I knew it was only a matter of time till someone had a bone to pick with me about that :c

skeletony dragon

Tibia honest, I'm just winging it, I don't know a skeleTON about skeletons, resulting in a bit of a bone-dry, bare-bone drawing. uwu

A black dragon with flame smoldering in its mouth and lines of magma burning between its scales spreads mighty wings as it emerges from the ocean. Water spirals and froths, rising at opposite edges of the panel with the massive displacement of the dragon rising. The rib supports of its wings are thick and spiked, but the flesh between is tattered and showing through at the edge of its wings. A cloud of orange billowing smoke rises behind. Lines of fiery debris launch in random directions. A spire of rock rises from the ocean as a tiny figure perches atop faces the massive beast.

Tomorrow (March 4, 11am ET) we’re offering a pair of dragon paintings including a preliminary for DEATHWING from World of Warcraft as commissioned by Blizzard Entertainment.

A preview is now available for our paid subscribers on Substack:

Hewg: I believe in you. :) Take my weapon and slay a god!

me: I killed a god by throwing rocks at it, then realised I had the wrong talisman equipped and fell down a gap. :D

Hewg: god help us all…

mind the gap subway warning

I died from overlooking a gap in the floor a few moments after the fight. Dragon didn't kill me, failing to mind the gap did!

Digital painting in procreate. A big maple tree during fall season. The leaves are foxes. In front of the tree is a small pond and to the left a japanese stone lantern. A small frog is hidden in the picture.

everybody knows that having 80k today is unrealistic. uwu

the economy's hitting everyone hard these days. I used to get scam texts offering me loans for 80k, now they're only offering me 39k

:'D I kinda get that any meds that help you feel less stressed are highly addictive.

On the downside, while it CAN explain a lot, I also encountered it as an explenation when doctors did not want to figure a severe symptom out that later turned out to be very much not stress related. I know people with whole now diagnosed epilepsy, that was "just stress" for the longest time.

Sorry, that one probs was misunderstood. :D I'm well aware of the effects of stress and always try to tell people not underestimate the effects it can have on the body. :D The Tinitus one just caught even me by surprise. XD

*playing Dark Souls and Elden Ring to relax*

'ELLO FRIENDS, GUESS WHO LEARNED TODAY THAT YOU CAN GET TINITUS FROM STRESS

I am so sorry for having opened your eyes to this specific possibility. XD

Oh, you might wanna check what YT has to offer on the topic of "Hiding in plain sight" in Dark Souls. XD I think you will like that. Even though it goes into the very direction on why I don't wanna play while online. XD

You know, whenever I'm embered in Dark Souls 3 I turn off online mode. The idea of being invaded by a streamer and being shite at that game in front of possibly thousands of people for as long as the file of that stream exists is terrifying.

Ironically I have this huge monstera next to my coffee table and just today morning I was looking at it and thought to myself that I completely fumble monsteras, especially considering I have the real deal refs so close. XD But thank you! <3

The best kind of unplanned~. :D

Random painting of leaves and a creature sitting under them

There is something incredibly fun about just grabbing a piece of cardboard and a bunch of colours I like right now, and do whatever~.

Colorful Digital illustration of Moominvalley in the springtime-- Moomin and Snufkin sit contentedly in a field of flowers in the foreground as Snufkin plays his harmonica. They lean against each other with their eyes closed. In the background Sniff, Snorkmaiden, and Little My run through the flowers, while Moominpappa and Mooinmamma enjoy some tea. Alicia the witch is flying down over the misty background mountains alongside a flock of birds migrating back for the spring.

It's almost springtime again in Moominvalley~

Huge difference between using procedural generation and generative AI. Anything that requires the works of thousands of artists for free to just be able to function can fuck right out of the window of the 27th floor.

I'm not talking about Machine Learning in general. All GenAI is ML, but not all ML is GenAI. Use it for fraud detection, disease detection, early cancer diagnosis, smart assistance for people with handicaps… There are so many positive uses!

Generative in a game ain't one of them.

All GenAI. Period. I don't give a flying fuck about mimimi how other options would have been more complicated, more expensive, more time consuming. They consciously choose to use GenAI? I choose to hate them and their product. <3

All. all genAI. And anybody who uses it. <3 Fuck them all. Hate them by default and blindly.

They don't pay for the skill they use, so we don't pay for what they do with it. Simple as that. <3

i need to rembmer to post my art here too!

here's to a fruitful 2024!

Hm, her clothes do not look very good on my character. :C
