Birds and feathers aren't my strong suit, but I think I've made a decent attempt with these two! I especially love the penguin ❤️

As a design student I was once tasked with playing a trial run of Maple Story and reporting on the system. Wary, I mailed telling the teacher I wasn't going to risk installing Maple Story on my own computer.
Teacher just replied I passed the assignment.

The Anemone Class "Clownfish" Nebula Explorer is a popular model of short range space exploration and survey craft.
3.2 MCr for the base model (pictured here), 5.3 MCr for the fully loaded model.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole yesterday on ships-as-characters for a project. Trying to find a way to make attractive, but also useful art assets for a game.

Velociraptors (Mongolian version, not the more Deinonychid JP) occupy the same ecological niche as do modern day wolves.
Wolves are among the most popular 'sonas.
And the most popular dino 'sonas seem to be raptors.
Never thought about before. It's kind of cool how sometimes differences unite us.

You've been exercising with Síla as your personal trainer and she seems to have taken a liking to you. After the day's session she decides to invite you in for a personal shower. Time to get clean together!

Art can contribute so much to a game vibe and a setting. I feel like every components are important like that and create together an ecosystem that needs nurturing. From graphic designers, writers, editors, illustrators, reviewers to little brick n mortar zines shops. Publishing is like gardening.

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space
That is the least I can ask from MFF

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room
For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.
in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

I don't think it's unreasonable at this point to blacklist anybody using genAI for anything whatsoever from all creative environments, all conventions, all associate social spaces, for life.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Picked up the Swedish Äventyrsspel paperback from an antiquarium in 2014.
Having played Everquest for years with the Innoruuk's Curse epic as my most prized possession, everything just clicked.
Whelan's Stormbringer just might be the ur-type of this style of fantasy sword. It's just so *right*.
