Birds are dinosaurs who shrugged off a couple apocalypses. Some eat bone marrow. Some drink nectar. They outswim fish in the sea. They smile politely at gravity’s demands. ‬ ‪I am grateful to see them. I am grateful to feed them. I am grateful to know them.‬

"If the Big 4 does not survive this, it also spells the death knell for most printed sewing patterns like ours, since there will no longer be a printer capable of producing large-scale tissue sheets." I … did not know I should be worried I might not be able to get patterns ever again

Crustaceans abandoning their more familiar (to us) forms and becoming messed-up parasites is peak body horror to me. Cronenberg eat your heart out, dendrogaster exists

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

the eternal struggle with doing a webcomic: trying to balance "I'm only human, let's not torture myself with drawing something complicated" with "don't be a fucking coward and do the cool shit"

I also do fantasy artwork! Need a token for your ttrpg? I'm your gal. (And while I'm here--I write a webcomic! It's a sci-fi called Falling Leaves with characters/settings based on cells and their molecules. Read for free at www.fallingleavescomic.com and on comicfury and webtoon canvas!)

A painting of a rabbit leaping, with the sun forming a halo behind him. From the right emerges an amalgamation of wings and snapping skeletal canine teeth. The painting is based on the opening mythos of the novel Watership Down: The Prince With a Thousand Enemies. A dragon boss token designed and drawn for a homebrew dungeons and dragons campaign I was in at the time. It's snakelike, with three pairs of legs (two of them arms) and has the wings of a luna moth. It holds an energy orb that gives off a trail of smoke.A digital piece. Ninea, the protagonist of my webcomic Falling Leaves, stands on a plane of pink glass beneath a sky full of stars and blue-green clouds. Below her, the glass is cracking. She is an alien species created for the comic: she is humanoid, green, with clawed feet and a tail, with frills on her tail, shoulders, and head. She wears a simple gray tunic and pants, and a flowing gray scarf.A page from my webcomic Falling Leaves. In it, a group of unknown soldiers runs past a defeated mech (shaped, broadly, like a paper nautilus's "shell") and toward a long winding staircase down into a hole in the planet flanked with concrete and metal struts. Dialogue indicates that they have breached the planet's Nucleus.

Indie devs and a major game storefront losing revenue because Funko used an AI tool to confuse a domain registrar that has no appeals process is a very 2024 enshittification stew

itch.io@itch.io · 2y ago

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Watching some landscape oil painting timelapses makes me kind of want to do another hell creek painting in oils. The last one I did was in 2022, it was my second ever oil painting, time to approach the concept again.
