Furlana is the real deal, she is THAT amazing at art and she is worth every penny she asks for her commissions and ych requests. I can vouch for her anyday, been following her for long before AI was even a thing. Its really sad and insulting randoms demand credentials like they are art experts.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Suraj has a point.

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

I've been trying to study how 8-bit sprites were made and it is fascinating. The limitation of the hardware made people be creative when it comes to making games for the era. I also been using a shader to see how the characters look and how the shapes change with that visual.

Squeech, my new chud son, is something else.

Knowing how beloved this franchise is and how grateful an artist could be if they were sélecteur and in charge of the cover art, for it to have been made with AI of all things in the end ... This is crazy, c'est catastrophique.

Hey guys just a quick PSA before you buy that KH collection for the Switch 2, just know that the "official artwork" for it was made by AI. Either they didn't commission Nomura to make any artwork for it, or Nomura was the one that used AI. So.......don't buy it!

This is one of the shots I posed and animated for the @earthbornegames.bsky.social trailer! thank you so much to the lovely gang of Half Giant for having me on board 🙌 #animation #earthborne

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

GenAI creators are not creators.

Here's my last assignment for my 2D animation course with Animation Mentor. Studying the Preston Blair's animation pointers inspired me to use a Tom and Jerry character for a basic head turn and take, so here's the white cat (apparently named Toodles Galore) lookin cute and getting startled.

Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.

I made a lowpoly character based on the Bone Witch from @foresttherotten.bsky.social as a small study. ^^ Created wit hBlender 5.1 and Susbtance Painter 2021. #b3d #blender3d #fanart #Witch #lowpoly #3dmodel #3dcharacter #stylized

"Gnome Show", an original series project created by Cas van de Pol (known for his parody videos). Pilot episode >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Do... He's used to working with other indie animators, and I note that Mehdi Alibeygi has joined his team here.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

Hello #PortfolioDay👋 I do 3D Character Art in general.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

I'll plug this. While Bob McKnight's work fell a bit outside of my sphere of experience growing up, knowing the depth of his legacy even adjacently now is enough to make its preservation absolutely top priority, especially during this ongoing period of unspeakable larceny against our industry

This is the splash art I created for Krita 5.3.0 / 6.0.0, aiming to depict a refreshing and pleasant summer seaside scene. Full version, source file and creative process can be found on my website in my profile info.

I fear we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this Barret meme.

Remember how Activision was founded on the idea to put its developers first after Atari refused to even give then credit for the games they created. Shit sucks nowdays.

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news. I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in. Please DO NOT send hate to anyone! If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

Just beat it ten minutes ago, I will highly recommend it. A simple and fun play, with staggeringly beautiful art direction and yet another gorgeous OST by Austin Wintory. In our current day of crumbling creative integrity, this was a much needed reimmersion into experiencing Art, For The Sake Of Art

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it
