Acrylic marker drawing of a window with a beach view. There’s a white cat in a loaf pose resting on the windowsill, next to a bunch of marine themed knick-knacks such as a miniature lighthouse, seashells and a boat.

Blender 5.3 sort of kind of supports gaussian splats. Not perfect, but the best implementation so far. I made this as a test. Warning: I might make more

Sometimes there is a pause between the answer and I'm hoping that buffering atleast makes them think that maybe those actions are not the ones they want to take

The most recent was with MiL - i just put the bedroom to see what kind of design I could do there (what's funny is that she explained her idea she had for years and it regurgitated "a la aí") we try to point out the actual actions - did you just upload a image of your bedroom on the internet ?

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I'm saying that me and my wife feel like the last survivors in a zombie apocalypse, seeing all close friends and family use this crap more and more. Even a "I just asked ChatGPT what the best GPU for this game is" feels like that hidden zombie bitemark trope

The details: • Paid, in AUD: $800–1,500/day for concept work, expecting 2+ weeks, than production to follow. • We'd build a look from scratch. • Deposit upfront, written contract, full credit. • Remote · starting October, or later to suit you. • Human-made art only, zero generative AI.

We're hiring an exceptional artist to define the look of our game! (also paid!) Rogue City is a roguelike city builder about roads and the bastards that love them. Funded by Screen Canberra. Steam is crowded so we need YOUR unique style. I'm talking weird mediums, unique palettes, a third thing!

I'm just not the illustrator who cares about showing off a polished side. I live for the messy, cozy chaos behind it: sci-fi rabbit holes, writing essays & unhinged zettelkasten nodes. All to digest all that worldbuilding & draw a tiny bear + turtle riding in a stormy boat.

The idea that a studio can suddenly and without warning can be taken over and then dumped by a company with zero protections for any staff and it happened to one studio more then once makes me think you should really think long term about what can happen a year from now with collective protection.

Finished and ready to go to its new home in the USA. There are no tariffs on original artworks but even so commissions from America have dropped off a cliff since the political climate changed. Fingers crossed things will get better soon

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

It’s interesting seeing everyone say they very valid reasons to never touch ai but for me I simply don’t think I can think or function in a way where I need to express much of anything with text. I chose art cos it felt like was a limited choice being very dyslexic to having some kind of a career.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.
