If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Storm from X-Men painted by Eleonor Piteira for the 2024 Upper Deck Fleer Ultra Matriarchs of Marvel set. A black woman with white eyes and white gray hair flying in the wind like clouds, manipulates lightning with her hands.Cover illustration of 'The Mercy Makers' by Tessa Gratton, painted by Eleonor Piteira. A cocky dark-haired woman in a red dress with a mask made of magic is smirking at the viewer as she manipulates golden geometric threads with her hands. The hand with the red silk glove is removing a thread, the other is holding a sort of stylus and drawing a new thread. Below, there is the silhouette of a city, and one moon.Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'To Clutch A Razor' by Veronica Roth. Two identical men stand in the same pose, one of them has a gold halo around his head and is holding a gold book with pages flying away from it. One of the pages has a drawing of a sword. On the background tile rooftops and a church are painted red.Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of 'The King Must Die' by Kemi Ashing-Giwa. A black slim woman with grey-ish hair stands against the sun, looking at the right side in profile and holding a quarterstaff. On the desert around her, several stylised figures stand raising their swords up. In the sky there's a faint planetary ring with two moons, one on each side of it.

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth.Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She’s part of everything and distinct.

#artDigital painting of an ethereal woman shackled in outer space, her head replaced by a black hole. The black hole's radiating energy merges with the cosmos, while dark bands swirl around her body, symbolizing entrapment. The image conveys the idea that absolute certainty is a mental prison, with the woman’s chains and the black hole illustrating the constraints of rigid thinking.A digital illustration of banjo-kazooie in a sketchy and rough style.
