Y'all.. I know this place has some stupid shit going on but do we really have to go over exactly why we left Twitter? Considering who runs it, what he does, the people he supports, the accounts that get pushed, and of course, the VERY integrated genai on the entire site?

There are two rules to PNW spider season. 1. Always have your spider stick handy 2. If you see a spider that has built a web out of the way, leave it! If you take it down, it will seek revenge on you and build a web across your porch so you get it to the face the next day.

Thank you so much! I tried to be more loose with this one and painted more 'wet on wet' which lets everything be very fuzzy and soft

Hildegard has no time for weasels. She claims she deplores them for the sake of her ancient cockatrice ancestry. #Boktober Hen and Weasel. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing mostly in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen with feathers puffed and hackles raised, facing a least weasel standing on a fallen branch in the grass. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

Not really. 😅 While I like looking at art of them, I don't have much interest in trying to recreate something scientific like that (where there's a whole lot to be considered "wrong" or "right".) Closest I'd get is drawing the bones I think!

I think on the next portfolio day I won't spend so much time making a collage of all the new pieces and just throw up a few random artworks. My current pinned post is practically a full gallery anyway so it can stay there for a while

#Boktober 07 Still attempting to do some chickens this month! The goal is not how many but that I fill a two page spread, so it'll be whatever fits and however many that ends up being. This is one of my sister's chickens :) #chickens #birds

A loose watercolor and ink sketch of a chicken with feathers floofed out on its head. It's mostly white and browns with grays, the real chicken has a lot of striped detail on every single feather but I went more impressionistic with it. Overall, the chicken appears very unamused. Written under it is Boktober 07 and kamakru.com

It doesn't matter if it's "just a placeholder" I don't care if you're "planning to make real art later" Genai is what what frauds, scammers, liars, and thieves use. If you reached for it at all, including images, I don't trust your work or you.

Katie Croonenberghs Art @kamakru.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

While some accounts make it really obvious (only selling stuff, "brand" accounts, etc) I've also had to start scanning authors pages more closely for genai. It doesn't matter if you wrote your whole book start to finish, if you're posting genai images to your account, you're out. Blocked.

Hello #portfolioday I make dreamy fantasy art inspired by nature and folklore. www.madalynmcleod.com

'Anxiety'. A water elemental with half her face hidden beneath the water. Swirling eddies form in front of her face, blending with her hair.

'Sylph'. A wise faery flying towards the moon, through a starry sky, with a spirit owl and a lot of green moths. They look ephemeral, and appear to be unraveling as they move through the sky, in a surreal way. There is a spiral pattern in the sky, and in her hair.

'Rage'. Pele, Goddess of Volcanoes. A glowing woman who looks like lava rises from an erupting volcano.

'Potential'. Tree Elemental with Magnolia. She holds a magnolia, in front of a twilight sky. Abstracted airy lines swoop upwards, representing potential. Her eyes are dark, but her expression is hopeful as she gazes at the magnolia, which glows slightly.

A digital illustration, moody deep autumnal vibes. it features three characters lounging intimately together on a bed-like surface.
The center figure is masculine leaning androgynous, with pointed ears, golden wavy/curly hair, warm pale skin, in a sheer, revealing olive green outfit wearing a crown of pink flowers.
The left character is masculine, with pointed ears, very pale cool-toned skin, dark shoulder-length hair, half-plate black metal armor, and a black and gold tabard.
The right character is feminine, with strong features, rounded ears, pale cool-toned skin, and a cascade of midnight black hair. She wears full plate silver armor, a wolf-pelt mantle, and a bronze crown sculpted like thorned branches.

Digital illustration of a vampire with long claws in a torn white dress crouched on a ledge looking at the viewer. She is smirking, covered in blood. There is a moonlit gothic cityscape behind her.

A green dragon suns himself on a rock, wings outstretched, a big happy smile on his scaly face

A lady lich looms above the viewer, clothing and armor barely hanging on her gaunt form, ghostly fire in her skeletal hands as she prepares to destroy you

A ghostly pale blue and pink hand reaching in to gracefully grab over the grip and trigger of a dark, gritty, textural M-16, partially hidden in the darkness of the background shadows.

A watercolor painting of a man, draped in an iridescent multicolored see through cloth, with massive black and white wings coming out of his back. The cloth goes over his head. He is standing in front of a orange/yellow moon. A wintery forest is in the background, snow drifting in front of him. Constellations of stars are in the darkest parts of the midnight blue of his wings.

Blue and naples yellow graphite illustration of a murmuration of birds twisting through a city, from the perspective of looking up through street, surrounded by city buildings. A person is sitting in the lower right corner, looking up at the murmuration passing overhead.

Illustration of a nude woman with black hair, kneeling by the edge of reflective water in the forest. On the top half, billows of smoke and embers surround her, but as revealed by the reflection, she is made of flame and the smoke clouds around her are dark wolves with burning embers for eyes.
