Fishersnakes are active hunters, and the only creature agile enough to take down Porcupuffers without getting stabbed. They use the tentacles on the ends of their snout to detect faint movements in water, and can unhinge their jaws to swallow large prey whole. 🦦 #Art #creatureDesign

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Frankenstein was the fuel I did not know I desperately needed. Inspiring, hopeful and loving of the many brilliant crafts that went to passionately make this movie. A story teller’s dream. @realgdt.bsky.social and crew have truly created a beautifully haunting and unforgettable film!

I'm usually quiet here, but I just wanted to say that I had the honour of working on Jurassic World Evolution 3! It was an insane experience and I worked with a team full of incredible people. I concepted the adults and juveniles of these three which is still madness. I hope everyone enjoys! 🦖✨

I'd like you all to meet Hazir, the Mercurial Dread. The first ancient white dragon in my world building project/DND campaign 'Hearth' And happy new year everyone!

An image showing an ancient white dragon with a sharp featured face, black claws, large white wings, and a line of curved white spikes running down its spine. The text reads: "When the first snow covered the frozen north of Wistryl, she was the first to sink her long black claws into the glacial ground. She was the first white dragon to stalk the skies and establish herself as the apex predator. She is the embodiment of the coldest most bone-chilling temperatures the northern most continent of Talir has to offer. Her breath is like a blizzard, her voice like an avalanche, and her presence like the most frigid depths of the frozen silent sea. She who is known as the silent death, the white reaver, the alabastrine terror.
Her oldest and original name is Hazir, the Mercurial Dread. Queen of the polar wilds."

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Way too many people hear “language model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.

If you want to see dire wolves, the place to go is LA’s La Brea asphalt seep. Thousands of individuals were trapped and preserved there, a view of populations over time and unique moments. The collection even includes a broken, healed, Aenocyon dirus baculum from what was surely a dire moment. 🧪

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 JacenLandry

Commission 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.

Commission work done for Lemongraceful

A pale nightelf with long white hair, ghostly glowing blue eyes with dark veins framing them, and a scar across her mouth, stands facing the viewer with a fierce expression on her face, as she holds a spectral glowing blue sword hovering above her hands. She wears a dark cloak, and a dark tabard, with armor on her shoulders, chest, hips, and forearms, as well as claw like finger armor.
The background is of a ruined temple, with broken stained glass and broken statues, with blood on the steps leading up to an altar. Flowers hang from the ceiling, and ivy crawls up the ancient walls.

A girl dressed in rough peasant garb kneels in the middle of a small clearing in a dark forest, tears in her eyes as she reaches up with both of her hands. A hand reaches out from the right of the image, holding a pendant that (possibly) belonged to the girl.

This image was commissioned by Ghostfire Gaming, Art Directed by Matt DeMino
