Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

Just put together a WIP post with over a dozen ceramic pieces in it over on my Patreon! Steller's Jay & Raven tiers get sketchbook and process work posts, consider checking it out if you want to see as much behind the scenes work as I can manage to share: www.patreon.com/posts/many-c...

The asura's face is the best thing I've seen this year. The shape, their expression, the painting style, the way the light makes them look like they're glowing on a warm summer day. Beautiful.

digital painting of my asura Syrrys (guild wars 2 universe) hanging out with his raptor. The scene is playful but the raptor is showing off his pointy teeth at something, probably a prey.

It's March and i'm finally posting Syrrys and his raptor hanging out in the flowers xD This is my piece for this year @calendarkrewe.bsky.social project 🌸

Also, with this post i'd like to try jumping on Vgen!🥺

Thank you Arenanet for supporting my work~

photograph of a grey sculpture in front of a grey backdrop. The sculpture is a goblin looking to the left, in profile. He has a pointy nose, an over bite with a lil toofer, and big ears. Also some sort of leaf or skin tag stuff coming off his head and shoulders. His eyes are glowing golden orange. Sort of seems pleasant, for a goblin?

Something new. Soon.

I don't like social media apps on my phone either. I use my pc, but still browse Tumblr on my phone (but not using their app)I find Blusky to be impersonal with folks I follow using it mostly to showcase art, sales or opinions but rarely personal stuff. Whereas Tumblr is like a community journal. XD

clothes 🎨👀

Why not use Tumblr for personal vlogging. You can password protect it so only invited people may see, and interact. You can make your own community there too if you'd like.

Congratulations everyone

It's giving this music video vibes. AI as necromancy is not new. The truly depraved part is that at it's center is profit. Fucking ghoulish.

Some of your atoms, mostly hydrogen, come from the beginning of the universe. Many more were created in the super novae of ancient dying stars.

Mushroom cups!
If you could choose any color for the cups, and the mushrooms- what would you pick? I'm always curious of people's "dream combinations"

Faux bois with orange and cream mushies!
Or a pale sage ombre and orange and cream mushies
Or vintage blanket/ china pattern with real gold edges on the mushies. Or pure white with gold trimmed mushies.
Or pure white but the mushrooms have a vintage/ china pattern. The possibilities are endless!

Landscape gouache painting of some purple flowery fields under a cloudy sky.

back to gouache (it's hard T_T)

Illustration of an anthro cardinal avian character in an ink pen/comic style, roughly waist-up view. They strike a jaunty pose, their body in a side view with their face turned to look at the viewer with a grin, as if having been caught pleasantly by surprise by a friend. They're wearing a blue and white Hawaiian print collared shirt against a simple yellow circular background.

A painting of a stylized dragon with a knowing expression, made of flowing shapes. Much of the image is painted in violet-blue tones, but a highlight of yellow-green runs down the center of the dragon, with pale pink behind in the sky.

This is a quite small mixed media painting— mostly acrylic gouache in the end! Working on this piece made me excited about what it will look like when I get back into oil painting in the coming months.

Just out of curiosity, what are the dimensions? Will prints ever be available?

A watercolor painting featuring an armored anthropomorphic horse with a checked tabard and a lance. The checked/harlequin motif is repeated throughout- on a banner behind him and on his pauldrons.

A photo of a framed painting with a backdrop of snow and bare branches. The frame is worked metal with patterns of flowers and leaves.

This is some Valentine's day art I made for my boyfriend. I've been art blocked for so long but with the sun returning I was finally able to actually follow through with my idea.

A white trumpeter swan drifts across the glass surface of a pond peppered with lilly pads. Stacks of submerged deadfall lie undisturbed.

Here’s one from a wayzzz back, “Slow Drift,” oil on linen, 30”x24”.

A watercolor painting in rich jewel tones. It depicts a sandhill crane troubadour and a saluki knight.

'The Lovers' from Matthew Spencer's in-progress deck The Courtly Beasts Tarot. Two male swans hold eachother in a secret embrace, surrounded by reeds and candles.

A watercolor painting depicting a gay wedding between an anthropomorphic boar knight, and an anthropomorphic bull farrier. Both animal-men have strong builds and the boar's fur is tinged with grey. They are exchanging cups (akin to the Two of Cups tarot card) and above them is an architectural border with a rainbow banner.

Two watercolor paintings beside each other. One, a whitetail deer in medieval garb, smelling a green carnation. He stands among reeds and tall water plants, with Corkscrew Willow branches winding in and out of his still velevety antlers above his head. The other, an anthropomorphic black bear in monks robes, doing a gay little illumination of him and his secret deer bf having a clandestine meeting in the woods. The illustration is bordered by medieval-style vines in a rainbow gradient arching above him.

Happy Valentines Day here are some lovers.

A large deer skull masked figure, dressed fine 1640-60s garments with slashed sleeves, ribbons, and cape, crouches before a young woman with pearls in her hair that match her fair dress. Blood pours out of the large figure's chest. Their dripping heart is delicately held in their ringed, cupped hands... offering to the woman. The caption along the bottom reads: Take it, please...I do not want it anymore.

I wanted to love her, I truly did, for I cared for her so much but her love was too much for me. I treasured the time we spent together greatly, but I did not know how to match the affection she gave so easily to me. I did not know the mask I wore would attract such affec-tion. I did not know its smile would be perceived flirta-tious. When the realization hit me, I wanted to run and hide. She deserves someone who could match her affec-tions. And that sadly could never be me. My smiling mask did not help me in my efforts to dissuade her from pursuing my affection. So, I told her to meet me in the garden, that I had something special to gift her. She greeted me with a sweet smile and held out her hands ready to receive her gift. "I know this is what you want and I want you to have it," I told her. Then I dug my hands deep within my chest and offered her my heart. "Take it, please... I don't want it anymore. I know it's what you want, and with you, it will be safe so please... take it from me."

I thought I could go on without a heart, that was why I encouraged her to take my gift-despite her wary hands. But I assured her all would be well, letting the lump of muscle and flesh rest heavy on her hands. Gifting my mind to someone who admired my intellect resulted in no issues, so of course I thought giving away my heart would be more or less the same. If only I knew how wrong I was. Without a head or heart to guide my actions, my body became aimless. My sense of self was lost. Soon I was a lumbering thing with flesh that began to stretch with a great yearning for what was missing. And that was how she found me. From an ornate glass jar, she procured the still-beating thing and held it aloft. Instantly, my body stilled and my flesh leaned with intrigued. Through tears, she sniffed. " I kept it safe as promised, and I truly appreciate the sentiment of this gift, but it was never mine to take so... Please, take it back... You need it far more than I."

digital illustration bathed in warm hues of orange, red, and ochre greens of two figures framed in delight border. The smallest figure dressed in a 16th century shirt and doublet holds a large dripping heart up to the larger who is crouched on their hands and knees, trying to hold back the tentacles bursting through the torn linen of his shirt from a his chest under a wide-sleeved doublet. More tentacles twist and arch from where a head would be above a mane of long wavy hair. Text at the bottom reads: Please, take it back...you need it for more than I.

didn't have the energy to draw Valentine this year, so here's the first and last pieces him with some accompanying writing for all the aromantics 💚💐✨
