Nicely contoured roofing slates on a building in Haddington, East Lothian

Here’s a pleasing little section of roof slates I saw yesterday

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

I saw someone post a lovely landscape. Post something you do love about it that's distinct?

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Nimuë, The Lady of the Lake warlock patron makes her deals with the truly desperate... but she promises the power of the deep, dark waters, and - to the truly worthy - Excalibur itself.

So heads up this is straight porn.

But it's also a really good demonstration of a non-standard animation development process.

An illustration of a man as the Heirophant tarot. He has brown skin, short black hair, and gold eyes, and he wears light armor over a white and gold tabard. One hand is up while the other holds a greatsword with a jade blade, and a pair of wings spreads from his back and curls around in front. He sits on a stone chair over a gold and blue gradient background. A banner reading “THE HIEROPHANT” sits at the bottom of the image.

V ・ THE HIEROPHANT

Owain Llewelyn is known to the Church of the Silver Flame as Inquisitor Irael. A shifter, he hides his identity with a magical tattoo that presents him as a celestial, giving him a reputation as a chosen of the Flame and son of a Cardinal.

I made a little dragon for the Dragons exhibit currently on display at Vancouver aquarium

I see a lot of people mentioning everyday poses, which is great (carrying a heavy pot, climbing ladder, putting on shoes) but I personally have struggled to find what I thought were utterly normal hand/dialogue poses. Gesturing with one hand, fingers swept out, palm up, for example.

You dare mistake me, a majestic tiger, for a mere cat?
Something’s wrong with your sight, I’ll tell you that!
Let me lick those glasses of yours clean!
Quoth a tiger the size of a bean.

This was such a fun project to work on. Can't wait to read about these character's misadventures.

Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand

Hey if you're a bird photographer and you're using AI to "improve" your photos (like the image on the left, that changes the color of the bird, moves the eye, erases the tail, adds extra feathers that aren't there) know it makes me lose all respect for you, for just photo quality purposes alone.

I give up on the scan for now, forgot what a nightmare this blue is to match but please enjoy this photo of my new drawing:

Let's cheese it.

Also just TONS of memento mori and references to impermanence.

An interesting theme in Marko's tattoos, whether conscious on his part or not, is that they tend to feature systems that failed him. Love, fate, justice, religion, mysticism, his own body - even Death (which didn't do him the courtesy).

He's also a edgy little thing, and they reflect that too.

An eyeball with a rose thrust through it, as if shot by an arrow. It drips blood from the wound.

Ok I'm actually a little proud of this dumb thing.

Another bash-up tattoo to go on Marko's 3D model - though in this case while the rose is a heavily edited stock image the eyeball itself is all mine.

I may add some thready veins when I get back home and have more brushes.
