A bust picture of Thaisha from Critical Role Campaign 4. She has green skin, curly greying brown hair with braids going down the side of her face. She has black scleras with white eyes, and red makeup accentuating her face along with red freckles. She has a nose and labret piercing along with orc teeth. She wears black and red clothing loosely framing her shoulders

I don't think I posted this Thaisha Lloy fanart up here, so here she is, the most beautiful woman in Araman

Reminder that the argument against GenAI has MULTIPLE points and all matter:

1. It is theft
2. It puts people out of work
3. It uses disproportionate resources
4. It removes artistic agency

Do not let someone go "but they don't do 1 and 2!" Distract you from the others

Hello 2026, I hope the new year has started well for you all!

When I was a kid, we moved around quite a bit. My current home might actually be the one where I’ve lived the longest, and occasionally I get this strange urge to look for new flats.

Last year I had the awesome honor of designing these looks for the Mighty Nein attending Fjord and Jester’s wedding! It was such a blast getting to draw these characters that I’ve loved for years now β€” and getting to play with so many shades of pink!! πŸŒΈπŸ’•

I am always shocked at the end of the year when I find out I actually drew at least one image a month

Half of these I havent actually posted online, either because I was experimenting or just didnt think it needed to be posted. But Im happy with how my art has gone this year!

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

A colour illustration in saturated reds, greens, and earth tones, showing Critical Role's Artagan (a handsome, impish archfey with fiery red hair) with a little Santa hat and a gently sly smile, sitting at a work bench and wrapping a struggling Spectator (like a D&D Beholder - the lite version) in gift wrap. At his feet are three similar wrapped presents, with some Spectator bits peeking out of a couple.

Spent the last week dramatically dying from a mild cold, so I think it's okay to recycle a little festive doodle from 2 years ago. Arty's evergreen anyway.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

we can't let our hostility to plagiarism and ripoffs slip even a little bit. I made that mistake with sandfall and I regret it

we have to push studios, channels, whatever, to be EXPLICIT in not using AI, whether it's an acknowledgement somewhere or just a statement. it isn't the default anymore.

This message is even more important for the creatives of the world. We must not give up or give in. The world needs us more than ever now even if it feels like they "might be winning"

They cannot effectively replace us and the general consumer is on our side. Keep making wonderful things.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Digital illustration by galacticjonah. The illustration shows Thjazi Fang on his death bed, covered in tributes by friends and family. Thjazi is an orc man with a greying beard and hair, dressed in a wine red shirt, lying in peaceful rest. Below the blankets covering him change into a banner that is catching flame. The banner shows a white falcon.

"I can still hear the falcon's cry. Do you?"

What a way to bring everyone together!! And boy does it feel kinda nostalgic to get lost in some fanart for a brand new episode...

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: 
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:
