One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

"Journey on the Longest Road"

I painted this over two months during a mentorship with the illustrious @abigbat.bsky.social! Never have I learned and fought more during a single piece of art. Also couldn't be prouder of it.

A big big thank you to you, Paul!

Digital fantasy illustration that shows a young rider mounted on an unusual creature. The creature resembles some sort of jungle cat but has a long body with six limbs instead of four. It's neck is long and bent and it's face while feline has a snout similar to a tapir's. The rider is dressed in red clothing, with a blue hat and goggles and is looking out over the landscape. The creature is perched climbing over rocks and trees above a waterfall. Behind them is a river, lush forests and ruins. Two massive towers loom in the distance against blue skies.

I took @abigbat.bsky.social ‘s illustration workshop over the past couple months to try to level up my painting game. It was a great experience, well worth checking out. Here’s my final, a cattle wrangler on her diamondback mount

A herd of terrified cows runs through dust in the foreground while above their heads against a blue sky you see the underside of a huge diamondback rattlesnake dragon spreading its wings over the herd with a cowgirl on a saddle on its back spinning a rope above her head

Panel 1: A scruffy-haired man rests brings his fists down on a table in frustration, saying "AUUGHH!! THIS 12 YEAR OLD IS BETTER AT DRAWING THAN ME!!" In his left fist he is clutching a drawing tablet pen, and on his table is a drawing tablet in front of a monitor. Panel 2: Close-up of a man looking slightly shocked as a pale hand rests on his head. Panel 3: The owner of the hand is revealed to be Shen, cloaked in darkness, with red lighting from below. His pupils, likewise, are red. He croaks out "Good. Feel that anger." Panel 4: Shen's expression turns both darker abd more manic as he shifts his gaze to look the man directly in the eyes. He says "AND LET IT PROPEL YOU TOWARDS GREATNESS".

Hey #Portfolioday

I'm tired. Otherwise very much open for business. I've been on and off as a professional illustrator for 20 years. Mostly for small companies, individuals and private clients. Would love to do more!

A group of people make a plea to the heavens. But what will be the response? And who were they hoping to hear from? A strange looking dragon points to some intriguing items in a snowy, sunlit glade as a lost traveller stumbles near. A castle appears from behind parting clouds as a traveller and his companion look on from the river bank. A group of travellers stand before a frozen river. It is crossed by a myriad of snow covered bridges which they must cross to reach their destination. Ancient buildings and scarlet red awnings dot the landscape, housing supplies and equipment they will use when the thaw comes. A hazy sun drifts low across the sky trying to bring a bit of warmth to this desperately cold looking mountain valley

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green turns towards Blue, who looks at him with embarrassment, with a piece of paper on the ground in front of him. Blue has a large bandage on his lower back. Blue: Hey Green, could you pick that up for me? Green: Sure. Green bends down to pick up the paper, as Blue looks at him sadly. Blue: I'm sorry you have to take care of me like this. Green: Oh hush. Green stands back up, looking at Blue in the eyes, holding the piece of paper in his teeth. Green: I don't mind caring for you because I know you won't mind taking care of me when I'm sick. Blue: Were you planning to get sick soon? Green kisses Blue, dropping the paper back on the floor. Green: Nobody plans to get sick. You plan for when you get sick.

I had CR paused because my dad has a habit of making fun of anything I'm interested in, but he started asking stuff about it and against my better judgement I played a bit of it, and he immediately started tearing into it 🥲 dunno why I bothered

Caleb and Essek dyad 💜

Sometimes people sponsor fan art - like this Essek! - and it makes my little doodly heart happy ☺️

#CriticalRole #fanart
Painterly Caleb Widogast on a desaturated brown background. He's in 3/4 view, piercing blue eyes looking to his left. His auburn hair is in a messy bun at his nape. He has a pensive expression. His chin is stubbly Painterly Essek Thelyss on a muted blue-grey background. We are looking at him from above and behind. Though we cannot see his eyes they're looking left, towards Caleb, below white lashes. He has a silver ornamental ear cuff and chain.

Scientists stop making your research papers Fucking Unreadable challenge.

We know you're smart. You don't have to use as many syllables as you can think of to tell us that.

If it's a whole-ass brain workout to figure out what your paper says, you have not written a good paper.

wait, @britishecolsoc.bsky.social I thought you'd "agreed steps to make sure this doesn't happen again" 🫠
A post from the British Ecology Society in reference to a previous of their journals using genAI art that reads "Sorry that this cover wasn't quite up to our normal high standard for our journals. We're happy to confirm that we've agreed steps to make sure that this doesn't happen again".

#trigun #trigunmaximum #illustration
a drawing mainly composed of red, orange and white hues depicting vash the stampede. He is posed as if floating in the center of the composition, with his pistol raised and his metal arm grasping the leather straps of the punisher cross. Sprouting from under his coat and buckles are many feathers and wings, which twist and turn in the air around his figure.
