'You know it's your blood that I bleed Tell me that there's some way that I'll get through the night' Have been going insane about Liam from our new world. So I finally got around to paint him a card. I'm at peace. 💕 #originalart #oc
a tarot-like card illustration featuring an original character named Liam the Vulture. He's holding a sword, looking to the side sadly. One of his hands on the hilt of the sword, the other on the blade - bleeding. The sword divides his outfit into two. He's surrounded by four wings of a vulture behind him.
There are elven ruins in the background.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

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.

On the other three characters outlined in another color. Above the characters float health bars, and right under them you can see icons depicting states. As an example, one of them has a snowflake indicating the character is frozen
