Hello artists who take commission, I have questions for you: - What do you want to see on a character's ref sheet? - If a character has multiple outfits, should all of those be on the same page, or separate ref sheets per outfit?

go tell your favorite artists you like their work. you may think they hear it enough or your praise would be identical to someone else's so you say nothing, but i promise you they would love to hear it. and sometimes they need to hear it.

I have to share this picture with the world. Our little old man Ace had surgery this morning to remove a lump and I snapped this photo at a red light. My sweet baby boy. 🥺🥺🥺
A photo of my dog Ace sitting in my husband's lap.  He is looking back at the camera over his shoulder.  He is wearing a cone and his ears, which are normally folded, are standing up against the cone, and his tongue is hanging out and laid out on the cone, too.

Panel 1
In place of Scrooge, Elise calls out to the little muppet mouse and asks, “You there! What day is it?”

Panel 2
The little muppet replies, “Today? It’s Make a Terrible Comic Day! But don’t be afraid of messing up because it’s in the doing it that you grow. Failure is not the end and you can always try again. Also f*ck AI.”

Panel 3
Elise smiles down from the window and replies, “Hell yeah, muppet from the Christmas Carol.”

Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) The Art Directors Guild represents storyboard and concept artists in live-action film, series, and commercials
Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI):

"Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux.

Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese is turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.

In the recently released Black Forest Labs video promoting their generative AI product FLUX, Mr. Scorsese asks the question, “how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?” He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers - human artists and designers who have been successfully collaborating with directors to visualize their films for decades. Mr. Scorsese's promotion of a generative AI product circumvents the input of Art Directors Guild Local 800 art directors, graphic artists, illustrators, production designers, scenic artists, set designers, and other talented Union professionals.

Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of “cinematic intelligence” by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency.

The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema."

I cannot emphasize the degree to which a data center next to a zoo is a massive endless Endangered Species Act violation. If this happens it /will/ be the end of the facility. Air quality issues kill birds. Constant loud noise destroys animal welfare. Both decimate visitorship. The zoo will close.

Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
