Critical Role Campaign 4 Episode 1: Cold open on an execution scene before any introduction at all. Episode proceeds to be characters mourning the executed person at a funeral and this serves as the character introduction.

Me: Time to catch up on the new Critical Role season episode 1 that I missed while my jetlagged ass was lost in time... I wonder if it'll be as grimdark as a lot of the stuff Brennan Lee Mulligan has been doing lately or if they went for a lighter feel to freshen things up....

I'm wearing my N7 hoodie over my Anomaly Concept Art Conference 2015 shirt today so my outfit is really giving "I wish I were living in better times"

While on a very long flight I finished up this Hornet piece I had started to celebrate Silksong <3 I adore this game, its artistry, and everything that represents in these times when the arts are so troubled. Well done Team Cherry <3 #silksong #hollowknight #hornet #fanart

The kinds of losers who are using AI for "companionship" are the people who, in a horror movie, would run enthusiastically into the darkness and get eaten by the human-imitating-face-eating-monster because it cried out in the voice of some other person it just ate.

A character sculpt I was commissioned to do by a friend to celebrate a short film she worked on (I can post more info on the film and where to watch it when I have it) 💚 I also used this as an opportunity to familiarize myself with rendering in Cycles, since I've spent my whole career using Arnold

A very merry SHAAAA and ADEEEENO to you all

And that would fuel the acquisition of so many skills, push you to get better, to overwhelm yourself with all of the different crafts you could take on and enjoy. And motivation could come from seeing foreign animation that inspired you, games, even fan art and memes...

And in that case... art will have no meaning... nothing that truly inspires. I grew up in an age of the internet where creativity was truly flourishing. You'd get exposed to amazing pieces of work in all sorts of fields and think "woah cool I want to try to do that" and then you'd try...

Another fun little look development piece I did with Blender ✨ This time I wanted to combine my 2D texture painting with a couple of watercolour shading tutorials to go for sort of a gouache painting look. I'm pretty happy with how things came out!💚 #lookdevelopment #3Dart #dragon #blender

A little dragon creature concept I sculpted and painted in Nomad - I’ll be playing with more surfacing looks with this in blender later

AI developers and users are a fucking plague on society and the planet. Words cannot describe how much I hate them all.

While lying around sick today I’ve been revisiting the old Eva series and it’s been nice to go back to. Enough years have passed and the nostalgia monetization engine has moved on to other things, and now I can just properly enjoy a cool old piece of media I used to like a lot

I hope you all have everything taken from you until your life isn’t worth living. I don’t just want someone to kill you, I want you to have everything taken from you until your life is so horrible you do it yourself.

I want every AI developer and shill to find themselves disabled, disfigured, stuck in a system that hates them and doesn’t want them to exist. Trapped in a world where technology that COULD help is never applied in the right way.
