rye and i are so into puzzles right now but we’ve accidentally bought THREE ai slops?! from huge department stores!!! it’s so disappointing every time, so, i got one a lil closer to home πŸ˜‡ #bilvart

honestly i’m so stoked with how it came out for a $17 puzzle!!! the pieces feel so good and the print quality is absolutely perfect. and rye said it was their fave one to complete so far πŸ₯Ί def makes me want to draw more detailed scenes for people to put together πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

i had the opportunity to showcase a workshop last weekend at the Dandenong Ranges Literary Festival! amidst a lineup of published authors and writing experts, it was an honour to talk through the stages of graphic novels and share so much that i’ve learned πŸ₯Ή

I prefer to have a freak as my pilot. A freak isn’t going to cut corners in the name of profit. They are going to be weird perverts about keeping planes in the air. If me or my family’s safety depends on exacting precision and care, I HOPE they’re fucking weirdo perverts about planes.

i’m so happy the house is chock full of cats now 😭 i missed cats 😭 everywhere i look are purrs and silly mraows and so much affection πŸ˜­πŸ’›

the last six months have been such hell for rye; importing any animal to australia is headache enough, let alone three from so far away. i’m just. so happy it’s over. rye’s here, they’re all here. the family is together and it finally all paid off

losing my mind hearing the news that Tapas is getting shut down this year??? just, gone? what the fuck 😭 all our things 😭

my gf can't pronounce any of my dumb ass medical nonemergencies like the nonallergic rhinitis that plagues me at random, so we gave them silly little nicknames and now i've had rhinos chasing me all week πŸ’•βœ¨πŸ¦

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said β€œno brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

BOO! Paddon πŸŽƒ@benpaddon.net

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

🍊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! (+)

also my long distance partner arrives from across the globe in 3 days. in 3 days we are no longer long distance. in 3 tiny days i get to fall asleep every night with the love of my life??!!!!!!!

bilvie reposted

I've had people who can't afford to support monetarily be the reason paying clients find me just through word of mouth alone. My next customer might not see my post, but they might see your repost of my work or comms.

Haradoshin! πŸ›@haradoshin.bsky.social

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

this is my fave genre of creation πŸ₯Ί

Look idk who needs to hear this cause I've seen alot of artists over the years dig this exact hole, but you need to finish your commissions. A percentage of your clients are going to be repeat commissioners. Another percentage of your clients heard about you from word of mouth. 🧡

everyone's been shitting on the duffer bros since stranger things s5, but i gotta say i have been enjoying the SHIT out of The Boroughs and omg i adoooored Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen πŸ‘ two really great fun horrors (AND SO MANY GUYS I LOVE ARE IN THE BOROUGHS πŸ₯Ί)

You don't actually NEED to have intent on improving your art, studying or being "good" at it. If it makes you happy to just draw your ocs on blank backgrounds then do it. Your art style will evolve naturally and you'll just latently pick up stuff along the way.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

There you have it.

So it seems that #Twitch normal staff are also pissed at the gen AI crap, but big daddy Amazon makes the rules so they don't get a choice. GREAT! infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/...

bilvie reposted

A certain AAA studio told employees that their internal gen AI was trained only on local data, but whenever said employees tried to generate an image of a woman holding a gun, it generated Lara Croft. The studio was not Crystal Dynamics, and had never worked on the Tomb Raider IP in any capacity.

jess m. β˜•πŸ‚@jametc.bsky.social

I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping

10 perverts who are ride or die for you is always more valuable than 10,000 people who don't give a shit

Kayin@kayin.moe

PROBABLY fake in a literal sense, but also EMOTIONALLY fake. Artists made more money on cohost. Some special interests are still on forums. Some people survive off fucking MAILING LISTS somehow. Reach is only useful if it reaches something you want. Views only matter if they're meaningful.

Twitch isn't making Gen AI training *opt-in* because no one would voluntarily choose to opt in. Instead, they are offering an opt-out option.

bailey passed away tonight. at 11 years old we knew it would be coming, but it still came out of nowhere. just so grateful i got to hold her through it while she faded and just. fell to sleep in my arms.
