I was planning on announcing the first 2026 art mentorship in a couple of weeks, but vet & cremation bills hit pretty hard so I'm going to open signups now. Semester 9 begins in February - if you'd like to sign up or learn more, here's the website: masteringimaginativerealism.com

my disgust is immeasurable.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

this map for Disco Elysium Final cut is i believe the most time consuming jobs i've done was super fun

Christmas tree is up, The Grinch is playing and I might just stay here till 2026

"Birth of the Homunculus" A sorceress astounded by her creation. This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday! (see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

Was asked to draw a Fantasy style map by Causa Creations recently and got reminded how fun these are to make! Thought I'd be nice to come back to my roots, so, just a reminder to potential clients that maps are in my wheelhouse too! Booking gigs for March onward rigth now. #fantasyart #TTRPG

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Here's some spooky art that I did of the mcdm summoner class. Tis the season for necromancers and spooky scary skeletons. #mcdm

Finally got around to playing Triangle Agency last night and I'm so ready for a campaign. @jemalexander.bsky.social did an incredible job herding a bunch of the most chaotic characters through a plot to take down an anomalous ice cream van. Perfection

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

if you're a patreon creator PLEASE fill out their official survey about how much you hate AI

some recent mouth/teeth studies from photo reference I still struggle to draw open mouths/teeth from imagination so this was some much needed practice. Tried to find some interesting looking ones for variety.

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

as someone who likes to see the best in people the number of fuckers falling for the computer saying "while i'm just a chatbot... i think you're really special! ;)" is testing me

Yes.

Well that’s nothing! Apparently if you don’t vote Labour you’ll get Reform and THEY’LL be the ones doing this. Who would you rather have destroying the lives of minorities? Those red ties are so comforting.

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia write to your MPs.

I'll be adding all the finished work from my mentorships to the MIR website over the next few days. Here are the completed pieces from the first 4 semesters! Quite a few are still in progress so I'll be adding them later. Incredible stuff from everyone ❤️

What a way to go out

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 🖤💜🖤

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Back at my parents' this weekend and found a box of childhood documents. This one's a school report circa 1996 (I was 6). I wonder why it took me over 30 years to finally get diagnosed with ADHD...

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

As we're in Pride month, I want to shout out everyone who feels they can't take up space because someone made them feel they weren't queer enough. Being queer and in a relationship with someone of a different gender doesn't make you any less gay. Take up space 💙💜❤️

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Sometimes I worry I use my phone too much but as I sat listening to music on the tube a guy next to me spent our journey frantically switching between WhatsApp and chatGPT to respond to messages and I feel a little better about myself now.

The House of Lords is an archaic and fundamentally undemocratic body, which is why it's so insane that it's now the only thing stopping a Labour government from actively harming UK workers.

Show us your favourite character designs you’ve made! 🌸 Probably those ? don't really know tbh (I'd love to go back to magical girl chara design)

Spent this afternoon at a coffee shop and decided to do my first 3-point perspective drawing. Took so long to get my head around it but it was super fun by the end. Really happy with how it turned out.

I have three types of ttrpg characters: - Pure (unmedicated) chaos gremlin who you would absolutely die for - Magic boy genius who will save anyone but himself (needs therapy) - The hottest and most unhinged sapphic sorceress

Respectfully. If I see any generative AI in a videogame even if it's just one asset, well acclaimed or just getting kickstarted, then unfortunately no, they're not getting my time or my money. Solidarity with creatives means maintaining that integrity no matter what. Our work is not a freeforall
