I have this one hung up in my station at work. It has distracted many a client while they've been suffering in my chair xD But I drew this YEARS ago and I like to think my digital art has improved exponentially since then, so it's one I would like to redraw one day~ #Cloudstrife #Sephiroth

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.

hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work it does matter

The only acceptable amount of genAI usage is zero, IMO.

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

Money is crazy tight atm— support would be super appreciated! Sharing the original post helps too! I’ve been out of steady work because of medical issues, which are being poorly handled by my country’s whack ass healthcare system.

For me it was the Nintendo GameCube. That was the console that made me into the gamer I am now xD

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

I'm sure this is a positive in your collection actually! (I know what you mean, I'm just being silly. This is a beautiful shot from whomever took it)

Mood, by noonsillustrations on IG.

The fact that my tumblr keeps opening to one of @chucktingle.bsky.social's books is probably a sign telling me to buy it lmaoooo

I mean, let's break it down: AI doesn't produce useful assets. It doesn't produce useful code or writing. At best, you need humans to manage and edit the product to the point where it becomes mediocre (and that's generous). If mediocre is what you're aiming for... all good, I guess?

The new lawsuits against OpenAI are tragic and deeply troubling. One of the plaintiffs, Kate Fox, is suing following the death of her husband, Joe Ceccanti. Ceccanti experienced at least two acute crises following extensive ChatGPT use. He did not survive the second: futurism.com/artificial-i...

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Is rickrolling on Halloween a trick or a treat?

If you haven't played the Loathing games (especially Shadows Over Loathing) you really should! Peak humour and lots of fun details in the backgrounds.

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

Quote your art with fire on 🔥

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

So I'm in a Cyberpunk Red TTRPG and I drew my character Astrid Moon, better known on the streets of Night City as Starlight. She's a netrunner but she's not afraid to get up close and personal with her pistol. #myart #cyberpunk #cyberpunkred #cyberpunkttrpg

Still hella proud of this one tbh

Censoring, and especially making noncon/underage art illegal also literally endangers victims. When antis report artwork, where no real person is experiencing trauma, it clogs moderation teams. NCMEC and other orgs don’t care about art. It doesn’t identify real kids. It doesn’t stop predators.

No more cautionary tales in comics. No more GoT-style relationships that lead to discussions around ethics and consent. No more survivor-made media about their experiences. Censorship silences seeing *bad* relationships in media and debating, learning from, or relating to them in a healthy way too!

Stop exploiting survivors’ language to make points about morality. It’s beyond unethical to use us like that. Also, censorship means no media with child abuse or trafficking narratives can be created and that’s dangerous! People forget this ban doesn’t just impact erotic art. It’s everything!

If we call art, no matter how gross, CSAM, then it removes power from actual survivor-victims. That is *our* term. That is what we went through. Uncomfortable art, no matter the intent is *not* the same. No one was traumatized to make that image. It’s like how “triggered” was taken away from PTSD.

But what about drawing “child porn”? Personally, ick. But censorship? Still no. It’s fiction. And calling it “child porn” does a disservice to every survivor. First of all, that’s a terrible term. It’s CSAM. But second, CSAM involves *actual* children. (Con’t)

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Also… this could be us 😏 Jk….. unless? 🥺

I like immigrants. I like meeting new people who can bring new cool shit to my life. I like exploring languages. I like learning about different cultures. I like exploring interesting foods. So many fun drinks, dances, clothes, tools, myths, techniques and ideas. Humanity should be diverse.
