I just said this to a friend, but I want all artists to know this:

"Your art will always be good. It's not slop! It's made with love and care. That speaks volumes! Doesn't matter if it's not "professional" quality. What matters is that you made it. That's what makes it really good."

Keep drawing!

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

It's my birthday! 🎉 So, I had to do a little Aries piece! 💗♈

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Any use of genAI always reads to me like:

“We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

Digital illustration of the artist’s Sidestep, Arson Bui, from interactive fiction title Fallen Hero. Arson is on their knees and shirtless, revealing numerous scars and bright orange tattoos. The most notable scars are top surgery scars and autopsy scars. The tattoos are covering their torso and arms, and are inspired by a circuit board. On their legs they are wearing the lower half of their villain suit, black armour. Their ears are pierced, they have red wavy hair cut above their shoulders. A black skull mask with three yellow eyes and sharp teeth is covering the top half of Arson’s face. They are smirking at the viewer. End of description.

I’ve missed this brat

(I know the autopsy scars mentioned in retri might just be faked, but I think they suit them)
