Do you peeps remember this commission? Can you believe I finished it? OMG, literally so brave of me ~

Honestly, it came out so good, I'm so happy with it! 🧵

#worldofwarcraft #bloodelf #belf #portrait #art

The painting shows a blood elf seamstress sewing away on a soon-to-be garment while she gazes longingly to the sideline. Her focus is not on her work, which she seems to be doing with ease.

Today's little sketch, a bit overdone but then again, had to do this justice. Czech Eurovision 2023 Entry: Vecna – "My Sister's Crown". Still one of the best songs and performances everrr

A woman dressed in pink modern clothes, adorned with pink ribbons. She is holding her body long braid in her right hand, which also has a pink ribbon at it's end. A crown is floating above her head.

Rumi the tiefling, ready to restore the Honmoon 🎼

#KpopDemonHunters #KpopDemonHuntersFanart #fanart #dndart

Rumi from Kpop Demon Hunters as a tiefling in a medieval fantasy world. She's playing a haegeum, a traditional korean instrument. I've tried a mix between korean culture and classic medieval fantasy.
I've done a roleplay character sheet as a background.

Please notice this is a fanart, Rumi belongs to Maggie Kang.

| The Barrier |

Remembering just how much I love drawing water and rainy weather. 💕
#dragonage #oc

an illustration featuring two original characters Rafe and Zacharius (who belongs to @lesoldatmort ) set into the world of Thedas (Dragon Age), inspired by Emerald Graves map and the Temple of Mythal. This time in a rainy weather.

The whole piece is situated to a balcony or a courtyard of old elven ruins. The bois are sitting in the lower left corner of the piece, Zach, who is dry, is casting a barrier around them to hold the water off. Rafe, completely drenched is trying to squeeze more water out of his hair. They're looking at each other playfully.

The dialogue between them would go something like this:
'You know... I could have cast that. Mom taught me a barrier like this one.'
'Sure, you could, but you were too busy climbing up that pillar over there. If you catch cold, suits you just right.'
'Yeah, yeah... Whatever. But next time I'll be the one to cast it.'

The ruins are overgrown and water is pooling around them. Everything is surrounded by a rather thick fog.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics:

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

This is Ynshael, a golden-oak-leaf-themed elf noble-woman I did as a commission.

The idea was to make an elvish version of Teysa Karlov, and to give her a dreamy look.

#commissions #dnd #dndart #pathfinder #fantasy

A digital painting of a blonde and fair-skinned elvish woman, wearing a green dress, holding delicately a golden oak leaf and resting her other hand in an elaborate cane.
