I had such issues yesterday with the python homework and now I am like: waiiit a minute, it's not THAT hard and I always forget that breaks are very important. So a kindly reminder to take breaks, your brain will thank you.

I think even for people who aren't artists, there are many who enjoy art as a human feat of skill and expression even if they are doing no art creation themselves. Even if AI art was better then human art, and it's not, no one gives a shit that a forklift can carry more then a weightlifter.

just had the realization that the type of person who enjoys making ai art is someone who prioritizes it’s consumption, while those who dislikes ai art is someone who values the act of creating art

I may be slightly stressed. I forgot to eat the whole day AGAIN and stuffed my face with pizza - but wasn't even able to finish half of it. And I am so afraid of failing the classes/tests I can't sleep and it's not even exhamination phase

Did you know that using social media passively, the impact on your mental health is more negative? I am working on an essay about sm - but it makes sense why I like to use bluesky and youtube more, because there is exchange of a sort. And less bots or fake content.

Big News! Gema won a lawsuit against open AI! Hah! European copyright law fights back. This is good. @emilymbender.bsky.social if that might interest you. www.gema.de/de/w/grundsa...

I was able to get my huge ass painting to a professional photograph and I will have (fingers crossed) a good photo to use it for the official exhibition catalogue. If I don't die of exhaution soon I might design a zine/miniartbook with all of my pieces for the exhibition???

Does any of you know a manufacturer in germany who prints fine art prints and does not need to have over 100 orders but the qualitiy is still good?

Is that a bot? Like a scam bot? Or is that a sign from the universe?

Not sure what exactly happened but I am so tired of art making. Being online, trying to be seen and so on. That's why I don't want to pursue anything in that regards anymore and am not motivated to share anything at all. Am I giving up? Yes, I do. I feel like shit and I want it to stop.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It's really funny, because Hoyoverse Games are known for their incredible art and design and the huge amount of fanart and fan content. Would immediatly stop doing that if I were a fanartist.

boycott boycott boycott :))

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Here's the drawing process of my newest illustration :3 let me know what you think 🙇‍♂️ youtu.be/8EmK9J49nDs

Fixed the portrait and rendered the hand a bit. Still under two hours, now I can move on. To cite Mel Milton "one dook at a time." #selfportraitday2025

I have the huge urge to organize a zine against fascism and donate the money to organisations fighting against it. Does any german artist would be interested? Would that be something...good? A good idea?

Can someone tell me what the hell this is: superintelligence-statement.org @emilymbender.bsky.social (do you know of that statement and will you give your thoughts on that?)

I post this here first~ Columbina drawing! #digitaldrawing #illustration

I am thinking about getting back to social media earlier, because I will write an essay about social media, artists and stuff and want to try out a few things myself. On another note, does anyone know how I might get someone out of the pro-ai-tech-bro-cult who is knee deep into it?

Bird & Darling OC commission for Cole <3 thank you!

Heute die Skellabra Quest in #Pokémon Legenden ZA gemacht und ich LIEBE ES so sehr 😭 Stickerchen gibt's auf ko-fi.com/nerdshit/shop

This Genshin Update got me really interested! Rerir and Flins based on the trailer scene :) #digitalillustration #fanart #clipstudiopaint

So before I vanish into my detox again, I found out something curious: I want to connect with people through my art and therefore it's devastating seeing it be not seen (or liked) by "many" people. It's hurting me so much that I think I should just stop creating. 1/2 Secondly it's interesting how

I really want to organize an exhibition and the topic is "generative ai" with lots of artist showing their work and thoughts about it....

Rendering Process of my new Illustration: Husky OC!

I always read comments on how much water data centers really consume & I am honestly confused. A study shows that the amount of usage is huge if you consider what it's used for. Also it's hilarious that a lot of data center even say transparently how much they are using. 1/2

I don't want magic to happen what the fuck is wrong with these people. and i dont want to talk to my fucking computer fuck this shit. how do i install linux?

