I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

A few months ago I got to design the staff t-shirt for The Hobbit x MTG! I relished painting some of the pivotal characters and elements of the story. The stylization is inspired by Tolkien's own paintings, and I wanted it to look as though Bilbo had drawn these things in his book.
A stylized collection of images from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Featuring characters Smaug, Bilbo, Beorn, and Gollum, and artifacts like the One Ring, Thorin's Key, the Arkenstone, and Sting.

sold someone on a $20 item that i recommended to them at the store today and then the cashier forgot to ring up a $20 item for me at the register so the economic karma is balanced 🙏

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

Once again, it is truly heinous that this needs to be a public topic of discussion without knowing what the victim feels about the whole thing. The only person who can demand accountability from someone is the actual person harmed, everyone else is just gawking.

Please help. People's needs always increase this time of year but this year is even greater than usual, and when we run out of tents people are sleeping unsheltered. Finances are tight for everyone but how far are any of us from homelessness?
Weeknight drop-ins have tripled we are tired and out of money. Please donate via the links in our bio so we can continue to support unhoused people.We cannot keep up with the demand caused by current situations in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, we need financial support.$18K would allow us to give out additional $0.10 weekly (tent tarp sleeping bag hygiene kit undies) per week through February.Please help 😢

yeah it's annoying that i'm seeing little sympathy from comic creators for anyone losing income via tapas :/ like it doesn't need to be your exclusive platform to be a place you're making money from and not everyone on tapas is going to follow all their fave comics to comicfury or whatever

Some screen tone and ink tests from the last few days. I’m thinking about an au that takes place around 2005
A black and white ink drawing with screen tones of two boys hanging out. The one on the left is taller and is holding a can, the one on the right is lighting a cigarette A black and white ink drawing of an older teenage boy with screen tones on a sweatshirt. He is wearing glasses and has hair styled like a mid 2000s emo kid. A black and white ink drawing of an older teen boy with black unruly hair. A cigarette with a concerning amount of ash hangs from his lips, his mouth is contorted into a grimace.
