AI companies getting female celebrities to endorse AI as a thing ladies don't want to "miss out on" is basically the same playbook as 20th century tobacco companies framing smoking as a feminist act.

All right! Fresh off the printer, laminator and cricut (yes, our stickers are home made!), I think these are ready to stock!

Honestly it always tickles me when somebody knows me as like... an illustrator or a mini painter and then they hear my voice or otherwise find out that I've been Kanaya in Let's Read Homestuck for like over fifteen years and they're like "WHAT."

Yeah, Let's Read Homestuck is still a thing 😎

We continue! New stickers progressing nicely!

My favourite part of my job is when, after all the admin and packing orders and manufacturing items and stocking is done, I get to just sit at my desk and draw fun sticker designs based on things I like. Expedition 33 was an obvious one now I've completed it 😄

Fulfilling a childhood dream today of owning a Warhammer dragon!

We had a really good time at TAGS last year. The people were super-friendly, and there were so many high quality indie comics and TTRPGs. Sales very solid for size of event too. I'd recommend it!

So... most big launch boxes, I buy for just the Space Marines ir Stormcast but... looks like 11th edition is going to be an exception. This Ork mini is just... mwah! Chef's kiss! Not too cluttered, lovely composition, and a tiny squig as the cherry on top!

It's already that time of year again!? Honestly, I didn't think this was a super fun year for Hearthstone, but I did get some pretty good (bad) pun deck names out of it. Let's go, year of the Scarab! Cataclysm!

Hi everyone, i've updated mystore! The prints are the only items that i'm sending out worldwide- other items are still UK only for the moment. Please check out the store for full range! ko-fi.com/naniiebim/shop

Oh. Okay so I'm not completely out of stock of Errant Book One... wtf these are from the first print run, where was this box tucked away through like 3 house moves? There are effing Fan Dan Go books in here!?

Been busy working on the new house after rewiring took chick's of our walls back to brick. Pretty proud of this dining room. Could do with some coving around the ceiling, but we're getting there!

Oh wow I just sold the last copy of print run 2 of Errant Book 1. I didn't expect to need to do a third freaking print run!

Hannah the Plumber won! The Greens won! They kicked Reform's arse! Yessssss! 💚🐝

Oh damn, it's pancake day and I almost forgot to post this! Tradition! youtu.be/gj_aHCpZl4k?...

HOLY CRAP THEY MOVED WCW OUT OF USA I did not think this would happen, but I am overjoyed it did.

Took me months to paint this birthday present from my partner. Very tough minis to paint in Sons of the Phoenix colours because of all the straps and things with notoriously difficult white armour! Still, excited to add a little mobility to my army, jump packs are rad!

Been really busy cleaning and doing up the new house, but I try to do a little mini painting to relax here and there. The Wight King is a pretty old sculpt, lacking a god photogenic angle, but has great classic Warhammer vibes.

Next week! Designed for those in & around Edinburgh but ONLINE, & you don't need to be an AOI member to attend. Tickets & info here, and if you've got yours already, remember to submit Qs so I can talk more about what's most useful to you x www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/graphic-no...

Pretty funny that women and queer folk didn't ruin gaming after all, it was tech bros buying up all the RAM so nobody can afford a decent rig and Epstein going, "psst! Activision, you should charge kids microtransactions."

Now that we're seeing the links between gamergate and Epstein's misogynist, patriarchal network, every well-meaning guy who got duped into supporting it really needs to apologise to every woman (including Trans women!) who works in games who got told they were "overreacting".

Happy J K Rowling is in the Epstein files day to all trans people and trans allies.

I never got the whole "autistic people hate microfibre cleaning cloths!" Thing until this morning when my hands are a bit dry from all the cleaning of the new house and hand washing and I picked a dry one up and aaaaaaaaaagh.

Today I ate avocado toast and bought a house (Well, okay, I paid a few days ago, I got the keys today). I am the queen of the milennials.

The new Custodes minis look awesome. They have such poise and elegance now. I'd never really liked Custodes, and had always thought even if they added femme options, I'd be happy, but still not interested in the faction but now... oh no, they look cool! 😆

Doing product videos for our new unique "signature" Pride dice (yes, they're up on our Pendragon's Hoard website if you want some). The pan ones are my faves. They look delicious!

Happy Christmas, everyone! I hope you have a lovely, drama free day! ❤️💚

So I hadn't really engaged with the new version of D&D at all, but I want to teach my niece to play TTRPGs, and it made sense to teach her the newest version of the most popular one. I'm not sure how much I vibe with the decision to try to stop people skipping lv 1 by dumping complexity on newbies.

💿 EP RELEASE!! 💿 🎹 Do No Harm (Atrial Mix) 🎸 Do No Harm (Ventricular Mix) By me, @jamies.page, & @snapcube.gay OUT NOW shadolith.bandcamp.com/album/do-no-...

New project is the Deathrattle skeletons Spearhead! I really just wanted to enjoy materials and weathering for these. The sense of the mossy land reclaiming these ancient warriors.

Oh my god, arguing with an AI bro is exhausting, because they keep shifting the argument. "I need it to make content!" "Okay, I don't, but would you prefer if I stole from artists directly, 'cause I'm not paying!", "NO, you're not allowed to think I'm a dick!"

I hope all the sopranos suffering through the descant of Hark the Herald have at least enjoyed a good few months blowing people's minds singing Golden by Huntr/x flawlessly at karaoke.

I swear one of the worst things about criticising someone using AI for content is how many of them are desperate to win you over to validate their weak excuse for why they "have to" use it.

Besides the "frieren on the hard angle" artist, that people are being very supportive on their art journey on twitter, people also are cheering on this artist that gave up on AI recently and now trying to improve their own art. I honestly am loving this trend and we should keep it up!!

Hey Qobuz, could you make your logo a bit less... restrained and tasteful? I keep not being able to find the app icon on my phone.

Heads-up, Clip Studio is doing that login bonus thingy, so go grab that free clippy!

I think I just realised why I can sometimes just... tell something is AI before I scrutinise for details to prove it to others. It's because AI is rendered like high level pro art, but composed like beginner work, and that's really rare in an actual artist.

using AI to iterate might get you a tone of shit on a page, but what it doesn't do is get you thinking about the story and the systems. when i outline something, half of it is to tell the story to myself. skipping that step is like skipping your warmup and then trying to swim ten miles

Share with a pic of a Nativity scene you made with Warhammer minis (other things are permitted, but try to make it with a much Warhammer as you can).

Challenge accepted!

I saw a post saying Nativity scenes are Warhammer for mums... As your resident gay Warhammer aunt, that sounds like a challenge!

For months, we've been working on a better way for creators to host their comics online, but WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FINISH! Check out our Kickstarter for full details and how you can help us create a better comic-hosting ecosystem that's fair and accessible! 🔗 bit.ly/4azC95a

By the way, my move from Spotify to Qobuz was pretty painless. The tool for migrating playlists worked well, and the default sound quality is actually a little better. Only thing I'm missing are some JRPG soundtracks and a bunch of anime songs (but at least Frieren and FMA are there).
