HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you 🐉

Why not share again my old hollow knight fanart ! Yami vs Grimm I'll begin Silksong today, can't wait to discover it! :)

✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️ Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft? Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago. In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

Traditional art Okami

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

"I'm glad, the scarf suits you"

Gekigami's sculpt is now finished. He will be printed in 6 parts (Gekigami, base, bow/bolt, all three smaller bolts separately), with the bow being 20cm wide. Whenever/if the printer will work... 😞 Uncoloured version in the reply. #大神 #Okami

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

💙 #DerpyTiger from #K-PopDemonHunters won the Fanart Day poll over my Patreon! 💙 The problem with this little guy was that the “Okami style” eyes usually are small and black. Sooo I ended up mixing the Okami style with a more traditional Japanese interpretation of a tiger. Hope you like it!

'The swirling whirlpool of evil below has driven to this height. From this perch, I observe the world below and its descent. If my power is needed once again, I, Kabegami, god of walls, shall gladly offer a bridge of hope to the realm below!' Photos below! #大神 #okami

New interview with Hideki Kamiya. Nothing new but it's always nice to get an update confirming that it's Clovers' main focus and is actively being worked on 🌸 gnn-gamer-com-tw.translate.goog/detail.php?s...

Didn't had time to post before, but here are Attack no. 3 and 4 for #artfight ! @lucardraws.bsky.social 's Eria and @yaminell.bsky.social 's Yami

⚠️PSA ABOUT SCAMMERS There's been an uptick in impersonators who target users with easily swappable handles (i's for l's, o's for 0's, varying repeated letters, etc) They will always 1) block the original artist 2) target users who have replied with interest, either thru QRPs, replies, or DMs (+)

My Artfight attacks will be posted in batch on the site as I have to glaze them. First one is done, second one will be started this evening

I'll be team fossils this year! I find the themes really cool :) Like always, I attack anyone, I revenge everyone!

"Copyright is evil and should be abolished!" AYE can we stop with this take. Yes, corporations have abused the F out of copyright protections, but artists still rely on whatever protections copyright offers. It's the only reason a big corporation can't just steal literally everything we make.

Kami of the thieves - Here's a cross over artwork sly Cooper X Okami It's dedicated to my bf, the Sly Cooper trilogie being his all time favorite game, and Okami being mine #fanart #okami #slycooper

A WIP sketch of the sun wolf goddess Amaterasu and her reincarnated past life self Shiranui circling the firey sun. I've wanted to draw some fanart of this beautiful wolf for a while now. #wipsketch #sketch #fanart #amaterasu #okami #furryart #furryartist #lindseygoldenmane

would anyone be interested in this one of a kind misprint of the nascent decay throw?

Netflix, Facebook, Spotify et consort c'est merdique. Pour le comprendre, avec @bolchegeek.bsky.social on vous a concocté cette nouvelle vidéo pour @blast-info.fr youtu.be/sLZ62PKQmHc?... Toujours avec @kath-petitevoix.bsky.social à la caméra et @tienstiens.bsky.social aux illustrations.

"Mononoke The Movie: Chapter 2 - The Ashes of Rage" is coming to Netflix on August 14 (worldwide).

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

quite a few people still ask me about these plushies but idk if I should make them 👀

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Seen around my town (Chateaubriant, France) this week. @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @coolzonemedia.bsky.social I'll add some context in replies... 🧵

✨ Shiny Suicune for Nathan 💙 They wanted to see their wonderful character in a peaceful, “meditative sleep.” I’ve actually wanted to draw Suicune in this style for ages, so I was delighted to finally get the chance! ;u; Hope you like it!! --- #Suicune #OkamiStyle #Pokemon

Okami being Kamiya's game the most suited for a cinema adaptation in his opinion. I'd only accept it if it's 2D like traditional anime, or 3D in a style similar to the game. I would boycott a live action though... But yeah, I sure would love an anime adaptation, I think!

Is Cara social used by artists? Or is there another social dedicated to art that's used right now? I miss an art centred social

Nightmares It seems every other year or so I poke at this painting in an effort to like it as much as I like the concept of it #art #monster #ocsky #illustration #solivaga

Update: While the 10yr ban on State Ai regulations progresses through the House, 140 organizations join the call to reject this proposal! Add your voice to these organizations today by calling your representatives and tell them to reject this proposal! thehill.com/policy/techn...

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Anyone preparing for art fight?

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

🇪🇺🚨Facebook/Instagram is restarting training AI on your data🚨🇪🇺 They offer Opt-out, but OPT-OUT doesn't work conceptually! People re-upload other people's work and photos on social media ALL THE TIME. datenschutz-hamburg.de/news/meta-st... Let's do something about it. 👇 CALL TO ACTION 👇

What a misguided and terrible ruling from the EU. They just handed people’s rights, privacy and copyrighted works away for free to a US behemoth. This also affects any company whose work is copyright dependent. I thought the EU was better than this. Shame on them. finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-wi...

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

While a Youtuber released a 3 hr video cherry picking information, elevating astro turf tech groups, and claiming the lawsuits are faulty, in reality things are moving in a positive direction for creatives! In one of the lawsuits brought up, Kadrey v Meta, this is what the judge had to say 👇

Needed a break from the computer today so I started painting my bigger Yomigami figure (and managed to free up this tiny table to paint it on instead of on my lap haha). I ran out of two colours I need so I’m trying to mix some to find the right shades for the chest and scroll.
