The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

I made these brushes free for whoever wants them, but if you download and share this a bunch it raises my chances of winning some clippy, so if you wanna pass them on and share them consider that like tipping me for my trouble haha
I kept meaning to make some bespoke set-dressing chains for Pipeburn so I don’t need to ink every individual link in every individual panel like I did last time, so I decided to actually enter one of those Clip Studio Asset Challenges for once assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail...

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

This is a big part of why I founded the animal photo reference repository: because AI slop has made finding good, real references harder while promising using them doesn’t matter… I hope to see more efforts exist to curate and restore accurate references for all sorts of subjects and places.
Using ai for reference is one way to legitimise it but also will make you worse in time. If you care about the art you make you should care about what influences it and where your ideas come from. The world is massive with tens of thousands of years of art and culture and history you can learn about
PSA if you care about your support going to art that is influenced by AI

I have thousands of photos. Trace them. Mash them together like Frankenstein. Collage. Experiment with mixed media. This is why I make and share stock photos for artists. You can learn from what's REAL and make it YOUR OWN instead of having something done for you that isn't your own vision.

Here's a little doodle of Aster in Howl's coat because they're both magical drama queens who love trinkets. I'm prepping for Day of the Dead so I didn't have a lot of time today 🥲

I went with Cassian and kept the sickly, necromancer hermit look. I wanted to also highlight his life after escaping Ethelred. He lives in the woods, foraging materials to make medicines to sell. He looks too nice, lol

There's a whole series done in the style of Picasso with African influences on subjects like Black women.

Okay, so one of my unpublished WIPs has a manticore in it, which was perfect for today! I love mythical creatures and monsters so I had fun doing this, but it's really rushed because I was out all day, lol.
