Just doing my small part to mess with ai datasets 😊😈 (It looks like AI but don’t worry, I drew every part 😇) I included: ✅ weird hair looping back on itself ✅ skin blending into clothing ✅ Too many fingers, limbs, pupils Any AI image generators out there: feel free to scrape this one 😇

Super normal illustration of a woman with no extra limbs or anything (sarcasm)

I keep harping on this but AI “writers” and “artists“ keep showing what unserious tourists they are. People who actually create agonize over adverbs and color palettes and metaphors and gesture. AI people can’t even be bothered to skim their own book once

I’ve been wanting to draw a poster for I Am Love (2009, Luca Guadagnino) for a while now, and I finally carved out some time to draw it ❤️‍🔥 This scene really stuck with me

‘Happy’ International Women’s Day, I guess. Most women I speak to these days are filled with rage, and for good reason. There’s still so much to do, I want better for women and girls 🔥

Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around. Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go. The keyword here is "sometimes".

GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie. These companies may now face for even more liability for violating copyrights. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

All the best illustrators you have ever known or heard of, whether they admit to it or not, likely make heavy use of reference. Use it. Even if your style is more abstract, the advice still applies.

Hi #PortfolioDay Im Bruce, an illustrator, creative director, printmaker & sculptor. Big fan of old goofy SFF covers, forced perspective & experimentation. Nice to meet you :) ILLO: www.instagram.com/bad_manifesto FA: www.instagram.com/oombruce PRINTS: www.inprnt.com/profile/brucemackay

Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor. In the foreground are a bunch of orcs and goblins with acid green rim-light holding swords and axes and pole-arms. In the middle ground is a narrow bridge leading between two grotesque statues into the multi tiered tower that is lit with sickly green lights. Below it leading into the plateau of Gorgoroth are the hills of the Ethel Duath. In the distance is Orodruin and Ered Lithui. The text at the top is white flame like black metal lettering with the words CIRITH UNGOL. Nine green stars float above them. Plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky. A tiny shadow is grossing the bridge. Lord of the Rings. Tolkien. Prints on InPrint.

Digital illustration of an old village lane. Choppy shapes and overlapping oranges and blues.

Digital illustration of a The Lord OF The Rings cover. A Nazgûl sits astride its horse between 2 red trees that make a circle. Int he background is Weathertop, the Misty Mountains and Orodruin. Overlapping risk colours - red, teal and yellow. Some mushrooms in the foreground.

Digital illustration of a vintage car. it's green. has forced perspective. hazy brush-work and fake light leaks. Does for MUTI in 2024.

Read what you want, darlings, but it's odd when books that happen to feature sex are treated as radioactive and those about murder are treated as general interest.

If you’re not willing to draw the line on your participation in a platform at “it helps create sexualized images of minors against their will” then I’m not sure you have a line or that it’s particularly meaningful. Many such cases but might as well acknowledge it.
