i cannot overstate as an american how much i want our tech giants to face actual consequences for their bullshit, and i hope the entirety of the EU follows suit with this

A character enjoying some fresh breeze on their patio. There's a ghost jackal/dog sitting next to them. The main subject is covered in tattoos showing bandages and symbols. On the patio there are a few plants and inside the house visible in the back there's a kitchen.

Coloured digital drawing of a horned tiefling woman with green skin, clad in multiple layers of colourful robes that hides all but her face and her lower legs. A red mask with several holes in it covers her eyes.

The colour wheel is made to be abused

you can make it pretty far in life by just not being an annoying dickhead. which is why it's strange that so many people seem to be dickheadmaxxing

can't understand the point of HOA. you're paying fees just so that when you paint your house a different color from you neighbors someone comes over and put you out of your misery

this is true i also bought an xbox

A faux vintage poster for the Oceanside City Marathon advising "NO CHEETING: MArathon Runners MUST end the race in the same form that they started!" and showing a cute young woman transforming into an anthropomorphic cheetah mid race, shifting over multiple stages from a lightly jogging human with brown hair and tanned skin in a pink track suit to a zooming cheetah with a torn outfit and spotty fur.

When you're in the zone and your vision narrows to a tunnel, it may be tempting to let go and turn into a cheetah. But that's an instant disqualification, so don't do it.

3D map of the Chongqing Metro that shows the elevation and decline of each line, with some essentially looking like roller coasters

(Chongqing is the Chinese city that went viral for showing how you could be on the ground floor but then walk a bit and be on the 22nd floor, due to the hilly terrain)

if bluesky isn't going to load on my phone i might as well just uninstall the app lol

sometimes books are challenging and your brain just needs some practice and it will be worth it

on one hand i agree with DNF'ing books when you don't feel like reqding it anymore. but also i wish there was more encouragement to read something challenging and/or outside your comfort zone especially during the chatgpt era

I looked at 200+ artist portfolios. Here's what I learned I went through a ton of artist portfolios, and I saw what a lot of them have to offer. Here's what I took away (and what I'll use!)

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Hi #portfolioday!

My name is Luís, I'm a freelance ilustrator from Lisboa, and today for show and tell I bring some of my TTRPG covers.

Commissions closed but looking for more eyes on some current original projects.

illustration of a blue skinned titan submerged in water, orange vines keep it bound, half-blind, and gagged, holding open what looks like a keyhole in their chest. Small orange and pink fish swim in the water around this creature

an illustration in pink and purple tones showing a latina woman with long dark wavy hair, esoteric tattoos, piercings, and a hecate key around her neck is smiling at the viewer. a cat form familiar is standing on her shoulders, glaring suspiciously at the viewer as spiritual energy swirls the tip of the creature's tail, showing that he is no ordinary feline

a cropped image of a commission portrait. a black woman with beautiful orange eyes smirks at the viewer. She is wearing resplendent celestial armor in silvers and golds, has graying cloud hair and silver metal wings protruding from her back. She is surrounded by sparkling sunlight and energy, framed by golden filigree in the background depicting a two-headed falcon above her head.

mostly grayscale image with red, blue, and chromatic aberration coloration of a demon smoking a black cigarette. The smoke trails up and around her head, pointing to a bleeding sacred heart. The demon has piercings and a collar on, as well as a heart shaped hole in her chest. The creature is surrounded by red-eyed crows that are in flight and cawing around her. Black feathers rain down around the figure as she stares down the viewer with an annoyed expression.

men would rather stand up on the train and get their ass in other people's faces than take an empty seat

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.
