I ended up experimenting a lot with this one, pouring layers of ink washes over the watercolor and building up with pastels. I'm trying to get a look that is soft and textured but still has clear strong details in places. I haven't gotten it down yet quite the way I want, but this is a step closer!
A watercolor, gouache, ink and pastel illustration of two armored knights embracing. One knight holds a sword, the other is gently pushing the sword aside while he embraces and kisses him. Both are surrounded by decorative peony flowers.

Fiiiinally got this illustration of Hades and Persephone finished up! I'm not 100% happy with it, it needed more digital touch-ups than I would have liked, but I like a lot of the overall mood and color. 😊
A watercolor, gouache and color pencil illustration of Hades and Persephone. The two are embracing, with Hades appearing sad and Persephone reassuring. Crocuses bloom in the foreground, and Persephone's hair is also full of blossoming crocuses; both a sign of the approaching spring, which perhaps is why Hades is sad. It's time for Persephone to return to the upper world!

calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

Seven Theses Against Viewpoint Diversity
Demands for “viewpoint diversity,” a pillar of the Right’s strategy to remake higher education, collide with the pursuit of truth.

the general distancing from realism in 20th century painting, in part due to the proliferation of the camera, spawned countless ideas and schools of thought, thus upending whatever "art" was supposed to be and mean.

#OTD in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which cleared the way for the U.S. to incarcerate Japanese Americans in internment camps for the duration of World War II — and set a dangerous precedent for the future. #TheMarchContinues

Any article citing an ai singularity situation as something even remotely possible or credible to discuss is completely beyond the pale of credibility. Like citing the book of revelations as data in a physics paper.

I get that it’s SDCC and the calendar has its demands but previewing SPM when EoE isn’t even to prerelease yet is making me insane. It’s a bummer feeling like we’re already getting rushed onto the next thing before even getting the first.

A friend and I have decided to make our mtg jargon more incomprehensible by switching up our color names. 3 Color Shards? New Capenna families. 3 Color Wedges? Ikorian triomes. 2 Color Allies? Tarkir Dragon broods. 2 Color Enemies? Strixhaven schools. Mono Color? Duskmourn regions.

I know there are lots of institutional factors to consider and it's dumb to blame individuals but at the same time I'm so mad at these fucking dipshits
Wendy, a freshman finance major at one of the city's top universities, told me that she is against using AI. Or, she clarified, "I'm against copy-and-pasting. I'm against cheating and plagiarism. All of that.
It's against the student handbook." Then she described, step-by-step, how on a recent Friday at 8 a.m., she called up an AI platform to help her write a four-to-five-page essay due two hours later.|I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: "To what extent is schooling hindering students' cognitive ability to think critically?" Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using Al to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what "makes us truly human." She wasn't sure what to make of the question. "I use AI a lot. Like, every day," she said. "And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it's just - now that we rely on it, we can't really imagine living

Devilish Valet is like the most slept on card ever. Few people I play out in the wild recognize it but it’s a mainstay of my friend pod. It almost always ends up being 3 mana to kill someone stone dead. I hit my boyfriend for 1024 once. My friend has blown me out with it more than I can count.
The Magic the Gathering card Devilish Valet. 2R for a 1/3, trample, haste, Devil Warrior with “Alliance- whenever another creature enters under your control, double Devilish Valet’s power until end of turn.”

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy. "Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era." At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.
