I want to make it perfectly clear that I don't "create" using Generative AI. I think that S**t is lazy and steals from real artists. This is my Process:

Joel Bisaillon (@umbraludus) | Cara - Artist Social & Portfolio Platform

The Process: recently I was explaining to a client how I create art in a form that doesn't connect with the AI art of the times and here was my example. (1) The first image is a dog. I purchased this...

Early morning coffee with my fur baby in my lap. His little paws kneading the air as I rub his belly. It kind of makes it hard to work, having only one hand to type or use the trackball.

I need to get my ass in gear because I don't know how long I'm going to have this opportunity to be unemployed.

Thank you for hosting.

I'm a Freelance Illustrator who likes monsters, magic, and sci-fi mega-cities. Most of my work can be found in spec-fic zines and TTRPGs or my webcomics. I hide Daz Studio and 3D models under digital paint.

A jawless zombie does a slide step dance move near some old ruins at night. Tiki torches light his dilapidated stage.

A blocky spaceship arrives at a planet to find the debris of several spacecraft floating about with asteroids. All while a bright nebula lights up space behind the new arrival.

A giant troll is superimposed in the back of a Nordic lake, framed by two mountains, and the aurora borealis dances over its head.

A Greek warrior readies his spear on the deck of a Trireme, while off in the distant rocky shore, a six-headed Hydra awakens from a slumber.
