I know I've been slow at hitting up comments for other art I appreciate, and haven't been able to work on anything new much myself.

But thanks for following me. I lurk and appreciate Bluesky folks so much 🖤

I miss having the time to do a bigger art project, especially for my own characters.

I manage to do some sketch ideas on some days at the work desk at least. Progress will be a slow journey when I have time/energy.

If anything, its a small reminder to myself that I can sketch faces and such.
Messy sketch ideas for my female void elf OC named Safrona . Side profile and front facing. Mainly playing around with outfit design and shape of the character. Sketched bust portrait of my void elf OC based in World of Warcraft named Safrona.

Fashioned from rare Azerothian gemstones and transformed through a masterful use of Blood Magic, this fusion of inorganic, organic and magical matter serves as a powerful reservoir and source of energy.

I have finished this piece as a present for the wonderful @astralfox0893 !

Thank u for hosting! ✨
A character from Final Fantasy XIV, named Navarre Furogi, stands confidently in a dark, cathedral-like boss arena. They wear dark, intricately detailed armor with revealing elements and hold a massive double-headed axe. They have tall, dark bunny ears and a small green frog perched on their shoulder. A small baby mamool ja in colorful clothing sits by their feet. In the background, the glowing, swirling form of the boss Ozma floats, emanating soft blue and purple light Stylized illustration depicting a dark-haired girl wearing a witch's hat sitting against a full moon. She is looking at the viewer, leaning on her arm, her long hair fluttering in the wind. She wears a large pointed hat adorned with crescent moons, a fur-trimmed cloak, and a black and white outfit with a ruffled bowtie. The background is a deep night sky with stars, enhancing the magical atmosphere An illustration of a girl sorcerer character walking through a dark, eerie birch forest at night. She has pale skin with visible stitched seams on her neck and face. She has long, grayish-lavender hair braided with small white flowers and is looking back over her shoulder with a wary expression She wears a cozy yellow sweater and striped trousers with a small leather bag at her waist. In her hand, she holds a wooden mug overflowing with frothy ale. The background is filled with dark silhouettes of trees, where several pairs of glowing eyes peer out from the shadows. The lighting is soft and ethereal, focusing on the character against the surrounding gloom

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
