So, I've now remembered that this place exists. I am not the best at keeping up with multiple social media's, which is great in this day and age for an artist... 😅

Happy valentines day :3 ❤️💙 I had to draw my 2 squishies together, and as I did so, this happened to become the opening scene of the entire comic... Excerpt in the alt text #Armalucis #Webcomic #Fantasy #art

{A love that burns softly}

“Imagine it! A world where you and I can live like this, but out there! Maybe we could have our own tavern, or travel around Verdelmir, see all the things we’ve only heard or read about!”
*Oh Neri… It does sound like a lovely dream. But that’s all it is, an unlikely, no, impossible dream…*

I made New #Art! Decided to make a sectioned piece with each of the main cast of #ArmaLucis. I made it in about a week for a market stall I had recently, though I think I might make some bookmark versions next time. could be fun.

The 6 characters of the main cast of my comic Arma Lucis in sectioned portraits. Left to right - Pyrrhus, Nereus, Layla, Seren, Aaliyah, Connlan

Throwback to something worth repeating.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

My grievance with the notion of talent is how much it disempowers individuals and how deterministic it is — how it causes most to believe that there is an age limit to learning and developing skills, and most importantly, that it’s not as worthy of trying as a result

Its time for "Dawn finally remembered Bsky exists and she has art to show off" This time is the chibi drawings of my characters that I've been planning for months. Yes I did use this opportunity to make some design updates. you know how it is #ArmaLucis #Art

Ok I'm going to suggest a goal for everyone to try to accomplish right away: back up all of your files on an external hard drive or thumb drive. NOT the cloud! I mean on something you own not connected to the internet that some other company or person has control over.

A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok. gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign. Give no inch.

Day eight of #Taletober - Sword Another canon event :3 This is part of the ‘accepting the call’ story beat where Pyrrhus is given his sword back by Nereus. Story in alt text #Drawtober #Artober #Taletober2025 #Drawtober2025 #Artober2025 #OriginalCharacter #ArtChallenge #OctoberChallenge #ArmaLucis

“Pyrrhus stared at his sword conflicted as Nereus watched on. He lost this sword the day he went over the side of the boat and ended up in the Hidden Hollow. Apparently it had washed up not too long ago on the same beach he did back then. Perhaps it’s a sign from the gods that he must take up arms once again.”

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling. It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t. If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
