Concept I’d like to flesh out more one day - my oc Lili

Sean Astin is an amazing person and I’m happy he is president of SAG now

exclusion and pin light are my secret weapons. Make a copy of everything flattened, use posterize on it, set the blending mode to pin light and thank me later

Darkness my old friend

Galadriel, Mightiest Elf remaining in Middle-earth, Lady of Lórien

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

The new Shadow Lord Star Wars show looks like it’s gonna be goood

Really good watch youtu.be/YN6BEUA4jNU?...

Anyone that tries to weaponize artists calling out the greatest art heist of all time a “witch hunt” is morally wrong.

I drew this like 11 years ago, when I was just a teen, I still really like it and wanna redraw this.

I saw a post saying “I’d like to hire an artist for my cover, bc of the AI backlash. I don’t want to hire an artist that is openly against AI however”. Here is the thing: they would use AI if not for the backlash. They are weaponizing artists speaking out against AI as a bad thing. 1/2

Halvi - one of my OC I commonly draw, and moving forward I'm mainly going to dedicate a lot of my art to my OC's I created growing up and trying to bring that story to live.

Who would have thought marketing to men AND women with K Pop Demon Hunters would break records. If you want money market to women too

PSA- Artists still hanging on, it’s gonna be okay. I love this community, there are still several of us not willing to give up. Keep hanging on When you can’t hang on,, hang ON Often I feel like it’s good to be reminded that we are all in this together I do have a discord if you want to join

let's just tell them outright that we do not support generative AI and how it impacts very negatively on the environment, the people and it fundamentally supports the slavery.

No, you don’t Kal & Syl

There is blood on my hands Kal & Syl

Facing My Daemons I hate AI. Nearly 3 years ago when AI came out, I was scheduled to do a book cover for a major author, and they canceled with me and I checked their page and they had AI that they were using prompted in my style. I broke down in a parking lot in tears.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

🧵🪡 For several years I fought with su*cidal ideation, this is the sinking depression visualized. I think about the sisters I’ve lost and really struggled with survivors guilt.

The temptation to start putting an AI training agreement in the metadata of images I upload where it says "by using my work to train AI you agree to pay me $1k+ $100 per prompt, per work used"

Often the scares left from an abusive childhood are still visible and need healing. There is so much on mental health, but not a lot on how physically being abused as a child also ruins you mentally. Physical abuse is not just physical abuse, it comes with severe mental health issues as an adult

Be okay

Just want to boost this petition one more time. These things actually help organizers gain support in the gov. Please sign and share! chng.it/c4JZGQgJmw

diana prince, you own my heart

This is what I talked about.

I painted lotus leaves. medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

“The world already is on f*cking fire” This piece I drew was meant to be a commentary on the world already is a living hell for a lot of children & adults that lived through abuse. Her jaw has a bandage on it that represents my own jaw. I’m scheduled to have a bilateral jaw replacement surgery soon

Hobo Mage (finally done) - a self identifying picture lol (I was homeless as a child for several years)

Dear #portfolioday we meet again. My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards. Here's some of my work!

Hi! #PortfolioDay 🌿 I'm Miryea, I enjoy making creatures and lots of dragons! If you are looking for someone to help you bring more beasts to life contact me at [email protected] I'm always open to work with new people :D

Hey #portfolioday it’s me, ur artist that hasn’t drawn a personal picture in 89 years. So I’m just going to post this self portrait of a hobo

shut up

"We used AI for placeholder art" increasingly feels like such a cop-out man. Placeholder art just needs to fill a space. It is meant to be loudly temporary. It should be so obviously Not Meant For Release that it can't be missed.

Link to call & what to say in next post 1/

Prompting something to make you feel like a victim is crazy maga shit

Fucking finally it is there in plain writing. It often felt like this basic fact was overlooked in the debate. Before we even talk about what is "transformative" or not, or whether AI slop could compete with human works, the fact is that it's infringement to collect all these works for training.

"What happened to the children?"

Trying to live with past abuse can make you feel bound to that past, especially when the scars are visible. #traffickingsupport #supportsurvivors

Our feature artist/reference for today is this WONDERFUL page on how to draw WINGS by the talented @jenndeut! I love a model sheet like this, which actually explains WHAT the different wing types DO, not just HOW they LOOK! So useful! #gamedev #animationdev #conceptart #manga

Finally it’s relevant

ppl saying that authors and artists are on a witch hunt.. like? girl, you are not a witch, you aint that cool, you a little troll thief.
