Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

Iโ€™ve got two cats I would love to commission in this style. Mine also have some pretty big negatives in the INT stat. Wisdom is alright though

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates.

I would like to bid with the starting bid

24.10.2025 12:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

this should be as much of a story as A Past Notable Instance of Art Theft, imo

if anything this is so much worse given there was deliberate contact with the artist

SB is starting bid right? So I would like to bid 70

17.10.2025 21:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The first one on the left

15.10.2025 22:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Then I would like to bid 60

14.10.2025 17:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So we can bid here? Do I just say I would like to bid 50โ‚ฌ?

Also I love this version of Elsa. I would love to see her in more books. I honestly canโ€™t remember seeing her since all of the stuff with the Poisons when she was guarding Kid Kaiju

I guess Tigra wouldnโ€™t count since thatโ€™s fur. I think a lot of the time for female characters orange tends to be the skin. Like there are a lot of orange skinned alien characters.

Side note I think seeing Tigra in this style would be very neat.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollarsโ„ข๏ธ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

I love voice acting so much. Because the same guy that voices the absolute gremlin that is Inosuke also voices one of my fav digimon (Coronamon) in the new game. Love Bryce Papenbrook #digimon

You know I could kind of see it. He is a pretty cute version of Oswald. And you made him even cuter with those expressions. The little bit of blush in the one is adorable

The different patterns on the body really make it pop and I love the more elongated shape to Pikachuโ€™s body. I couldnโ€™t help but stop and smile as I looked over your art.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Would love to see Medusa of the Inhumans in this style. Also any of the Guardians of the Galaxy ladies either classic or more modern.
