Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music.
Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.
Happy Monday.
Today we're making a few updates/announcements.
First up: our nonprofit ETCH is alive on the web.
etch-humanity.org
ETCH: Ethical Technology and Computing for Humanity.
ETCH is not another AI nonprofit. It is a nonprofit that explicitly prioritizes people over AI.
'Voidscarred', another one for Games Workshop/Black Library! I used to collect Eldar, so naturally this one was super cool to paint for them.
I experimented with an extra thin resonant head for my bass drum and tuned it to the lowest it could go without going flobby and matched the kick side. Probably the loudest oomph-y kick I ever managed to get. It was so overwhelmingly loud that it wasn't really useful haha.
And it's magnificent!
That's a cool tree trunk! Well done :)
Detail of a BB fanart painting. Partly beast turned hunter.

Wiiiiide boi painting depicting a bloodborne hunter slicing an edlritch horror's neck in twine. They are surrounded by headless people hanging down from their feet in a lake of blood. The moon glows red, screaming.
Bloodborne animated feature film? Hell yeah.
I need to make more BB fanart <3
Book cover of a lady in white sheer dress leaning sorrowfully against a grave embellished by Skulls and flower patterns. A crying angel statue missing an arm is protecting the grave with her spear. The scenery is set in a twilight with the sun setting in the far left and moon lighting up the scene from the right.
In the image a hooded blindfolded woman with bloodied apron is standing in a crypt and is raising their hands in joy. The other hand holds a magical dagger. Below her is a male corpse with an open chest wound and ghostly souls escaping through his mouth and eyes. The souls and blood from the wound are being ingested by the dagger.
A digital painting of a Fenix rising from the ashes of its former self standing in front of a mountainous snowy landscape.
Digital painting of a lady Mage with clothing inspired by the Romani people, casting a magical shield. She's standing on top of a cliff of a Fjord-ish landscape. Lore: "The Bohiym nomads are not usually regarded as magic users and thus thought to be easy prey for their wealth. To the outside the Bohiym look like travelling dancers and musicians. Their simple nomadic life helps them keep a lot of their earnings and usually repurpose them into jewellery that they wear on their body."
Apparently it's #portfolioday!
I paint fantasy with a darker tone, perhaps someone would say a dark fantasy artist but I wouldn't go that niche :)
Been trying to find work for the past 6 months but no proper bites yet 😔
Anyways, here's some latest works of mine!

Help us spread the word about FAIRY DUST with a REPOST.
This beautiful dark fantasy film, about growing up as an outcast and discovering your own truths, needs your support to help bring the project over the finish line. Our Kickstarter (link in bio!) is still open for late pledges...
Ooh this is insanely good!
Opened up an old sketch from last year and decided to start polishing it up for the portfolio :)
Here's the first few hours of WIP on the sketch.
Wonderful work! Awesome to already have fanart for a project that is still so heavily in the development, haha.

Zoomies!
Here's a fanart I painted. It's based on a short story written by my friend, @leoval.bsky.social. "What is this about?" You may ask. Well, I'll post the link in the comment for more information. 😄
