Idk I wanna learn and do art but all the AI stuff and doing enough 3d at work has me satisfied. I continue to struggle to really click with drawing for myself and at clay maybe clay is the right balance of new and old and physical. All in due time I suppose.

Been over a week since I’ve stopped art doing outside of work and it’s been nice. Haven’t felt the pressure but also am slowly gaining the urge back. I know at the very least any new art won’t be digital maybe at least but not for a while. Am tired.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

this also happened in the county north of Austin and caused some fuckery but it tends to lean a bit more red than the center of dallas

Wow! The energy at the polls is undeniable! We're seeing voters turn out in record numbers across the state.

This shows what we’ve always known: Texas is ready for change!

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval β€” which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Old pieces from a project that never went anywhere, but I'm still quite proud of!

The spirits of ruined or broken artifacts, trinkets, objects once cherished that time forgot (plus sketches and dev because I'm a concept artist and I like sharing that part too)

anyone else go thru and delete a lot of brushes out of the standard ones zbrush loads in? feel like with every big update the brush palette gets bloated more and more with like 1-2 decent brushes and a lot of extra stuff you'll never use

This is why I’m on the side of naming these cute co-op games not friendslop. let slop be mean and reserved for this and other AI ventures.

What the fuck are you talking about

The "character" debuted a year ago has appeared in one (1) sketch that was all AI slop and couldn't even Crack a million views on YouTube in 8 months. This is the most artificial, forced marketing push I've ever seen and NBC is just happily gobbling it up.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
