So I like anime and Phantom but since anime isn't made by animating to a voice track and doesn't use mouth charts, singing always looks terrible and it would be especially bad in a musical where there is one, a lot of singing and two, acting and story development that has to happen through singing.

Some plein air/studio hybrid pieces from a recent trip to Vancouver island. Trying to work bigger on-site (10x12 in) and get these as finished as possible before that final polish in the studio. Sometimes I need to sit with these for a bit before something 'clicks' into place.
I'm normally against anything AI but honestly this might not be such A bad idea assuming it can work accurately. (Of course the smart kids will log in using there parents or older siblings accounts...)
We kept trying to warn you bitches this would fucking happen and would be disastrous for nearly everyone, but NOOOOOOO. Y’all just had to have a broken GBT system write for you and tell you info you could’ve looked up yourselves, and have your ugly ass Generative images for memes.

I started watching Takopi's Original Sin and all I can say is WOW. I had some suspicions about what kind of story it was going to be but it sure went above and beyond. Highly recommended (if you have the mental fortitude.) #takopi #takopisoriginalsin
About time a search engine did this. Picture research is time-consuming enough with also having to trawl through page after tedious page of false, redundant, pointless imagery claiming to be something it isn't. #FuckAI #duckduckgo

being an artist is hilarious because it's like "yeah i can capture and depict the intricacies of the human form" and then 10 minutes later im googling some shit like "bed" because i forgot what basic things look like
Kpop Demon Hunters is such a boring name. Why couldn't they have called it Idols and Demons???
What are the biggest media influences on your art? For me it's: A Child's Garden of Verses, The Lord of the Rings (books), Avatar the Last Airbender, Final Fantasy IX and ICO

Regulating generative AI is really good. I wish my country would do it too.

I'm becoming more and more for states rights with every passing moment. Even the right to secede is looking pretty darn enticing...

I would do this but I know so little about popular tv shows, I would have no idea which ones I haven't seen would be the most shocking 😅

Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.

🎉Happy Birthday to Heinrich Kley, who was born on this day way back in 1863. Kley was a German illustrator, who gained popularity with his energetic pen & ink drawings in "Youth" art magazine. His work was collected in a series of sketchbooks--which are still in print, over a century later!
On a day like this, why not give yourself a break by image-searching "buildings shaped like animals"
