An illustration of a man with gray skin and hair encased in a stone monolith. Inside, stringy flesh holds him in place. The caption reads: "BLUE" This unnamed man, a gargoyle born from an abandoned stone monolith and left to die, has been dubbed Blue by his traveling companion. He seeks the right to earn his true name and to find a cure for the blight which consume his father and threatens to take his lover.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

The first page of a black and white comic. Panel 1: A man with wavy hair in a ponytail is lying back on a bed shirtless. Panel 2: Four insectoid hands skitter up his torso, with text reading "How impatient." Panel 3: A closeup of the other character's face. They have segmented cheeks and mandible-like horns protruding from the sides of their head. Panel 4: The curly-haired man has his face covered by the other person's insectoid hand. The text bubble reads: "Do you ache to leave me?"

The second page of a black and white comic. Panel 1: A close-up of the curly-haired man's mouth, with text that reads "You know I couldn't." Panel 2: A shot of the insectoid person straddling the man's waist, their hands pinning him down and still covering his eyes. A text bubble reads: "I... need to wake up, Rue." Panel 3: The insectoid person leans close to the man's face, which is obscured by their hand yet still visible. Two text bubbles read: "Are you asking me?" "I..." Panel 4: A shot of the curly-haired man's view from behind the other person's fingers. Through the fingers, he can see their body as an eerie dark silhouette with predator eyes.

the recent censorship shit has made me sit back and realize that I’ve actually been really self limiting on any interaction with “nsfw” art the past 5+ years because of fear of others judgement. dude I shouldn’t have to give a fuck about drawing anime girl tits or blood and neither should you

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

An off-white grayscale illustration. A person whose face is covered has their hands folded in prayer. Behind him is a rough-looking sun and two panels, one with dead flowers with eyes at the center and one with a metal pattern. The background has temple arches.

A grayscale illustration. On the left is a decorated book spine with text that reads "The Vampire of House Gardet - VAMPBYTE". The central illustration features a man with long curly hair lying on his side, his hand draped over a shattered ornate mirror. In the mirror, another man's reflection stares at the viewer. Behind them is title text that reads "AMARANTHINE." At the bottom, a caption reads "When emotion and memory are burned away, what is left behind?"

An illustration of a man with shoulder length wavy hair turned away from the viewer, looking over his shoulder with a smile. He is standing in a field of tall grass, touching a stalk of amaranth with one hand. The image is framed with a decorative gothic border.

Cover art for a webcomic, titled "The Necromancer's Assistant." Two men are standing in an embrace - the shorter man, who has round glasses and curly brown hair tied with a green ribbon, is holding a skull behind his back, while the taller man, who has long flowing black hair with a silver streak, has his hand supporting the other's waist. Behind them is a shattered mirror effect projecting the taller man's face, with one reflection having a darker and more ominous appearance.

A black and white comic page. Panel 1: A long haired man has his eyes closed contemplatively. "This is where they all come to rest in the end. All those unfortunate enough to have met me." Panel 2: The other man is crouching down to touch flowers growing out of a ribcage. "Most have been dragged off by animals, or worn down by the elements, yet these few still remain." Panel 3: A close-up of some begonia leaves, which are wet with dew. Panel 4: A skull in the grass has weeds growing from it and a spider web stuck to its eye socket. "Those left behind have nourished the earth and in exchange, new life has grown here. That is the true camaraderie that all humans are entitled to by birth. A privilege I am denied." Panel 5: Both men are sitting in the grass, the long haired man looking dejected. "I suppose bringing them all here, to rest in this quiet place together, is the only apology I can offer them."

Illustration of a gray-skinned, pointy-eared character standing in front of an apple tree, about to eat the apple in his hand. He has shaggy pale hair, yellow eyes and a muscular-fat body type.

a few spots left!

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.

a few spots left!

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

Keep it up

Japan makes so many good films, and sadly most of the live action ones are completely non-viable in the English market. Which means that this platform is absolutely priceless.

A character reference sheet. The character is a skinny male vampire with white skin, red eyes, and shaggy shoulder-length black hair. His outfit is a torn up brown leather vest and lighter brown tights. He has dull gold jewelry around his neck. A second variant of the design features a torn up cloak and hood, which fully obscures his face. His profile text reads: Blaise Age: ??? Height: 5'8" Race: vampire Profession: scavenger & collector of charms

another oc of mine got his very much due redesign \o/ welcome back into the world blaise!

A character reference sheet. The character is a muscular, animal-eared man with shaggy red hair, pale blue eyes, and dark grey skin with lighter patches on his chest and forehead. He is shirtless. He has a large segmented cuff gauntlet on one wrist. He is wearing black puffy pants tied at the waist with a green sash. To the right is his weapon, a spiney golden sword called "The Collector" His profile text reads: Zygg Tavok Age: 24 Height: 5'8" Race: ??? Profession: wandering sword-for-hire

another redesign, this time for zygg!

A character reference sheet. The character is short, green-grey skinned male with long lavendar hair that reaches his ankles. His hands and feet end in a black gradient. He is wearing a loose black robe that has one sleeve and leaves half of his chest exposed. His chest has a tattoo that resembles a vertical eye. An alternate version of the same fullbody has his face replaced by one large black eye. To the side is a gnarled black staff made of sinew, with various trinkets tied to its end. His profile text reads: Lotus Age: 26 Height: 5'5" Race: half-blight Profession: flesh sorcerer

redesign for lotus! he one of my beloved ancient OCs and now that he's finally in a project, he was due for a new fit

fun fact: the "eye face" is his real face. his interest in flesh sorcery began with him seeking ways to wear a non-monstrous face, and now he just likes doing weird shit with it

A portrait illustration of an elf with gray-green skin and long pink hair who has one massive eye for a face. The eye is staring at the viewer and his hands, which are black with long claw nails, are holding his face.

An illustration of a man with a long ponytail and glasses staring uneasily at the viewer, his upper half cast in shadow. He is wearing an oversized blue robe and tall white gloves. His body is being distorted with magic. Behind him, two skulls are facing left and right respectively. The background is a chaotic array of textures in blue, grey, and orange. The text reads: LELAND From the day of his birth, Leland has been afflicted with a strange curse - forever doomed to be torn from any timeline he dares to call home. The Two-Headed Seer is both the source of his suffering and his only path to freedom.

sorry to get political, but if they wanted to protect kids, they would feed them. they would invest in their education. they would build more parks, more programs, and invest in their future.

if they wanted to protect kids, they would build a world meant for them.
