If you love art in any form or consider yourself to be an artist or creative person, then you should be firmly against generative AI slop. Do not throw away your talent or throw other creative people under the bus because you want a shortcut.   AI is the antithesis of art.

Wanted to do textures and stuff today but I got sick in the middle of the night so that's being held off. May as well post what I made at least. #OC #Blender #Robotgirl
An untextured low-poly model of my OC Rene in Blender.

Got the spark to try sketching out a low-poly version of Rene for a model. Honestly loving how it's turning out already with just the sketch. #OC #Sketch #Robotgirl
A sketch for a low poly version of Rene with some squished/exaggerated features from her normal design. A big transparent WIP is drawn in front of her.

Had to do something when I saw this. This here's the super-mysterious vigilante, the Zapslinger! (I can't draw hats) #Robotgirl #OCSky #RobotOC #Robot #OC
A wild west cowboy (cowgirl?) version of Rene inspired by the quoted post. Her hair is down rather than her usual ponytail and her glasses have been replaced with something to look a bit more old west (at least to me). Her clothes are based off wild west outfits I looked up for this. She has a dark bandana covering the lower half of her face for super mysterious reasons!

I noticed an issue with my last post so I made a quick fix. (Her ears were too high up) I also gave the background some color which I think made this ref look nicer as a whole. #OC #RobotGirl #Robot #RobotOC #OCSky #OriginalCharacter
A new updated reference image of my OC Rene. The upper half has a full body drawing of her alongside her t-shirt graphic and a simple diagram of how her arms/legs work. While the lower half has up close looks at the front and side of her head. (Also her ears were fixed in this version)

a silly idea i had to quickly doodle
- the guy just happens to work near the nest of the nychora (moths)
- the nychora nurse is carrying a baby, and theres other babies squeaking for attention
- the nychora nurse has her hands full so she hands the guy one to hold onto for a moment- (from the point of view of the guy) he looks down at the baby nychora (which is really cute btw)
- hes elated that the nychora, which are usually very protective of their young, trust him enough to hold one

I finally got around to updating Rene's design. Yeah it's 90% the same but I wanted to make small changes to her for a while. Spent way more time on the way the legs work than I thought lol. #Robotgirl #oc #ocsky #robot #robotoc #originalcharacter

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

A 3D [HeartShapedObject] heart-shaped rune called the Delta Rune from Deltarune. The symbols on my design of the rune depict the Angel as a red circle with white wings and the three heroes as light blue, purple, and green triangles. The green one is upside down.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Caved and got myself the new Tomodachi. Yeah I fully get the hype. Filling an island with ocs (yes I have more than just Rene) is just fun. Even though sometimes they do stuff the canon version won't do. Like that main character jumpscaring his best friend. But I can look past that and enjoy the fun

Wanted to get a little something out for Easter. So here's a (very) quick rough sketch of Rene in a bunny suit. One I was willing to draw her in, anyway. #RobotGirl #OC #Sketch
My OC Rene in a bunny-themed onesie. She has a mild disapproving look on her face due to what most would think of when hearing the term "bunny suit".

Merry Christmas! Managed to get this done while it's still Christmas where I am. I wanted to do a perspective experiment with this one and I think it turned out pretty good. Also the first time in a long time I made a standalone piece on paper. #Robotgirl #oc #ocsky #robotoc #art #TraditionalArt
A pencil drawing of my character Rene. She is wearing a stereotypical Santa outfit. Many snowflake-like diamonds fall around her like snow.

I've been working on a Bendy chapter concept for Dead By Daylight. I made this Sammy skin for Unknown as part of it. The lore I have for it is that Sammy was in the trials at one point but was devoured by The Unknown. It then took on his appearance. #Bendy #DBD #DeadByDaylight #BATIM #BATDR #art
A skin concept for the killer called The Unknown in Dead By Daylight. Based on the character Sammy Lawrence from the Bendy series.

If you see this, post your own robotic creation! Rene has quite a bit of history for me. Heck, she didn't even start out as a robot. Once I made her into one though, everything about her just clicked into place for me. This little trend also gave me an excuse to do a little timeline of her design.
This one was made back in 2022. I remember liking it a lot back then but not so much these days. Mainly in the proportions and shading.This one was made back in 2024 and is in my pinned post. I do want to make another redesign at some point in a similar fashion to this.A Vroid model I've been working on lately. Most of the texturing is a placeholder and I'm working on the topology because it's not very good. I'm mostly going to use it as reference for a proper less anime-like redesign in the future. Also she finally has shoes now lol.
