"Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24" lol. LOL. LMAO. LMFAO. OMGWTFBBQ.

Even individually, this is so important. I don’t want to debate if “posting is praxis”—but speaking out, even posting, matters more than we think. It reminds each other we’re not alone and helps keep us from the black hole of self-censorship that’s so much harder to escape.

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 🖤🔮

Got a bit more crunchy with textures and shapes. :)

every horrible person who does this wants to "flood the zone" and subject us all to hot garbage bc they're hoping people won't make the effort to wade through their bullshit to get to actual good things made by humans so pleaseeeee support creators *now*

Childlike wonder. #magpiesketches #creaturedesign

#webcomicday. (Not sure if this counts as a webcomic in the traditional sense, but i did post it to tumblr for others to see, and I’m still pretty proud of it.) :) www.tumblr.com/turquoisemag...

show us your favourite character designs you've made 💫 Doing the line up of the Graeco-Roman gods was a good way for me to have some fun with designing characters mainly on their concepts and modernisation on their domains. It started with Artemis, and I kept going from there. #characterdesign

Bitterblossom - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper Something about this has September vibes. What do you think? 💜prints💜

Design Commission for SolarGriffin! 🗡️

It's my birthday! 🍰 May I ask for art shares on this fine day 💜✨ As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know! #art | #hades | #baldursgate3 | #dragonage

QRP with something watery. 💧

Yeah yeah, deer tiefling, goat tiefling, antelope tiefling - let’s get wild! Give me a muntjac tiefling! Give me someone with skin/hair up 70% of the horns! And fangs! And those weird glands that turn their bottom eyelids or nostrils inside out! Give me the truly infernal tieflings! #dnd #tiefling

Plain Clothes Clown. (My brother does music (@filthylaugh << check ‘im out on Spotify), and the album name gave me an idea to knock me out of this art block.) :) #magpiesketches #characterdesign

Pumpkin! My first attempt of lino cutting!! :D #magpiesketches #linocutprint #pumpkinseason🎃

Our new project is live. A group of us former Polygon folks have come together to build something new: Rogue. We're a worker-owned, reader supported gaming site. You can read all about our goals and ideas on our (gorgeous) website. Please check us out and share us with your friends!

Been mulling about what to do with the results of my compulsive urge to keep train tickets (I’ve got ones as far back as 2018). I’ve decided to make them into small bookmarks by making linocut prints for them. No idea if it’ll work - never linocut before - but I may as well give it a go.. :)

If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.

Gear up. #PoseRef

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

If you are struggling to find the desire to draw sit in front of you current piece for 15-30 minutes and just look at it. I swear I always end up picking up my pen and diving in. Struggling to start? Go out there and consume art that you’ve liked or saved. Inspiration always seems to hit

A deep-sea exploration horror story, where instead of going deeper and finding a horror, they find nothing, but coming back up, they find the surface of the water is on fire, as a cataclysm destroys everything above sea level…

We are Huntr/x, voices strong #art #kpdh Thought i’d put the girls all together

Magpie - Watercolour on paper. The scan and touch up, this painting gets the proper treatment! Available as a print at www.inprnt.com/gallery/fion... to whatever places inprnt ships to (not just the UK :P)

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.

The Magpie Nest. (In a similar world where my OC Tarragon lives, there are other characters making their chaotic way through the world.) :) #magpiesketches #ocs #characterdesign #dnd

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped. You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

Dear fellow EU residents, PLEASE go to the website and use it to write to your country's representatives to find the AI surveillance act! Repost and share with your friends and relatives! Act up!

Having fun with trying different faces for Bernice’s species. I wanted to combine goblins and bats to the design, give them some variety. #magpiesketches #characterdesign

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

Went to a Ren faire last weekend. A lot of mead consumed and money blown on trinkets and treasures. :)

Made a call to Visa today in which the rep read the statement from the first screenshot below to me word for word and then hung up on me. Visit this website for numbers and call scripts to reach Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Stripe stop-paypros.neocities.org

Twitter is now 75% bot activity. The dead internet theory aint a theory anymore.

Honestly that the whole American neo-classical aesthetic was based on a misapprehension by looking at the faded of ruins of a fallen empire was maybe more on the nose than anybody could make up

A lot of things seem outside of our control right now, but the wikipedia article on firehosing has a good (but short) section on practical countermeasures to combat the flooding of disinformation.

Aspfall Park. (I literally woke up this morning with a horror story concept; I could even imagine it as a low-poly analog horror video game. I had to draw it.) #magpiesketches #characterdesign

The Smoke and Mirrors. (I missed the Fantasy Forest festival this year, but to commemorate the time of year, I drew our little trio (me, @madichuu & @rosewaterfish ) from last year as a dnd party.) :) #magpiesketches #dnd #fantasyforest #renfaire
