No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Maybe I’m speaking out of line here (that’s heavy sarcasm by the way) but individuals with autism aren’t pawns to be used in political games and shouldn’t continue to be further stigmatized for an agenda. Which is exactly what is happening in the United States.

I think it is important to note that there’s nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

fuck that I'm not handing over info as an "experiment"

Support the creatives in your life as much as possible right now. Every single one I know is struggling *exceptionally* hard lately, myself included

it’s Barret Wallace’s birthday, and it’s also ✨my✨ birthday 🎈 give the big guy some love for the both of us 👉🏽👈🏽❤️ #FF7 #FFVII #FF7R #FFVIIR #finalfantasy #finalfantasy7 #art

feeling uninspired? burned out, even? but still wanna create? follow your curiosity. watch a documentary, read a book, go down a wiki rabbit hole, check out that park you've been meaning to go to. take photos, write notes, build your own library. most of all - rest. ur art will be where u left it.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

their lust disgusts me #jayvik #arcane (closeups below)

If you use Poipiku to upload erotic drawings, you probably want to check the new guidelines especially regarding concealing genitalia: poipiku.com/GuideLinePcV... And if you're wondering why artist you support suddenly deleted everything there, it's most likely because of this!

it's nice seeing PC gamers turn on AI because ram prices have postponed the steam machine (and ostensibly hl3) release indefinitely hehe

Smol new year doodle 🎉

Everyone's dropping tips for people making the switch to Bsky but I'll drop a tip that applies to artists moving to any new platform: Don't be embarrassed about your older art, and treat them like a backlog! You don't have to start completely fresh by only posting newer art.

its the end of the year. support the artists trying to leave twitter by following their profiles here, tell them using tags *just like tumblr* actually archives their art here and allows anyone to browse per interest without a shitty grok algorithm hiding posts. you can help twitter die in 2026

Hi if you're new and wanna see my porn do this

There's a really sad scam targeting comic book Kickstarters right now where people email you pretending to be fellow comic creators/publishers. They're obviously fake template emails with fake addresses, but could easily catch out newcomers or people with less experience.

I promise I'll draw him normally sometime, but the pajamas fit was too fun to resist it

-Comes into your space uninvited, without permission -Greedily uses up resources preferentially - Forces a new mode of existence on you -Steals your own shit to sell back to you -Desperately wants to convince you that its arrival is good, that these are glad tidings AI or colonialism?

You've probably already seen it and sorry I can't/won't get back to every single tag, but I was among those that spoke to Edmond about the nature of concept art and the influence of AI Thank you so much again @edmondtran.bsky.social for the opportunity and giving us a voice __ (yes that is Fritz)

落書きもぐともご

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.

now thats a headline right there

Studio heads believe "GenAi is so fucking magical and will take us back to the old days of smaller teams and shorter production times" when the obvious answer is either make a smaller game or Universal Basic Income 😀 But when the bubble pops, the artists will be the first to suffer, not him.

Knowing how to express an idea so others can connect with it IS LITERALLY THE ACT OF MAKING ART. If you can't do that, you can't create art. Full stop.

Top comment on Reddit sums up Larian head's defense of "additive Generative AI" incredibly well

I do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but their enthusiasm makes the work feel more alive

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages." Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder. I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.

Happy 80th Birthday to Ernie Hudson, whose many acting credits include HOLD IT, THIS GUY IS 80? WHAT????

"the essay sucks ass" is no doubt true, couldn't be bothered to read it, but consider that the essay may have been written to receive an F in order to instigate a campaign against the trans TA. in any case it's not a great dunk because this isn't about the essay, it's about purging trans ppl

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

The Impact of AIDS on the Artistic Community, by Fran Lebowitz. For World AIDS Day. 1 of 2:

hey w how trad pub is likely going to be pulling back on books by marginalized authors, now more than ever, please get over whatever roadblock exists in your mind that keeps you from branching out to indie books. if the trad space starts to look dire soon (and it will), this is gonna be the solution

Please call if you can! We want them to know they're having this hearing in the shadow of our vehement disapproval

This artist just got their paypal nuked, please support them! ❤️

We can make as many new platforms as we want but they will all have to bend the knee to payment processors. We know who we must force change on.
