generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Incredible, a spiky iguanodont was just described!! The structures seem different from proto-feathers in dinosaurs and spiky scales in squamates!! #paleontology #dinosaurs #science Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I think I really captured the unsettled nature of @tayturs.bsky.social's creature, Griffin the Dog

Congrats to France for actually kinda nutting up and treating Musk like the pedophile he is very publicly documented to be but let’s be honest if France is doing that first every other country really fucked up here.

Fuck the Artists

Godzilla doodle 😈✏️

My new pins are back in stock!! I was a bit unprepared for just how much you guys liked these last time. rjpalmerstore.com/collections/...

will never get tired of museums doing this

Doodling with a new pen that has a funny bent tip so you can get really thick or thin lines depending on how you angle it. Highly recommend

Wip. A type of mammal that evolved into a form capable of flight. I worked on it thinking that it evolved at an extreme speed in some polluted area.

I have never been moved to tears by a quirky tech youtuber before. I really need folks to see the last 15 minutes of this even if you can't commit to the whole thing. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

"he's so friend shaped" OKAY, PHRENOLOGIST

Pilot makes a modular multipen called a Coleto that you can swap out different color inks but they also make mechanical pencil components for it. So I loaded it up with 2h, 2b, and 4b lead plus an eraser component and now I have the ultimate pencil, the Omega Pencil.

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure

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.

X the Everything App is doing so poorly they have now started stealing ideas from Bluesky but doing it worse

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖 Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

My Samus redesign with the Giger slider cranked waaay up.

I watched Kurosawa’s Yojimbo for the first time last night. Kinda felt like a knockoff of Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars if you ask me. Pretty mid.

What are your art ambitions for 2026? Make sure to post them here so we can publicly shame you if you achieve none of them!!

ルカリオです！

Has anyone made a tool to transfer all the accounts from a starter pack into a feed/list?

Today is my 24th birthday! Thank you all so much for the support over the past year 💙 As a tradition I started last year, I draw a birthday illustration for myself to reflect on my work from the past year — so here’s this year’s piece. I think I’ll keep creating more fantasy creatures ✨

Good reminder to do this again because I just found hundreds of folks I followed on twitter that have gotten bsky accounts in the time since I last did this. Also folks please, please update your bio to say who you are and what you do here.

successful artists love to marinate in each other's mental illnesses. Its what gives us the flavor you are crave

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

Hey new folks, here's a collection of top tier artists you can follow. Concept Artists: go.bsky.app/TyNJQ99 Creature Designers: go.bsky.app/SBCxqoa Pro Illustrators 1: go.bsky.app/79aS32C Pro Illustrators 2: go.bsky.app/D3T5kF Good Paleoartists: go.bsky.app/RYwJUEK

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

Genuinely though Pipe Rock Theory gets our exact moment better than anything else I've seen.

"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

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

Been working on this giant illustration for the last 3 months now. I uh might have bitten off more than I am actually capable of actually doing with my current skill level. I realize now how old masters could spend years on a single big piece. I love it but also it’s crushing me.

Yoooo the teaser for a game I did creature designs for came out. Stay to the end to see my beautiful baby boy youtu.be/iUY6bFjivWU
