I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Finally wrapped up the rest of the squad.
Stripped the 5 I had painted a year ago and re-did them alongside the new models to have the full squad on the same level of quality

fanart of the android Guinevere, from the Knights of Guinevere animated serie
she's sitting, left arm resting on her right knee, parts of her body showing the metal underneath, half of her face ripped off while the other is just the face of a gorgeous woman
lots of cables and wires coming out of her - also blue intestines falling off her belly

screenshot of a twitter exchange, dated Sept 23 2024: 

@MaliceDaFirenze: We're making a game where you play a courier rier in 13th century Mongolia. No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this? (10k replies, 11k reposts, 131k likes)

@doodlewhale: I would love to, as long as it can avoid woke DEI nonsense which appears unlikely as you have pronouns in your bio (shrug emoji) (337 replies, 124 reposts, 10k likes)

@MaliceDaFirenze: For every comment like this, I will add one extra pronoun to the game. (2k replies, 700 reposts, 19k likes)

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

A two panel cartoon depicting the Egyptian god Anubis at a desk with a scale.

Panel 1: Anubis saying "YO WHADDUP, IT'S YA BOI ANUBIS, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SOUL UNBOXING VIDEO"

Panel 2: Anubis placing a tiny charlie Kirk on the scale with a feather, saying "NOW AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS ONE IS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN A FEATHER, WHICH LONGTIME VIEWERS WILL KNOW IS REALLY BAD HAHA"

An male half elf looking angry at the viewer while grabbing his own throat. Dark smoke emerges from his tattoos that cover his body. His eyes are glowing red.

It was time to give my #pathfinder2e character a ✨little✨ visual update and the result is just magnificent. Thank you @hindasavra.bsky.social for your great work! It was just amazing to work with you! ❀️

Plus, with the awesome rigging magic of @aarontechanim.bsky.social , the appeal looks even more brutal than just a neutral pose. :D

Almost ago 1 year ago I started getting into #Warhammer40k and painted my first Infernus Marine.
And now, one year later, I have finished painting a new Sergeant for my Infernus Squad.
Really proud of the jump in quality

I’m noticing the rate of alt text has gone down as this site grows. Alt text being expected is one way this site is better than Twitter was, because this community wants everyone to be able to groan at the screen cap from a piece by the awful pundit and appreciate our cat photos. Include everyone.

Read this.
If you produce or consume anything even vaguely creative, read this.

I am not asking you to read it, I am telling you.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.
