Turns out it’s once again #portfolioday lol

I’m Fake Macaw, a hobbyist ink artist whose art mostly centers on a story about a lone nomad exploring an abandoned planet. I also dabble in video game development (but haven’t posted anything game dev related if a while) :)

The Nomad (OC) making her way through a scrap heap to obtain some fresh water from a filtration device

The Nomad reminisces on the past while waiting out a storm from within her floating sailboat

The Nomad’s floating sailboat can be seen in the background making its way towards a spaceship from offworld pictured in the foreground

The Nomad fishing in a polluted ocean. She stares wistfully off into the distance. Her sailboat can be seen behind her.

Ink drawing of stinging nettles and hands in striking positions can be seen emerging from the plants. Several heads are hidden throughout the drawing. In the background, a horde of figures are seen climbing over each other, reaching out to a person falling from the sky. Framing the drawing are canyon walls.

Drawing loosely inspired by the song “Nettles” by Ethel Cain

WIP drawing of stinging nettles with hands and heads emerging from within. This was taken a week ago and is now super close to completion

Probably to keep people on the platform. Which is kinda wild cuz this is the same company touting their latest innovation/scourge known as “second-screen” movies (aka background noise while you scroll TikTok)

Fake Macaw @fakemacaw.bsky.social · 5d

Correct. It’s just a dataset + machine learning algorithm + text/media generator, really the only thing new is the variety of outputs it can generate. These companies would rather take mid slop over actually talented people if they could save even a cent

Haha all good, makes sense too, I think it’s a good way to reflect on and process the past and I think the ability to draw on past experience and transform it is part of what makes art so powerful

Hosting my first #ArtShare for the occasion, drop some of your art in the comments and I'll repost as much as I can!

painting of two groups of knights facing each other in front of a cloudy green landscape. the groups are mostly in darkness, save for the two leaders in the center of the image, who are sitting on horses and looking out into the valley behind them.

Double portrait of two different "sides" or personalities of the same fantasy character, a drow with dark grey-blue skin, long red hair and green lipstick. On the left she's shown with a calm, dreamy expression, looking off to the side; on the right side she's shown with an evil, devious smile, looking at the viewer and reaching a hand out towards them. Between the two at the center of the image is a big stone mask with glowing red eyes.

Painting of a dimly lit woman with dark wavy hair and a loose nightgown, she's shown from the chest up, leaning forward and holding a person's face by the chin while looking at them seductively, as if leaning in for a kiss.

Thanks :) it’s a bit weird cuz I’m arguably the most content I’ve been yet the art I decide to draw is quite melancholic
