i think, now, more than ever its really important to interact with people who like your art and vice versa, and cultivate more community and trust among artists and commissioners and followers in general. its not a perfect system by any means but i think building trust between everyone will help
Fuzzikayu@fuzzikayu.bsky.social · 23h agoThis is what people mean by AI is theft. Someone I know later found out an artist (16k followers) they got a commision from uses AI and now they don't have funds to commish me or another artist they like. Not only does the slop machine steal art, these scammers directly steal work from real artists
I love how you can draw a character a hundred times and then the hundred-and-oneth time is when you completely forget his proportions, costume design, how arms work or anatomy in general
Can you find something *incredibly* funny and also wildly inappropriate at the same time? Because...
Aidan O’Brien@aidanobrien.bsky.social · 17h agoFirst, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.
There are few things on this Earth as lovely as a cup of Scottish Breakfast on a chilly and/or rainy morning.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

in a world of AI slop, give someone's hand crafted webcomic a try
I don't think even a totally healthy person would survive this so can we squash this mess about them having underlying health issues? Even if they had the worst of health conditions, nobody deserves to d*e from contaminated produce and it's REALLY BAD OPTICS to suggest so
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
Some things never change & some things remain the same. lol
Our culture is lacking more cult classics because people can't just randomly discover stuff lile BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA or CRITTERS playing on the Sci-Fi Channel
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 3d agoIt’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
“You’re a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, how come you don’t like Palantir?” “You’re a huge fan of 1984, how come you don’t like the surveillance state?” “You’re a huge fan of Fahrenheit 451, how come you don’t like ritual book burnings?”
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Quality Comics has some memorable superheroes in the Golden Age. This isn’t about them. It’s about two weirdos with bizarre powers. One had a bee and one could whistle. In the 40s, that meant you fought crime! youtu.be/wgmVb42u2o4?...

every time someone buys a commission, an artist gets their wings. their draw-wings.
Translation: The issue is that she's Black but we can't say that so we're just gonna say some bullshit.
Dort McGork@exstarwarsfan.bsky.social · 4d agoThe issue isn't that she is black. A black Mary Jane Watson would be fine. The issue is that she isn't playing MJ, not even a particularly similar character, but they call her MJ with the initials meaning something else It's corporate fanservice bullshit while not actually adapting the comics
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
