Digital illustration of a young cricket boy going down a pebble road on his way to school. His mom is waving him off from a blue door in a tree stump, and the scene is a forest floor. Digital illustration of animal characters who are mailmen, with a bigger shot of a panda blowing in his post horn and then smaller animals who look like they are walking out of it, featuring an orange cat, an anteater, a giraffe, a hedgehog, a badger, a turtle, a mouse, a rabbit, a rhino, a rooster, a duck and a guinea pig. Digital illustration of four kids having fun on their sleds on a snowy hill. One boy and a girl are coming down, the boy is scared and the girl has a big smile on her face. Their black and white dog in a yellow sweater is following them. Two other kids are staying behind and waiting for their turn. The boy in the back has a smug facial expression while the girl is looking at the boy with concern. Digital illustration of a group of kids with their teacher on a visit to a botanical garden. In the foreground there's a boy using a magnifying glass to take a better look at a flower and in the background there's three kids reading a book with pictures, a boy and a girl looking at a butterfly, one girl reading a sign in front of plants, and another looking up at her teacher with amazement at his story.

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy.

thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.
one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red. a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full. there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain). three sketches of my beagle, Bucky. he’s posing, asking for snacks, eyes wide and begging; he is lying curled into a ball, eyes sad like no one loves him (LIES); and he is lying on his side, stretched out, his ear thrown back. digital drawing made in heavypaint. it’s a simple bright and sunny mountain landscape, with white clouds and greenery and flowers. a girl is standing in the grass, turned to us. she has long golden blonde hair, is dressed in a white shirt and red shorts and is holding a hat with a white ribbon on it in her left hand and a yellow flower in her right. she’s smiling, happy and calm, her eyes closed. two birds are flying in the distance. this is a portrait of my friend. i haven’t visited her in a couple years.

The judge ruled: “An AI model such as Stable Diffusion which does not store or reproduce any copyright works (and has never done so) is not an ‘infringing copy’.”

I'm sorry, what?? This simply isn't true, SD reproduces copyright protected works all the time. What is going on???

Continuing on with photos from this last batch of pottery — pls enjoy these wee Worrybirds (warbler-mode)! I got a lovely matte clear glaze for this batch & they feel like the smoothest, most pleasant river stones now 🥰

oh, are they doing that fun bit where they conflate generative AI and machine learning in general, in service of generative AI companies and their bid to make it seem essential and inevitable when it isn’t?

the beast of tomorrows
Digital painting of a male sphinx. His lion half does not have any fur, is green in color, and on the surface of his skin are ornate etchings / embellishment. He has long, brown, wavy hair that bellows upward in the wind, and on his head is a white flower crown, adorned with shiny jewelry that hangs off his head. He has a sorrowful expression, with tears streaming down his piercing green eyes. His tail is long and he has pale white dove wings.
