Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny
Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data centersome AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Hey artists! Quote with your pink art :) 🌸💖✨
A digital illustration of two characters in armor standing on a grassy cliff edge overlooking a vast expanse of lowlands. A title in a dark font sits in the top left corner: "Fractal Alliances - Little Golden Age (1994-2006)." The title references a section in the Fractal Alliances anthology (which currently exists primarily as a very big outline).

The two characters are Ev Stark and Fin Heran. Ev, with short-cropped hair in this illustration, is in blue, red, and gray Aetherian armor. THey are also holding a standard-issue blaster, and have two hilts sticking out of their back holster (they're non-specific because they're Magically Concealed Weapon (MCW) hilts). Ev is standing behind Fin, mostly facing the valley, but they have their face turned to look over Fin's shoulder at him.

Fin is wearing standard medium-level Talkian armor, which comes in shades of brown and metallic gray, detailed with Talkian red. While Ev is in full armor, covered from the neck down, Fin's armor leaves his arms mostly bare except for arm bands and vambraces. He is holding a sword in one hand, which is lowered towards the ground, and in his raised hand there is a simple gray blaster. He has another sword strapped to his back. Fin's hair is also on fire, as it is prone to doing.

The color palette of this piece is a mix of purples, pinks, and oranges. It feels vaguely like a shot taken at sunset.

EFHA headshot refs ( ft. the guy that gives me a headache bc I can’t decide whether or not he should really be a part of this story ) #art #ocs #brokendimensions
A series of 6 digitally sketched headshots for characters for a prospective project called Escape From Hell’s Aisles (yes, the spelling of “aisle’s” is deliberate).

Riven: The first character is a blond white androgynous kid with bright teal eyes and a stern, determined expression. They are wearing a high-necked blue tunic with no sleeves.

Carric: The next character (to the right) is a purple-skinned Tartarun woman with several short horns and blue eyes. She looks vaguely worried about something. She is wearing a purple scarf and gray armor. There is a dark scar on her right cheek and above her eye.

Ambrose: The third character (down and to the left) is a dog man with brown fur, a big red flannel, and a pauldron on one shoulder.

“Dave:” The fourth character is a white, red (orange) haired man with green eyes and sideburns. He is wearing a blue tunic like the Riven’s, in addition to dark blue overalls.

Mable: The fifth character is a red-skinned woman with graying green hair and glowing green eyes. She is wearing some kind of shoulder holster, and red version of the long-sleeved tunic Dave wears.

“Will:” The last character is a brown man with long, curly black hair pulled into a high ponytail. He is wearing a mask that covers half his face. He has glowing red-purple eyes, and is wearing another kind of shoulder holster, in addition to shoulder pauldrons.

someday I want to go through and remake everything I put in my BFA portfolio back in 2021, but still pretty fond of this one, so it’ll be complicated feelings-wise for me to redo it 🥲 it’s a scene from FA: Finale that has since been scrapped, where amnesiac Fin uncovers his old board of memories
A digital illustration of a man with pointed ears and a devil’s tail pulling down vines and glowing white flowers from a big bulletin board in some kind of study. The board has Polaroid photos, blueprints, and notes stuck up all across it. There’s a big bookcase to the character’s right, and it has books, plants, boxes, and a glowing blue jar on it. Vines and flowers cover the floor.

a silly (and unfortunate) doodle about Ev and their two particular tormentors (Shas and Deis, who hate them for different reasons) #sketches #art #ocs
A sketch of three characters’ faces with arrows and notes denoting their relationship to each other. One is a masked figure with a gladiator-style crown, red markings, and flowy hair. He (Shas) has a placid, frustrated expression smile plastered on, and looks really annoyed. The middle character has orange stripes on their face and looks confused (Ev). The third character (Deis) is also wearing a mask and is looking at the middle character like he would watch them being torn apart into shreds, piece by piece, and find it entertaining.

The notes say that Ev hates Deis, but is TERRIFIED of Shas. Shas viscerally hates Ev. Deis has a rather toxic “affinity” of sorts for making Ev suffer. Another note points out Shas is plotting mass murder 24/7, and Deis is there to help—but only if it garners him more power. (And he’s in it for fun too, because he’s a massive sadist.) Meanwhile, Ev didn’t ask for any of this.

On the side there are notes about 2 other characters, Liarre and Garris, who aren’t shown. Liarre is also called a sadistic bastard, but for him is more about politics and being anti-Pantheon (essentially he’s an atheist in a world with proven and involved deities). Garris is noted as being in it for the clout, and to cause maximum damage to those she deems “lesser than.” They also fuck with Ev a lot.

TLS - sketch page: Sal Aldavis just realized I never posted this other sketch page I finished ages ago! It’s my favorite of that batch too lol Sal is based on a series of characters I used in an old iteration of Lycanthra, and he’s very fun. #art #sketches #oc #thelycanthrasyndicate
A digital art sketch page featuring a blonde, tan-skinned living android (basically a highly advanced robot with a soul) with a long thin tail and rabbit-like ears. He has a green bomber jacket, a red blaster at each hip, and combat boots with green details and laces. He is smoking a joint. The whole theme of the page is green.

Notes across the page talk about how Sal came to the Lycanthra Syneicate as a refugee and was reached from a branch of the Archian Mind realer Guild. It talks about his siblings (of choice) too, and how he forms a sub-group called the Salvaged Remnants (which is how he got his name, not the other way around). The Remnants later become a useful surveillance group and local ally to Lycanthra, which they consider their parent organization.

Another note also talks about how Sal revolutionizes (Lycanthra-made) living android body types, configuration types, and related sex prosthetics. Voaden knows him as the leader of the Remnants, but any LA who gets a new body mod after he starts working for Lycanthra knows him as the guy who figured out how to make, model, and personalize body frames, personal code, and sex prosthetics (for those who want them) on a newly advanced level.
