I think art is artist’s perspective. And that perspective is its core value that cannot be replaced by AI.

Games Journalism is like fewer than 40 people now. Magazines are basically gone and websites are not far behind. None of this is a surprise, but it's incredibly sad. We had something awesome for a while there. Younger generations have no idea what they missed out on. aftermath.site/ziff-davis-i...

Seems like a good time for this winter set ❄️ The Hunter / The Warlock / The Battle / The Aftermath [ #art ]
A man hunting in the snow beside a bear familiar. A warlock nervously walking through the snow at night with his crow familiar. The bear and hunter dressed as a bear hide in the back.A battle between a hunter and warlock. The aftermath of a battle. The hunter is exhausted and the warlock injured. But the warlock looks back with pity

I wasn't sure what I was seeing when I took this photo from the balcony a few nights ago. Thanks to @andyknny.bsky.social and the Denverite reporting, I learned the pink glow is from grow lights for the turf at the Bronco's stadium. #Denver 📷

Day 21 of posting cool mushrooms every day: The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii) has both teeth on its underside and "blood" on its top! The "blood" is extracellular fluid, which is squeezed out when the fungus absorbs water, increasing pressure until the red fluid is squeezed out!
Source: reddit, user: denise1025

A very alien white mushroom strands surrounded by green underbrush and mossy trees. The mushroom is white and almost like a triangle on a stem. On its underside, there are "teeth"-like projections. On its top, it is flat white, except there are beads of red droplets like blood.

In Hippoxxus when shooting enemies, you can toggle between normal and heal mode. In heal mode, your gun's rate of fire and range is reduced, but once the bar below your health bar is fully charged, you'll automatically heal yourself. #GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #Metroidvania

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Today on #NatureIsAConceptArtist, the corpse flower. It's native to the rainforests of the Indonesian island of Sumatra (although I saw one at the Cambridge Botanical Gardens) It blooms infrequently and gives off the odor of rotting flesh.

Ocarina of Time in my art style ✨ #zelda #loz #art #pixelart #ドット絵
A pixel art rendition of Link's House from the beginning of Ocarina of Time. The perspective is similar to a diorama or an isometric view. Link is sleeping in his bed with Navi floating next to him. Saria and her fairy are waiting at the base of the tree that Link lives in.
