this means that organized labor is calling for a regional general strike yes, and there’s every reason to believe they can actually pull it off in Minneapolis inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

All the best illustrators you have ever known or heard of, whether they admit to it or not, likely make heavy use of reference. Use it. Even if your style is more abstract, the advice still applies.

I um like writing character dynamics, especially the way their long and storied pasts influence their current choices. People are cool and I like learning about all the parts of you.

Star Trek is about a post-communist utopia and humans overcoming prejudice to unite in the name of exploration and making friends with other cultures, but everything you do flies in the face of that, so
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

On a more positive note, many of the creators from Hiveworks came together to create the Chimera Comics Collective - a place where we could maintain the 'webring' aspect of Hiveworks and continue supporting each other.

It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors.

Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

For anyone who ever wanted to know why I left Hiveworks, please read this.

My friends and peers there were amazing - and their vast reserves of hard work and creativity were used and abused in so many ways. We came together to share our stories, and thank goodness we did.

Thank you for listening.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.
