"The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed 'good enough.'” This is exactly what I feared. Not that AI would replace good writing (it can't), but that good writing would cease to be valued

some studios are pro-junk and AI-slop now i guess not surprised. but at the end of the day, the only thing that will end this is you and your dollar. if you want human-made art and animation, it’s up to you, the customer, to prove it. rip Hollywood. the next iteration of you will make more sense.

@gabystarstudios.bsky.social made a better version lmao

I very seriously want people to be rude, mean and strict about AI. See a YouTuber using AI? Tell them you hate it and unsubscribe. See an artist using AI? Tell them to fuck off and block. See a friend posting AI memes/vids? Call them out. Ruffle feathers. Debate it. Hate it. Bury it.

Word of mouth does more than you think. It's also why I yell about how much fun I had with a game or book or comic etc, how much I liked a thing b/c just maybe someone else will also get joy out of it. I tell friends who I specifically thing might like a thing. It helps SO much ❤️

And here are some commissions I've done this year. This time featuring OCs. If you're interested, I'm still able to take one or two commissions for this month before I close them until next year. bananafly.carrd.co

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

I thought it was suspicious I didn't get a cold during october.

If Zangoose and Seviper dated each other

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked. Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight? Also go support Nakufin.

Of all soundtracks Nintendo release on the music app today it had to be a Mario Party soundtrack. It’s like they want me to *party* or maybe even *celebrate* something, I just can’t quite put my finger on it.

A BIG @kickstarter.com pledge cancelled. We dropped 14% overnight. It happens. If this story matters to you: RT, share, tell someone. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks The Mami Wata doesn't go down that easy. We're going to make this film! #projectwelove #kickstarter #indiefilm #defiant

I love the Nemesis comics SO MUCH www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id...

Hippos don't do well out at sea. So you best hope you don't fall off as nobody will be able to help you.

I'm actually really starting to like the new procreate pencils #art #furryart

Burst out laughing at this graffiti. Why indeed.

You could always try being a little nicer, Mario And Luigi is having none of it

Everyone keeps talking about Mario saying "It's trash" to Bowser's painting, but what I want to know is why is Luigi trying to get on Bowser's good side? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his fucking life threatened by Bowser spending the entire film in a cage over boiling hot lava?

Mario: ”It’s trash” That doesn’t sound like the Mario I know ”It’s stinky!” Better!

Hello, I would like to share with you these two not-so-normal nautili that I drew. 😁

Tomorrow's Direct will announce Bowser Jr voiced by Aquafina, Toto Africa will play in the movie for no reason and as Rosalina reads her sad backstory a Toad whispers "This is the best part" and Mario responds "But you said that last time" which Toad responds "I know, they're all my favourite!"

What a decade, huh? #Undertale

Now that halloween is over that means the artfight we have in another discord group I'm in is too. This was such a fun exercise to do and honestly makes me want to partake in more in the future! Part 1/2

Today I found out that it's the National Throw Short People day! It's on the urban dictionary afterall, so it must be true! Bebop is pulling everything she's got in an attempt to throw her small crocodile friend into the lake. Theodor offers his support like any friend would over her failed prank.

It's been a long time since I've actually designed a proper logo for myself since I used to be called Toxodentrail. And finally, after many ifs and hows, I think I finally designed a personal logo I'm happy with! Both animation and music combined into one simple design!

IMPORTANT PSA: You will NOT see posts from non English speaking artists if your content language is set to English! Make sure it's *unset*!!! If you're following Chinese artists or whatever and wonder why their posts never show up on your feed this is why!

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

“MAD Mad”

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

I found more joy in life this way.

The agony of changing shape- 2025

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
