No one likes it when I post orcs.

#art #noai #orc #roman #digitalart #ClipStudioPaint #CSP

Epic, Frank Frazetta style painting of a beefy male orc in Roman lorica segmenta armor, leaping through the air to bring down an attack from his sword onto offscreen combatants below. He is also bearing a scuta style shield. From below we see the tips of spears, billhooks, and a horned helmet, while in the distance a tattered flag is waving. This piece typically performs badly whenever the artist, The Dammitch posts it, despite him having worked really hard on it. Maybe people just don't like orcs?

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

I am still making art. Sorry for the deluge of text only posts and stress. Going to try and get back to several people today.

I’ve thought about Oberon’s last day every day since it happened. Dreamed about him last night again. It’s made waking up and starting the day feel strange.

Along with the Antifa nonsense, the goal here is to reclassify any dissent as dangerous. Which is not something elected officials in a democracy do.

This makes for some grim reading, but the Baltic states really don't have any other choice but to prepare for the worst. And we all know what 'the worst' would be like after seeing what Russia planned and actually has been doing in Ukraine.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

(I'd have mixed feelings about furry stuff in Spencers to begin with, but the fact that it's all AI slop just makes it worse)
