I’m experimenting more with layering my colored pencils. It’s so satisfying! But also easy to overdo it, which is an eternal struggle I face as a digital artist without an undo button.

Artist! Quote with smoking character!🚬

A composition featuring two angles of the same scene. My OCs. A man - Marko, tall, wearing layers of club wear, with a cybernetic futuristic prosthetic arm, slicked back blonde hair and an undershave - leans against a wall in the kabedon (wall slam) style over another man - Beck, scrungly, wearing a thread-worn hoodie and patched jeans, with dark neck-length wavy hair and a short trimmed unkempt stubbly beard. Marko bends down to light his cigarette off the one in Beck's mouth, which Marko is supporting with his own hand, the back of his fingers almost touching the smaller man's lips. The view on the left is a full body from behind, the view on the right is closer and from the side, showing their faces. Marko has a look on his face that is almost desperate, longing, or predatory. Beck is rather non-expressive and his reaction is unreadable. The scene is more suggestive than literal, somewhat non-euclidean, not quite making sense in space. They are lit by a massive ring of light behind them that frames their heads in the closeup section like a halo, clipped by the walls they are leaning on and the crop of the image.

I'm so happy and proud of this piece. It was challenging, but I LOVED painting it SO much!

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character over a plain grey background, with the lineart on the side. The character is a tiefling / earth genasi, with horns and spikes across their body made of titanium quartz. Their skin is of a dark warm purple tone, and their pointed ears are slightly downwards. Their hair is arranged in box braids, with an iridescent sheen to them. Their eyes are orange. He has clawed hands. He is wearing a simple outfit with a halter top with an eye pattern on the chest, sleeves that leave the shoulders bare, a corset-like belt, sportive pants and holo trainers.

Human artist! Quote with your cyberpunk art!

The image shows a stylish, dark, futuristic character in digital illustration format. It is a woman with bright red hair tied in two buns, which gives her a slightly playful look that contrasts with the dark atmosphere. She wears a cap with a white cross on her head. The character's skin has a metallic, almost cybernetic tone. She wears a stethoscope, armored elements, straps, tight-fitting parts, and technology. Her posture is relaxed, yet confident and slightly predatory. The lighting is dramatic — cold blue and dark tones, sharp highlights and shadows.

Franken-Friends Stinkos 🦇Char + 💜Neesa = CHEESA Taro Boba & Vinyl Records scented @neesa.bsky.social requested a fusion Stinko Pop of the two of us & I've been so excited to see our designs mixed together. I love this eldritch trash bat goblin! #stinkopop #vgen

A picture of a Stinko Pop in-box and out-of-box. Stinko Pops are custom digital illustrations depicting characters as "scented" chibi vinyl figures. This is a Fraken-Friends Stinko Pop named Cheesa, a fusion between Trash Bat Char & Neesa. Cheesa is a purple bat goblin with a giant purple bat's nest hairstyle that has teal streaks and magenta on the ends. The eyes have bat wing-shaped eyelashes and black sclera; one is purple & the other teal, with a faint blue spiral in both irises. They wear black lipstick on their big sharp-toothed smile & have a center labret lip piercing, as well as industrials in the bat ears with black roses & thorny metal vine cuffs. Their left arm has several pink and purple demon eyes, their ears and hands end in a dark purple ombre, and they have a goblin tail. They also have bat wings with 3 demon eyes on each wing. The outfit is a white distressed tank top with a "Trash Bat" illustration of bats flying out of a trash can, black denim shorts, ripped mesh stockings, and some big goth stomping boots & accessories to match. The in-box design has a pattern of pink & purple demon eyes and bats on it & is Taro Boba + Vinyl Records "scented", with a drawing depicting the scent (the record displayed is "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..." by AFI).

Alligator Gar

Super ancient is the long-snouted fish that gulps the air and breathes the fresh water ways, outlasting the dinosaurs and the reptiles of water and air. Its kind, hard scales resist it to weathering time. Blessed is the fish olive drab and spotted strangely, long snouted, placid and calmly, swimming through the pyrocene, and it is an unknown future fish unseen,
