Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 4hNeat! Is this like a plugin that can emulate the circuit or something like that? Or are you just doing it by hand? 110
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've had my criticisms of FA management and the like over the years, but there's no getting around the fact FA is one of the last places left that truly serves furry art and the community as a whole. No algorithms, no AI, no data stealing. From here on out I'm a FA+ subscriber. 061
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 28/09/2026One of the things that's awesome about getting commissioned art is knowing you have something that an awesome creative person put a lot of love and effort into, knowing they could take your idea and create something wonderful from it that you can't do yourself. AI "art" accomplished none of that. 130
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I might have secret plans to have a kobold version of myself ... 110
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Think of it as a self organizing entity. No one of us is planning it out, yet you throw us all together and somehow it all works out perfectly! 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 23/09/2026i'm on team "legs shrinking". I know TF is supposed to be fun make believe stuff but at least it feels a little more physically plausible and kind of satisfies my inner geek xD 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026A handy flowchart to answer the question of whether your particular use case of utilizing generative AI is morally acceptable. 011
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ugh. I saw another version of it pop up somewhere else and it was AI slop there as well. So disappointing. I love the idea of the coyote mascot, but the execution just sucks. 030
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My first thought when I saw that render was "I wonder if I could ever have the patience to learn to do that in Blender." My second thought was "I wonder if I could ever throw money at them to do something like this someday" xD 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Man are you good at making these little guys look intimidating. 011
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's a struggle and I have a bad feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better - but as long as there are people who refuse to give in and accept that it's just inevitable, it's not inevitable. Hang in there! 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Someone whose art I've always enjoyed and someone who I've always had positive personal interactions with, and someone I wish I had gotten to know better if I weren't such an introvert. 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Oh gosh I love these, if I hadn't already robotified most of my oc's a handful of times already .. Still tempted to anyway :> 110
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I dunno, is it past its expiration date? Wait, you said snakes and TF, pretty sure those don't go bad. Post away! 010
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Cheeti you are too wholesome for this world, I needed to hear this today! 000
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I really love seeing all your sketches! Are these for a patreon or do you take comms for these? 110

Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Hey they say any landing you can walk away from is a good one! I'll get up and walk away, eventually! 130
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 16/07/2026So very sorry for your loss. Please be sure to take care of yourself. 0240
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Just learned that Sam Neill passed. Was in a couple of the more important movies from my youth, doesn't help that his character in JP shares my meatspace name. Don't usually give much thought to the passing of celebrities but this one makes me sad! 000
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Well I guess I have officially joined the unemployed club today. Wish I could say it was voluntary, but hey maybe it's an opportunity to take a breath and refactor a bit! 010

Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 08/07/2026But you're just using it to make your life easier? Cut out the fat so you can focus on what matters? It's creating a dependency is what it's doing. Each time you use it as a shortcut it's your own skills being degraded to the point you can't do it without them anymore, and you're hooked. 000
Alta @shereth.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Don't use AI guys. No, not even for that. Doesn't matter how innocent your case feels. They want you to think it's harmless. It isn't. It's still built on a foundation of environmental exploitation, neighborhood-destroying datacenters and new caste of billionaire sociopaths. Just don't do it. 130
