Marketa Leupoldova has created a gorgeous set of photos celebrating the Yakuts, an indigenous people of eastern Siberia known for their traditions in shamanism and animal deities including Uluu Suorun (the Great Raven). Model: Aldana Duoraan #art #beautifulbizarre
I am just a messenger, this is what the universe wanted you to see
I let out several different audible “NO”s during this video incredible stuff, you gotta watch the whole thing
I've seen so many variations on "Jokes on you, I ALREADY wanted to fuck Watto" over the last couple days
Everyone wants to know if his trunk is prehensile. No, not that one. (Just some rough colors over previous sketch)
I have been in the industry 14 years now and have been part of 14 games and many of them and my personal work can be seen on my portfolio and I'm available for environment work in the UK, Here is some work for 4 of them titles. #gamedev #3dart www.artstation.com/pikminman
It just hits so good. Those designs and how much they push them
I had no idea how fun this show was, or how good it looked in motion! The backgrounds are particularly gorgeous
(I will try, for you.)
Cool!
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
what color defines your portfolio? red and green. no matter what. i am trapped. someone help
"i've got access to the kids, but they don't wanna see me"
Love seeing AI artists get thrown out of an artist alley the same day the most tenured editor at Marvel is like "hey AI is kinda fun, and probably inevitable".
I'm probably never going to be hired by Marvel again due to pointing this out, but anything produced by AI is stolen work. It is utilizing existing art without credit or payment. Google is scraping the hard work of creative professionals and remixing it.
My favourite is by @emrynbird.bsky.social but I can't link it as a quote post here, but you can see in the media tab!
Not quite Watto dick, but bsky.app/profile/xeno...

Hold up gimme 5
marvel pays artists like shit for decades and even when films get picked up, no one on the creative team sees a single royalty check. all comic book publishers make money off exploiting the people that work under their label, not even as official employees but as contractors and subcontractors
"Tee hee isn't this fun" doesn't land so much as it crashes through your workers sense of security. The ONLY reason for gAI is to strip value from labour, to enrich CEOs and shareholders. You should resist it wherever possible, it's your responsibility to staff and freelancers.
You don't *need* to use gAI. You can make all the justifications you like, but insisting "it's here, we have to live with it" when YOURE the one bringing it into the house is just weak. Nobody needed this shit 3 years ago. Pretending you do now is just signalling future attacks on labour.
Er, you might want to rethink this one, Cineworld
i dunno about you but i feel like a comic editor using AI just for funsies is like someone chuckling as they dig a grave for you to be buried in. it sucks big time

Any Sexy Watto wannabes wanna come test this scent at our #DragonCon booth today?
..excuse me?
I’m gonna teach you guys a really useful phrase: “My bad, I don’t know what I was thinking. Deleting this.”
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
oh and in case you feel bad about charging them back here ya go. Absolute trash person.
I love lotr for normalizing having short friends
AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it
I think @kodyisover.com started it but then he deleted his Watto
Millennials are middle aged now but not me. I stayed young somehow

they are VERY little

I targeted him, specifically, as a bit.
"bluesky is mean and gatekeeping and unwelcoming and-" Do these people not have... pals? Like, who is jumping into this site to befriend complete strangers? All these liberal and centrist crybabies are such fucking losers, stop putting them on ma feed
Less whining, more Watto
It’s my birthday today! 🎈 I’d be delighted if people shared this around to help me celebrate turning 29 🎂 Also, hello to any art directors, my folio and contact info is in the replies 😉
The saying goes that success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. While many helped in this result, I want to single out @tupped.bsky.social for his work and (reluctantly) @garygannontd.bsky.social for taking on the risk. But it’s not over. Not until the EU says no to Israeli war bonds.
They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste
The recent shenanigans on here broke my brain and initially thought there was gonna be a storm Watto😂
It may have been a kind of group madness lol.
Watto Geonosis Evangelion 𝑀𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒸𝓀𝓈 (𝒹𝑜𝓃'𝓉-𝒶) 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀 𝑜𝓃 𝓂𝑒. 𝒪𝓃𝓁𝓎 𝓂𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓎 @ianfay.bsky.social this ‘Watto Weekend’ sent me into an existential crisis.
it took us a long while, but the script for Shaw City Strikers' relaunch is almost done! we're going for a single-volume release, to start, and decide where to go from there here's some sick guest art from the original monthly webcomic version by @sebastianpiriz.bsky.social and @brobexx.bsky.social
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
I'm devastated I missed it all hahaha I never thought he'd show the video on stream Also, I didnt even include the really penis-y art so this was the tame version lmao
I am so sorry vinny I didn't think you'd show it on stream
If anyone recorded Vinny looking at the Watto's lemme know!
I am so sorry vinny vinesauce
I can't believe I missed this. I'm dying
I'm fuckin SCREAMING
Lmao this is too good to be true
with trump and giuliani edging right up to the border of death, the comedic rule of threes now screams for blood
Hearing that there’s AI art being sold at Dragoncon makes me livid. Im not there right now because scam “artists” found their way in, taking spots away from legitimate artists like me.
Be quiet my show is on
Oh god the talentless worm couldn't even write his own slop, it's got all the common framing and —. You're absolutely right to rip him one.
Evolution is beautiful
Watto-field
I honestly think I might be the one Vinny fan of the early bunch of wattos and I was like 8 or 9 Wattos deep.
It's flawless.
watto wonderful world (beautiful music borrowed from @vinny.vinesauce.com )
Perhaps the worst part of drawing sexy Watto was that I did it *in public* at the local leisure centre while MrsH and the kids went swimming.
I don't feel qualified to answer the question "is my Watto sexy enough to be sexy Watto", so please let me know if you think my Watto is sexy, thanks #starwars #watto
The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.
took a gamble and replaced the screen on my old broken vita (i won) and replaced the case of my old wii!!! i can't stop winning
Lmao
Forgotten by God or surrounded by Watto, I know which I prefer
Nobody knows, every artist who's been asked says someone else started it, and everyone just collectively felt compelled to join in and it spread
To clarify, this was going on a full 24 hours before the trump stuff. The artists feed was "what the fuck is with all the watto's", causing more wattos. I woke up yesterday and suddenly it had intermingled with the trump stuff, which was funny as hell, but Watto came first
Oh no no no this was a group action hahah though I do admit to encouraging any artist I saw who was on the fence about it lol
It's been a very funny couple of days, especially as I've been really focusing on a course and my brain was already fried
You're always so wise 😭
Turns out Watto, and accidentally walking into Brazilsky 2 days ago, launched me well beyond the follower number I had on twitter lol
I think it is enough to know that you have the potential of Watto. I know (and fear) your power.
Where is your community spirit? Where is your Watto??
I can direct some towards you if you'd like
I heard we were making Watto sexy. #starwars #watto
He set you *free*
That's what Real Art does to ya
Now why did someone just ask me if I'm drawing Watto with fat honkers????
For no particular reason... Here was Terryl Whitlatch's 1997 orthographic concept art for #Watto 's skeleton, for Star Wars Episode I.
I’m not drawing Watto with ‘big naturals’ stop asking.
Oh shit
Thrilled
I don't know if I want this title
So is your point that seeing the art that caused the posts describing the art killed the meme, for you?
