I Won't Be Generated
@iwontbegenerated.bsky.social
Art project made in repudiation of AI generative "art". Updated weekly
Unsure what to do with this acct now that the project is over. Part of the reason I spun it off from main was cos I wanted something I could link family/normies to, but honestly I haven't told many about it, and I just send my mum photos every now and then. New stuff can just go on main now

#52 "Freedom"
(Accompanied by soundcloud.com/robynmeows/f... , read on for explanation)
With this project's end, I wanted to do something ambitious & showcase what I had learnt, after throwing myself into a year-long undertaking of something I had no natural talent or inclination for.

#51 "Demon II"
Acrylics, ink
Back when I made #17, "Demon", I made a second identical version at the same time. I then sat this copy in the windowsill, or even outside when dry in the summer, to try and deliberately sunbleach it.

#50 "In the Mountain"
Originally this was supposed to be #31, depicting a scene in my pirate d&d campaign where the player-characters come to a cave near the summit of a mountain, inside which is a void that acts as a direct communication point to the villain, Davy Jones.

#49 "Lily"
Afraid there's nothing too deep about this week's one. I had some paint left over after doing a separate piece, and I decided to paint something colourful in the "wrong" colours. Kinda gives a negative vibe.

#48 "Wolf"
I've been dipping back into digital art recently, during which I've been trying to drag myself away from my old MLP-derived style to something closer to my paintings, with mixed success. This week I tried learning how to paint realistic-looking fur, leading to this study of a timber wolf

#47 "Adrift"
I have a naive outlook on life where everything eventually works out in the end. But I know, in reality, things don't always work out that way. You can fail, you can be mistreated, some major event can send you reeling, all of which can send you to a place that you don't recover from.

#46 "A Better Life"
There's a recent art installation on Cheese Street in Bristol, in one of the financial areas: a phone box, a postbox, and some lamps twisted and contorted like they were made of rubber. I visited it last Saturday morning when I had some free time, and found it desolate.

#45 "New Life"
I got a lot of new paints and art tools for Christmas (new hobbies make for easy gifts, plus with multiple artists in the family, they knew what they were doing). One of said gifts was a watercolours travel set and uhh, I might prefer this to acrylics. Maybe I picked the wrong medium.

#44 "Oak"
Something about painting trees is very satisfying, dragging a brush upward and letting the paint form itself. I got a bunch of new stuff at Christmas (paints, brushes, easel etc) so I used those to do a study of an oak tree where my parents walk

#43 "In Memorium"
In the last D&D session, my longest-running character, Siross the lv8 minotaur forget cleric, died when the party were ambushed by giant mimics. He had been lacking a bit of purpose for a while, but as excited I was to bring in his replacement, it's still sad letting him go

#42 "Galaxy"
Inspired by, and using, my favourite nail polish combinations, which comprise a blue or purple base colour with a glitter layer on top, affectionately referred to as "galaxy nails". Enormously busy this week so the patterns were freewheeled

Fucked up the numbering, my bad. "Anxiety" is 38, "Friends" is 39, "Wake" is 40, "Desaturation" is 41

#40 "Desaturation"
Acrylics
I had greater ambitions for this one, but after so much travel disruption from Storm Darragh I had limited time. Despite starting to learn colour theory a few months back, a lot of my pieces have kept the same vibrant pigments, so I wanted to do something much gloomier

#39 "Wake"
Struggled the last few weeks as I've fallen off the painting wagon. I've felt less inspired & motivated, and more pressured by the work I'll need to do in order to get as good as I'd like. This week I needed to revert to the simpler pleasures: smearing lots of paint, and bisexual colours

#38 "Friends"
I was at a convention for the weekend. Met a bunch of friends, new and old, and had a great time. I love the people around me. This week's piece is by them and for them, all gifting their own little contributions to my project.

#37 "Anxiety"
Computer troubles this week. After an update, it would freeze on the loading screen. I'm not great with computers, I didn't panic initially. But as I tried each solution, I'd see this same frozen screen & the hurt grew, knowing I may have to risk losing everything to fix this

#37 "Hanging On"
CW: blood
It's not sudden: for LGBTQ people, there was a noticeable downturn in public opinion around 2015-2016, and I imagine many other minorities would argue it's not been getting "better" for even longer. Now the worst person has been elected, and though that won't directly(1/2)

#36 "Folds"
Been thinking more about my geology degree lately. Finished it a decade ago, sadly never made much use of it after though. This was from a field trip to iirc Bude, where down at the coast there is limestone and shale interbedded, and folded spectacularly in these zigzags.

#35 "Autumn"
October has been a little erratic. Despite a couple of frosts it's been overall fairly warm, and it's taken a while for plants to catch on. My badly-overgrown hedge is still in the first stages, grading from green leaves to beautiful red-magenta, often on the same branch

#34 "Vai"
Following on from last week, I got to paint again with friends, a larger group this time with a varied mix of styles. During the session I painted this portrait of Vai, a Siamese cat OC I'd designed last week to try and speed up painting furries (compared to my cheetah sona)

#33 "Yasmin"
Made fairly last-minute plans for friends to come round and paint, like in August, but last second they fell ill & had to cancel. I spent some time painting solo instead, radiator toasting behind me, tunes to set the mood. The vibes of Match In My Pocket by Yasmin Lacey inspired this

#32 "Neon"
Taken a few stabs at techniques for neon lighting, and this is the best I've managed so far. Done on a whim after 2 hours sleep, bold lines on white with a dry brush over. I need to get gayer with my art (though next time I should probably use references too

#31 "Andromeda Sunset"
Originally I did another piece for my D&D campaign, an illustration of a future scene. Unfortunately, after this week's session, I realised it would be spoilers, and unfair to share with everyone else while asking them not to look, so I quickly cooked up something new

NITW is one of my favourite games of the last few years. When I re-bought it for the collector's edition, it included a set of acrylic dioramas. After watching a video on colour mixing theory, I challenged myself to recreate a setup with Greg and Mae at the Clik Clak Diner
