One thing I always feel I never find enough of in games is bustling, vertiginous fantasy cities. When they do appear they are so often dead or ghoul infested. I would love to play more games that had living cities I could wander.

#DaxDrawsDaily Ended up with something bizarre here. Started by testing pen tools, discovered the "liquify" tool and ran it over some scribbles and then decided to try filling the results in with colors. I imagine this is some kind of avian alien ambassador as viewed by Hunter S. Thompson.

#DaxDrawsDaily Put the photo-trace project on hold for a bit, wanted to get back to just learning and experimenting with tools and getting used to the stylus. Played around with the chalk/charcoal tools, blurred it down then added some weird geometry. Getting weird with shapes is my passion. 😅
Various blobs of color using simple chalk and charcoal drawing tools.Using the previous color-blobs as a background and running over it with a blur tool, I played around with the geometric/shape tools to see what I could make. Chaotic geometry on top of simple colors is a theme I've enjoyed before.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Trying to make a bit more progress with this photo-tracing idea I have for #DaxDrawsDaily today, but keep running into issues with this software, trying to figure out how to apply some real simple stuff without jumping through 6 tools and 10 menus. More details in the alt-text.
This is one of the first photos I ever took as a kid of my dad's junky car and the old neighborhood cat. I'm trying to trace over the cat and the car to re-draw certain elements. The trace outlines are on another layer, so once I've traced everything I can delete the photo and try draw using just the traced parts. Added a large watermark on this image because I do love this photo and would hate to see it stolen by an AI slop-machine without attribution.

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

Got busy today after work and didn't have much time for art. Trying to play around with layers in this program, specifically for trying to trace an old photo to re-trace it. Also trying to figure out transparencies and layers for the sake of watermarking, so this image was the result:
An old black and white photo, obscured by my pfp after trying to make it an image watermark but failing to find a way to change its transparency.

The problem with your company being ran by pilled reactionaries is that when you run into an actual problem, the only response is more pilled reactionaryism.
"Trump mobile was informed they had been breached, they then replied with 'We have no team to handle this' and that anyone who hacks them are a terrorist," the group wrote "Well unfortunately for them, all 36 1 5 customers and their PIl, alongside telecom details are now up for grabs. Feel free to take a gander at it yourself, don't be shy, we (and them) certainly aren't stopping you."

Experimenting with the various watercolor/paint tools today. I've kind of wanted to get into painting despite my color-blindness just because I'm color-blind; I want to see what other people make of it. Also discovered the blur tool and may have used it a bit too much. #DaxDrawsDaily
