actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Ehhh... it's a start I guess. Probably wouldn't be any worse than the actual Tenchi Muyo SNES game. #pixelart

IDK about "artists driving tech" but he's definitely riding something, there

Ordering a Bud Light with a splash of soda "to open it up"

Carmen's work is so good, y'all. I'm always impressed by the textures she uses.

This one took a while to write. Put out an essay about the links between fandom and consumerism, and its effect on how we interpret fiction. Hope y'all enjoy!

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

I am trapped in an unbelievable fantasy world where cops do useful work

There are voice actors who will voice your stuff for free. Imma repeat myself for any Dev/Creator that is considering AI. THERE ARE VOICE ACTORS WHO WILL VOICE YOUR STUFF FOR FREE. Signed, a voice actor who did voice act FOR FREE for almost NINE YEARS. Don’t make excuses. Stick to human talent.

The sentence "My AI persona" might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen, and I've had people ask me to spit on them during sex.

Nife's style is so, so good y'all. Just look at the highlights and crinkles on her bolero.

16-bit isometric horror/adventure game based on Laird Barron's "The Croning" and a handful of short stories

More fiddlin' around with Aseprite but now I'm also hungry

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

democracy scientists are hard at work inventing a type of voting which changes your material conditions. preliminary results suggest that it will grow out of the barrel of something

An inspiring quote for modern times

I'm not particularly moved one way or another by the Star Fox trailer but I sympathize with all the furries or furry-adjacent people I see complaining about it.

A new month, a new original art giveaway. For full details read the thread or check the "Original of the month" tab on one of my shops. US Shop: zeburnayusa.bigcartel.com WORLD Shop: zeburnay.bigcartel.com

Going through a weird 70s horror manga phase. Not too upset about it.

Disappointing to be in the home town of Dr. Seuss and not a single restaurant up here has a green eggs and ham themed menu item

This carousel "update" is nonsensical for a platform like Bluesky. Now multiple-image posts are essentially useless. I want to see the preview of ALL the images people post, I don't want to have to slide to see them one by one. My own pinned post now makes no sense. This is a big mistake.

Sigh. What sites should I start making accounts on if I want to keep following good artists when the feebs in charge of running this place finally take a hose to the servers?

Quick stylized paint-over of Lio Rush from last week's AEW Collision as I continue to teach myself Aseprite. Not sure why his new gimmick keeps sticking in my head. #pixelart

I'm glad I missed any Discourse™ about Persona 5 by playing it ten years late, and just get to see it as a story about attractive people who are friends.

Pushing this again because turns out I'm relocating to Los Angeles and commissions would help with the many, many boxes I'm going to have to ship. I'll include this link and one for Ko-Fi as well: VGen: t.co/zAzjKKgv5M Ko-Fi: t.co/6hzrgrlWet #commissions #vgen #commsopen

That Ch*ck T*ngle is just the mascot for a bog-standard content mill

If you think you've seen him like ham, wait until you see ME like ham...

finding a cool artist on this website just to find out they're inactive here on bluesky and active only on twitter gotta be top 10 anime betrayals

Faliol from "Masquerade of a Dead Sword" by Thomas Ligotti for my dear friend @nathanandersonart.bsky.social 🙏😌

The Free Speech Coalition is serious about starting an adult industry credit union. Part of this is being able to show regulators that enough people would use it, so please fill out this form if you're interested! (Yes, credit unions can issue credit cards!) www.freespeechcoalition.com/survey

Update: IT'S OUT Do YOU know him? Have YOU heard of Kelwas? buttondown.com/crosshatches...

I know I can't usually shut up about Book of the New Sun but if anyone wants to help an artist out and get FORTY ILLUSTRATIONS based on that wonderful series, here's a great opportunity!

Had my Heretic Priest turn away a bayonet with two fingers playing Trench Crusade last night. The power of Mammon compels you!

Dried apricots and prunes are tasty as hell.

Everybody needs more Ligotti based visual art in their life.

Playing around with Aseprite on my tiny tablet, producing a series of gradually-less-bad Kirbies

This is the perfect intersection of the two things that have most interested me for the last couple years (stylish 80s anime and playfully obtuse literature)

The mouse buttons should never make an audible click but the scroll wheel should

Why is Lovecraft the only author where they make books/movies/games about all their stories being real. Why isn't there an RPG where all of Ernest Hemingway's stories are happening at once. Why has Brian Yuzna not explored the Joyce Carol Oates shared universe.

One slot left! #commsopen #commissionsopen

So funny to imagine how the US would manage to screw up a ground invasion of the Vatican

Are all of the confidants' dialogue choices in Persona 5 as horny out the gate as the doctor because jesus christ

This photographer took pictures of 100 people before and after telling them it finally happened

Why do I feel so much more motivated to practice drawing with a smaller tablet?

The library should have a collection of "breakfast books" that you're only allowed to check out before 10:30
