A diptych of two illustrations depicting Griffith and Guts from the manga / anime Berserk. On the left, Griffith is riding a white horse into a thick wall of leaves, holding up his sword. Red hands reach out of the ground and are grabbing at him and the horse. Large red text above him reads: "Long ago..." On the right, Guts is riding a horse that has its legs up in the air, surrounded by three white flags. His face is depicted as a black silhouette with red slits for eyes. He swings his sword upward and it's covered in blood. Below him, large red text reads, "There was a longing"

An illustration of the main cast of Final Fantasy 7. At the bottom of the piece, Cloud, Barret, and Tifa stand side by side, with Cloud reaching up towards a flower held by Aerith, who is floating above them. Aerith holds the White Materia in her other outstretched hand - it overlaps with the Black Materia, held by Sephiroth, who is facing her. The cyan tendrils of the lifestream swirl around the characters, and a frame on the sides features their low-poly versions from the original FF7.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

A screenshot from Procreate showing a work in progress painting of Cloud, Tifa, and Barret from Final Fantasy 7. Cloud reaches upwards towards a glowing white flower held by someone not shown in the crop (but who can be seen to be wearing a pink dress), while Tifa and Barret look ready for action beside him.

An illustration of Isabela from Dragon Age, in the style of the tarot cards in the series. Isabela, a woman with brown skin and long, thick, greying dark brown hair, clad in pirate clothing, stands on the prow of a ship, holding on to some ropes and shielding her eyes from the sun as she gazes forwards.

An illustration of Fenris from Dragon Age, in the style of the tarot cards in the series. Fenris, an elven man with brown skin and bright white hair, holds a sword aloft, about to plunge it down into a heart held in his other hand. The sword drips with blood, and broken chains lie on either side of it. Ghostly hands with similarly broken chains on their wrists reach towards the heart.

reposting from tumblr but let 2026 be the year I never have to see another makeship plushie or enamel pin kickstarter from an artist I used to admire again. hold artists to higher standards & do not exploit underpaid factory workers in the global south. just because you can doesn't mean you should!
