Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Black and white sketch of a woman sitting on a stool. Her legs are crossed and her hands are on her knees. She has short curly black hair, and long black acrylics. She is wearing a simple black bra and panties, as well as black platform stiletto heels.

I love drawing Gabby, but I've realized I almost never put any clothes on her. Guess we all got that one Ho OC lol. #digitalart #originalcharacter

A painting on wood cut in the shape of a cathedral panel. The painting depicts a mausoleum in a dark swampy forest. The mausoleum is surrounded by lit candles, with a pile of small bones at the entrance. The door is slightly cracked open.

A digital portrait of an Asian man tilting his head upwards ever so slightly while holding a red eye above his face, close to his missing eye. He has gray hair and one dark eye that is looking at the camera. His lips are slightly parted and he has a silver piercing on his lower lip. He's dressed in a black nondescript jacket with a white turtleneck and he wears a skull earring. Two of his fingers are prosthetic.
The background is dark pink and there's a circle decorating around Su-jin's head, with a small bird sitting on the branch.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Black sketch of a woman looking up towards a crown above her. her elbows are near her waist with her hands near her shoulders. There are rough gesture drawings all around her of hands pulling at her clothes, wrists and reaching for the crown. The background is a neutral grey.

A rough sketch of a woman looking up towards a crown. Her elbows are tightly tucked against her sides with her hands up at her shoulders. She is wearing a medieval styled dress and chain belt. An intricate crown is held in the air by gesture drawings of disembodied hands. More hands are pulling at the woman's wrists, clothing and hair. The background is a flat neutral grey and the lineart is in various shades of black and grey.

Trying to work through some grief by noodling at an old personal piece, and it's a little odd seeing how much my art has progressed in only 2 years.

A woman with six arms sitting on a cairn throne. She has a crown made of many red hands and bones. She has white eyes and black lipstick. In her hands, she is holding an incense censor, a raven feather, a realistic heart, and a skull with gold vampire fangs. She is surrounded by green candles and fog. Behind her is a night sky and dead trees.

My most recent painting, Madam Death. A bit of a cliche name, I know. Painted for my first ever gallery show! I'm proud as hell of her!

Black and white image of two characters. One has large wings and minimal armor. The other is basically fully armor clad and has a large zweihander sword over his shoulder.

last night after I read that comic, and with a friend also going into their WIPs folder, I felt reinvigorated to work on a WIP I haven't touched in years

It's basically just a couple of OC portraits, but I have always wanted to finish them

A Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) sitting in between two seashells. There is one on the bottom and one on top, covering its entire mantle and part of its head, with only its eyes sticking out. One pair of arms are visible along with a mantle opening. Because of the shells, it looks like it is wearing a clam costume. The octopus is grey and brown with white suckers. The sand is grey with small sea plants sticking out.

I know hiding in shells is their whole thing, but Coconut Octopuses (Amphioctopus marginatus) pretending to be bivalves never gets old.

Digital art close-up of a very fluffy pigeon from the top down, in a vague heart shape. It's very pink and lavender, surrounded by tinier bits of fluff and feather.

Digital illustration of a human hand holding a feral pigeon that is grey with dark and lighter spots and a light head. In its beak is a red thread that holds a golden, vintage key. The thread loops around the fingers on the hand.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Pssssst. We're just about a week away from my BackerKit campaign launching with the goal to bring an audio book of The Dark Side of Super to life.

Any support (likes, follows, shares, screaming unto the void) are much appreciated in these last few days!

The illustration of the skeleton laying into the ground in the woods. There's a slight blue glint in one of the sockets that matches with the glint of the ring that stayed on the bones.

Here's my new stickers! If they look familiar to you, it's because they probably are! I made my art into stickers! ✨💖

I really wanted to make something with a vintage vibe and fits into ephemera or junk journaling spreads. Ill be sharing more pictures and info about them later 💖
