Summon the Kraken. Oil on canvas One of those commissions where the stars aligned perfectly. The client wanted a picture of the Magic: The Gathering character, Kiora, summoning Arixmethes, a gigantic living island. It turned out to be one of my favorite pieces in my body of work to date.

I had an email exchange with a guy yesterday who insisted I was making a mistake not outsourcing my writing to an LLM. He said, "It knows more than you do." He couldn't understand that this was impossible because the work of writing is figuring out what "I" think.

Get rotated, idiot!

Mechaphillia is crazy. I str8 up want to have concept kids with this thing.

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Fundamentally just do not respect anyone who's willing to outsource their thinking, especially not when it's to be a scab, using what amounts to pay to win software.

Any future only the wealthy can afford is actually the past.

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

I asked my own Rus guys if this was true. They unanimously confirmed that when a man named “Pavel Durov” (telegram) was arrested, all social media got especially terrible.

If I was wealthy, I would str8 gift this game to everyone on my watcher list right now. It’s a Telltale style game, meets Invincible, meets Hi-Fi Rush. Dispatch is a hilariously written take on one man’s journey to rehabilitate a group of super villains, and protect downtown Los Angeles from chaos.

This is how I feel about society atm. We treat our machines nearly the same as we treat ourselves. Its why I always tell people, that If i had the choice to start the Calamity tomorrow, I say FUCK NO every time. I dont want an innocent machine to be conscious of obsolescence, thats our curse to bear

I hope my boss doesn’t think I am messing with him on purpose in regards to the time clock. I have nothing but trouble with the time clock since I was forced to use it less than a year ago. He keeps correcting my miss punches, and I’m constantly gaslit wondering if i punched the clock or not.

We stopped using Letters to communicate because we became accustomed to letters = solicitation so we moved to phones but then we stopped calling to communicate because calls = solicitation so we moved to the Internet to communicate but

Cowboy Bebop (1998): The Bebop, art by Kimitoshi Yamane

Growing up, An artist Friend of mine told me they never told anyone they were a girl when they signed their works. Because art made by women in France wasn’t taken as seriously. It was thought of as “frivolous”. After that, I stopped telling anyone I was a girl too “just in case” early internet ect.

Its crazy how the moment you go from a 1099 job to a w2 job, staff stop being grateful that you showed up, and feel like its safe to start complaining about you behind your back. ((Perhaps it’s why they can’t keep any of the nurses they hire for longer than a year eh?))

fucking nerd. By @bassclarinetfan.bsky.social

I was reading about the hygienic habits of medieval animal people and I found this. It seems they took baths more often than we think and usually in groups. It was a social moment. And look, they seemed to care about their fur and wanted it free of parasites 🪲🚫

Sharing is caring

High key, peeps giving me their discord name without the 0000 digit code got me lazy enough to just not bother asking for the rest of it at all. More or less, I just don’t like dealing with discord as a barely computer literate old lady.

I participated in January's Zine but the quality was much higher then I anticipated. Thank you Yiming for letting me participate even if it was like herding a cat.

Hey guys, thanks for your interest, your PMs your website notes ect. Apologies for not being prompt in my responses. But I am still not currently taking commissions, trades, or requests from anyone I don’t know. If I become available, I promise to announce it from the roof tops when It happens.

Heads up for any artists on here who take part in artshare threads: I saw one just now where the person had the usual "No AI/NFT" stipulation in the post. Only thing is, their entire account was nothing but genAI images. Sadly, it worked, and they got a few artists taking part.

PICTURE EDIT UPDATE* NEW VERSION(i moved Moressy's mouth back a little bit more to be more uniform with the other panels i drew.

my friends keep elbowing me to publish my comic. I have well over 250 pages of stuff I could easily send out the door, but if it’s my money on the line, I want it to be definitive, substantial. My book should hit the coffee table with the weight of a judge’s gavel. (THUNK!)

So this is a largely under served part of mecha, because mecha has been treated historically as individualist amplification. I think the tandem (front and back seat) like the F-14 Tomcat, or some tanks is a better model for mecha storytelling, and sadly one we don't see often enough.

Though I will say, the individualist/bodily metaphor tends to be pushed more than the vehicular metaphor because when the mecha is treated as vehicle its completely interchangable and meaningless.

Neo... What if I told you... You can kiss the robot

I tried that new Hytale early access game yesterday. I think I was expecting something more: Core-Keeper combat, or a little bit more terraria boss danger ect. Because this game is just minecraft 2. (Great if you have never played Minecraft, but underwhelming if you have 1100 hours in minecraft 1)

Bed warmer FINAL wip*

I should set Aside time to practice certain aspects of Anatomy (Mainly Hip to knee ratio/articulation, leg perspective) as every time I draw a human, this part feels more like Rote Memorization from 20 years ago rather than true understanding.
