Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Nozomi, a freelance illustrator! I love working on anything fantasy themed. 📧nozomi.matsuoka@yahoo.com ✏️https://cara.app/nozomi
A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him. 

This was a commission work done for JacenLandryCommission work done for YeetMaur

A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo. A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats. Fanart of Avatar Kyoshi from Avatar: the Last Airbender

A woman wearing green robes, white and red face paint, and a gold, fan-like headdress with tassels, lies down in shallow water with a tired look on her face. Surrounding her in the water are lilypads and a few boulders and rocks. Also floating near her are two golden folding fans.

Digital artwork. It is a wedding scene, the bride and the groom are both dressed in white and gold, they are surrounded by knights in armor holding their swords above the couple to form an arch. There is a flower arch behind them and flower petals are flying in the air.Digital artwork, fanart of a game "The Talos Principle 2". A robot of red and white colors named Byron is suffering from some kind of malfunction while touching a computer panel. He is on his knees, not able to free his hand. In the distance another robot named 1K is rushing to help, but he is too late. They seem to be inside of a huge artificial structure, but the floor is filled with water, Byron and the computer panel are located on an island of rocks with some pine trees and plants.Digital illustration. It's autumn, the day is gray, the leaves on trees and on the ground are golden yellow. A young woman sits under the tree at the edge of a forest and casts a spell - glowing golden magic around her, it's an illusion of a lot of things and characters, she seems to tell a story. Near her is a black horse that looks at the magic in awe. A cat sneaks behind the tree and looks at them too. Far in the background is a small town with colorful houses and some colorful fields near it, some light shines through clouds and lightens the town.Digital artwork, fanart of the game "Baldur's Gate 3". Illustration of two mind flayers walking and holding tentacles instead of holding hands. The mood is calm and romantic.

If you want some good news moving into the holidays, Ed has you covered. Do you remember the UK consultation from Dec 2024- Feb 2025? It took then almost a year to read through the 11 500(!) respondents. 95%(!!!) Of respondents rejected the government's proposal of an unworkable "opt-out" scheme.

AI companies use algorithms to subtly influence and manipulate your thoughts and desires, shaping you into an ideal consumer. When an egomaniacal billionaire clumsily puts his finger on the scale, you get MechaHitler. This centralization of power and filtering of information is bad.

Meta needs all the training data and talent it can get, but has no money to license copyrighted works for AI training. They instead use everything on Instagram and Facebook, and potentially in the future: directly from your camera roll.

All of Meta's denials ultimately boil down to 'we are not CURRENTLY training AI on your camera roll'. AI training should require clear and enthusiastic consent, not buried in the ambiguity of "will they/won't they".

It is not a job for artists to ensure that AI companies can exist. They must fight to exist playing by the same rules as everyone else. Company innovation can happen on many fronts, be it technological, legislative or licensing. But if a business is built on theft, there is no saving it.
