Just now realizing I hadn't shared this here yet.

An illustration of three different jack-o-lanterns with facial expressions and space-themed textures and colors in blues and purples. The blue and largest pumpkin has a surprise face and is looking at the smallest pumpkin with a menacing smile. On top of the largest pumpkin is a more teal-colored one with a big happy grin.

It’s funny when they accuse digital artists and game devs of being anti-tech because like…buddy, my guy, do you think we make these things with twigs and rocks? We’re all about the tech. Game dev is like a magnet industry for people who take it apart just to learn how it works, and then improve it

Jessica Kant @jessdkant.bsky.social · 14h

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

THANKS FOR THE ARTSHARE!!!

Hi, I'm Alex! I do the arts (mostly Fanart), I like comics, and I say dumb stuff.

Full body of THE BEYONDER!!! (from Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur)

Full body of Symbiote Storm (my own Design)

Close up to Mysterio's fishbowl and in it are M.C. Escher stairs with a few of him, Spidey and Daredevil on them

So over on Twitter Cey (@ceymk1) tweets about how She-Hulk when as Spider-Man for Halloween in an episode of Hulk and the Agents of S.H.A.S.H. and Max the red Roller Ball decides to draw that and now people are doing it as a trend from Twitter to Bluesky and even saw it on Rule 34, too

Also I did the Ben Reilly Sensational Spider-Man suit. This Suit works so well for this. Both use the adjective sensational, later it would become the Spider-Girl suit (a family member becoming a similar hero, but female), and She-Hulk would like deeper cuts.

A set of digitally painted autumn-themed sticker designs. The largest one depicts a dutch oven shaped like a pumpkin and says "girls don't want boys, girls want pumkin dutch ovens". Other designs include tea lights in colorful glasses, halloween pumpkin latte art, a mug surroounded by apples and cinnamon sticks, colorful pumpkins, a piece of pumpkin chocolate cake and an open book with a yellow leaf within. There is also one desing showing a pair of light-skinned hands painting nails in orange and purple, while another depicts a dark-skinned person holding a black lipstick towards their mouth.

I can't get the images of the Kyoto cherry blossoms out of my head. I love the fluffy white blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful color.

Even months after visiting Kyoto, Japan, to capture the cherry blossoms during peak bloom, I can't get those images out of my head. I want to capture the fluffy white nature of the blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded entirely by beautiful color.
