Formerly someone who wanted to be an artist to make money. Now I just want to make money to be an artist. Easily distracted, it is what it is. I mostly post in english aunque a veces también en español. https://ko-fi.com/luissopelana

computer: oh, that's a wonderful idea, what a brilliant insight you have into the nature of the universe, I'm so glad that you have chosen to confide in me about this. It feels like we are standing at the edge of a new dawn, you and I together. Friendship is magic.

Me: i'm not reading that fuck u

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

I'm Santi Casares, an author and illustrator of children's books in search of representation. I decided to create this spooky illustration because who doesn't love Halloween? Honestly! :)

Portfolio: www.santiagocasares.com

A floating ghost seems to be having a conversation with a jack-o-lantern. In the background we see a spooky victorian house that has a single light on. Underneath is the information of the illustrator: Santi Casares, an Author/Illustrator in Search of Representation.

Aw, maaaaan. I went for a rewatch and the fine print warnings that appear all over the video have been blurred.

Those spires quickly caught my eye in the trailer. Muy chingón.

I haven't even clicked on it and Sermon has already earwormed its way in.

Tilly Norwood: specifically tailored for the Xennials who still have that Maxim poster of Aki Ross in a bikini hanging on their man cave walls.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Computer games of old that used hex grids basically imposed them on a square one, so I think you're onto something there.

I understand the use of the original crossover promo pic to illustrate the blurb, but the DC laundry soap logo?

Every time I see a surprise Mexico City cameo I get all worked up like Leo DiCaprio in that scene from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood...

A quick scene from the "Flynn Lives" trailer for the movie Tron: Ares, featuring a bird's eye view of downtown Mexico City street Belisario Domínguez.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Ah, the good ol' days where you could just nick some celebrity's image for your game and no one would bat an eye.

New Saudi EArabia would never. Cristiano Ronaldo needs those personality rights royalties.
