Hello! Welcome!

I'm Etlu, an artist and illustrator. My work is largely fantasy inspired, with a focus on developing skills around use of colour and storytelling.

Tbh I’ve made it a habit to double check from a more trustworthy website that isn’t just a sponsored ad.
Especially when on a topic I have no previous knowledge of. Where it can be harder to spot the hallucinations.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the AI summary at the top of Google searches lies. It is consistently wrong. So if you’re checking something, never believe it. Look for an actual source.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get irrationally angry whenever you see some app or website suddenly introduce yet another "NEW AND FANCY AI tool" that no one asked for and/or wants?

Yeah this has become the utter pain of what we once had. Used to be you'd run to Google for a trusted and quick search and now I try to avoid it when I can

hunting through old font folders and I've been staring at file extensions for too long. ".otf" is starting to automatically process as "one true font" 😂😭

It's "OpenType Font" but given how Adobe cut support for T1/Post Script, it's accurate enough. I'll give my brain a point for that one.

If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced

though with AI's track record, it'll put the plates in the oven pan drawer and I'll spend an eternity trying to find where the flippin heck it put my One Favourite Mug.

cannot get over how profoundly stupid it is that firefox keeps offering to "translate" the page for me, when it's a *language dictionary*. Like no, where do you think I've gone????

new firefox update and once again everything is Round. Why? What's the 2025 obsession with making everything *round*???

How do people like this still exists? AI bros also like using this as an excuse on artists as well.
Like Youtube exists, and I’m sure a ton of other online resources that are free! Put in the legwork and learn the skills.
gosh, shut up

It's kind of funny in this New Game + run that it has rendered the boss battles so much of an after thought that my biggest gripe now is having to walk everywhere.

And that every time I do... all I can hear is Tom Cardy.
