Sketch! Havent been able to make a lot of more finished works cause of midterms :/

I emerge from my lair to present you this blue dragon little print this month (info below)

Phew. To say the start of my year was rough would be a major understatement. I am still working to pick up the pieces and find my footing in art again, slowly but surely, and stepping over more stones along the way- but I am here and I am not giving up. Please enjoy these memes of my cat.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any. The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

How very curious that the people who signed up to ostracize others from their friends, families, and places of employment are so very scared of the thing they readily take money for doing. How I hope we live to see the day their second half of 'do unto others' comes due.

Had the pleasure of drawing a Dapper Mothman for a birthday comm a few months back for a friend of @mudkip-detective.bsky.social ! Absolutely gotta be one of the most fun requests I've ever had! (And I would kill for that outfit, man.) #mothman #cryptid

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.

It is with great pleasure that I begin dming a new dnd campaign, and thereby can begin introducing a new cast and crew of npcs. The story takes place at a famous opera house- The Theatre Macabre, and among the first of its denizens is the noble Tiberious Basalt, its reknowned Maestro.

CEO's languishing over their gen a/i that no one wants being called slop and asking people to stop making fun of it really has the same pathetic and sad energy as "please clap".

Had to do some updated art for Constable seeing as the little guy lives with us now. His dnd self is still ringleading his ragtag crew of runaways and roustabouts. ...And his kitten self I think speaks for himself. (Fiesty!)

⭐1.1K ART RAFFLE⭐ I haven't done one in a good while and want to give back to the lovely people on BSKY! Thank you! RULES: -You must be following me before AND after the raffle ends. -Like & Share this post! -No AI (provide clear refs) -No NSFW ENDS: January 17th 2026 -Results chosen at random!

Just in time! Happy #appreciateadragonday ! I had a lark of a time drawing the terrible Don Vallus stylized as one of @/puddleorganism (tumblr!) Sunseeker species from their comic and world building project Run Away to the Stars!

He has grown so much in so little time but he still sleeps like a big doofus.

I wanna draw my OCs real bad and I am so close to finishing up the archive of my grandma's paintings and I am begging my motivation to stay through the last of it. WORK WITH ME HERE. DRAGONS SOON. DO IT FOR THE DRAGONNNSSS.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Anyway. I am still making art! Hope to be able to post some more soon once I finish up the last big project I'm stuck on! In the meantime thanks for being here and enjoy a little cleanse for your feed with The Holiday Beast.

I am always sadly surprised by the number of people around me that will denounce gen a/i and then try to explain that they 'only use it for...' as if they get to exist as the one its ok for. Like as long as the task is mundane or a bit of a chore for them that justifies the use.

Even the most well intentioned and "uniformed" studios/publishers etc needs to feel a flame so hot when they touch on this that they're scarred for life, I'm sorry. The collateral damage being a studio's *reputation* is nothing compared to the creatives whose work was stolen just to replace them.

I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen. To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity. To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

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...

A bright warm moment in the bleak of this week. Today my township had a meeting about a new data center rezone for gen ai business. I went with my partner to state our feelings. I assumed it would be a small turn out and an awkward thing- a room of much older folks looking to discuss other topics.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could ask anyone anything in an RPG?” he asked. AI could boil through a dozen lakes and still never come up with anything as good as this.

usually you don't have to loudly insist that something is here to stay. it just stays and is self-evidently sticking around. this stuff hasn't proven to be useful in areas outside of fraud.

Anyway. My cat is real. He is good. He knows when to headbutt my phone out of my hand and purr loudly and somersault into my lap. Thanks Constable.

Ok and I'm still not entirely done shouting today so- lemme just say I think its hilariously telling how every ad I see for a/i proudly demonstrates... things most phones and computers have been doing for a decade...

This is it. This is why folks are upset about concept art and power points and temporary text and the like. I do not care how shiny and nice you clean it up, I care that artists, coders, writers, and all other creatives are fairly treated and compensated and credited. A/I does not allow for that.

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it

worm for you

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

Boycott, boycott, boycott. The world is better when humans work together and uplift fellow humans. Support the arts, support human researchers, and denounce the company greed programs just looking to pad their pockets.

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?

Bellossom wraps up poketober this year with beauty and grace! Thanks for tuning in, even if I was late posting it all! Happy to be in thoae Johto numbers! #Pokemon

The nefarious stargazer fish 🐟

Mareep wool sweaters last a lifetime but never lose their propensity for static shocks! #pokemon

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome: - Right-click - Unpin Gone!

A good update, but I think it always best to be wary in these days.

These birds want to remind you "Natu" be mean to yourself c: #Pokemon

But anyway, have a nice egg in these trying times! #Pokémon

And hey while you're all at it mention KOSA too! Protecting kids is NOT the priority of these bills! Its just the same pearl clutching trying to make the argument that lgbt+ is somehow -bad for the children- and must be censored which will -absolutely definitely harm lgbt+ people including children-
