Sarah looks so cool! Thank you 😊 Let's see if she's going to wear cat ears in the RP XDD

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is on PAINTING ENVIRONMENTS by the talented @takumerhomma! Such great thoughts here! #howtodraw #drawingtutorial #conceptart #gamedev #animationdev #gameart #tutorial #indiegame #comicart #characterdesign #storyboard #gamedevelopment

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Everyone look at my girl! She's so cute! 🥰

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

If you are deceived by a sponsorship or company about them using AI, this is exactly how you handle it. You vocally make your stance known and withdraw support, even if it costs you a contract. Brava to Ironmouse for this action. I hope others do the same.

Finally finished this trailer for my webcomics new season! Please go check it out, took me a long time to make 💙 Light within Shadow returns June 4th! Read for free on inkverse, namicomi and webtoon canvas! #animation #webcomic #ocart #trailer youtu.be/-qnrXgOKik0?...

Among my whump friends: Making my OCs suffer Among everyone else: Probably magical girls and/or long hair

I want the average webcomic reader to recognize webtoon is merely one oversanitized commercial platform and not the totality of webcomics, and be willing to dig through links pages to find gold.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

So, just putting this out here that commissions are open, and I could really do with a little extra money right now, so I can save for something. A reminder - DO NOT CONTACT ME HERE, I WILL NOT SEE IT. Please contact me by email or Discord.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

So glad this story is gaining traction & wanted to highlight that @andrewdeck.bsky.social at @niemanlab.org broke the news that NYT/Guardian/USA Today were blocking IA earlier this year. Encourage all to read: www.niemanlab.org/2026/01/news...

My MCs haven't interacted much with the main antagonist and they are too busy with other stuff to care much. I personally love writing my main antagonist cause they are so different personality-wise from the rest of my characters.

Have been part of this since the early beginnings and it has been a stable community that is still active. The mods also make sure there's interaction on every post. Also there are preparations to leave Discord in case they stick to their age verification. Which I appreciate!

Man it sure would be a pity if people flooded J.K. Rowling's hate fund with fake applications, I hope no one does that. jkrwf.org/check-eligib...

Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy www.congress.gov/members/find...

LLMs are not a substitute for experience and domain expertise. It can't easily automate the hard parts of software engineering, which include architecting robust and scalable systems, collaborating with other people, and coming up with impactful ideas.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

I guess it's time to finally leave #DeviantArt. To make this announcement at the exact time #Sora finally f**king croaks, proving AI-generated video is yet another billionaire tech CEO brain fart just proves DA management's disgusting tone-deafness. And they're using #Grok as one of their models! 😡

I've seen the Ko-Fi thing go around too and I'm disappointed as well. But before we all start a boycott and hurt artists like me who use the platform, let's send Ko-Fi tickets through their website telling them why allowing AI is not okay. We can change this if we do it right. 👍

I recommend anyone finding out about this now send tickets directly to support about it, as feedback. Please don't flood the Discord and create more work for the Mods. They are just volunteers trying to make creative connections and help other creatives. help.ko-fi.com/hc/en-us/req...

I haven't seen many posts talking about the new Indian Transgender Bill here. Like at all! I had to actively search for it to find any posts talking about it here. It's so unfortunate, because if a bill which left the decision of whether you're Trans or not to a Govt Body was introduced in US then

I've deleted Earthshine on Globalcomix. I feel uncomfortable uploading on a site that is actively pursuing AI tools and lenient towards AI usage, and did not address their previous AI use with other creators' works for promotions back in October.

Hey all, so I've been thinking about it for a good while If you enjoy reading my story, I'd recommend shifting away from Globalcomix. In a week, I'll be removing myself from Global Comix entirely.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

Hi guys, im so sorry but I need...a lot of help this time. Due to my IIH ive become near partial blind & need new glasses, I cant afford them on my own. I also still need to pay bills. As well start saving for inevitable surgery later this year. Im sorry to constantly ask for help.

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this page of thoughts on TWISTING THE HEAD, by the talented @miyuliart! Having the side-by-side comparisons on these is sooooo useful :) #characterdesign #gamedev #anime #comicart #animationdev #drawing #ART #illustration

My autoimmune disease is progressive and terminal; it will make me blind, paralyze me completely, end my life. I have to constantly battle back against it, and I've been doing the bare minimum for years because of cost. I need more, and I need help. Every single cent helps. ko-fi.com/cknightwrites

Lyn reconciled me with my "I hate pink" phase 🩷

Tyree is about a mute son of the Moon that wasn't supposed to exist. He strikes a deal to return Death's sword to her temple in hope of winning her favor and being turned human. It is inspired by pre-hispanic mesoamerica & deals w/ themes of grief, war, trauma, and discovering yourself. #tyreecomic

Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! 🐊📖

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.
