✨ She's done! My gouache portrait of Edea Kramer from Final Fantasy VIII is my tribute to a game that shaped part of who I am.
FF8 was the very first FF I played, I was completely in awe & played like it was sacred.
Did you play FF8? Who was YOUR favourite character?

Hoy he empezado a escribir un libro muy muy difícil emocionalmente para mí, pero... :') Espero que vea la luz 💪🏻

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23.

She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24.

Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method."

It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

Every time an artist calls their art content a fairy dies. We’re about to lose them all at this rate guys

¡Primera presentación de «El roce de tus palabras»! 🐸💀

Si conocéis a alguien de Cáceres o alrededores, decidle que se venga la mañana del sábado 28 de marzo a la librería Una Loca de Hartar. Hablaremos de escritores que se quieren en Salamanca y habrá regalitos para todos los asistentes 🩷

Grabas los directos? (Pregunta de abuela). Es que me interesan, pero no me suele cuadrar para verlos 👉🏻👈🏻

Hasta los perros tienen armas en ese país de mierda y nadie nos puede hacer el favor de pegarle un tiro. Baia baia...🤨

«Hay escasez de traductores», decían el año pasado desde Harper Collins para justificar el uso de traducción automatizada por IA. Lo que hay es escasez de ética, de respeto hacia los trabajadores. Hay escasez de voluntad por cuidar la cultura y ofrecer material de calidad.

La editorial francesa Harlequin apuesta por la IA en la traducción y finaliza contratos con traductores Publicado por Redacción Publishnews | Dic 19, 2025 | 0 https://publishnews.es/la-editorial-francesa-harlequin-apuesta-por-la-ia-en-la-traduccion-y-finaliza-contratos-con-traductores/

Harlequin (HarperCollins Francia) finaliza sus contratos con decenas de traductores y traductoras para volcarse de lleno a la IA. La editorial usará una agencia externa, Fluent Planet, para «traducción automática» y luego contratarán freelancers que hagan la «posedición» de lo que escupa la IA ⚠️

¡Bueno, bueno, bueno! Se acercan los Reyes y se me ha ocurrido que sería buena idea dejaros mi novela de fantasía «Mil Dedos» por 1 € (formato digital).

Abajo os dejo enlace, detalles de la novela y una cosita más.
Me ayudaría mucho un ❤️ y republicar para llegar a la gente que le interese 🌸

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

¡!Recordatorio!! 🔔😊
La oferta sigue en pie hasta que acabe la semana, aprovechad y daos un gustito navideño 😎
Y a esas tres personitas que ya han aprovechado la oferta: ¡¡Mil gracias!! ¡¡Que lo disfrutéis mucho!!

Sula's wisdom:

"Y'all, hold my hand.

Feel it: making art based on statistics and market numbers, what the 'audience wants', is like driving only looking at the rear mirrors.

Who knows how to make art is the artist, not the audience. If the audience knew what it wanted, they'd do it themselves."

Doesn't surprise me sadly. What a mess.

Jesus fuckkkkk

"you attract what you fear."

OH GOD. OH MY GOD NOOOO!! A SENSE OF VALIDATION AND BELONGING... AND UNLIMITED FREE TIME TO WRITE?? GET AWAAAAAY FROM MEEEEE!

Me habría tocado el mismo 😂 yo tranquilísima y super emocionada 😂

No sabía que vivías en Alemania! Yo emigré a Inglaterra hace casi 9 años y, quitando la comida, el sol y las librerías (y alguna cosa más), no echo de menos España.

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Congratulations!! So so happy for you 🎉

Looking for fantasy / romantasy cover artists! *HUMAN made mandatory!*
