She movin'! Blocked out a quick intro to Bianca's personality: its all about the money for her, so you better pay up! She's an Artificer by trade, but a Businesswoman by choice!

merry christmas from a special someone 🥰
Painting of a Venus De Milo replica statue in an implied before and after shot. In the before shot she is as she appears in the real world, though is wearing a santa hat. In the after shot she has split vertically down the middle revealing a D&D mimic's teeth and tongue. She appears to be belching up a reindeer antler and a red glowy ball nose. The caption reads "Happy Holidays from Venus De Mimic"

Hi everyone!

This is a little animation I made this year. I plan to make a short animated film featuring my characters. I hope I accomplish this next year!

A little bus/travel sketching!
Trying to find good shapes for the three protagonists of an idea I had. It's fun, but a bit of a struggle!

Also, welcome to this surprising number of new people around here!

This is probably my favorite artwork from last year. An older piece, but still one I'm particular fond of.

I keep coming back to these tarot inspired mechs because I had so much fun designing them and thinking about the world they are from.
I think I'm going to try and make a game about them. That way I can have my friends pilot their own make-believe-cool-robot assigned by fate.

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

Human art for human stories
Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as teenagers sitting on the curb in front of a basketball court. They look at each other as Aran ties his shoes. Both a peach soda drink in front of them and there is one basketball in front of Aran. In the back we see two guys play at the basketball court. City houses, a subway override with a train passing and the city skyline in the back. It’s a warm early summer evening, sun still out, and the colors are warm and soft. Digital art of original character Aran who sits depressed in his bedroom on the floor in front of his bed. He’s surrounded by unpacked moving boxes, and his black cat who tries to comfort him. The room and colors are darker and muted but there shines some bright red light from outside in and casts some light on Aran and the ground. Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as adults, at night in their local nyc neighborhood, kissing. Tao sits on his bike while Aran stands in front of him and slightly bends down to kiss him. Behind them the street and some houses and a traffic light. Above a dark sky with some stars. It’s a hot night and they both wear shorts and shirts. Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers in their neighbors backyard. An older man, the neighbor, is with them, as they play around an old car that is hooked up for repair. Aran is all excited and looks at the open engine room while the man explains it to him. Tao sits in the roof of the old car playing with a basketball. The backyard is cluttered with some junk and car repair parts. Some smaller single family houses in the back. It’s a hot late summer day. The grass is already yellow. And the overall colors are warm and saturated.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
