Boy Kavalier looking worried in ALIEN: EARTH

Tfw you realize there are no more #AlienEarth episodes after tonight:

Bsky, we can't lean into a future where regulating social media means blanket rules that enforce unwanted censorship. The responsibility needs to be on the creator to label, and on the consumer to filter out the unwanted based on it. Not on gradually eliminating more and more content altogether.

rewatching cutscenes from #RatchetAndClank like movies again

Just how I like it 😄

I love that we have saved posts! I do, and I don't want to take away that amazing gift the devs have given us.

But... you know what would really get me excited? Closed circles. As in being able to make a post that only certain people could see and respond to. Like private groups.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

ZILLA!

A dark ocean summoning...

My first proper attempt at animation. Very simple and full of mistakes I'm sure, but I'm excited to practice more :)

Happy Labor Day!

Remember: AI “art” is labor theft. Support human artists!

It sucks when you like someone who hates their own guts.
Of course it also sucks to BE that person.

But its rough knowing no amount of admiration or care can make them believe you see their worth.

Its like they are under an evil spell.

The neurodivergent experience of asking someone for feedback and genuinely wanting feedback and being frustrated when they just say “it’s great!” vs when they ask you for feedback and you invest time/energy in providing thoughtful feedback and they get upset you didn’t just say “it’s great!”

I wish it was that easy 😔

Sketch idea for OUT OF TIME’S ABYSS….

I feel like I'm the only person in the fandom who likes the new Xeno design 😅

Rabid Rex. Done for Talsorian Games in 2025 and I can reveal this now! 16 x 20 oils.

I finally got a scanner and I tested it on an old watercolor study and I think I'm happy with what this new machine can do!

it finally loaded and I had to find my country 😁

why doesn't wplace load for me? :(

A humanoid creature struggling to remove a red string or worm-like substance from its ear. The creature has a skull instead of a face, it's yelling and distressed. Bones of lower jaws belonging to reptile-like creatures are behind the humanoid in a circular formation.

Digital painting of a humanoid alien creature, holding a huge whale-like fantasy animal, using its snout to water a giant mushroom. From the giant mushroom and across the entire scenery, there are bright, snake-like creatures taking notice of the scene. The whale-like creature is happy to be of service because this is like a fun trip for it.

A humanoid creature lying on the floor. Purple substance coming out of its head.

It's my birthday, so you have to repost my art and bookmark my website :)

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

Oh the crocodile tears of thieves who might face legal consequences.

“But our company might go down!”

Well you shouldn’t have felt entitled to profit off works you do not own, and built your entire business off this racket 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫶

The hardest thing about surviving capitalism with my temperament is …

I rarely want”money”

I just want the security and the reduction of mental load money gets you

PSA, because some how folk still don't understand:

Asexual ≠ doesn't want sex.
Asexual in fact = experiences little/no sexual ATTRACTION

You can be ace and desire relationships. You can be ace and desire intimacy. You can also be ace and desire neither

That is all

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI
