"Elaine and Van trying to make a gingerbread house but Van keeps eating it." another prompt for #MerryTrailsmas

I haven't met them so I hope this still feels likely... xD Was a bit nervous cause I've never drawn them but I think they turned out fine

Watercolor sketch of Van Arkride and Elaine Auclair from Trails through Daybreak. Van is wearing a red top while Elaine is wearing a mint green knit sweater and white apron. She is about to pipe icing but she ends up looking confused. Van on her left is looking sideways with crumbs on his face and his mouth evidently filled with food. Text beside Elaine says "Huh? Where are all the cookies...? (Those were for the gingerbread house)." Meanwhile, text next to Van says "Who *chews* knows..."

This is a great clip. Say no to the future they want.

But also actively build the future we want. Honestly, I think that's the part we're really struggling with. In the absence of our own vision to give us direction, we'll still get dragged along with whatever is happening.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

my sketch of what the confession scene would look like in pentiment. it's extremely rough, like kid's drawing rough. Finished scene for Pentiment's confession section. Looks amazing, great work by Hannah, Soojin, et al.

Too many people think the issue is "ai look bad" not the stolen data sets not the workers rights not the climate change and the fact that people CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN ON THEIR HEAT because they're subsidizing data centers, let alone the misinformation and fascism

fantasy map illustration depicting a landscape full of ragged mountains up and down, crossed by crooked roads, some on giant stone structures. There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds. a fantasy map illustration depicting a continent with a bigger mainland and a large island to the west of it. the biomes go from snowy mountains, a vast wetland, grasslands with many hills. the prevalent features here is that it is crossed by many rivers in all directions and it is surrounded by a the shades of a vast submarine landscape that where part of this land before a big flood catastrophe. colourful drawing of an island crossed by a mountain range, rivers and forests scattered around. a planar map in the shape of a compass rose. The direction arrows are the four classical elemental planes with the material plane in the centre and several layers of other planes of existence around it.

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33.

Watching what I thought was a "pretty good" game get transformed into A Cultural Object has been disheartening.

So I have some thoughts on glitz, glamour, and respectability...

Futurama: Zapp Brannigan, space captain and velour-clad moron. An incompetent Shatneresque figure who said something similarly stupid. His second in command, Kif Kroker, a lizard-like green alien, looks at him with disdain.
