I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

we are all tired

Have a few photos too! :) Again, no idea why the felt under the base is showing so bright on the photos when it's a fully dull black colour IRL that is totally unnoticeable. 3D sculpt in Blender, printed with plant based resin, primed and painted with acrylics #大神 #okami #dog #3dprint #kaiken

People are good. People are so very good, actually. I am crying in my studio and feel a kinship with people who are the furthest away person could possibly be, flying around the moon right now. You gotta remember that people are good, you gotta remember.

If most artists used it then they wouldn't be scared to admit it. The only reason they're scared is because the artist community will call them out and ostracize them. That puts most on the side against genai, rightfully. Anyone who claims otherwise is just flat out lying to try to normalize it.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

Big reveal time!!! Sealed Hearts finally got a COVER!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Commission for eastsummerr on Toyhouse

I reached my goal!! 💕💞💞 Gah, I am so happy and so relieved and so very very grateful 🙏 An absolutely massive thank you to everyone who helped by sharing my posts and everyone who ordered commissions - it means the world to me ❤️ Repair shop, here I come 🤩✨✨

Over halfway there! Aaaaaaaahhhh! Thank you so SO much! ♥ Just €70 to go! 🥹

I know money is tight for everyone right now, but.. I crashed with my bicycle and I'm too utterly broke to be able to afford the repairs. They still need to get done though, so if you'd like to check out my Ko-fi shop and get some art, now's the time 🙏 Any and all support would help immensely ♥

Same sentiment imo as “don’t worry about AI, I think people will always make art ❤️” like cool but also I have spent twenty years building a career actually and I have bills

There’s just nothing to say, to people who clearly think shit like this is progress

some wolfwalkers fanart!

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.

I get very shy when faced with responding to positive comments, so i drew this to show how they make me feel every time whether I respond or not :))

Not sure what compelled me to draw this suddenly but here’s a style guide to how I draw TLK style pawhands! Mostly just to show the shapes I envision when I draw them!

"Golden Find" - doodle for Procyon featuring their raccoon doing what raccoons do best - finding stuff that nobody expects them to find ^v^// #art #feral #raccoon

Sorry I really find it impossible to get the right colours on this phone I had to get around Christmas ;_; Hope you can see the details a bit better than on the video? The harness is not as blue as seen here, it's more grey with a slight blue tint... #barkour #dog #thunder #3dprint #resin #blender

I really don’t know if I’ll ever get good at photographing models, buut Zira is more or less finished!! My mission to make all the character models I always wanted but never had goes on 😆

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Last year I decided to put my health first and take an extended break from paid illustration. I found I had an inexplicable compulsion to document all the birds I can see from my house in the most time consuming way possible. Some predators:

*Exactly* my thoughts when I first saw these clips XD

Coyote and Fox "Cave Painting"

A commission for AbsoluteAmoeba on FA, who wanted to see his character Lucas do the log walk with Timon & Pumbaa 😄 🎶 This was a huge project. Obviously based entirely on a screenshot from the film, but the whole piece is made by me from scratch. Learned a lot 😤 But phew!

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Look at this beautiful beautiful thing!

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

I am having a loud mind

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Finally finished the megaloceros antler and cave art, was an exhaustingly big project but im pleased and happy to be finished #art #paleoart

yay

rocky beaches my beloved🧡 Rendering the cliff was fun. No references I could rely on, so I mostly winged it. But my favorite part might be the green waves. It gives the piece an important balance to the earthy tones.

If I read a book and loved it and then found out it was AI, then I wouldn't love it anymore. This doesn't mean I'm just pretending not to like things because I hate AI; it means that art is a transmission of human viewpoint and experience and a story with no author is an empty husk.

Who will I be?
