Ravenloft - The Horrors Within (and other cool stuff!) has just been announced by @dndbeyond.com and I'm glad to say I made FIVE regional, watercolor maps for it! Can't wait to show them! :)

Yeah, I'm considering ditching it completely (after I did it with Twitter) - but it's no easy since as an artist is pratically the only way to have some visual exposure here in Italy (bluesky is pratically unheard of)...

This all began with a concerned mutual reaching out to me, stating that they saw a notification that pointed at me using the Meta AI app and asking if my stance on generative AI had changed.
That’s when I learnt that Meta has been quietly using random people’s accounts to promote their app. The catch is… these people never actually downloaded the app. Including myself.

I just wanted to make this post to warn people. If you see a notification like that - know that it’s a lie, I never downloaded any AI app and never will. I’m an artist who values hard work and human effort, and generative AI repulses me to an unimaginable degree.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole.

Thanks to you - the video is absolutly dope and it shows every ounce of human art and love behind it. Much needed in those times - as is the importance of uplifting other human artists!

Thanks again!

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Dangerous Light On a lost effect from the analog film era.

We researched all we could from photography to optical printing and the effects of film on light to understand the whole process before emulating it.

Also, the labels that ChatGPT spouted out are ALL wrong, names changed to nonsensical word jumble.

For comparison, here is my first map ever and one made last year for WotC Adventures in Faerun, five years later.

But hey, always better to rely on a plagiarism machine that spout out garbage, instead of having fun improving, right?