Tomorrow is portfolio day and I have nothing really "new" to show, but I made a few "value studies" in my sketchbook yesterday, so I will show this: #sketchbook #valuestudies #penstudies

So, after overhearing a discussion it is true we will be forced to work with generative ai to generate assets for games to "work faster and more efficient". Which is really funny, since all of us have an artist background. Wouldn't it be way smarter to give us the skills to draw & work faster?

I finally was able to finish editing my YouTube Video about my exhibition piece. It's german with english subtitles! Pls watch, it would mean a lot to me! 🙏🏻✨ youtu.be/trnQEolwHag

my xp pen...pen is not working anymore. It's fixed, like I am pressing a button and I did everything possible. My cat kicked the pen off the table (accidents happen). I think it's broken. I need a tablet for my bachelors degree. Rip me. I already cried a lot, now I have to solve this problem.

I read this article www.afr.com/technology/a... and it's full of contradition. The worst thing is: the $2.3 million investement should have gone to start-ups which solve real issues. If the problem could be solved by talking to real people and do the things slow and good, THAN DO IT??

Short break from my social media detox, because I wanna share my first godot game ever. It's not perfect, but it's my first one and I figured out to put a counter into the game on my own haha! Anyway. mochimona.itch.io/6ghosts

I, again, skip my social media detox to tell you about "Cat Attack", a nice trigger for confusing LLMs and making them prone to up to 700% false output just by typing a cat fact after a mathproblem. I laughed very hard. arxiv.org/pdf/2503.01781

@emilymbender.bsky.social I was at an event today where the "artists" used 100% generative ai and made a chatbot with "whom" you could "talk" about colonialism, oppression. I stood my ground, arguing, using as much knowledge I had but I have a few questions I wanted to ask professionalls. 1/2

Posttechnisch einfach bester Tag heute. Endlich wunderbare cozy #MarPost (und wie cute ist diese Karte?!) und dazu noch mein @mochimona.bsky.social Paket. Und es ist alles so so schön. Es ist ein bisschen wie Post-Weihnachten 😁😌

Starting 22.09.2025, I will be doing a social media detox. Last year I did the same for the last 100 days of the year and it was so good for my mental health and work! So. If I am not posting, you know why. You always can reach me via email: mochimochimona(at)gemail.com. The only difference:

Vielen Dank für die Bestellung <3

I think I'll be doing a social media detox again. Last year I did the same - 100 days.

Thank ALL of you for giving me so much support. Sharing, liking, commenting, buying! It means so much to me! I can start my bachelor's with more ease and less panic about my health insurance or when I need to get materials or something. 🙏🏻😭 Thank you!

I don't talk about it that much, but I have a chronic condition due to my very bad posture. A cervical vertebra is pushing onto my nerves in my neck and sometimes I have so much pain in my right arm, I can't even hold a pen. I get dizzy a lot & I thought for the longest time I had a tendonitis. 1/

Meine #Twitch Emote Commissions sind wieder offen! Ich zeichne und animiere auch auf Wunsch Emotes, Badges und mehr. Schreibt mir gern via Discord (nerdshit) oder per DM. Ich würde mich riesig freuen 💜 #twitchemotes #commission #art #twitchemoteartist

Wir schauen heute bei unseren Tomodachi Life Leutchen vorbei! ☕️ #twitch 🔴 twitch.tv/nerdshit

‪ Because I have so much left & I can't bring myself to throw away everything, you can get the direct printed version of my totebag for 3,99€ instead of 7,99€. With every purchase, you get the Witch print or sticker (or both) for free as well as the sticker with the rabitt! ko-fi.com/mochimona/shop

I think AI is a symptom of the greater illness. it speaks to growing financial instability, wage gaps, fascism, the exploitation of labor. I am (so) grateful that I have been able to survive on private commissions so far ; without them, I don't know what I would do. I am scared of the future.

this is the first year in my career that I've not had a single new commercial opportunity, much less the stable workflow of years past. my stolen costume and character designs turn up next to ai-generated "worldbuild" inspiration aggregates, illustrated book covers + editorial are elusive. screams.
