oh yeah babey it's Trungo Time. thank you so much @ascalaphid.com for this project it was so fun! . #sculpture #polymerclay #ocart #commission

Glamour shot of a sculpture in polymer clay and resin on a black wooden base. The sculpture is of Trungo, a humanoid character with 4 arms, clear wings, and a radially symmetrical head of fly faces. Trungo is teetering backward on one leg, holding 3 different alcoholic beverages and a cigarette. His trunk-like mouths and bulbous red eyes convey a series of expressions, all indicating drunkenness. He wears a touseled white button up, red tie, blue knit short sleeved jumper, brown slacks and leather shoes.

Another angle of Trungo. He is viewed from the side at an intense angle, the focus on a hand holding a glass of red wine perilously close to spilling, while one of his mouths reaches for the glass.

A close up shot of Trungo showing him tipping a small glass of amber liquid into one of his mouths.

A shot of Trungo from behind, showing his back pockets, where his wings connect into his back, and a mouth raised jubilantly into the air.

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back. Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.” 19thnews.org/2026/03/targ...

For many Black women, the Target boycott is not over. It may never be.

A faith leader announced the end of a yearlong “Target fast,” but many Black women who helped launch the boycott say the movement wasn’t his to call off.

woagh hello #portfolioday i didn't see you there. my name is Blue, my site is artbyblue.com, and i make scifi and fantasy illustrations for print and animation and maybe You.

Feminine Ideal, 2025, acrylics. A green, fairylike alien woman sits in a mountain range of huge floating peaks. She has 4 pairs of pink, insectoid wings on her back and 5 sprouting from her head. Her long, many- tendriled tongue wraps around the decapitated head of a man. He appears to be in his 50s, of European descent, with wispy blond hair.

Jellycat Snow Dragon and her Warrior Companion, 2025, acrylics on paper. A Heavy-Metal/Frazetta-inspired, 80s scifi-fantasy styled painting. A warrior woman, dark skinned and chubby, is scantily clad in spiky, twisting chrome armor. She rests in the mossy branch of a huge jungle tree, backlit by the setting sun. Beneath her, resting in the grass, an enormous fuzzy white plush dragon lays flat. She has earrings that match the Warrior's armor.

Grampa Improves A Bad Day, 2025, acrylics on paper. A little boy, around 10 with dark olive skin and brown hair, sits forlornly on a stone floor. Golden hour light hits him from above and behind, throwing his shadow across the snout of his companion, a massive, elderly golden dragon with scars, a blind eye, and twisting horns.

The Beneficence of Magic, acrylics on paper, 2025. Children and one adult of fantasy races clamber and race across misty mountains to beseech the massive Ty Beanie Baby dragon Magic, who nests in an abandoned mountaintop city with her babies.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Inktober 25 Day 3 image, "Crown": A soft but imposing member of a royal court displays a crown which rests upon a pillow.

If you ever run into a game that very clearly uses LLMs on @boardgamegeek.com, the best way to combat it is to tag it under “Family” as “AI Generated Illustration” It would be great if we had a category for generalized LLM usage—but at the least we can kick all of the garbage to the same space. 🎲✂️

listen pal i don't care how "great and powerful" you are, that thing is at least a dozen segments over street legal, and it just destroyed a crate of good seasonal fruit! made for @ascalaphid.com 's latest Art Telephone game, more info below Prints: www.artbyblue.com/store/that-t...

A large acrylic painting showing a busy city street populated by anthropomorphic insects. The scene takes place in the lower city, while the richer and more pristine upper city extends up the mountain in the background. It is late afternoon/early evening, and the colors are dramatic, with warm light and sharp cool shadows. At the center of the image, a yellow weevil in wizard robes and hat rides a massive, rearing millipede. He shrugs dramatically at an angry wasp on the ground in front of his steed, whose hands are raised antagonistically. A few feet away, on the ground, is a spilled crate of red fruits. Many insect onlookers watch on from street level, balconies, and flying above.
