An undead sysadmin finds some witches robbing his server tomb and gets a bit miffed. Originally a pencil sketch, which I scanned and pained with Krita. #digitalArt #spookyArt #fantasyArt

A man with a giant head, empty nose area and glowing eyesockets stands in a doorway, pointing and screaming "HAAAGS". He has unnaturally pale blue skin and white hair.

Initial sketch of an undead sysadmin who finds some witches invading his server room/tomb and calls them out for it. Pencil sketch with the lines redone in ink; I'll be painting this in with Krita at some point. #pencilArt #art #sketchArt

A man with an absurdly large head, empty eyes and nose sockets points at the viewer, screaming the word "HAAAGS".

Totally not taking Dr Hax of the GMOD Idiot Box and turning him into...this monstrosity.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

New early access chapter in my current piece, Salognia Sorcerers. The main characters burn off some excess magic ko-fi.com/post/Salogni... www.patreon.com/aceade/posts... #fantasy #urbanFantasy #writing

Cover art for Salognia Sorcerers, showing a bright and sunny canal in the Venice-like city of Salognia. Gondolas, a flying carpet and a broomstick travel in multiple directions in the background.

In the foreground, two pictures lie at an angle as though somebody is holding them up. One shows a soldier in a gas mask holding up a fireball. The one behind shows three kids in striped prison uniforms; these three kids are some allegedly unstable mages exiled to the city of Salognia for treatment.

Blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were never considered the equivalent of slop in the pre-AI. They were often low prestige forms of writing with less quality control than big publications, but nobody thought they were thoughtlessly mass produced. They were/are the labors of individual creators.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between these images. They're the same image. #alien #gmod #sillyScenes #fantasy

A staged scene in Garry's Mod. A Xenomorph from Alien leaps into the air, clutching its rear end as a fireball erupts from that area.

This took about ten minutes in Gmod, mostly dragging the ragdoll into place.

A troll leaps into the air and clutches its rear end, which has mysteriously burst into flames. The troll has a protruding lower jaw and four square eyes. An armoured train rolls though a snowy landscape in the background, with a beam of light or energy coming from a device on the roof towards the troll's flaming bum. Coincidence???

This took me around 2 hours in Krita after scanning in a pencil sketch.

In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.
