Zelda’s face looking so much like the concept art has my heart so full y’all that style defined my childhood

It's been almost 10 years since I've done a complete oil painting or watercolor and that hit me like such a brick wall. I miss it! I miss traditional media!!

Headed to Gencon! It’s going to be so much fun! I’ll be doing free 7 minute live-sketches from 10:30 - 1:30 every day at booth 1109 🥰 look for the giant one ring and get a free card to take home!

Nothing supports how important exercise is like not being able to do it 😮‍💨 I injured my tailbone, and it’s only been a week that I haven’t been working out. Going from 50m-2h a day to nothing has me so freakin sleepy and foggy 😴 and I’m suddenly sore in my joints when I wasn’t at all before. Weird

digital painting of a ghost and an angel by a fountain. The ghost is a see-through specter, wearing a long dress and she is putting down a sealed letter on the fountain she's sitting on. An beautiful angel with butterfly wings, wearing a ghostly dress, is putting her arm around the ghost's shoulder with a reassuring expression. They seem to be heading somewhere.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results.
This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.
The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
We need people to:
1. "buy" the book (it's free)
2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book.
That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Coo coo

We see two house sparrows drinking out of a puddle. The male says to the female: "Good puddle!" to which she replies "I love you but you have low standards". Pigeons arrive in the background, the female says "Ope! Here comes the herd" There is a long horizontal frame of the two sparrows in the midst of a bunch of pigeons cooing around them. The male then says "gentle giants" the female agrees "mhm" and then says "coo" and the male responds "haha. coo!"

If an artist tells you they trained their own GenAI, they're lying to you. It takes billions of pairs and hundreds of thousands of dollars in compute time to generate even the dumbest model. What they're doing is taking an existing model -- trained on stolen work -- and training it on their work.

A stain glass stylized depiction of Aragorn at Helms deep for office dog's Lord of the Rings the Two Towers Trick Taking Game. It is in gradient of blues, reds, and violets to depict a night scene. Aragorn wears a blue outfit with silver armor. His hair is blown back over his shoulders as he moves forward in a strike against an unseen foe

Merry and Pippin, in green cloaks, sit on the shoulder of Treebeard in the styling of stain glass for office dog's Lord of the Rings the Two Towers Trick Taking Game

The cover of office dog's Lord of the Rings the Two Towers Trick Taking Game. It depicts the eye of Sauron over a river pass and the two towers zoomed in on the sides.

Qrt with something watery! I never finished this intense moment from my D&D game. Umberlee sent us to Chult to figure out why her sunken souls were not being surrendered to her, and thus we were sent to solve the death curse!

My interpretation of the goddess umberlee as she assigns four adventurer assholes the task to solve the death curse. She is made of broken ships, kelp, and webbing. A large surge of waves breaks against her old temple that she placed the adventures in. The planting is teal, navy and green.
