A cybernetic cyberpunk fresh from the iPad. Thinking of turning him into a sticker because he’s such a looker.

Any Revy fans? She’s one of my favourite high octane, short fuse characters. ‘Black Lagoon’ is definitely in my top 10 manga. #manga #blacklagoon #ink #sketchbook #mangaka #anime #drawing #sketch

Designing up a little anime inspired sticker just for fun. Expressing my frustration at being a cog in the capitalist machine. #sticker #anime #art #design #sketch

Wanted to do something analogue (non-digital) so opted to draw and ink one of my favourite manga heroines - Rally from ‘Gunsmith Cats’. #manga #gunsmith_cats #gunsmithcats #sketch #ink #myart #anime

@henry-thurlow.bsky.social, comments on this issue are absolutely on point. There is no place for Ai in art, animation or any creative field. Ban it, burn it, destroy it. If you don't dedicate yourself to your craft, you don't deserve the rewards. #AI #Animation #StudioGhibli #OpenAI #Ghibli
Animators From One Piece and More Respond to OpenAI's Studio Ghibli AI Artwork
Studio Ghibli still hasn’t commented on making AI art in Miyazaki’s style, but a number of people in the anime and animation worlds have.

I am firmly anti Ai, I believe this is the most outrageous and blatant demonstration of disregard for copyright and intellectual property. It's shows a very clear disregard by big tech for the rights of artists and creative worldwide. #AI #OtakuUSA #Anime #StudioGhibli #HayaoMiyazaki #AntiAI
Hayao Miyazaki Once Called AI an "Insult to Life." OpenAI Technicality Has People Copying His Style in Viral Trend
OpenAI’s GPT-4o generative AI model is making Studio Ghibli-style AI images that took off in recent days. What would Miyazaki think?

Such an AWESOME movie. Blissfully lost in a cloud of 80s nostalgia on a Sunday afternoon. #TheGoonies #80s #nostalgia #ClassicMovies

I’d like to do a PhD in manga, so I’m curious to know what make manga important to people. Why do they create manga? Why do they read manga? Why do they prefer manga to other comic formats? #manga #mangak #research #comics #cartoons #visualculture #PhD #japan #create #read #enjoy
