This trend was so wholesome. I hope more like them happen so that the art community can become a kinder place

screenshot of a tumblr post from user โ€œwildmanstersโ€

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

White people who run a Sonic channel that clearly has a deep love for Dragon Ball, or vice versa, should be counted as honorary Latinos

Mikusa document This is my first time making an AI callout post, so I want to make sure to include as many details as possible so there isnโ€™t any confusion. This situation has caused me so much distress, itโ€™s drained...

Figured I'd share this here but theres an account on twitter called A.Mikusa and theyve been posting ai generated content trained off of my art with insane success and profit, please share my story to get their account terminated- docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard

But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all

(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

Craving a Kingdom Hearts Musou just because it could give us a playable Lingering Will in an environment where he's not absolutely busted

Still one of my favorite commissions that I've done. Honestly would love to do more monster girl stuff in the future.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I just didn't think I'd have as little money as I had when I got back. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I should get paid around Friday so if you're still good for it I already know what I want.

hey remember earlier this month when one of their art directors quit and posted something along the lines of "don't sacrifice your principles for your job"

wonder what that was about

Finally picked up all 5 volumes of Tower Dungeon while in Japan after having it on my radar since launch and yes, it's pretty much everything I'd hoped for from Nihei. Very much feels like a "What if you combined Dungeon Meshi with Dark Souls" thing in the best way possible.

Only been back home for a day and I already miss Japan. Gonna make sure I'm in better shape and more fluent next time I go.

Time to draw those little fashion drawings I wanted to!... after I do a little recovering. ๐Ÿ˜›

Thinking about that Miyazaki quote about creators of anime nowadays being primarily people who just watch anime and not getting external influences outside of anime in comparison to Uematsu growing up deeply on prog, psychedelic, and electronic music.

Honestly starting game projects with like an Episode 0 at stupid cheap or free pricing before you make the game you actually want to make might be one of the best ways of testing the waters while building an audience for yourself. It's certainly been on the brain for the last few months.
