Looks like a pay-to-play art website is scraping VGen for artists to contact and sell editorials to. Scummy practices aside, their website is covered in AI generated images, as well as seemingly AI written articles. If you get contacted by "Fine Arts News", delete it. More info in replies 🧵

You rolled a 1 didn't you 💀

So an art bot tried to critique my pictogram experiments yesterday ... emphasis on TRIED. AI can't actually "see" the art, let alone have the capacity to understand it. Anyway, it went off of my art's alt text & I have a habit of adding creative/director's cut commentary. A New way to Break AI lol

Wanting to keep drawing at 4am because a graphic design book I thrifted for $3 last week gave me art inspiration. 😅🙃 The pictograms were only the beginning lol.

"I used AI to-" Then you aren't an artist. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a writer. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a coder. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a game dev. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a poet. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a filmmaker. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a teacher.

Just an experiment with pictograms. #horrorart #digitalart #timelapse #art

Sometimes I draw stuff because I can without asking myself if I should, but I'm glad I did it for the laughs. Now who should I draw next? 👀 #fanart #omniscientreadersviewpoint #orv #chibi

Porkbun-Man! Proudly produced without the any use of AI 🥟

Just a doodle 🎨

A doodle a day to ruin GenAI's day 🎨

Of course it is in the middle of the night that I see the news that another artistic role model is no longer a good role model to have anymore. It is time to create out of spite. 😈 A doodle a day to ruin GenAI's day.

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

A very very busy weekend. I got to hold a falcon named Goose at the Shasta Renaissance faire and panic make extra merch for day 2. I 😅 sadly was too busy to get a good pic of the booth when it was shiny and new, but it was a lot of fun all the same.

Talk about a blast from the past 😅 found some of my first art prints. I remember people kept asking me to draw in front of them at the convention because I made the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy print too on model according to them and needed to prove that it wasn't traced😭

Congratulations everyone

Finally found a brush with settings that gives the good scratchy feel that I would normally get from a pencil.

It is only day 5 of 2026.

Saw more people joining BlueSky again, so here is my starter pack for Artists who only make their own art and are against AI. Support real artists and stand against AI, it is antiblack, slave labor, anti-environment and theft!!

The waterfall rain is back...

The flooding in my area is crazy. Luckily my street is on a low sloping hill (with us at the top) but the flooding has created rivers at the cross streets on both ends. Both roads are closed, but it's clear enough on our street for vehicles to safely slip through before the waterline. 🙃

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

It is so weird having a cat that likes water now 💀. She only sneaks outside when it rains just to jump in the puddles and chase raindrops. She knows she isn't supposed to and runs back in if she sees us in the window. Wallie is a menace because she then flops on me and my bed.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

When it is just cold enough to feel sleepy 😴

I got bored and started playing with old brush downloads 😅

quick,

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

I made some silly things this time. 👀 Currently trying to time myself with how fast I actually make things. Turns out a pack of 6 emotes is about 1hr 30min. vgen.co/LibraGhost/p...

Currently the big local projects are on hold for the Holidays and random weather chaos. So now it is time to pivot and work on the digital stuff that I have been neglecting 😅

Happy Halloween 🎃

Ironically being creative with my Halloween decorations made me too busy to finish my Halloween to-do list lol 😆

The local game shop put on a little 2hr trunk or treat and everyone turned it into a little fair and the city added it to the recommended Halloween route. 🎃 My house doesn't get trick or treaters so this was a lot of fun. Made the slime decor from scratch and handed out sticky hands.

Just the begining... #horror #horrorart #halloween #art #drawtober #mangapanel #originalart

Once they realized that I was home for the day they screamed till I went outside with them. So now I gotta sit here till they wanna go back inside 😅😂

I have discovered one of the worst places to be bit by a mosquito as an artist... in between the first and second pinky knuckle on the dominate hand. 🙃 It will bump and rub everything.

That moment when you get home from work from working on art to go home and work on more art 😁

Do you ever get excited by the simple mundane things in your art? Like you just painted the best stick ever or the fabric you drew flows just right? 👀

Forever covered in Painter's Tape and Glitter.

Fantasy art is always interesting. Some days you are painting a rock and some days you are painting a Roc.

"Measure 12", no 12", no, why is it different?!?" Context: the large canvas I am working with is uneven, but at a subtle level unnoticeable to the eye 👁️ I wanna scream 🤣

Now that it's been a couple days, I can finally look back and figure out what I learned from doing my first mural. 1. Make sure the full underpainting is there or you will have to go back and do it again 2. The color with 100 variants will need that color the most despite you seeing it the least

The Mural is ✨ done ✨ 😁 #dnd #dragon #traditionalart #illustration #art
