An image of the lighthouse from Monument Valley 3. The image is split into 3 horizontal colour bands, each representing a time of day.

Made another bird plushy! I figured out a more invisible hand sewing method and I used a super soft fabric

my girlfriend showed me her childhood yu-gi-oh collection and she has BULE-eyes white dragon!! super rare, much better than the vastly inferior Blue-eyes white dragon

the most valuable art will be obviously or provably human/handmade stuff. People will naturally flock to it and search it out. Just like people hold rubies to a higher value than amethysts. Even if there is barely any difference between them

AI slop devalues itself because of the built it fact that it is extremely accessible and easy to produce. Our assignment of value to art and jewellery is based on rarity and the difficulty of its sourcing.

I watched a video recently about how Amethysts used to be considered the most valuable jewel. Then they discovered a giant stash of them and all of a sudden they are basically worthless.

the funny thing about generated AI stuff is that it will always be associated with slop. No matter how "good" it gets, there will be so much low effort slop out there that it will be unable to escape that tainted association

thanks!! :D

a few behind the scenes of this illustration. fun fact the fuzzy framing background texture is from a zoomed in picture of a Labubu. no one had the required brainrot to guess it

if time travel was invented in the future there would have been a bunch of future versions of me hanging out with me and my dog when she was still alive and I never saw that so I guess time travel never exists

I have been in the industry 14 years now and have been part of 14 games and many of them and my personal work can be seen on my portfolio and I'm available for environment work in the UK, Here is some work for 4 of them titles.
