Travis Knight says that LAIKA will NEVER use generative AI in their films: “AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.”

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

This is actually the funniest idea of all time

Im glad I saved this before deactivating my twitter and losing my discord where I had posted it

『 ✏️💫 SKETCH → FINAL 』 ─ ✧˖° It's that time again - I want to feature some more sketch vs final side-by-sides~! These are recent client pieces and I love how each one turned out ;;

Made a thing about feeling like you’re “in trouble” as an adult

✨🌙 Little moon wolf 🌙✨

We report: the moon will be full in a few hours, but it is not yet the bright floodlight that we are used to on clearer nights. Although the cloud cover is thin, it still manages to dim the moonlight. In a way, we feel grateful; it is easier to observe the craters like this.

yeh tbh if AI is so great you should be proud of it, you should disclose it everywhere and put a bunch of stickers yourself that you used it for your project showing everyone how cool and cutting edge you are, no? like, it's the future right? you love it right??

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

Starry Night 🌌 #art #HermitCraft #goodtimeswithscarfanart

We report: later on, the sky is still working to sort itself out, all its pieces scattered every which way. The storm has moved on to the east, shaking some other trees that we do not know about. Many of the leaves of the trees we do know are on the ground now.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

We report: the sunrise is a little furious, shaken out of the clouds instead of the expected slow reveal. The clouds are also mangled and mean, moving fast, shredding in the strong wind gusts. We had trouble sleeping through the groaning and creaking of a stormy night.

anybody else just like... tired

Fun fact, Laika movies very rarely make their budgets back at the box office, but they keep putting out bangers entirely because they have the one good rich boy in the entire ecosystem.

the story goes like this

ok i think i’m calling it a day on this murmuration. #art

We report: the sky was still bright when we got on the train. We watched the slow spread of ink over the clouds, the gilding of the horizon, and the rain advancing our way - or rather, we are coming to the rain. Just like this, when we get off the train, it is a different world.

February and November artwork for 2027 Calendar!✨ ...link in bio!

I painted this when late summer was slowly evolving into fall. Lush green leaves and early sunsets with golden light hitting the leaves. The changing of the seasons always has an impact on me.

We report: if we walk for a little while, we do warm up, but it is chilly. We thought that the sun would be out for the whole afternoon, but for some reason, the clouds remain exactly at the level where they are able to hide it. It is just visible enough to obstruct our eyes.

We report: later on, it starts pouring, but only after the sun has really finished setting. Our expert confirms it; the sun is below the horizon, and we are even a few paces into nautical twilight by the time any raindrops can be felt. We are completely taken by surprise.

i judge for a few festivals, and i can safely say that the games that always stand out the most are ones with personal creative care taken in every aspect of the game. people say AI should replace this but you can’t automate intentionality or love. if you bank on that then you don’t understand art.

Night Life

『 Everything Flows 🌱 』 ─ ✧˖° Growth is clumsy and unpredictable and arrives before we recognize it. Experience can chart your course and also dampen your compass. Passively await the old to change, or dig deep and disturb the soil anew. The time will pass regardless but you can shift the outcome.

What a strange and wonderful life it must be, to be good at parrying in video games.
