A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now

Hi, I'm Litda. I make art, video games, zines, comics, cosplay, tend a vegetable garden and cook food. I do love me some Tokusatsu.

Balancing real life atm, check out my itch(.)io! #litdaart

Close up of my submission to Pixel Farm run by Lampy(.)Casa. Plants include cucumbers, kabocha, red chili peppers, bok choy, chrysanthemum and cabbages. There are weeds and clovers where there is grass and there are three white call ducks wandering the farm. Other farms are visible in the background.

Fakeronto, a city based on Toronto with a Pride based on Toronto Pride. The detail of the convience store having both a trans flag and a LGBT flag on it is my favourite detail. There are three trees, one being a sakura tree and four gay pride booths in image. The main character is a tan girl with pink hair.

Art by me of Kaixa kneeling in a cake, holding his sword for 913 in a "babygirl" style pose. Happy Kaixa everyone!

Hand holding up tomato jar with the words, Tomato Jam and a slice of bread with half a pencil crayon drawn tomato and a butter knife, bottom half of tomato is tomato jam.

the sun finally cooperated enough to get a fairly accurate/less flat view of these holo pigeon stickers. I feel like photographing holo is always an uphill battle but sometimes it works out!

a sticker depicting 5 illustrated pigeons in a mix of colors including standard grey, white, and brown. The iridescence on their neck is created with a sparkly holographic material with a teal to purple gradient that shimmers and catches the light.

I’m so furious that legal NSFW art and artists are being slowly gentrified off the internet while billionaires make CSAM-generating robots with impunity

Dear Community,
I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an Al image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. XAl is reviewing to prevent future issues.
Sincerely, Grok

This one got turned into my profile picture(For now at least). I made it after listening to a bunch of Nikita Kryukov's music, he made Milk Inside a bag of Milk.

I wanted to make something using the colour palettes he tends to use, so I came up with this ( ´ ꒳ ` )

#3dart #lowpoly #OC

A girl at the center of the image, one eye closed, the other one wide open, her arms bent, with their palms facing toward her face. The girl faces the camera, her left eye drips mascara. Her right arm is a prosthetic, and its index finger points at her wide-open right eye.

She is wearing a black shirt, with symbols drawn in white, under this shirt, a long sleeved shirt with black and white stripes, her left hand wears a fingerless glove.

The background features an image of a street from a low angle, and to the right of this, lies a fragmented image, with blotches of colour.

Finally, between the girl and the background, there is large text, three characters of a nonsense writing system made by me.

The entire piece features a limited colour palette consisting of a saturated red, a very dark purple, and a desaturated light and dark green.

@brightsidegames.bsky.social

My favorite part about this joke is that an actual artist had to go out of their way to draw this. They didn't take the easy way out and actually use an AI generated image, they had an actual artist make a parody of AI art. And the joke is way better because of it.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
