I can't stress enough how much I do not want to be on the present internet Everytime I post here you have to imagine me smiling with that hollowness in the eyes of a dead fish

Just a reminder: The Guardian entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI a little while back, so any time you see an article like this from them, you can immediately dismiss it as not credible journalism but just Sam Altman getting his money’s worth.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

annual reminder #pride

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Bumping this again because omfg this site is so unbelievably hostile to the people that made it even RELEVANT in the first place

Shrimp is here

Yo @bsky.app this new nsfw filter is horrible. It hides whole accounts, I have to click through a censor bar to see what a friend thought of a movie because a year ago they drew a butt? We already had content filters, this just makes the site unusable and deters a chunk of your audience from posting

This new Bluesky label leaves users who only want to see SFW posts from someone who may post tagged content on occasion with no way to see their posts other than seeing all their posts including labeled content To put it simply, users hit with this content warning are NERF'd. It's all or nothing

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

There's a dog loose in the woods #watershipdown #art

At any gathering of artists these days someone is bound to say something to the effect of “I’m about ready to start drawing *porn* and raking in the big bucks!” And I promise you it doesn’t work like that. It’s just as much of a hustle and grind as any other subject matter.

trying a new brush changed my life and gave me the art style & flow i love. always try new brushes if u feel stuck

have you ever considered that drawing with a new and different brush may cure your depression and fix everything?

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

I hate how theres surveillance everywhere. Yes its because I want to do bad things and get away with it but thats none of your business

hey mutuals, sorry to tell you the "artist" CupOfUwU is proudly generating a good chunk of their media and is adamant about their use of AI they even say they don't commission cause they can draw, but they dont draw cause they can generate perfect Example of AI stealing money directly from artists

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

the romanticism of the starving artist is invoked not by artists but by people who aren't. it's misery/inspiration porn functioning as propaganda for people to feel like it's a worthwhile sacrifice for artists to die in misery instead of horrific, because they can take the art for themselves.

They're going after horror, we said this would happen

This ceasefire doesn’t cancel out the fact that Donald Trump threatened a genocide of 93 million people in Iran. Republicans need to abandon their blind loyalty to the President and work with us to hold him accountable – whether it’s through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

trynna escape from creative burnout so soundwave redesign it is #transformers #soundwave #maccadam #art

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers, in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt" This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
