thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data
GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine Triggers Immune Response Before Tumors Develop
Phase I results show early promise for a vaccine designed to prevent pancreatic cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease.

"The Replicant", a promotional short film by french duo Milli (& Wizz studio) for Louis-Gabriel Nouchi clothing collection (LGN Spring/Summer '26). Slightly inspired by Blade Runner ;-] (and it's really hot in France today). Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdYQ...
I hate drawing so much. I do it all day five plus days a week, it's the only thing that's stuck to me since childhood, and if I'm not doing it between 10pm and 4am it's an odious, masochistic chore.
Taking commissions for $25 to help with bills & things if anyone’s interested! DM or e-mail me Melodyiza77@gmail.com
Bro, 500 bucks a month for an individual PPO plan... If I could afford that, I might throw myself down a flight of stairs just to get my money's worth

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.
On the other hand, I finally caught up on naddpod and it's fucking great. And everyone should listen to Dungeon Court even if you've spent 0 minutes playing ttrpgs.
No matter how many times I try to get into it, Critical Role just isn't for me.
I miss a lot about LA, but Idk it's really great being able to see my little sisters semi-regularly.

A lined and coloured version of a drawing I sent to @penbee.art earlier! Miracle is such a kind and wonderful artist and I need to draw Quill much much much more! #CombotronArt
another from that one late late night batch. been re-listening to mmx soundtracks and hadn't drawn a robot in a while so the best character design after sonic the hedgehog
I should be able to walk away from all obligations with no consequences and wipe the slate clean once.
Last late night post. Was reliving 2018 listening to shitty mashups, Undertale remixes and Undertale mashups so Hyundyne. Reference? Never.
More late night. Cute Adventure Time characters that don't look like Adventure Time characters with cool hair.
Andi and Frankie from late night drawing. I can never get this kind of fluidity during work hours.
My life is divided up into two main acts and those are before and after they stopped releasing proper Mega Man X games.
