Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm afflicted with the multidisciplinary artist syndrome, meaning I can't quite focus on one or two types of media, which apparently is not the best career move. I love music, illustration, painting, directing, and photography.
For more of my work, please follow the link to martu.me
Photograph of a young, white woman dressed in a cream colored dress, white tulle veil, and a silver leaf crown. Surrounded by floating round white candles, she herself is looking down at a round candle in her hand, the color of a honey crisp apple. Digital painting of a beaten up Miles Morales from the Spider-Man Miles Morales video game. He is wearing his suit but the mask is off, revealing bruises and cuts on his tired face, looking to the side. The whole frame is generally dark, the only pop of color is the red in his suit. colorful collage, with a painted light blue background. it features bright colored bubble lettering with bold red outlines, filled with various colors and ornamentation, all of it surrounded by cut out white flowers with red centers. the writing spells out "WHAT IF THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS". the first four words are filled with solid colors like yellow, blue, green, and yellow, while the remaining four words each have a unique colorful design on a white background. the collage is photographed in contrasty morning light with a shadow of a plant through the middle photomontage (drawing over a photo). a tall, alien creature with lanky legs and a very short torso doubling as a head, stands in the middle of a curved, wet road in a dark, foggy forest. she is backlit by a golden light, her body matches the colors of the forest. her eyes emit a warm, orange glow.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Stay safe out there y'all
An illustration showing cute fat rabbits piling into an underground burrow. There is text, part of which has been edited. The original text says "There are tunnels underground where bunnies are safe — safe" and the edited text adds "from emails"

'Here We Come a-Wassailing' linocut print combining the Christmastide Wassail and the Orchard Wassail. The latter folkloric practice is done to awaken the cider apple trees and to scare away evil spirits to ensure a good harvest of fruit in autumn.

I regret not including Ian McShane.

The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

Stop accepting the cynical notion that “nothing can be done” about guns, or anything else for that matter. Every time you give up hope, the emperor has already won.

anytime I sculpt a new face, I become attached to the personality that emerges from the wool. these were going to be for sale but now I can't imagine parting with them. and they're not even done yet.
I wonder if this is a common occurrence among sculptors and other artists selling original work.

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Pink yak!
#art ✧ #yak ✧ #painting
30cmx30cm painting made with acrylic markers. There is a pinkish yak standing in the middle of the canvas on black background. The yak is very stylized with the shapes and It has a very colorful cloth on its back, blue earrings and big horns. The cloth is heavily inspired by floral folk art pieces. There are some white tear shapes on the coat and some darker red lines indicating where the fur is going. Pale legs with brown cloven hooves. The black background has two bigger blue flowers and smaller orange ones as also white dots.

Given what neo-Nazis did with Sora and MLK prompts, you are about to see some of the most vile racist sewage featuring Black Panther to ever be produced.

Disney and OpenAI sign a deal to bring 200+ Disney characters to Sora

Disney makes $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will become a "major" OpenAI customer

openai.com/index/disney...
As part of this three-year licensing agreement, Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos that can be viewed and shared by fans, drawing on more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters. Agreement will make a selection of these fan-inspired Sora short form videos available to stream on Disney+. Disney and OpenAI affirm a shared commitment to responsible use of AI that protects the safety of users and the rights of creators. Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major customer of OpenAI, using its APIs to build new products, tools, and experiences, including for Disney+, and deploying ChatGPT for its employees. As part of the agreement, Disney will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI, and receive warrants to purchase additional equity.
