Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this WONDERFUL & ESSENTIAL page on the placement of BODY FAT on figures by the talented @marinscos! REAL BODY SHAPE VARIETY is a part of what makes us all beautiful, and that should be reflected in our art. I LOVE this. #ART #anime #ARTIST

about sheeran's statements, and every middle of the road statement like it:
if you are making a 'safe space for everyone' you are making an unsafe space for those in danger, bc you are letting those that harm them in

Looking for someone who can do 90’s point-and-click style pixel art for a commission. Short notice but it’d need to be done in the next two weeks. Lemme know if that’s you, and share your portfolio please!

One thing they don’t tell you about being a working artist is that every once in a while a picture is simply Haunted and, for reasons beyond the reach of man, simple things you have done a thousand times will be Very Hard and Look Bad and you will lose ten years of skill for the duration of that job

the difference between fine art and illustration is nothing more than the economic class of the artist making it and that of their patrons.

Are they seriously bringing back “That’s Not Art, That’s Illustration” discourse in the year 2026 😑

The Mona Lisa was a commissioned art piece, Sistine Chapel was commissioned, Guernica was commissioned …
a *huge* amount of art was the product of Artists having Patrons or being Commissioned for a specific piece …
Illustration is Art and it’s *weird* to hear anyone claiming otherwise.

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony.
Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc

This is such a great thread because it tells you instantly how to answer the supposedly intractable regulation problem: liability, potentially joint liability, for the person who set up the AI system.
If I was just a little more condescending, I'd start a web series where I sit down with someone who thinks LLMs are inherently harmful, help them install one on their laptop, and then we sit and wait for it to do something harmful on it's own. 30 minutes of uncomfortable silence. "Any moment now..."

the dual purpose of "our AI is getting too powerful!" is firstly to generate hype & secondly to provide a reason to scale it down that isn't uh oh, this nonsense is very expensive and we can't figure out a way to make a profit with it

I’ve always loved the phrase, “living well is the best revenge.” Despite how it sounds, it isn't about spite; it’s about breaking free from a toxic cycle. It means taking all the energy you would have spent fighting back, and using it to build a life of peace and joy instead.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop.
You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.
