Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

I am so fucking sick of my website getting scraped. Millions of requests per minute, somehow designed to bypass all my security rules, choking the site until it completely stops loading. If I were paying for bandwidth, it would cost me a fortune. How is this legal?

Went back to do more on this redesign. Feels like its coming together. I got a great suggestion to give him a drum that he could use when preforming his Ult.

Worked a bit more on trying to imagine what direction Grey Talon's design could go in if they made his current model be more in line with the theme of Deadlock. #deadlock #valve #GreyTalon

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

The keywords given to Silvers describes her as a feral hot mess, but i don't think it shows much in her face. I wanted to see if there were ways to push it a little further.

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane Support Blender today!!!

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Felt like adding to my Mario Bros. 1 redraw. Fixed Mario, added Luigi and Wario for fun. Peach, Toad and Bowser only work on black backgrounds like the original game. Allowed Koopa Troopa a sprite overaly to get an extra color like in SM3. NES accurate, but probably not optimized. #pixelart #ドット絵

Quick Mario 1 Peach Redraw. Attempted to match the shape to their later iterations. Sprite dimensions are identical, plus 2 8x8 blocks to small Mario and Peach. Would realistically only work on black backgrounds. Now to avoid making this a mockup... #pixelart #ドット絵

saw a clip of G gameplay and wanted to change him to my preference. Always liked G in sfv, but I don't like his face or beard that much. wish his beard had a bit more thought put into its shape and had light reflecting off of it the way hair does.

been working more on the anatomy and also added a few extra clothing detail to get the idea across easier. happy with how he is coming along

Personally not the biggest fan with the direction they took with the new Mecha-Zangief. The detailing is very intense and it doesn't feel like a robot version of Zangief. I wanted to do a paint-over to try and make it into a version i feel better represents him without altering the base too much.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
