Geralt of Rivia cosplayer wearing a simple shirt and sunglasses looking confused at a booklet as if lost. Around him are palm trees. Cosplay picture Geralt of Rivia leaning against a pillar looking over a courtyard lit in warm light. He crosses his arms in front of his chest and seems to be waiting for something. He's wearing the simple white shirt armour from the third Witcher game. Wide shot of a Priscilla cosplay from the Witcher. She's standing on top of a few stairs, under an archway with columns in an antique style, playing a stringend instrument. She's wearing a 16th-century renaissance dress version of her in-game design. The picture looks like it wants to imitate Renaissance art and the aesthetics of Toussaint. Cosplayer dressed as Andraste from the Dragon Age Games. Wearing a simple white dress and a long blue cloak, Andraste's hand is held out towards the viewer in invitation. She's standing in front of a church door. Her head is crowned in rays of light.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect.

The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

From Dare Obasanjo on Mastodon. Adobe is hitting the floor. #AI
Image of Adobe share price plummeting. Obasnajo writes: Adobe is becoming one of the biggest losers of the AI era. In a world where you can ask Gemini or ChatGPT to create any image you want, the need for Photoshop or any of Adobe’s other creative products has dwindled. This is a slow motion train wreck that the company may not survive as AI disrupts content creation.

My favourite moments as a DM are when players attempt aomething very unlikely their character would do and the dice are with them

Some unexpected powerful divine help arrived 🍃 😏

One of my favorite moments with my Druid baby Hazel was when he talked to some charred trees in the woods. They were hurting and our DM @elfmade.bsky.social allowed me to soothe them with a lucky NAT20 🥺💕

I love my boy so much.

9:41 Dragon, Vigil's Keep
#dragonage
an illustration of Zevran Arainai trying to stop Hero of Ferelden, Warden Ulric Cousland from leaving the Vigil's Keep with the other Wardens lured by the fake Calling from Corypheus Zevran is desperately talking (maybe even yelling at?) to Ulric, touching his face with one hand, holding a dagger in the other. Ulric as in a trance/sleep walking is reaching behind Zevran, looking like he's ignoring him. They are lit up by the full moon behind them. Around them, other Wardens are leaving the keep. All of the wardens' eyes are shining red.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.

Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.

It always drives me a little crazy when people say “you have to consider both sides.” No, you really don’t. For starters, there are usually far more than “both” (aka just 2) sides to an issue. And when one of them simply ignores facts or invents them, they don’t warrant any deeper consideration.

Just a tiny pottery shard from the 13th century with the faintest outline of a finger print
It always feels special to hold something that's been around for so long and find traces of the people who made and used the objects 💚

Out if nowhere my work related picture of a medieval pottery shard went far beyond my regular 5 likes and my lovely mutuals who follow my work day musing
And ngl it freaked me out a LOT that it could wander into a different "history" obsessed crowd
It didn't 🙏

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm an illustrator from Croatia and I've really been enjoying drawing things with stylization, symbolism and pensive characters 🌹

I'm completely available for TTRPG and book projects like this!

Stylized illustration of Loid from Warframe. He is depicted in a Mucha poster-inspired border in a shape reminiscent of the Dark Refractory and filled with pomegranate flowers and leaves. Loid is holding a single bead of the pomegranate and is seemingly asleep as he floats above the water. Albrecht is reaching out of the water for him but seems immaterial, almost like he is only a memory. Image containing three separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are: 1) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath. 2) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood. 3) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso. A set of scenes with my interpretation of what happened to Lucanis between the events from Tevinter Nights and Veilguard. He is unconscious and bleeding out, brought to Zara who uses blood magic to bind him, and wakes up with a start.

It’s #PortfolioDay and I'm trying to fight the imposter syndrome 😞

I’m Ju, a queer artist from Germany. I draw OCs, either my own or those of friends. I offer commissions every once in a while and everyone’s favourite seems to by my eerie art 😂

A picture of my cat-boy/shifter OC Kian hanging in vines, as the Hanged Man tarot card. He hanges in there upside down, but not like the usual card, but rather C-shaped. He seems to try to get out of the vines a bit, or rather thinking about what to do. (Commission) A dark and eerie picture. In front is a man, dressed in ancient chinese court politician clothes. His face is pale white and with lots of make-up, kinda like a mask. One of his eyes is completely black, the other one still kinda normale but also getting taken over by the darkness. He's attached to dark strings/lines like a marionette. His dress is ripped apart over his heart, and you can see dark veins creeping over his skin towards his heart, but never quite reaching it. The skin on his face and arm looks broken, like he's really just a puppet on strings. In the background we see ghostly shapes with faces that look like chinese opera masks. Their eyes are glowing. The background is bright green and purple and full of dark ghostly shapes. (Artfight) mahagloomy.bsky.social's OC Mariella. A beautiful lady with pale skin, long and very wavy, greying dark hair, and blue eyes. She looks towards us in surprise, as if caught in a bad moment. She's holding her hands in front of her and blood is running down from it. The picture is like a framed portrait and looks a bit washed-out and old. A dark creature with skeletal features, holding two golden sickles in its hands. Two shadows of the same person appear behind it. The creature’s face is a mask with a crystal stuck to its forehead. A single green eye looks out from behind the mask.

He's draped in heavy green velvet Cloak that is embroidered with starts, sequin and knights in various state of undress. Behind the cloak is a lace with knights, animals and flowers. Someone is behind the lace, pressing his fingers into it. digital painting of knight oc Wreg unbuckling another knight's cuisses.
