Aw thank you! The paper probably wasn't the best for pencils (I did try layering and blending but still had that graininess left, cheap sketchbook paper only dented lol) but it also looks undeniably coloured pencil-y in the better sense so I don't mind 🤭

Re-designing an old OC

I've had Argeír for... well over a decade. He was originally designed by deviantart user Julkkuli and I didn't feel like changing anything major, but I did make the palette a bit more cohesive... and the markings more tabby cat-ish.

#CalsOCs #art

An old marker drawing of a brown gryphon with his wings half spread, looking kind of as he's landing front feet first. He has a warm, medium brown coat with darker brown stripes and light brown underbelly. He has a bright green mane down his neck and longer green tufts around what i'd call the elbows of his birdlike front feet. Argeír got a gray hooked bill and long ears. His tail is also very long and fluffy, with a gradient from warm brown to light brown and raccoon-like dark brown stripes. His wings are gray and desaturated blue.

A recent drawing of Argeír, in a similar landing pose. His dark brown markings are now less uniform and look more swirly, like tabby cat's. The wings are now gray and desaturated green.

It's been about 15 years since I last touched coloured pencils. Some art god reached down and possessed my hand to make this ig. Laelia got a full spa experience for the first time in their life, all is good in life (for now, before The Horrors catch up lol)

#art #OC #CalsOCs #DnD

A pencil drawing of Laelia, a copper-ish-coloured dragonborn. They're sitting down, leaning on one hand, other hand up to their jaw. They look quite content, with eyes closed and a small smile on their face.

”Tekoälyä on liikaa kaikkialla, myös televisio-ohjelmien introissa, iltapäivälehtien uutiskuvina ja mainoksissa. Suomessa on paljon luovan alan osaajia, ja tekoälyn käyttö on iso keskisormi meille.”

Hyvin sanottu, @krisukoo.bsky.social ! 👏

Mä en sivumennen sanoen täällä sinitaivaassa seuraa ketään, joka postaa generoituja kuvia. Se ei ole mitenkään henkilökohtaista, ei mikään protestikaan. Kyseinen sisältö on vaan jotain mitä en halua nähdä. Altistuin jo Facebookin puolella kylliksi.

Viisijalkaisia pöllöjä ja outoja sormia – tekoäly näkyy nyt myös käsityötuotteissa, ja se ärsyttää alan ammattilaisia

Tekoälyllä kuvitettuihin tuotteisiin voi törmätä niin taidetapahtumissa kuin ketjuliikkeissä. Aihe herättää käsityöalalla monenlaisia tunteita.

capitalism is like, a really really huge pyramid scheme.

When enough people aren't seeing any kind of benefit of capitalism, everything stalls. The whole point is to circulate money, so when it doesn't- bc poor people have none and rich people hoard/accumulate it all- everything just sort of stops

Kameron Hurley @kameronhurley.com · 21d

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

Tweet:

So let me get this right. Oracle says openai committed 300b for cloud storage. Oracle stock jumps 36% Oracle runs on Nvidia gpus. Has to buy billions in chips from Nvidia. Nvidia just announced they're investing 100b in openai. Openai using that money... To pay oracle. Who pays Nvidia. Who investa in open ai

It's so wild... like I can finally understand how my Greek friend feels when I look at my character talents and read words like 'linnunrata'... gonna crash out. 😂 But, at the same time, with Genshin being as huge as it is and the game being my hyperfixation for years, this is a great honour :D

Daily bunny no.3089 is standing guard

A bunny sits regally outside the steps of a stone building, possibly a courthouse or library, imitating the pose of a stone lion statue next to them. Another lion statue is visible in the corner of the drawing. They are both seated with their paws in front of them, but the lion statue looks noticeably more regal than the bunny

Something real fast for the Bi Visibility Day 💗💜💙
A lot of my OCs are bi by default, but wanted to use this as an excuse to draw one of my bi couples that I don't get to air out that often 😘
#art #doodles #bisexual #bivisibilityday #OC #OCsky

A digital doodle of my OCs, Gayoon and Jaehyun, close together while wearing a joined bisexual flag coloured scarf. Gayoon is smiling happily while blushing, while Jaehyun is a bit behind her with a more neutral expression, though also blushing. Both of them are wearing knitted sweaters: Gayoon's is pink, while Jaehyun's is more blueish gray.
