I wonder if doing unironic little art history lectures would be a cool format for Twitch streams. Like: "Here, I spent a week hyperfocusing on research on this artist and the movement they were a part of, have a slideshow and me yapping about their body of work" Hmm

Have I ever, in my life, been able to finish a comic I've had an idea for? Nope. Did I still sign up for a 24 hour comic-drawing challenge? Yup. Am I slightly terrified and struck by imposter syndrome? Hell ye.

I just realized I've watched all of the Twilight movies so many times that I can quite accurately distinguish what is happening in the story when given a single screenshot.

D&D night means 3 things 1) Finding any opportunity to throw around dumb dad jokes 2) Being willfully incompetent at solving riddles 3) Almost dying because you solved a riddle too slowly and the DM singling you out during combat on account of having made a dumb dad joke

The "creatives" who use genAI at any part of their process need to understand I'm not desperate for new media. There is such a backlog of arts, movies, books, and games WITHOUT genAI that if nothing new was made again, I'd still need a hundred lifetimes to consume even a fraction of it.

Throwback to a few months ago when I found a travel guide to Florence from the 1960s or something, where tourists were warned of the crazy high temperatures there. The crazy high temperatures you ask? 28 degrees.

It feels so weird having people call the simple act of mixing red and blue to get purple "color theory" when advertising their products. Like, you're not wrong, but also fuck you for making that shit sound mythical, when that's something we learned in Kindergarten.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

If I see "We didn't use CGI" as a brag from some movie executive again, I'll throw a table. Because yes. You did. And guess what, it just does not matter, as long as it's done with proper intention and skill by professional artists, instead of being a crutch for bad concepts.

My entry for the second round of the Unreal Björnament 5 #ub5 with the prompt "Resistance". First I struggled real hard with it, then I found inspiration, and now I'm left with a piece that is apparently very open to interpretation. #illustration #CSP #ArtSky #DigitalArt
A man sitting in front of a desk, the left side of his head buried in his hand, leaving one eye open that's dimly glowing like a dying ember. His right hand is clutching a fountain pen and he appears to be writing. In front oh him is a scattering of papers, photographs and post-it notes completely filled with scribbles and notes. Leading from the head of the man, partially merging with it, is a thick cloud of smoke in which there are phantom-like figures, ranging from more or less detailed to washed-out and obscure towards the top.

In the interest of actually showing that I'm an artist, have this sketch of my demonboi Eddie~ #oc #ocart #sketch
A portrait of a red-skinned demon with four horns and yellow eyes, in a 3/4-side profile looking cockily down at the camera. He's wearing a jacket with a sharp-angled collar that's been messily erased toward the lower part of the image. The Background is completely white with a black bar running across the screen right behind his head.

The "Just Make it Exist First / You can make it good later"- art meme with a sketch of an old wizard perplexed by a vacuum cleaner and a finished illustration of the same motive

An illustration of a stereotypical wizard in his overstuffed, chaotic workshop who looks horrified at a real-world dyson vacuum cleaner he's just gotten working, which is now sucking up all kinds of magical items on his cluttered desk

It's baffling to me how anyone felt comfortable marketing the movie "Mercy" to anyone. - Anything CGI looks like hot garbage. (probably not the fault of the artists but of the budget/timeline but still) - The fuck is the message? "At the end of the day AI is a good susbstitute for a fair trial"?

Thank you all for 2.6k here/9k on Insta! To celebrate, let‘s do a #DTIYS of Lux! Id love to see yalls take on him I’ll make it a small contest too: The winner gets a half body drawing Rules: ⭐️tag me in your entry ⭐️follow me ⭐️share this post ⭐️end date: March 26th ⭐️no A/I. #oclux #oc #art
Drawing of my OC Lux. Lux is a drow with pointed ears, purple skin and long darker purple hair, pulled into a braid over his right shoulder. The left side of his hair has a side shave. In the picture, he is shown to his hips/thighs, wearing a broad rimmed dark hat with a parted veil and some golden chains dangling from it. His shirt is a muted green turtle neck with star and moon shaped cut outs at his neck. He is wearing a cinched coat on top of it with puffy sleeves with some slashes that tighten at his elbow. His hands are covered in gloves as well that have a cut out at the back as well. More jewellery is hanging off the belt of his coat. He wears black leather pants as well as several moon and star themed piercings and round, gold sunglasses.
He is standing in a 3/4th view, leaning back slightly, hands lifted as he is casting a spell producing yellow sparkles and pink smoke that billows around him. The magic is glowing and reflecting off of him. He is smiling.

Seeing as I'm technically an artist, I should probably start posting some actual art this year. This time around, I'm trying to draw on a daily basis. The first two days were a bit myeh, today I managed to cook. Lil guy, inspired by Waxillium Ladrian from #Mistborn Era 2~ #Cosmere #Fanart
An illustration of the sideprofile of a middle-aged man, sporting an earring. The profile is kept in rusty red tones with a turquoise and orange graphic background, with orange lines leading up from the chest of the man

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

My local grocery stores and I have been in a vicious standoff for a few days. Do they reduce the prices of advent calendars before it becomes too silly to buy one? Or do I cave before that and pay full price in order to experience a bit of whimsy? We'll know tomorrow.

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.
‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’
I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions.

Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.
