I'm a concept artist and art director, currently doing product design for AAA gaming companies.
I listen to waaay too much heavy metal and I like astronomy.

The fact an industry that relies on basically destroying the only planet we can live in AND ignores the laws put in place to protect artists and copyrighted works hasn't fucking died yet baffles me. GenAI serves no purpose at all.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

I feel bad for having excluded other 10 horror films I absolutely love, but oh well. lol

The Subject by Timo Tjahjanto is a short cyborg body horror film that was included in the V/H/S 94 horror anthology. It's an extremely niche genre of horror that genuinely scares but the film is produced in such a way it feels like you're playing an FPS. It's brilliant!

If you're constantly looking for media that reminds you of SOMA (the short movies and the video game), which rewired my brain in such a way I'm still hungover after having played it almost 8 years ago, Zygote is the closest thing to it I've experienced imo.

You can watch Zygote on Youtube if you haven't already, it's an absolutely incredible sci-fi film

Monochrome commissions for the multi-talented @dserpentes.bsky.social (from 2019 and 2020 respectively), of their characters Bea and their Humblewood DnD character, Daisy. 🧡🎨

Monochrome bust of Bea, a character that belongs to Dserpentes. This is a 3/4 portrait.

Close-up of the same drawing showcasing the details: Her lips are painted black and her eyes are bright blue.

Bust commission of Dserpentes' character, Daisy, a Humblewood DnD OC. Daisy's an anthropomorphic mouse. She's looking at the viewer with a slight, confident smile. She has a flower on the top of her hair, decorating her long braid which is thrown over her shoulder.

This commission sketch was done in 2020, during the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd, and all the profits were donated towards international Black-led organisations and nonprofits.

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust.

When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

Right apparently we cannot tell someone to rest in piss or whatever, apparently that's a crime against white male podcasters and youtubers. I don't know man.

I left the website ran by a confirmed incel nazi and instead came here to deal with censorship, mods going through mental health struggles and treating their user base condescendingly, mods lying to their user base regarding AI scrapping, and uh, transphobes and more nazis. Cool, cool.

So an anime girl with prosthetics was labeled "explicit sexual content", & then we learn that prosthetics are commonly labeled this way, & then we learn that automod has been outsourced to this ai company, & THEN we learn that the ai company might be using all our images to train ai & mods go silent

I don't know who Taylor Swift is, I've never watched her movies, and at this point I'll avoid her out of spite.
