iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

was really hoping to get a short comic out for these mortal confines before the end of this year but life is throwing so much shit at me rn im afraid im gunna miss my deadline oh well at least i'll have some more illustrations done this month

can we bring back those diagrams from the 2000s explaining how copying and stealing are two fundamentally different things

copyright law is and continues to be one of the most anti-art laws in existence and you will still have a billion artists defend it cuz they like to imagine they're on the side that can sue people for copyright infringement and not the side that has their work rights legally stolen by businesses

copying is not theft. it will never be theft. you are arguing for a world where people can get sued for blackout poetry, collages and sampling in music. oops wait that already happens. this is a fundamentally anti-art stance

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion

It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."

Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

i really adore the colors of this game sm so far.. the brownish orange ground with the golden trees and the green sky all just come together so pleasantly, i bet theres a cool breeze blowin thru here all the time and i bet it smells so nice here..

Evergrace

a woman stands on a small hill in front of a forest of golden trees. on the same hill is an old man in robes standing in front of a sword stuck into a mound of dirt, likely someones grave. the sky above is a faded green. some ruins and a fountain lie just beyond the forest in the distance

Evergrace

a woman stands in front of a small pond at the bottom of a rocky canyon. the water is a pale blue and looks like itd be cold. the sky above is various shades of green. a castle lies on a cliff far off in the distance

Evergrace

a woman stands before some ruins. pillars line either side of the site, and a broken statue lies at the end in the middle.

Evergrace

a woman stands under the canopy of a golden forest. shafts of light shine thru the treetops leaving dancing shadows on the forest floor. a small stream of pale blue water runs thru the forest

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Metroid manga: Round and Round
An Unexpected Discovery

Samus: I haven't been back to my starship in a long while.
Samus: It's gotten very dirty. It should be cleaned.
(Samus notices something while cleaning)
Samus: Oh!
(Samus is now curled into a ball and tucked into a small space)
Galactic Federation Voice: Samus! Report in! What are you doing? Respond!
Samus: Aaah! It's perfect for turning into a ball here!

Lots of Information

Samus: This is Samus! I've been exploring many places on my mission!
Galactic Federation Voice: Have you really been doing anything?
Samus: If you don't believe me, just take a look at this map!
Galactic Federation Voice: Oh! I see you've been rapidly progressing!
Samus: See, see?
(Galactic Federation Guy looks at Samus's map, which is full of her notes)
Galactic Federation Guy: As for these notes...
The notes: "Here's a roundy, and it's very nice!"
"Here's another."
"Rolly place."
"There was a roundy here, but it broke down."

unsurprising that DLSS5 looks good when its an actual release candidate, artists are given total control over where its used & the game was designed around its implementation course no one is going to bother making a completely bespoke model for their game so it will only be useful for hyperrealism

have been spending so many hours trying to understand how to write my own function to read keyboard bytes in DOS. have at least figured out (hopefully) how to read the address of the old keyboard function and load in a new one. but uhh my function is more conceptual rn lol

Transphobic attacks on the Welsh Gender Service, supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru, have now bourne fruit: Our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

Over the past few weeks an attack has been launched on the Welsh Gender Service, spearheaded by right wing politicians but supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru.

Now our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

As far as we know no news outlet has picked up this story yet so we feel a duty to inform our followers.

We welcome the organic response already forming in the trans community, but its clear that the current methods of marches, lobbying and so on are no longer sufficient.

Trans people and our cis allies need to organise to directly take on the transphobic apparatus denying us healthcare, and keep working to build strong DIY networks in the meantime.

If there's a trans person in your community struggling today, lend them your strength. Remember, the only antidote to despair is action.

An update from my sister 💜

Thank you all so much for donating so far, your donations have meant we will not loose our home this month ❤️ unfortunately I am having to go through ACAS to resolve my work dispute and it will be a long time before I can get any meaningful updates on it. We have applied for universal credit and I have job applications on the go but still no luck with securing work. On the bright side my recovery from surgery has gone really well. Unfortunately we are having to go private for a second opinion as we feel the NHS ignored key information that would help make a diagnosis. We are hoping just a consultation will be enough for a diagnosis which will be £300 max.

I just want to thank everyone again for their donations big and small. We have been able to buy groceries and again, not loose out home. Next month we should hopefully be getting extra support from UC but still no idea how much, we expect not much as my husband is in work, so we still really need anything we can get until I can secure a job. Thank you all so much ❤️

i got transparency working ^__^ the first step towards proper sprites!!! DOS GAMES BABYYYYYYYYYYY

a screenshot of a DOS program with debug text in the top left, solid black square in the bottom left and in the middle a custom pixel art image of a trainer battle intro from the pokemon gameboy games is displayed. the text in the screenshot says 'G wants to fight!'. drawn ontop of that are two sprite art images of mew.
