did not intend, but is nonetheless validated by the text itself.

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread. This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

Horses, Peacefully Farting and Snoring

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump. And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine. We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" I revised the cop's hand on this. (To be clear: didn't draw the original shot, just did a note in the production process. Still, I feel like I touched greatness. 😌)

Idk how old i was but same, just add in Oriana from the Felix the cat movie lol

This is the single greatest piece of rock art in human history

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The Mouse King meeting Snowflake. The king and the Nutcracker could become the best of allies, but strangely, no one wanted to tell this story.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

Goodbye December ❄️ Wishing everyone a beautiful ending to the last day of the year tomorrow and a beautiful start to a new one!!

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

listen, I can excuse all the racist bigotry and the violent ragebait and the AI animal abuse videos and the entire thing being ran by a nazi pedophile, but letting AI mess with MY artwork?? that's TOO far

Weird world where I'm getting jazzed by actual massive companies, just cos they're sticking the boot into the slop-merchants But this does look quite pretty, big Seizō Watase vibes

Dragon custom, for Muldi

holy shit ....some of the black lines in the redactions of the epstein files were just, like, a fucking new layer over top of the pdf, so all the original text was preserved. there's no way.... omfg #political

"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

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

‘The Amazing World of Gumball’ creator Ben Bocquelet confirms James Baxter 2D animated Gumball and Darwin in a new episode: “[It’s] James Baxter, the greatest living hand-drawn animator.”

See, companies? That's all it takes for massive resounding public messaging success.

PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

we can't let our hostility to plagiarism and ripoffs slip even a little bit. I made that mistake with sandfall and I regret it we have to push studios, channels, whatever, to be EXPLICIT in not using AI, whether it's an acknowledgement somewhere or just a statement. it isn't the default anymore.

I disagree, Larian is being made an example out of, it’s like putting a head on a pike. The message? “We don’t care if you made BG3. We will not forgive any use of AI”

this is why, all things considered, I'm not too scared about the future.

Weirdos market tonite was amazing!!! Sold my 14 handmade cat toys in like 2 hours LOL and the litterbox gacha went so well!!! ALSO!?? Y’all drew almost 130 cats TONIGHT ALONE i thought this would last me all weekend 🤣🤣🤣

i love "Terracotta mask in the shape of the head of a fox, dog, or bat ca. 600–480 BCE" so much he's so perfect
