Tiny reminder that you can support me over on Patreon and see a _lot_ of full sketches. It helps me pay rent and focus on my own art 🩷

Went to university for programming and games dev, ended up having such a bad time (not because of programming but because of how the uni handled things) that it threw me off it completely plus learned I HATED offices. Then ended up voice acting because of a friend and I like doing voices.

Trans pride Zaku from the Gundam Assemble series of minis !

It's was a really fun mini to paint, the sculpt is pretty great, despite some simplifications made to allow the model to be push fit (the gap between the cable and the legs isn't hollowed)

Los Angeles friends! There is a WELL-kept, social, fixed cat named “Cheddar” who has been a stray at the National History Museum for over a year but DOES NOT HAVE A HOME - and would like one!

Please reach out to me if you or someone you know could become an owner - I have more info I can provide!~

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

Can we do with more nuance? Sure. I've gone to length before describing how AI generated assets can end up in games without even the devs knowing about it, because that shit is like digital asbestos and it's poisoning asset libraries.

But as a customer? If I say I don't want it, I don't want it!

Quite frankly, I find that the people who are rejecting the generative AI tech, who are refusing products with that kind of AI, have a much more thorough understanding of it than those who are buying into the AI hype bubble. The only people dazzled by it are CEOs who can't see past the dollar signs.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

if this doesn't freak out about the level of political influence payment processors can casually, easily and quickly exert, please pay more attention
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced
