i've been doing it because i'm anti-capitalist, but it's a pain removing all the built-in capitals from my phone's swipe keyboard. so sometimes they slip by on accident

#portfolioday Hey. Despite everything, it's still Alessandro - an italian guy trying to make a living out of #pixelart. I used to work in the movie art department, but that was just a phase, MOM! I also have game asset packs (tilesets & characters mainly) for sale on my Itch and Patreon pages.

A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around.
The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

An illustration of a flooded forest with rich, lush vegetation from the movie Princess Mononoke, by Hayao Miyazaki. In a clearing between trees, shrouded by warm light, the silhouette of the Forest God, looking directyl at the viewer.
Scattered across the fern leaves, the tree bark and grass, many kodama spirits can be seen.

Reflected in the lake below, the warm light dims into a nocturnal sky, as the deer god reflection takes the shape of the starlit Nightwalker.

$A pixel art of the pokemon Bronzong and Bronzor. The steel/psychic pokemon is embedded in an intricate frame wall, perfectly shaped around him. Two Bronzor are located at its sides. The dark temple is lit by a bright flame contained in a horned urn right below Bronzong. This round brazier is shaped like the headpiece of the legendary pokemon Ting-Lu. The bright flame causes all sorts of reflections and color diffractions: from the warm light to the characteristic shades of oxidated bronze, with purple and cold reflections as well. Upon further inspection, the rich frame carvings reveal many historiated scenes: below bronzong there's a lunette holds stylized figures of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Above the two Bronzor, embedded in the frame, the silhouettes of Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. On the higher part of the structure, right above Bronzong, the effigy of Arceus, lit by a cold light.$

Two pixelart mockups of a top-down game with an urban punk kind of vibe.

1. A warehouse/garage kind of setting, with old cars, crates and metallic structures. The metallic shutter door is slowly opening, as light from outside filters in, reflected on the ruined, concrete flooring. A giant mechanic robot gorilla construct is exhausting steam from its valves, as the Chief Mechanic, called "Oloap" speaks to the player through a message box. In italian he says: "Un gran bel tocco di ferraglia, non c'è che ire. Prima volta che voro su un mecha-gorila. Maaa... quella sciarpina?". Translation: "What a fine piece of scrap metal you got for me. It's my first time working on a mecha-gorilla... not so sure about it wearing a scarf, though."

2. It's a hot sunset and Colin, a young man with teal blue hair tied with a headband and a subtle smirk has reached the center of a forested junkyard. The area is full of scrap metal and wire, with many broken electric devices. At the center of the forest clearing a huge pile of rubbish, rusty cars, construction materials, street lighta and more can be seen. At the bottom of the scrap tower, there's an opening in the metal with a dim light and old drapes on the side.

The message box at the bottom of the screen showcases Colin's mugshot and a line of monologue: "Unbelievable! That's the source of the magnetic anomaly. I wonder what Oloap wants from that pile of Junk".

literally every implementation of ai in a game i've seen has been utter dogshit. the audacity of this slop-drinker calling the anti-ai crowd uncreative. slop peddlers are the least creative people to have ever existed.

i heard it's #portfolioday again! i make retro-styled pixel art asset packs explicitly for indie devs who DON'T use ai. if that's you, know that you are appreciated 🙏🏽

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

every week i watch an episode of star trek the next generation with my 9-year old. it's the first time he's experienced it, and I'm loving seeing it all again from the beginning. there's literally no reason to engage with new media if you don't like it. let your dollars do the talking, as they say.

What if we...

a button design: button is yellow and black for aposematic purposes, and reads 'if you use a.i. don't talk to me, i will bite your face clean off your skull.' in the middle is a bitey-looking beetle with a little skull making a sad face above its mandibles.

your art is adorable and full of personality, you should be so proud of it 🤗 i like to screenshot positive comments about my art that i can look at when I'm feeling shitty, and it helps a lot. maybe you can go back and find some on old posts and start your own collection?

Seliel the Shaper @seliel-the-shaper.itch.io · 03/10/2026

my reconsider moment is when i imagine what kind of replies i would get from "strangers on the internet" from sharing my harmless opinion, and invariably never post 😅

Man, fuck your AI assisted backport at this point. Fuck your machine translated romhack. Fuck your vibecoded anything, actually. Digital culture shuttering circa 2026, what a world.

it's like those people in a fantasy movie that are like "ghosts? don't be ridiculous!" when there are real wizards and dragons going around 🧐

I know, right? It would be such a simple thing for the people in charge to just make the world a better place in the blink of an eye, but they just don't!

What if I told you there was a streaming platform that is Anti-AI, Anti-Ads, and easy to use? I've been multi-streaming on @altstream.online and it's SICK. It's customizable and has built in features like BSKY alerts! First 1,000 people get Beta access to new stuff.

It's showing up as blocked here, so I can't see what account it is. Not sure if that's because I have them blocked or because you have them blocked (something bluesky does). Can you share the account name to be sure?

Now with AI you can automate away your hobbies! Enjoy a thing? Well now you can meticulously tinker with prompts and settings to get a mediocre fascimile of that thing you like! All it takes is more time and more money for a worse and less fun outcome! We based the whole economy on this!

this happened to me in Windows a while back (before llms took over). i used to use Cortana in the exact same way, then one day they removed the ability for it to set a timer or reminder and it became utterly useless overnight.
