#dragon day part 2 and so #Dnd black dragon nb2 : The Adult! I had a lot of fun with the framing, movement and kinda weirdness of the dragon in this one.

I'd like to dedicate this post to everyone who said there was no point in fighting this. And to point out most of the value in AI companies is derived from their past scraping and in a just world, we'd be looking at billions in compensation.

Worked on this new landscape painting all day. Hadn’t done one in a while. Will finish it up tomorrow. 18x24” acrylic on canvas.

They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood. But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time! Incredible“progress” 💀

Things are VERY bad financially, rent is due today and I'm still working on late commissions since my laptop died in January.

Maybe growing up with those *and* photorealistic high end AAA everywhere, easy to access, plays a role. You probably won't crave realitic stuff as much if you haven't been restricted to 3-polygon-per-character for years. In any case good news for us artists. More art direction, less rEaLIsms!

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work! Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

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...)

It's my birthdayyy today so I'm going to ask for a cheeky lil artshare if you like my work since I'm still pretty new to the bluesky art community c: Hii I'm Marby, I'm from the UK and living in the US. I like world building and fantasy art, I'm also working on a personal game project for fun 🖤

I keep seeing authors getting duped by AI users pretending to be artists (and then sadly realising it when everyone calls their book AI slop). These grifters are everywhere and I don't have a solution, but I have a few pointers:

Something new to share - at last! A bit unusual for me but so much fun, a poster for a local Carnaval! The picture was planned with the title in mind so I'll show it that way, but I can share a no-text version later on as well :)

AI is a tool of fascism. Full stop. It was created for the specific purpose of stealing the work of others, demoralizing artists, and eliminating middle class jobs to push creators out of art and into the lowest paying work. When you endorse AI slop, that’s what you’re endorsing.

New stuff to share soon, here's a preview! Brace yourselves, it's gonna be **very colorful** for once ;)

Post a Mage! Sorry I haven't had a lot of stuff to post recently, everything is wip or under nda, but at least this one is the perfect excuse to repost ;)

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

oh COME ON... that's infuriatingly sad. HOW is he of all people not instantly disgusted by the rank smell of technoslop?

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Artists, show us your red art 🩸

Happy holidays season folks !

Happy holidays season folks !

100% agree. I also believe that the personality and uniqueness of your art starts right here : pictures you select, obscure details or subjects you specificaly obsess over, ugly sketches... All as significant/impactful as can be. Letting an algorithm explore the world for you is artistic suicide.

Cette année, c'est très compliqué pour mon shop... Et c'est la première fois depuis 5 ans. Je comprends évidemment la crise et l'inflation mais si vous voulez (vous) offrir un cadeau original, dino et de vulgarisation scientifique cette année, pensez à mon shop ❤️ clemencedupont.com/shop

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

Also : prints available of this one ! :) www.inprnt.com/gallery/mart...

The spam continues, I hope it's not too anoying, turns out I had a lot to add as available prints ;) Would you maybe be interested in some more dragon?

This was a more classic, action-y one, for #DnD as well. www.inprnt.com/gallery/mart...

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳 I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️ #art #illustration
