I'm drawing hands again. It's been a while, it almost feels weird😅
😬scary stuff, glad you're ok
Oh no! That sucks Carol, but it will happen!
Good to hear! You got this!
important to reiterate from time to time: "artificial intelligence" does not exist. there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator. what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.
NOOO😭
I thinks he skates really well for so little practice!
How are you holding up Brian, how's treatment going?
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

People who know how AI works don't use it for anything important because they understand it's limitations. Here's an interesting take on those promoting and advocating for AI. softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...
While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.
😈📺 🎨😈 Because this photo was superior and I took a watercolor workshop and learned some new tricks: Tom watercolor portrait, the first Tom related piece I've done for some time. It was nice to come back to this face! #luciferfanart #fanart #TomEllis
He looks like he should be on Moon base Alpha😂
No to turtle neck, too many bad associations😅. But orange works on him, would prefer it a bit darker, though
He's so cute Izzie!😍
Love it! Love white on black!
This is great Scratch!😍
The deal to purchase this jacket and vest from my #LuciferNetflix 📺😈 collection fell through ~ thanks to two different scammers. That means the listings are back up on eBay and the items are available for sale. Check the thread for the other items I've listed. #Lucifans ebay.us/m/UoNyH8
Those are top tier pictures
And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...
infuriating. I know a bunch of cons follow me. don't do this. AI has already stolen the work of hard working and passionate artists with real heart and pov. the artist's potential to make $$ in these convention spaces is more vital than ever. fuck off with this.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
😢
MY FILM FIRSTS WITH... TOM ELLIS #TomEllis youtu.be/hMTyJSDShwI?...
They look so grown up! Beautiful pic!
Hoof maintenance😆😆😆
Fisk is fish in Swedish
But the US is not fascist! 49.8% of the voters can’t be wrong! He’s no Nazi! [& so the defence goes]. In 1937 Hitler decided that museums should only exhibit state [his] approved art. It was called Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art). 88y later America’s führer is introducing it again. Not good.
Ugh. It's like everyone has just willingly surrendered their brain. I read that letting ai diagnose cancer from pictures has already made human doctors less good at it. The brain is like a muscle, if you don't use it it atrophies
Not loving the pants but he's gorgeous as always!😍
I finished this Barn Owl last night and I love it! 🦉 Oil on canvas
Norway is in charge of the Peace Price though, and that's the one he wants
Thank you Lev! Science is important!
I told you changing his name to Colin was a sign!
I hope you have an awesome day Mai!!
I can probably help you with the hands😂 I'll have a look later today
Mm, cozy. Though, I think it's the son running the show now. This was 20 years ago. But I can't say I've kept up.
But I guess there the sultan cult was somewhat earned at least. Healthcare and education was free, they didn't pay much tax and a government jobb was for many the ultimate goal bc of good pay and you were set for life. Guess he had to do something with all that oil money
School actually. It was a 2week summer university. It reminded me of the US, minus guns and alcohol. Muslim, but not strict when it came to clothing. Car centric city. We were there at the Sultan's bday, very much a cult around him, portraits everywhere, but ppl were friendly, seemed happy
I realised the extremes just happened to be in four different directions. The rest is basically different countries in Europe 😅
Furthest I've been N. Murmansk, Russia S. Isle of Chiloé, Chile E. Brunei, Borneo W. Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada
Yay to quitting the cancer sticks (again), go Tom! So happy about the name change, Hart Hoxton was an unbelievably ridiculous name. And I know he's supposed to be American, but Colin, to me, is a very British name👀
"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories. EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS. Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.
Oh ffs yes! But what I really, truly hate is coming back, starting to reopen stuff after a completely unannounced restart, and getting "your computer needs to be restarted after all these updates it installed". Oh really? You had your chance 5 minutes ago pal!
Ugh, I'm sorry Sharlene. Keeping my fingers crossed for good results round two!
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
I sincerely hope not😅
😂
No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? Sooo... Group therapy then?
Thank you! The reflection was so much fun!
Thank you Emma! They are fun to paint, it's been years and years since I did it last!
Thank you Lev!
Thank you so much! I actually quite enjoy painting hands and paws😅 but I really liked this reference when I found it. The reflection was fun!
You are a WARRIOR Lis!
Another big cat, swimming tiger, oil on canvas. I'll see if I get around to this month's Lucifer prompt as well, but no promises.
“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?
You've come to the right place! Welcome!
Ugh! I have one that's a no-show, but there's nothing there to show according to x-rays
Aaaand we're back after a summer month hiatus! Your #LucifanArtPrompts for August is FALLING. Ohh we have ideas but we'd love to see yours! Enjoy! #LuciferNetflix 📺😈 #LuciferFanArt 🎨😈 #LuciferFanArtPrompts

I KNOW! How can I even LIVE with myself?!?
Trying to decide if I should name this piece The Unacceptable Situation or if maybe The Suffering Cat is more on point? I mean, the bowl might be full, but the food is HOURS old. Life is a STRUGGLE.
Supposedly after pretending it was about money they're just openly talking in meetings about how they'll trash contracts and fire comedians for the absolutely unprescedented act of... making fun of the president on a late night talk show. Dictator shit.
Scruuufff!😍 (I take what I can get 😆)
Thank you Kat! I very nearly gave up, got stuck and had to restart it
Thank you Kat!
Just beautiful Gladys! I wish I could have managed to fit the fire wings too!
Picard civics tip: If there is one truth, one constant that history shows us over and over, it is that resistance is never futile.
This is terrifying. And if we think they will stop with immigrants and homeless people. We are wrong.
All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.
Pay attention. If you let these fucking LLMs into high schools and colleges, a Nazi billionaire can tweak the bigotry dial and funnel Nazi propaganda into the classrooms. #AbolishAI
Damn, I'm sorry Jackie!
Isn't it just perfect?!
It's not black and blue even if I squint
Oh shit, has it been that long?!?😆
My son realised you can make emoji mashups. We will be communicating in turtles from now on
Great pic from mothedirector on ig of Washington Black bts. Excited to see the show tomorrow. #TomEllis
Oh, I bet! And straight lines suck!
This one wrecked me
🥳🥳🥳
Adorable little smile!😍
So yummy!!
Trying to think of other revolutionary products that consumers repeatedly had to be tricked into paying for rather than ones that consumers loved and demanded
"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪
It's sublime
Parts of the Art Demons have been on a A Discovery Of Witches bender lately (show and books) and Matthew Goode in general (absolutely excellent in Dept. Q) so here is a watercolor portrait of Matthew as Matthew. It was harder than I thought learning a new bearded face😅, not 100 % there yet.
Thank you Izzie! The buckle and belts were fun! The armour too, but dresses, especially fancy stuff are sooo far outside my comfort zone. I know absolutely zero about fashion😅
Aw, thank you! The armour was definitely my favorite part of this!
Thank you! It really was a pita😆. I remembered again that dresses and fancy clothes are NOT my thing, I'm a fashion illitterate. But armour was fun. I wanted to add the wings of fire but couldn't make it it work with both of them in the same picture
😆
Such a lady!😻
