This image in the replies was particularly funny to me

I'm sure some of you have heard that Tapas is shutting down by now. I want to say something about that. When I was 15, I uploaded the first pages of CTC on Tapas. When I dropped out at 19, I was picked up by Tapas to make DPS Only. Now at 26, I wake up to see headlines that Tapas will be no more.

You can primarily tell when artwork is human made because it rewards you for zooming in instead of punishing you

Most riveting thing I've seen all week

We need more things made from people’s deep personal feelings, not less. We need less committee, less algorithm. The good stuff comes from people souls without being heavily tampered with by rich businessmen who know nothing about art or story. People want to connect with that gem inside.

this one doin numbers on mastodon but bsky doesn't let me have enough characters

Sick of hearing about the transphobe's wizard show? Were you actually a Redwall kid, anyway? I have good news for you: all 3 seasons of the Redwall cartoon are available for free on Tubi. tubitv.com/series/2361/...

The darkness continues. #Cara has been scraped a third time!. This complete disregard for ethics, copyright law and creativity has to stop!. The team behind Cara are now going for legal help. You can aid them at the link below with their legal journey. Time to fight. #NoAI 🚫 gofund.me/3be9eeb3c

Hey. What happened when I looked away for a week. Hey

adding to OP's note: if you're taking on more comms because you're strapped for money, but still owe work, you'll sabotage yourself VERY quickly whatever short-term income you get is not worth the huge hit to your reputation and long-term income ask for donos instead, OR at the very least

🕯️Manifesting 🕯️

🍓 Commissions are OPEN 🍓 #commissions #art ⚠️2 SLOTS ONLY ⚠️It's NOT first come first serve 🔸Added NSFW options. 🔸Added Rough Render. 🔸Especial flower portraits are back on the menu. Go here if you want one ➡️ vgen.co/Demonyom

it's time... to make a portfolio properly...

I keep harping on this but AI “writers” and “artists“ keep showing what unserious tourists they are. People who actually create agonize over adverbs and color palettes and metaphors and gesture. AI people can’t even be bothered to skim their own book once

🌟ARTSHARE!🌟 Let's appriciate everyone's art all together! ✨Repost for visibility! ✨Share your art below- Sharing your OC gets an extra point! ✨NSFW is okay, please tag them accordingly! ✨Tag your friends if you want! 🚫NO AI, NFTS I'll repost whenever I get my time❤️

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

New form for Raz Wulf, it’s suppose to make him stronger and tankier but slower. He’ll use it when fighting the main antagonist in arc 3

Artists: - Likes do not determine your value - It's okay to not create - Not everything you make has to be important or good - You can make things just for yourself - You're allowed to rest - You're so much more than what you make

Joining some art related discords and finding that people throws their things there and nobody makes a single comment. It's a little sad to see that people don't engage the way they used to...

A good video I think plenty of Artists can benefit from. I know what it looks like. Please. Trust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwsx...

🍊HOW TO TIP ARTISTS ON #VGEN (share for visibility!) 🌱Vgen has a built in tipping, or "boosting" system. The name isn't the most intuitive, but that's a different issue. ✨When clients boost, they can add a cute sparkle around their comm in the artist's portfolio! (+)

Few pages in. It’s already really good go check it out

Topical.

🤖design skeb #VgenComm for @wind21.bsky.social 🍊had a lot of fun with this one (please look at the chibi) 🌱thank you for your tsupport!

The practice of AI companies secretly buying millions of old books (some vanishingly rare), scanning them for AI training, then destroying them, epitomises everything that is wrong with today's exploitative AI industry. 🧵 1/2

It is ill-gotten gains being used to exploit legal loopholes and subsume culture, all protected from public criticism by NDAs. This should not be legal, and it is a travesty that it is going unpunished. www.404media.co/ai-companies... /end

I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.

「いたずら」 #mochi

The rising number of adults who seem unable to engage with any kind of art that may make them feel uncomfortable is deeply troubling and can’t be ignored anymore.

Pixar has just been utterly gutted of almost all its veterans. My partner Jamie has made it, but many of our friends have not. It is incredibly devastating.

Afternoon beach escape. Completely worth it

Make it exist first... then leave it exactly as it is because quite frankly other tasks take priority sometimes. It's already good enough and nobody will spot that tiny mistake, and the fact that you created something in the first place is already an achievement
