πŸ“Œ Hey, I'm Loren! I'm a concept artist and illustrator from Spain, and here's some of my #art!

A small birdman with purple-pointed feathers scampers off to the side of an armed gunman. The birdman's right-hand fingers steal bullets from the gun while it's still in the gunman's hand, while the left hand seemingly goes out on the right side of the picture to reappear on the opposite side, blindsiding the gunman and pickpocketing his walkie-talkie.
The birdman ties his back-plumes into a bun with a red band, and wears orange-tinted bubble glasses, a black and gold scarf, a belt with big pockets, and a sleeveless tactical jacket. The gunman is bald and wears jeans and a grey high-collar track jacket over a red shirt. The gun hand and the pocket with the walkie-talkie are both framed in red-hot comic panel frames.

A monstrous bird-like creature standing on its hindlegs and screaming. The creature has violet wings with thick, osseous, blade-like dark pseudo-feathers with pulsating veins running through them.
The creature's corvid beak opens unnaturally as a fanged maw, shining a bright light from inside the large throat. A bright violet aura is emitted from the creature's sound, like a soundwave or a halo.
The creature sports a massive wishbone, and under its belly, multiple faces and vestigial arms grimace and claw around. The monster has a large, crostacean-like tail ending with a fan of black feathers.
Beyond the creature there's a grey wasteland under blue-violet, iridescent skies.

A muscular man-bird hybrid kneels under the starry sky. The creature has rows of incandescent, quasi-metallic muscular fibers, glistening with light. Each knuckle of the hands bears a miniature black hole. The creature has a massive beard and mane, flaming like a cloud of plasma, or a orange-white nebula. The creature has reverse-jointed feathery legs and massive talons, and a large fanned tail with blue feathers, marked with a pattern of incandescent white-orange rings, similar to a disk of accretion, or making the equivalent of an eye. The creature has a square halo behind its head, and various golden circles and orbit designs appear around its head and its raised hand. The face of the creature is black, its eyes are beady and bright like stars, and its nose long and beaky.
In the starry sky over the creature, some stars are covered by a massive black hand, so massive to cover entire galaxies and use some stars as jewelery: a ring and a bracelet.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

β€œHistory was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER

okay real quick 🧡: why AI is definitely going to explode and die, because of the last two times this happened: the dot-com bubble, and enron.

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the PokΓ©mon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional mixed media painting showing a forest scene. There's a stream in the middle, with a fallen tree trunk acting as a bridge over it, with Pikachu and Eevee running through it, and Charmander clinging to the trunk behind them. In front of them, Bulbasaur stands on a rock in the stream, with Squirtle splashing around in the water, the two enjoying themselves. Various bug Pokemon can be seen in the distance: Weedle, Kakuna and Caterpie on trees, and two Butterfree flying around.

Traditional illustration in watercolor and acrylic. It shows a little black cat sitting under a red torii gate, surrounded by trees. It’s a bright and sunny day, with dappled lights and shadows falling everywhere.

A reference sheet for my oc Rdeza. It includes a side profile, a zoom-in on her eyes and a full body drawing. She is a pale woman with reddish-brown straight hair and orange eyes. She is dressed in a dress made out of leaves and has two pairs of wings on her back - one moth-like and one of a dragonfly.

The same drawing as above but the shiny version. The darker purple/grey fur has been replaced with blue, and the brown snout and belly has been replaced with beige. The colour palette has been changed to reflect this.
