Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice. www.theregister.com/2025/01/03/a...

✨ new pinned post ✨ I'm Chloé, french concept & comic artist, currently working full time in video games I draw *lots* of lesbians, I love playing Go & I probably post too much selfies 🌸

drawing of a woman entering some kind of cyber glowing bat, in a room full of old looking computers and wires and cables
there's a huge aquarium in the background with fishes and deepsea-like algae, etc.
the woman is linked to a machine by cables in her left thigh and neck, her eyes glow green and her skin too in some places

Drawing of me as a witch floating in the night sky, wielding necromancer magic, holding a skull, wearing a witch hat, spiderweb pattern tights, a jean jacket, fishnet top, big goth shoes

colored piece, fanart of Harrow from Harrow the Ninth
she's floating into the black space, holding a giant sword close to her chest, frowning in anger and sadness, tear rolling down her face painted as a skull
she's surrounded by many skulls with "IX" on their forehead, and ribcages, and bones

Hades 2 fanart showing Melinoe wielding her dagger and scythe, looking fierce, with Hecate behind her as some sort of guide/mentor

A bunch of recent studies from random photos aimed to up my inking game a bit, and in the post below also from screencaps.

Digital painting of a pale white merman perched upon a rock on the dark ocean waters at night, and a decapitated man's head in front of him.

The merman has wavy long hair, long sharp nails, and a sparkly scaly tail. He is flashing a devious smile, showing his fangs, and he's a balance of beautiful and sinister.

Hi, Bluesky. I suck at social media so not expecting much. Here's some of my art.

Runo ✦@artvaris.bsky.social · 2y ago

This character sketch page is still one of my personal favorites

A monochromatic sketch page of various fantasy characters. Most of them have horns. The textures and brush strokes are clearly visible and all 4 characters are portrayed from a side view.

This is a good example of why generative AI opt-outs don’t work: this is my music, but I have no way of opting it out of AI training. I composed this piece, but I didn’t make the recording and I don’t control the website where it’s hosted. www.boosey.com/audio-clip/I... 1/4

Just a reminder that mimicry does not justify replacement. GenAI script generation would only accelerate how fast we tire of regurgitated formulaic content and remind us of how much we need human creativity.

Big Tech is training AI on thousands of TV/film scripts. I spoke to showrunners, IP and business affairs lawyers — as well as the programmer at The Atlantic who examined this data set — to find out what happens next The latest Series Business @theankler.bsky.social theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

Let's see how this one goes. I'm here on bluesky now! I'm an illustrator and concept artist for fantasy game properties like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: the Gathering.

Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex.bsky.social · 2y ago

A bipartisan special parliamentary inquiry in Australia today said big tech is “pillaging culture, data and creativity” to train AI, and must license and pay for training data. This is how all governments should respond to this technology. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Zara Alfonso Illustration @zaraalfonso.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hello new followers! I’m Zara, an artist working on Magic: The Gathering & drawing & painting for myself in my free time. Here are some of my favorite painting I’ve done 🖤

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

“Tenacious Underdog” is a painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Streets of New Capenna set. A boxer lounges over the corner of the ring, he’s bruised but grinning as a figure from the cheering crowd hands him a glass potion bottle filled with red liquid.

“Bereaved Survivor” is a painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Innistrad Midnight Hunt set. A young girl from Innistrad mourns in front of the grave of her late sister, in her hand she clutches a locket. It’s late autumn and the weather is overcast and gray, on the edge of the first frost.

“Medusa Portrait” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso. A portrait of a young Medusa who looks peacefully towards the viewer, her hair is flowing mass of thick iridescent dark indigo snakes tied up in a head wrap.

Hello Bluesky! I’m Ryan and I do oil paintings, mostly for Magic: the Gathering and occasionally for myself

Karla Ortiz @kortizart.bsky.social · 2y ago

Here are some of the #MagicTheGathering cards I’ve made in the past! 🙌

Teysa Envoy of Ghost: a woman in black and white fantasy garb sits before you, judging.

Ghoulcaller Gisa: A deranged woman wearing a black veil, smiles a toothy grin, as she is surrounded by the undead she herself dug up.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver: Ashiok, a human like creature with half of their head gone, replaced by horns and smoke, hovers above the ground. From the smoke, nightmarish creatures form.

Liliana, Defiant Necromancer: A beautiful black haired woman walks on top of a mound, where she walks the undead emerge to adore and worship. Embers flowing in the background.

Fascinating. Fashion as an unavoidable consequence of trends and choices in economic and urban development.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2y ago

Why is Tokyo so fashionable? Some theories. 🧵

Saagar Enjeti tweets: "Probably a cold take but IMO Tokyo is the male fashion capital of the world: whether it’s western wear, suits, street wear the aesthetic is refined to the highest possible level

From the salaryman to the rebel teen they are impeccably dressed

It also helps no one is fat"
