A teethed toad wearing a chef hat and an apron, holding a very sad fly in a hand and a cleaver in the other

Another IG request. "Frog Chef"... Yeah I know, it's a toad actually

This little war criminal is from the request "Gnome with an arquebus obviously too big for him"

Recently I opened some art request on my instagram cause I was feeling way too rusty. I couldn't draw for a few months due to tendinitis and other problems all together... I did some sketch before this one, but after this Genie Badger I'm starting to feel a little less rusty

Thanks! 😊

Hi, I'm Francesco Pinna. I'm an artist illustrator and character designer from Italy with a particular love for fantasy.

I worked as freelancer for ttrpg's, books and CD covers, and I'm currently looking for work. I'm also open for commission too.

thepinna.carrd.co

The illustration represents a winged aasimar woman. With her outstretched wings she looks towards the viewer while an otherworldly light illuminates the scene from behind her shoulders, encircling her with golden divine light. Her blond hair floats in the sky topped by a spiked halo. She wears black lipstick and dark makeup on her glowing eyes. She wears a burnished armor with sharp shapes, and on her chest stands out an amulet with the holy symbol of her deity Kelemvor. Blue robes can be seen fluttering under the armor. Her longsword held tightly in her hands is beautifully decorated: she does not wield it aggressively, but she's still ready for battle.

Another #Vgen commission and I looooved painting this Kelemvor paladin ⚖️✨

They're really like "delete your account to opt out" lol

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Player Characters Portraits: A nomadian ranger, a human mage, a half-orc mage warrior, and a nomadian minstrel

a bunch of monsters. in order: a skeleton adult water dragon, a wolf, a living-dead diseased bear, a beast of the depths, and an abyssal newt

another buch of monster and npc: a couple of living-dead goblins (regular and elite), Gronte Loba (the quest giver), a elf prince ranger skeleton, a dwarf prince warrior skeleton, Dukkat (BBEG human cleric of the god of death), and the living-dead remains of Leto Pontifer (human cleric of god of light)

I thought I posted these portrait already on bluesky too but I was dead wrong. So... here's a bunch of portraits I did for my players and to to use them as tokens in a very quick adventure ("caves of evil", the introductive adventure for "the last torch" system)

I felt called out ahahah. I even started pyling them into pyramids to save space but I have a feeling the shelves wont hold much more weight

OC Private commission, finally painting some #bloodborne again

twitter screenshot of idiot asking grok if art can be made by non people to which it firmly shuts his ass down saying AI images are merely a simulation of art.

lmao even the machine doesnt consider AI images to be art

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Also why these folks ABSOLUTELY hate it when you explain GenAI in terms the average person can understand it.

Because for one thing, many are convinced that it's so high tech it can't be easily explained, and for another? Well. This. Can't have people understanding it!

sound of perseverance reference

to be clear, the goal here isn't to outlaw pornography- the goal is to create a ton of felons they can imprison and turn into labour that the rest of puritanical society won't give a shit about, and deem things related to minorities/leftists/intellectuals as "bad" so they can ostracize them

Sorry for the absence, I'm working under NDA so I can't show pretty much anything I've done in the past months yet.
However, every now and then I take a break and make some studies and exercises (15 min each).

A page of inks of a tall black haired woman in eastern european inspired fantasy clothes with a raven

A page of various sketches of her sword, spellbook, tattoos, and her attacking and using magic

I went and drew a proper character sheet for year 2 Dima, my pathfinder magus. I love her. She recently learned that she is apparently the chosen agent of the Baba Yaga to bring forth a winter that will consume the world. This is distressing haha

The struggle is real.

Thank you

Sick rendering!

Congratulation for the 5k! And thaks for the hosting too! Love your art btw

I also do portraits and maps for some of the campaign I master. Here are the portraits of every npc the party interacted to (and every enemy they didn't even fought cause the campaign ended prematurely for the usual reasons). The last slide are the pcs
#character #portrait #fantasy #pathfinder

An androgynous-looking tiefling with purple skin and a confident look on their face. Their horns twist and turn towards the back of their head and they wear their hair in a ribbon.

A spur of the moment thing, tried to see how far I can go using only mixer brushes 😈
