I fear that there's gonna be a whole new spectacular array of Darwin Award winners in the coming years because some people will blindly follow flawed AI instructions and/or advice.

Hope you feel better soon, Yura. I'm sorry you've had a difficult time recently.
I'm glad you made art, excited to see it!

Yesterday a video for a 3D game that was all hand drawn planes appeared on my feed. It looked super nice and the devs were having fun. But as I was at the day job I didn’t have time to like it/bookmark it and now it’s lost.

Anyone hit me up with what it was?

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be.

Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that β€œthis stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

Could really use help spreading the word. Our new Kickstarter is in pre-launch and we are flying under the radar.

Inheritance is a mix of Watchmen, Succession, Starter Villain, Knives Out and Noble Causes. A family drama wrapped in a supervillain thriller.

Do you think it will become evident to editors & publishers when a writer/artist has used AI? Will it become a job in of itself to spot when AI has been used in a submission?
I am fearful that creators, like me, who don't use AI will be at a disadvantage to those who have no respect for the craft.

Neglectful of me in the original post but @brenteanderson.bsky.social deserves credit too, of course. Highest quality work that brings the stories to life. Brent's art envelopes and surrounds the reader. I become a citizen of Astro City every time I open the book.

Cover of the comic book omnibus Astro City Metrobook 1 by Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross. It depicts the superhero Samaritan flying upwards with a city skyline behind him, a setting sun on the horizon.

I'm reading Astro City by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social for the 1st time & it's a revelation.
It feels real. Honest, human stories. Characters I can believe in and sympathise with. Stories that make my soul smile, wince, ache. Quality work. It should be mentioned in the same breath as the greatest comics.

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER

IT IS WORKING

CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF
