If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

$[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]$

These the concept pieces I did when trying to understand Mother (The Creator), my oldest god and the one in charge of creating new life, keeping the cycle of rebirth going, and maintaining the world via "system maintenence."
#mywriting #myOC #eldritchhorror #horror #horrorfantasy

The style of work is sketchy.
There is a small (in comparison) person with glasses and outstretched arms standing beside a very small, uncolored banana and a giant eldritch style creature.
The creature stands on six knobbly legs that widen as they approach the feet but otherwise remain thin. Beside the person and the banana hands a hand that is larger than the person. It is human shaped, with four fingers and a thumb.
A mask with closed eyes and a crack rests on the lowest point of Mother's chest. A black substance drips from its smiling mouth.
Mother itself doesn't have a face, and the rest of it is just black scribbles.
Near where its head would be, there is stringy black hair that hangs down in clumps. Another hand appears from the dark and is pointing to the left.
On Mother's back, there are three visible wings with eyes on them. These eyes have eyelashes and sparkles that come from the middle of the iris/pupil.
Mother's main body is steaming heavily and the steam goes off the canvas.

A sketchbook style back in which Mother's wings are visible.
There is text across the page which points out the following:
Pointing to one of Mother's wings - "Hand-made, decorative"
At the bottom left portion of the page: "Called 'moths' cozza resemblance to Mother" There is another sentence pointing towards the previous text which reads: "Moths highly regarded as a connection to Mother."
The right side of the screen is mostly text which reads, "Mother is something akin to a centipede. It uses roughly 6+ of it's arms as legs and the rest are brought out as needed." "Mother wears a human face low to the grond so as to be able to comfort those it interacts w/. It uses a combination of sounds (rubbing its many hands together, humming, etc.) to communate."
To the left of this text, there is a simple drawing of Fig and the tagline, "Crude dolls."
Beneath both the doll and the text is a simple mask with wide eyes and a straight face with a speech bubble that reads, "Very uncanny valley mask."

I've not been keeping up with bluesky, admittedly, but I have been drawing, swear!!
These are some of the items I've been drawing lately for my universe!
#writinguniverse #enchanteditems #horrorfantasy #fantasy

On a light pink background in the upper left corner of the image is text that reads 'Mother's Lost Tooth.'
There are two drawings underneath the text. The first is a cracked, sharp tooth with spikes. The second is a dagger made of the same cracked tooth. It has light pink wrappings around the handle and the hand guard/base of the dagger are pointed with three sharp points on each one.

In the top left portion of a light purple background there is text that reads "The Remains of Maeje Erentis*."
Below and diagonal to the text, there is an urn decorated with boxy eyes with semi circles for pupils. The urn has an old, peeling sticker that reads "Maeje Erentis" in cursive. The urn is colored with a dark blue and a light grey-blue.
Along the scalloped edge around the eyes, there are three small chains with amber gems hanging from them.
There is purple smoke coming from the top of the urn though there is a dark blue-grey sticker holding it shut.
In the bottom left corner, in a similar color to the background, there is text that says "* Probably."

There is text across the top of the image that reads "Binding Potion [by Amje]." Amje is in all caps and has been colored pink.
There are two bottles, both colored in shades of pink, that overlap near the base of each.
The bottle on the left has a rounded base and a narrow neck that flares outward suddenly. Near the base of the neck, there is a black string looped around it that has a little, droopy bow. There is bright pink smoke coming from inside that colors part of the word "Binding" a different, darker shade of pink. The smoke contains little sparkles within it.
The insides of the bottle are fizzy, indicated by small circles drawn within. The liquid itself has a base red-grey color overlayed with a brighter, more saturated pink. It also has sparkles within it.
The bottle on the right is longer with a short neck and typical rim. It is bright pink in color and has shines on it. Its contents flow out of it and drip down the side. The liquid is a dark grey in color with lighter grey splotches.
This bottle is also smoking, though its smoke is more opaque and is white in color.

I'm in the process of designing/redesigning some of the characters from tC (the Consumption, which is the big thing I'm working on, don't remember if I've spoken about it) and so:
One (1) Tawm Peerphin, a historical possibilities prof at MESot(M)A!

If you are looking for some personalised piece of illustration (new pfp, some character design, maybe just a piece of fanart in my style), you should take a look at my commissions list.

This is a great way to support me and it gets you some cool art!

i have completed a drawing of the gang together and here it is:

4 individuals in various poses and different outfits. The first is in a hoodie and jeans with exposed wiring on their leg. The second is wearing armor made of bark and moss. She has long, flowy, dark green pants on. The third is clad in a t-shirt, a button-up overshirt, and a hoodie and jeans. All of his clothes are brightly colored. The last of the four is wearing a dark red shirt and skirt with lighter red shoes. Her shirt has eyes on it and she is carrying a phone and a box.

I don't post much on my accounts outside of art, but please know that I believe trans rights are human rights, black lives matter, it's a woman’s body it's her choice, and that I stand with Ukraine and Palestine. I may lose followers for this, Idc, if you don't like it then please don't follow me.
