I have a clean body and I just nestled into a bed of clean sheets. 🛏😶‍🌫️

A large pile of tanuki to stay warm is colloquially known as a Tanuki Dango! 🍡

This has never been known to happen in the wild, only in zoos. It is because there isn't competition for resources, and all tanuki are forced to share territory. 🩵

This brings back for me all the things I've learned because of inspirations I took from games and movies, and encouraged me to be curious about other's inspirations.
A big fear is that GenAI takes away curiousness, further separating people from their history and, ultimately, making them less human.

Karla Ortiz @kortizart.bsky.social · 3d

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.

Holly Bear ʕ e ᴥeʔ 🎄🌧️

@bearhybrid.art

Some folks talk down their characters to me as "Just a grizzly" etc. Honestly I loved working with characters like that! Many animal artists long to be paid to draw wildlife with charm! 🐻🌲 So shout out to the people with simple, naturalistic designs. I dig ya ;) #Oldbearcomics #TheBearMinimum

A canine holds up their reference sheet looking regretful and saying: "man my character is just a black dog... It must be really boring to draw...". Holly bear is racing up from the side huffing and puffing yelling "Hold UP!"

holly bear grabs the black dog by the shoulders, leaning in close with intent she says: "Are you kidding me!?" That's my favorite type of character to draw!" the dog says "Huh??" looking overwhelmed by Holly's intensity

Holly bear grabs the black dog into the buzz lightyear meme reference pose. Saying "Think about it- Your design is realistic, something people can admire in their day to day lives. It has broad appeal to many"

Holly bear continues saying: "Often people try to make their character designs represent them exactly, or strive for maximum 'originality'. While those differences can be fun to draw, the design will appeal mostly to the commissioner & a handful of others." Holly bear holds up two refs, one belonging to the black dog, the other a hyper complicated sparkledog design. She finishes saying: "Your character's 'simplicity' transcends that and I love it!" the black dog looks reassured and pleased by the compliment.

You round the corner, ready to go up the steps. You see a tanuki there with a piercing gaze. It needs you for something important. Will you listen? ❓❗
