Radiolaires | rather a cyborg than a goddess

I am. I was not sure given everything that happened but I'm still inspired by this universe and it is a great way to practice watercolors again after an eternity

Might as well share the experiments

Watercolor painting of a man in a dark place playing the flute. He wears hair to his shoulders, a cape and a focused frown. Dark inhuman hands are reaching out to him. In the distance a triangular opening into the light shows three figures looking back at him, one with a long blade on a staff and a hat, the other carrying the last person.

Trying something a little different this year: watercolor + Inktober + WoTtober. Here's hoping it sticks

Here is Thom merged with Noal sacrificing himself in the Ghenjei tower because that would have been a brilliant ending for this storyteller

Closeup on Moiraine's face, showing the intensity of her gaze. The blue silhouettes of Rand and Nynaeve frame her face on each side.

Close-up of Moiraine's face

Digital painting of Moiraine's face and shoulders. She appears emerging from orange flames with blue accents. Her hands are open before her, weaving saidar in the shape of a cat's cradle figure picturing two fish separated. Around her head, blue weaves are drawing silhouettes of characters : Rand walking, Nynaeve channelling, Egwene kneeling, Mat hanging and Perrin running with a wolf as his mirror on the other side of Moiraine's head. She looks straight at the audience with intensity as orange embers and specks of blue dance around her.

We need more art of Moiraine as one of the Moirai actually.

I might as well post it here as well

Breathtaking work. The emotions and colours are just so good. It looks like a sunset

My Art Siuane Sanche and Moiraine Damodred from Wheel of Time show, sharing a kiss in their late afternoon sun bathed hut. They are in the middle of mending a red net that is laid across their arms.

Finally finished this piece, despite the s3 ending :|

Microsoft can't protect French data from US government access Company admits under oath that American authorities can demand European citizen information despite security promises.

“When asked directly whether he could guarantee under oath that French citizen data would never be transmitted to US authorities without explicit French authorization, [Microsoft France's director of public and legal affairs Anton] Carniaux responded: ‘No, I cannot guarantee it.’”

youtube commentary on AI is blowing up and that rules i love it lots of thoughtful discourse, but it frustrates me how much my primary problem with AI companies is never addressed? These are tech companies that would NOT EXIST without metric tonnes of uncompensated labor used without consent.

The Wheel of Time season 3 review: A bold, rich and complex serving of magic Any minor flaws are easy to forgive in the stunning follow-up.

💬“Refreshing to watch a series that has no intention of underestimating its audience.”

Fantasy that dares to be bold, complex, and magical. Let’s give it the future it deserves.

The thing that artists rarely talk about is that you always fail at what you want to do with your art, but you gotta pick yourself up and try again. Failure is an implicit part of the process, and you always get a little better each time

Illustration of a group of characters drawn in a cartoon, midcentury-style. They are at pride and the whole piece is a rainbow gradient with the characters in different colours. A sign held by the character at the top says “none of us are free until all of us are free”

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨

Worth stressing that this, like all AI misery, is not inevitable. Don’t use AI tools. Do use community driven pages, and support them along with people who are making art instead of content. Your life will instantly improve, and you’ll be ahead of the game when the bottom falls out on AI slop.

This is so powerful I gasped. I cannot wait to see the complete version

Work in progress, rough sketch aiming for this: A powerful, ethereal woman floats mid-air, wearing a flowing royal blue dress stained with blood down the front. Her arms are outstretched, also bloodied, and glowing magical circles hover near her hands and behind her head like radiant halos. Her long, wavy brown hair billows outward, and she gazes forward with a fierce, unyielding expression. The background is a mystical sky of soft blues and purples, with golden light and crackling energy swirling around her feet.

So this is the #WiPWeekend sketch born during my chill and rest stage of holidays.

We are all okay, okay.

Reading sci-fi and fantasy classics written by men is so funny because no matter how good they are they always write women like that and oh dear

Contrast that to how Le Guin writes men

Getting major queer vibes from Aoi, Oroshi, Caracole and Pietro. I know I should not hope because the book dates back to 2004 but I'm dreaming, okay?

My mind reels when I reflect on the amount of life-altering stories I am missing by not speaking all the languages and not living eternally

I am losing my mind. I've just started La Horde du Contrevent by Alain Damasio, it is so stupendously good I need to scream with other people about it, except it apparently only has been translated from french to italian

An illustration of a bunch of catfish and koi swimming in greenish murky waters. The bright orange red of the koi contrasts the darker purplish tone of the catfish, their thrashing creates ripples on the surface of the water and the sun scatters bright spotted highlights across the pond.

Sketch of a humanoid creature with short grey and orange fur, looking like a fox with a short muzzle. Their black chops are stretched in a rictus, showing sharp, irregular teeth. Their orange eyes stare with a manic expression.

#SaveWot because we have watched only a portion of the unique, existential horror the books are so good at

Also the freaky funky furries are the best

The upside of AI slop slowly rotting every corner of our entertainment is that it's making me reconsider with a kinder eye what I used to consider guilty pleasures: as cringe as some were, at least it was made with human hands and a human heart, and that makes them infinitely more essential

Now That One of Prime Video’s Best Fantasy Shows Has Been Cancelled, Another Streamer Needs To Continue the Story The Wheel needs to keep turning somewhere else.

📢 Collider makes the case loud and clear: The Wheel of Time deserves a new home! Apple TV+? Netflix? Somewhere this story can be finished.

🌀 “It would be a shame to end it now.”
