Overwhelmed by all the responses, ty and sorry if I can't reply to everyone!
To be clear, this was a knee jerk reaction - I'm not sure yet what can be done bc it's official D&D artwork, maybe it falls under "fair use"?? (As lame as that headline might be)
Idk. Rest assured I'll look into it tho

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

I'm in a pack 💛 and in GREAT company too
I had been wanting to make one of these for ages, and now that adding folks to Starter Packs is easier, and I had some time to kill while waiting for my plane...
Here is my pack of fave/recommended artists! Some of my heroes, my mates and many folks that keep me inspired! 💙

Note to self
Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Some favourite sketches from a life drawing session with the lovely @davidieuan.bsky.social, from before I left London. Should I start a thread with all my life drawing, or do people prefer separate posts? What's the consensus here?

This includes me! 🐻
My Q2 #MTG card signings are stacked with talent! It's basically a MagicCon's worth of artists, with fan favorites and new artists that have never signed! Let's take a look to see who's on the lineup!

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.
I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

This is so wild
Horrified by this e-mail I got from a real illustration agency this morning, advertising the chance to *USE AI* to generate images in the style of one of their illustrators. You join their plan for $$$, pick an artist, give the AI a prompt, then reach out if you want specialization.
