Tadaaaaaa did I cook #originalcharacter #characterdesigner #characterdesign #unicorn #artsky #ocsky #modelsheet

A model sheet of a Unicorn headed woman with blue hair and a flowing red and gold dress. She is holding a sword in her left hand. Various expressions of her either posing serenely or angrily in black and white are lined up next to her, with the name "Cosmia" in the corner.

The same image but with a white background.

Saw a post on Twitter and decided to redraw it with me and @shslivalice.bsky.social's OCs

#fallout #falloutnewvegas #fnv #falloutnv #couriersix #courier6 #oc #originalcharacter #shitpost

A Pinterest screenshot with two characters drawn over it.

The left character is stretching her arms -- she has red hair in a Mohawk braid, goth makeup, and is wearing a corset with shorts. Her arms are covered in tattoos.

The right character us wearing a fluffy coat, holding up a bloated fish and giving a thumbs up gleefully. His face is scarred.

I will never tire of redrawing this vintage cigarette ads with #auntiecleo

#theouterworlds #theouterworlds2 #obsidian #fanart #artnouveau #redraw #commsopen

A redraw of a cigarette ad (next image) with Auntie Cleo and Moon Man in the places of the woman and the cat. Cleo is a woman with two beehives as her hair, a green streak out front. She's wearing a green dress with a high collar and a frilly white apron. Moon Man is a little moon mascot in a black tie suit and a cute little top hat, looking up at Cleo with his hands on his hips. Cleo seems to be showing off a cigarette and a match.

An ad for Job Cigarettes, featuring a bare-chested woman (breasts obstructed by her right arm) showing her cigarette off to a black cat at her feet.

Sketched up a Little Sister instead of paying attention to my class #winning

#sketch #traditionalart #bioshock #bioshock2 #littlesister #horror #pencil #pencilart #pencilsketch

A pencil sketch of a Little Sister from Bioshock 2. Her hair is in a high ponytail, tied back with a big bow. She is looking over her shoulder, her head bending further than it should: she is clutching her arm with her left hand and her ADAM needle with her right. She is stood in a puddle, and covered in scuffs and bandages.

I want to draw my three favourite narrative haunters (Azem, Chara, and Nerevar) but I need to do the six characters first.

"Come to Red Mountain, old friend. For the fellowship and honor that once we shared, I would grant you counsel and power, if only you would pledge that friendship anew."

A painting depicting an Argonian in a dramatic yellow robe, brandishing a silvery-blue spear. Their head is encompassed by a faint halo. In the background is the volcano Red Mountain. Dagoth Ur's mask can be made out in its blood-coloured smoke.

Please laugh at me using the French for fanart of the "I can't read fucking French" game

REVENGE OF THE LOBOTOMITE!

#fallout #falloutnewvegas #fnv #oldworldblues #owb #couriersix #courier6 #falloutoc #falloutfanart #fanart #ocsky #artsky #youngartist #commsopen

My Courier, Elvira. The top of her head has been cut open to reveal her exposed brain, and she is pulling an angry expression at the reader.

Her arm is nailed to the wall at the wrist like a displayed moth. Her chest has been vivisection -- her ribcage, (metal) heart, and lungs are visible to the viewer. The illustration has a noise and glitch filter over it.

The same illustration, but "REVENGE OF THE LOBOTOMITE" is printed in the corner in Fallout's title font.

Elvira's too skinny and her ass is not big enough but I was trying to pay attention to my lecture while doing this so.

This is the cost of casual legitimization of genai. The blood of this kind of suffering is on the hands of everyone who uses it for all the kind of stuff Giger has pointed out. Because you've been told for at least two years now what the cost of it is and to stop doing it.

GigerPunk @gigerpunk.bsky.social · 22d

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’
I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions.

Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.
