It sometimes gets me that everything man made, every building, every road and street, every train track and tram cable, every sign and every stoplight, it was all decided on and made deliberately, by someone, at some point.

Our whole world is built from the decisions of people.

Anyway fuck AI

ag shit we're #MeetTheWebcomic hours

Neo Automisia is a cyberpunk existential thriller bathed in acid. it's about a mercenary clinging to anything she can for a modicum of purpose, and clarity for what is and isn't real in a rotting world.

updates tues/thurs when active/2025 neo-a.the-comic.org
Chapter four's cover- Monique, disassembled before an analog television set piece by piece in segmented rotation A page from chapter four- Monique leverages her technomantic abilities to funnel her painfully mundane teen frustrations into an ad-blaring vending machine, which promptly explodes A page from chapter one- in the heat of combat and hyped up on military grade stimulants, Monique gleefully closes in on a kill she was told not to take A page from chapter three- a pecking order is clearly outlined in one statement. "I'll fry your brain."

Deus Ex: Human Revolution ceiling appreciation post.
Shiny metallic balls hanging from the ceiling of David Sarif's office. A futuristic chandelier hanging from the ceiling of an apartment block lobby. A ceiling patterned with abstract 3D shapes, some of which are lit. Glowing tube lights hanging from a ceiling at a variety of angles.

It's been a miserable few days, and I've been thinking about cowboys.

[ #illustration | #art | #oc | #rdr ] 🐦
A drawing of a temperate rainforest, rendered in muted colours and harsh inks. The foreground is filled with dense foliage, trees, bushes, moss. It is raining, and a small stream cascades downhill towards us. At the top of the hill, in a small clearing, a cowboy sits on his horse. Rain drips off his hat and mist curls around him, framing him almost as a silhouette against the forest. This is where I can hide that this is secretly fanart of my Red Dead Online character. I guess not *that* secret, I guess, on account of the tags, but still.

SLEEPING LEVIATHAN
A late start to #shadowvember is better than no start, right?
Trying to wring a full HK/Dragonfall-esque cRPG pitch out of the limited lore Vancouver gets. Hopefully this is the start of something neat, cause I have ideas.
[ #shadowrun | #cyberpunk | #illustration | #art ] 🐦
A landscape drawing of the city of Vancouver as imagined in the cyberpunk Shadowrun setting. We are on Brockton Point, looking across to the Downtown Waterfront. The totem poles in the foreground here have been allowed to decay, and holographic replicas rise out of their remains. The city is distant, shrouded in fog and low cloud - while certain iconic buildings such as the Convention Center and the Harbour Center are still here, they are surrounded by typical giant skycrapers and some holographic signs and advertisements. A lone figure stands with their back to us, looking out over the city.

one of today's pose studies turned into an excellent reminder to myself that i do, in fact, have ocs, and that Shun is one of them.
🐦
A searingly bright drawing of Shun, an androgynous japanese person dressed like they raided a Hot Topic on their way to a King of Iron Fist Tournament. Their short hair is blasted back into a small ponytail, ad they are leaned forward, throwing up the horns and sticking their (split) tongue out in a delinquent's grimace. The image is done up in bright neon yellows, pinks, and cyans.

TABLETOP COMMISSION - Mr. Straits, for @pengogo.bsky.social

[ #CAINrpg #CAINttrpg | #TTRPG | #Commission | #Art ] 🐦
A black-and-white illustration of Mr. Straits, a CAIN Exorcist. He is a large man in a thick dark coat and a belled jester's cap that obscures half his face. He is grinning menacingly as he strides towards us, one hand held out to the side, clutching a hammer that drips with kaleidoscopic mystery liquid.

TABLETOP COMMISSION - The one and only Arizona for @4r7ymachine.bsky.social

[ #Lancer #LancerRPG | #TTRPG | #Commission | #Art ] 🐦
A colour illustration of Arizona Tiger-Eye - Callsign "White Tiger". She is a huge orc woman in heavy military plating, decorated with dozens of shotgun bandoliers. Her foot is up on a pile of supplies as she grins, holding a cigar in one hand and her blast axe in the other. Smoke blows from between her tusks.

Okay if I can be selfish for a moment:

I'm delisted from itch. In the UK you literally can not see my profile.

A big chunk of my income, my living money, comes from bundles like this. It would mean a lot if you could share it, send it to friends. 🧵

Here’s a tip for graphic designers: if you include the “weakest” option in your pitch the client will choose it 9 times out of 10. If you include something you hate they will choose that option. They can’t help themselves. They don’t do it consciously but they’ll do it

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

all ill say on the larian debacle is that describing it as "work nobody wants to do" sure is strange when "doing research, compiling reference materials, and coming up with preliminary sketches to hand off to the concept painters" would in all likelihood be my literal dream job
