How our entire political class is so hopelessly inept at anything resembling competence and forward thinking, is something that will continually baffle me.

We can't... It's impossible. Every new human is totally unique and wired completely different to the ones that came before. Even the instruction manuals are contradictory.

What the hell are you doing?! Please... I am just one small voice on a social media site... But I beg you not to do this.
There are better ways to spend that money... Understand that this technology is not the wonder tool you have been convinced it is.

You can have that one... My only price is that I get to work on the art ;)

I'd love to see a game that looked like that, where you play as a Gerry Anderson style puppet.

I was going to dispute the dodgy knee thing... But no... You are absolutely right... My hip is looking a bit iffy too these days...

I've started to subscribe to "Fortress buyers monthly" in preparation... I've only got 4 years, I need to be ready!

It's amazing how overlooked the other disciplines actually are. Even when the credits are front and center, it's amazing how invisible those jobs can be sometimes.
It shouldn't be that way, line art can be totally elevated by the right colourist and letterer.

Comic style illustration of Santa leaping across a rooftop while lightning strikes behind him. Similar to the cover of The Dark Knight Returns.

Hullo everyone.
Professor Elemental is not on Bluesky... However, I did just design the album cover for his latest release so it falls on me to give it a bit of a kick over here.

You can find the album here (It's a lot of fun) : professorelemental.bandcamp.com/album/new-ye...

You honestly don't need it, you never did and contrary to what anyone else tells you, it is not making you any more productive.

AI should not be used for any part of the creative process. This includes Ideation.
To use AI at that stage is killing a really important part of your creative cognition.
It is NOT the same as looking at picture reference... you're basically looking at a copy of a copy made out of copies.

Also... If you are using it for reference... You are killing a really important part of your creative cognition. Your reference is not a real thing, it's a copy built on copies of copies.

I would absolutely watch... Or make myself actually to be honest... It would make a great comic book.
