Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Art Fight 2025 [Revenge] Minnow for ‪@cxrdant.bsky.social‬ Very cool giant owl character! #artfight2025 #teamfossil #digitalart #owl

🧵2/2 Forte’s also blocking people who want them to sell game IPs they cancelled and aren’t using. They mentioned in the link below that they’re currently “not looking for new partners or funding on paused projects”. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/wha...

Art Fight 2025 [Revenge] Marshmallow for @doomweaselart.bsky.social He's a very cute puppy! #artfight2025 #teamfossil #digitalart

Art Fight 2025 [Attack] Jenni for Factual-Fantasy! She was a lot of fun to draw, very cute character!

#Artfight attack no.3 for @kcdragons.bsky.social 🎨 ⚔️ I don't draw dragons enough and I thought that Slutch the bog dragon looked cool so here he is! This piece is a bit more experimental than I planned, I think it turned out ok though! #art #artfight2025 #teamcrystals #darkart #dragon #horrorart

As an aside- as part of the pre-production phase of the game I gave a presentation about design, the limits of "art style", and what makes for a strong original IP- just a few slides below! Nothing I love more than being part of working together to create something new

Today's a melancholy anniversary- 1 year ago today, the devs on Project Dragon (aka Everhaven) were let go and the project canned. Going to celebrate by waking this thread back up and posting more from the concept art archives, click thru to catch up 💜

Been making some cosmetic mods for #REPO Check them out here: thunderstore.io/c/repo/p/KCD...

Right-wing freaks use the word 'Woke' instead of the classic Nazi 'Degenerate' to describe good things for two reasons; its easier to spell, and it allowed them to steal something from black people.

A few years ago, there was a national panic about Antifa, created of course by the right. It was "Panic of the Month" for a while. As I said then, I will say now: I am Antifa. it means *Antifascist.* If you are not Antifa, what is wrong with you?

ARTISTS! I'm sharing my contract template with simplified language and easy to fill in sections This will be most helpful for smaller clients bc corps have their own contracts But providing the contract will help protect you from giving away rights to your art! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So like, artists, this is super helpful. You buy it once and then you can just use it forever. Also IT INCLUDES A PART ABOUT AI USAGE AND AI TRAINING which you *definitely* want to protect yourself against. I can't scream it loud enough – YOU WANT THIS TEMPLATE. #Art #ArtResources #Artist

This is terrifying. This could be me. This person was born here, brown, was nearly deported. “Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. It's not required for citizenship. It’s not even required to vote.”

Part 1 on neighbors being disappeared by the US government.

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will *never* have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will *you*

Nice nice nice

For the sake of clarity; sexism, racism, fascism, nationalism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism, apartheid, pro-birth, military power, and all adjacent right-wing ideologies are a form of weakness I do not tolerate. If you're a conservative, then block me and move on. You don't belong here.

Generative 3D models aren't seen as often as generative 2D art, so here's a thread on how to spot them.

First personal 3D project: Monster Hunter Coasters! Once this is painted I'll be filling it with a clear UV resin so it has a flat surface (and also to protect the paint) Rathalos first obviously
