PAID GIG I'm looking for someone who could provide ASL illustrations based on a script. There are 50 to 6O signs needed. This is for a comic I'm translating. You'd either be providing ASL illustrations for someone to use when adapting the artwork, or working in the art directly. #Comics #ASL

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Y'all liked the ocean imagery from our moodboards so here's the first line with another image that was in the running for them. @noah-oliver.bsky.social #DVParty
A black and white photo of an ice crust over water with the first line from Rapture of the Deep over it in white text with a black outline. There's also a photo credit--Image via Victor Oonk on Unsplash.

The first line reads as follows: The cold burns my skin and the inside of my suit sticks to me as the darkness presses in from all sides, the nylon and rubber squeezing me painfully. Compressing me into a black hole as I dive deeper toward the sun, glowing and burning and drawing me in with its inexorable gravitational pull.

The other moodboard @noah-oliver.bsky.social did for RAPTURE OF THE DEEP with more of a focus on the alien life the divers encounter. #DVParty #SF #H
A moodboard with 9 individual images: A school of silvery fish, a single larger silvery fish, a diver on the side of a large wreck of some sort, looking down into the abyss, a photo of Europa with Jupiter in the shot as well, a diver with a large camera rig, a striped jellyfish, an octopus, a single small silvery fish, and some feathery kelp strands. They're largely blue and black, invoking a sense of dread
