"We're not using it for the final product just for reference gathering thumbnailing and concept art !" Oh okay so literally my job.

i made a Lancer RPG art my take on the Blackbeard, equipped with giant chainsaw! #lancerrpg #art #mech #ttrpg

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

“You must have been tired,” said Toad. “I was tired,” said Frog, “and it started to rain.”

I think I'm gonna stream bird watching in Red Dead. I wanna unearth my PC and get my setup figured out this week

I just get so emotional over AO3 comments. like, it doesn't even need to be a lot just a couple of words and it brightens my whole day qoq

all i'm saying is that there were better options

Finally starts researching spanish tutors I wanna be more than limitedly-conversational lmao

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

TFW all the depressing shit that's happened finally manifests and makes you, surprise surprise, depressed as shit

i stand by this statement every year

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

the funniest incentive to leave kudos or a comment 😂

Agora que a CCXP passou, voltamos a programação normal! O tema do meu clube de assinaturas de dezembro é selos/correio <3 Essa é a primeira cartela do kit, que você pode garantir apoiando até dia 31. Ela tem efeito metalico! www.catarse.me/nyatche #brart #kawaiiart #stickershop

I'm sure no one remembers this shitpost but me, but I need y'all to know I actually did this, every time I didn't have a fic title picked out ahead of time. (There are, incidentally, more versions and editions of this label than you could ever imagine.)

this is the guy who wants an AI Dead Nan

I've written 2.9% of the jovier fics on AO3 and I intend to increase that percentage just you wait

Toad was in bed, taking a nap.

Turn on the TV. Doesn’t matter what channel.

when i say i'm "going to bed", i really mean i am going to fantasize about my OCs kissing until sleep eventually stops me

It's really an "anyone but Spotify" situation. Looking back on 2025, we can see everyone whose paid me royalties this year & the rates thereof (Tidal wins, but Amazon, Youtube & Apple aren't bad,) and looking back on my history with Spotify by year, we see exactly when their payout rules changed:

Hang in there, struggling artists

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

the thing about online queer discourse is unless you dig into things it's hard to tell if someone is speaking from a place of nuance and decades of lived experience or whether you're reading the untested absolutes of the most 15-year-old alive

"Superhero comics are political art. But why don't superheroes end wars, slavery, etc...? Because ultimately superhero comics' political stance is capitalist and the creators of superhero comics primary objective is to sell more comics, not express a radical imagination." - Ronald Wimberly for LAAB

Ornithocheirus simus. A new portrait of this early Cretaceous pterosaur. #SciArt

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar

Everyone shut up Tobi has something to say.

Home. Trip was long. Drove through horrible weather conditions. Got incredibly emotional at the funeral when I realized how much I saw myself in my grandma. First time I ever saw dad cry.

obsessed with this image of the animal control guy and the snake he's caught

For how famous the original Walking with Dinosaurs made it, Ornithocheirus is a very messy genus, with over 40 species assigned to it historically. Nowadays, only one species of Ornithocheirus remains, known from the UK and the Kem Kem (maybe!). Size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

Me, crying, holding up 40k of fic Could a depressed person make this

I had a dream that I didn't actually graduate college and that half of my stuff was in a rented apartment somewhere around campus and I had to figure out how to get down there and get all my stuff and tell my job that I didn't have the qualifications to be working there I graduated a decade ago
