I've been looking through some old art and decided to rework and improve some of the pieces. The figure felt too small and unnoticeable and I also expanded the canvas to add shattered moon instead of just empty galaxy.

Tex Talks Battletech the Black Knight will soon be upon us. You just might find it under the tree on Christmas day.
In the meantime, those Capellans aren't going to chop themselves up.

I went to see #Avatar3 #FireandAsh today, and it was a ton of fun. No film is perfect, but as far as spectacle is concerned it delivers incredible visuals.
I will say all the characters had great moments and real stories too. The most interesting being Varang and Quarich, but all were good.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I really wanna hand it Blizzard Entertainment. By creating Overwatch, they've managed to create one of the biggest single money-sinks in the game industry's history. Not Overwatch itself, but in the countless clones others have tried making to cash-in on it.
And studios still keep chasing it lmao

Even with a modest budget of only 100 million, it looks like Predator Badlands is going to lose money. It's really sad. :\
While its still franchise storytelling, Badlands did try to give people something different, and a Predator protagonist even. But it is what it is.

I prefer not to take comissions in part because I realized if I tried to monetize my hobby I would inevitability end up industrializing it. One day I'd wake up and send something out I didn't have faith in because that's how I got paid. This is the end step of that thought: total creative collapse.
people are ‘painting’ minis with ai now… it’s depressing & they answer comments like it’s some kinda ‘skill’. they used to actually paint but now just churn this out for likes?
many people won’t realise & will just assume that the person painted it, cos why wouldn’t you?
be careful out there 💕

What's really infuriating is that the only reason AI isn't dead on arrival is because the same corporations that are allowing it to thrive are the ones who were ruining the lives of teenagers over "piracy"
I genuinely thought the LLM / AI thing would blow over as soon as anyone pointed out it was based on piracy and had no viable business plan. That we’re still talking about it, betting on it, is gobsmacking. It should be the Tamagotchi craze of our decade. It should be Pogs by now.

@koalalaurelin.bsky.social has done another amazing job for a fan-character I've put together for a fan story. This guy's names changed like a half-dozen times.
Still, he's going to be a very fun character- and an exceptional scumbag.
