ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Y’all know those big thick books that have like diagrams of ships and stuff. Specifically referring to the ones like for Star Wars where they do a mechanical breakdown of the ship and you can see like cross sections. Anyone know if they make books like that for Kaiju?

If you're in the US and following me, there is a 100% chance you are a person who cares about comics or movies or video games or books or whatever--as a creator, as a reader, as a fan. These bills are seeking to limit free speech and expression. To censor both the country and the world.

this should be as much of a story as A Past Notable Instance of Art Theft, imo
if anything this is so much worse given there was deliberate contact with the artist

Netease just went straight to my folio to copy/paste elements of my personal work to create their official concept art for their Wakanda map.
I tried to get answers for a while but no replies from them so here we are.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

I love voice acting so much. Because the same guy that voices the absolute gremlin that is Inosuke also voices one of my fav digimon (Coronamon) in the new game. Love Bryce Papenbrook #digimon
