An illustration of a cluttered home office space with plants and soft lighting. A raccoon is on its back in the desk chair, seeming dead, with a ghost drifting from its open mouth

An illustration of a vibrating raccoon clutching a sloshing cup of coffee, surrounded by stacks of coffee cups in various states of being drunken

i think there's also an ocean of difference between something run locally on your computer vs a billionaire's LLM run through a datacenter that guzzles resources and poisons the marginalized community it was forced upon

it's really excellent, i love when the conversation includes nuance

"we should kill ai users" gtfo, I'm not fucking with anyone who thinks ordinary people are their enemy and not billionaires and their extremely predatory companies

Like I get it, shaming feels good on the lizard brain and we've all done it before, but this behavior needlessly ostracizes people forced to use it for work, people who stopped using it, people who might have stopped but now you've just made them feel shitty and unwelcome, etc

I hate AI as much as the next artist, but I'd like to gently nudge in the direction of thinking about the psychology of shame and feelings of superiority and how they hurt movements. Because if I'd ever used AI, posts like this would probably push me away too youtu.be/y85nqc2zm7M

The liege taketh they'r grain, yet they quarrel over the maid'ns hemlines (laughing off mine own ass) #15thCenturyMeme #PeasantPosting

A medieval-style illustration of a white unicorn with a red snake skewered on its horn and wrapped around its neck. The background is a blend of four stylized plants native to California: calystegia macrostegia, clematis pauciflora, maurandella antirrhiniflora, and rubus ursinus.

The ink was done traditionally with color added digitally.

(Part 1) A 3 panel comic page.

Panel 1: Character1 in the foreground, looking ragged and hunched over an iPad says “everything makes me wanna die today”. Character2 in the background looking over a small animal enclosure says “hey pause what you’re doing”.

Panel 2: Closeup of character2 with dramatic lighting saying “the hamster’s awake”.

Panel 3: Closeup of a hamster happily eating a sunflower seed.

(Part 2) A 3 panel comic page.

Panel 1: Worm’s eye view from the hamster’s perspective of both characters looking down into the enclosure. Character2 says “look at her!” and character1 says “I’m gonna throw up”.

Panel 2: Character1 reaches into the enclosure and pets the hamster with a fingertip and says “you’re soo dumb”.

Panel 3: Character1 looks up at character2 and says “I hope you know when she goes, so does my mental health. Character2 frowns in the foreground.

pls say hello to that cold front for me😭🙏

screenshot of the hellish 30+C 10-day forecast where i live

im using two brushes for the fill. the more textured one is an old, dry brush (kuretaki bimoji, i think) and the darker, smoother one is a pentel pocket. SUPER not saying these are the best tools for what i was attempting, they were just what i had

thank you! im a sucker for a bit of dry brush

mistakes are gonna happen, just gotta accept it and let it happen (easier said than done😩)

thank you! i love a stylized hoof

i think that's a very human take

they could have been terrific surgeon hands but instead i use them to draw jokes for the internet🥰

agreed. i also work faster because i can't undo and noodle it to death until i feel the lines are perfect

I've had a LOT of practice, they didnt always look this smooth💀

I still draw all Raccoon Comics traditionally. I mostly work digitally, but there's something about traditional pencil and ink that I can't quite replicate
