I'm not big on New Year Resolutions, because I think most of us forget about them by the time February comes along. But I think I would like to make a new year... wish. A hope, maybe? I would like to draw more, even if what I draw is worse.

I'd like trans people alive and doing well

QRP to reintroduce yourself! I'm Lola, and I love drawing couples, mostly Critical Role related but I've been known to try my hand at other fandoms.

I'm having the same cunundrum I have every holiday: do I play this videogame I just bought (Dispach) or do I work on this art I've been meaning to finish (Shadowgast)? I will of course end up doing neither (and just watching Heated Rivalry and Critical Role C2 on repeat).

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Then burn it all down.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

I'm glad people are not crucifying the artists at larian over this and directing the ire at management. I have oceans of knowledge of how the threat of genai is treated in the animation industry by rank and file artists and we would never be "more or less ok"

The only acceptable amount of genAI usage is zero, IMO.

« pushing hard on genAI » for no gain in efficiency lmao maybe stop then ?

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

💔

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!' 'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!' 'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!' the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art. like. *hate* art. deeply.

A reminder this holiday season and always

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

I made some phone wallpapers, available below (free (◜ ⩊ ◝) !) : 🐱🌾: ko-fi.com/s/4c41ca33cd

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

happy n7 day to all who celebrate Remember, press F to stop mingling

Please don’t make “Ding dong the witch is dead” posts about Dick Cheney. It is disrespectful to witches, who are awesome.

One thing that's great about AI is that I immediately know which people are not worth my time.

I LOVE ART SO MUCH. I LOVE CREATING IT. I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE CREATE. I LOVE THE VISION. THE EMOTION. I LOVE HOW MUCH HEART WENT INTO EVERYTHING WE MAKE AS HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can already tell these two are going to ruin me… #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #Campaign4

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Nothing like having my niece and nephew over to get me to draw something. Even if it’s the wonkiest Olaf known to man. (In my defense I’ll have you know that my nephew was actually on my knees while I drew this.)

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Okay, maybe the average viewer can't tell and doesn't care. But why the fuck would SOMEONE WHO MAKES ART hand that process off to a machine? The big question here is, why don't YOU care?

Share your couples art 💜🧡💙🖤

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS!! I'm dead, this looks SO FREAKING GOOD!! Caleb, my beloved 😭 #CriticalRole youtu.be/Ri2wNyvSpiY?...

This keeps evolving… 🧡💜 I’ve been so preoccupied with work and tired and just generally miserable that I’ve barely picked up a pen in the last month. But #CriticalRole helps me so much and I miss these two, so let’s see if I can finish this once and for all.

My friends know me too well! This was a great birthday present and I can’t wait to start reading!! (My other bday presents were amazing but nobody on BlueSky cares 🤣) #CriticalRole #TuskLove

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

i hope you’re doing well. despite literally everything

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

I had such a crush on this damn fox when I was little...

I miss when AI meant adobe illustrator Btw I also hate adobe illustrator

finished my chores for the day. time to grapple with the crushing weight of existence

#ORYM: oh my little soldier boy

I can't wait for this cutie to steal/break my heart.
