‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

I'm still on the hunt for full-time and contract work. I'm also open to smaller projects. As stated in the quoted post, I am pretty versatile! Times are tough, but I'm ready to draw!

It has been a lot of fun developing my “cave art” style. In the context of my story, the most common cave art does not depict eyes, as it is considered a taboo to include them. It is thought to bind the soul of the creature depicted and thus, cause their spirit to be angry.

Still fawning over this rex. Some of Kieran’s best work to date and he’s just crouching there casually stylin on all of us like he didn’t just create a new gold standard

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

I think we should embrace being bad at things, but having the courage to try anyway. That's how people learn and grow. It's a damn sight better than the cowardice of giving up and having a crappy robot live our lives for us.

I've updated my character/creature design project, and it's all in one place now. It was my bday yesterday; if you want to help me celebrate, share this post! The post below has the goods👇

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

Well, as a surprise to no one #Cara has been scraped again!. Another crook taking what’s not there’s. The damage this is doing to the platform both physically and financially is huge. The #GenAI movement is an absolute curse.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Thank you all for helping me with sharing my previous post. I really appreciate it!! <3 So for now I'll also start sharing these insect characters I did a while ago.

Here's the MC of my Mesoamerican-fantasy personal project, along with some armor design concept art. The original idea was for this character to be in an ARPG/Metroidvania, and the armor is loot gained by defeating certain enemies.
