Big Dreams
A little red dragon (Ember, from the book "The Bakery Dragon" by Devin Elle Kurtz) is seen from above in this digital painting. He is sitting on cobblestones, which are wet with puddles after a rainstorm. He gazes up at the much larger dragons in the sky above him. They have dropped some gold coins they carry.

Time to get back to what matters, my shorks OC's!

I had the idea of redesigning Roberto's tattoos to make them more meaningful, so I did some studies of how they would look on his body! 🦈✨

(Or just an excuse to draw Berto shirtless?)

#shark #sharkfolk
A concept art illustration exploring ideas for redesigning the tattoos of my sharkfolk character, Roberto. It shows the tattoos on his body from various angles. There are three tattoos in total: On his right arm: A misty moon between clouds. On his left arm: Stylized giant ocean waves that start on his forearm and end as starry nebulae on his chest. On his back: Some kind of mythological figure, a type of cosmic creature with three heads with stars in place of heads and a fish tail at the end, a kind of fanciful stylization of three shooting stars.

Ink drawing- a fairy queen stands staring at the viewer. In one hand she holds a scepter, in the other she lifts her heavy skirt slightly. She is standing in a bramble of blackberries in front of a tree. She has big moth wings.

🔴 I RAN SO YOU COULD LIVE
#oc #illustration
Another character from my comic Jade Kingdoms! Isolde had a vision once, of hearing prince Bahatar's final breath. She's been haunted by this ever since, which came as a second blow after losing the God she worshipped. It caused her to flee her former kingdom, in search of hope and a means to rescue the prince. As she journies the lifeless planet, she finds scraps of her god in the most impossible of places- the Jade Kingdom.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
sifu.tweety.fish tweety fish @sifu.tweety.fish · 3d
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I’m coming back to this. Like…can people opt out & still buy a normal phone anymore? Like is rotom a mandatory thing? You can’t just be like “actually…I don’t want rotom included.” And they’d say “😬 well…no sorry we only do it with rotom now so you’re gonna have to ask it to remove itself”??
tani269.bsky.social ~Tanisha Cherislin~ @tani269.bsky.social · 24d
Midday thoughts: so like…is rotom okay with being mass produced into a phone? Why are the citizens of the pokemon universe okay with having a sentient(or at least a semi sentient since they did tone down his talking each generation since he was introduced) being on their person at all times like..??

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

Angelo: "¡Que no fui yo! *Guau, guau* Reany: "¡Mentiroso!" *Guau* Rany tiene a Angelo inmovilizado con un "Camel Clutch" y esta modiendo la oreja de Angelo. Oso del personal: "¿Deberíamos parar esto?" Castor del personal: "¡Atrévete tú!" Detrás de ellos pasa Bangaroo, un luchador canguro antropomórfico comiéndose el burrito de Reany.
