A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book.
That's why we have professionals.
(And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)

"Amazon propose une traduction par IA pour les livres Kindle auto-édités"

Bon, je n'en peux plus de soupirer. 🙃

Amazon offers AI translation for self-published Kindle books

Late for Halloween because I forgot to post.

He jokes a lot that he's "blind as a bat" but bats aren't actually blind, his blindness is unrelated

Digital painting of a white man with bat wings, ears and feet, and gray hair. He's wearing a purple jacket and sunglasses, and holding a cup of magical tea and a white cane.

Photo of a hand holding an original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Little Moments" 4"x4" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). A seascape painting with a gray-blue sky with textured, atmospheric cloud formations over a dark blue sea. Waves are meeting a rocky shore, and there are hints of green moss on the rocks. A paint palette with puddles of oil paint and a palette knife are visible in the background.

I'd love to do more cover art for books, and I want to develop my character concept skills, so I'm drawing covers for books I recently enjoyed reading.

Here's Christelle Dabos's Nous (in French, I don't think it's been translated yet)

#coverart #christelledabos

Digital painting in the form of (unofficial) cover art for the book Nous by Christelle Dabos. It's a monochrome blue-gray illustration of a dark-haired fat white woman holding a walkman, and behind her a tall, muscular black man with prosthetic arms. They both have a tattoo-like mark on their faces

Well, this #AceWeek please be aware that I, an ace artist, am attempting to raise funds for my trans ace friend's medical bills. If you have a hankering for ace-themed wallpapers, I got you covered:
buymeacoffee.com/isthiseva/e/340497

Promotional graphic for a set of 5 asexuality themed wallpapers, shown on 5 phone screens. One shows a pair of hands levitating an ace of spades playing card; the second shows a starry night sky with a dragon formed in the negative space of the clouds; the third shows a cheesecake slice in the ace flag colours, with the text "ACE, no matter how you slice it;" the fourth has hand-drawn text that says "I'm beauty, I'm ace, if you mess with my I'll punch you in the face!!;" and the last one shows a cat sleeping among the clouds.

Here in desaturated colors, because I like this version too.

I'm always on the lookout for disabled and fat representation in fantasy books and I enjoyed this one a lot, even though I don't normally read dystopias

Hello #PortfolioDay !

I'm a woodcarver from France. I'm sculpting animals, anthropomorphic ones or weird creatures.

You can find my work on my website, but also ... on DOOM II !

My DOOM II portfolio mod :

www.moddb.com/mods/museumwad

My website :

bisonrimant.fr

Woocarved weird creature with one eye, small tentacles as a motuh, curvy horns, a robre, and a duck on its head.

Anthropomorphic octopus wearing a dress. It has a frog taking shelter on a book on its head. Its holding a basket in its tentacle arms. The base is like dark waters, where, among bulrush, a sword emerge. On the handle, a kingfisher sits.

A sculpture of an anthropomorphic crow with a hooded cape. Its hand is on the pommel of its sword, wich is attached at its side. On the other arm, a squirrel is climbing. Beside its feets, a cat sits.

An anthropomorphic goose weraing plate armor. It' holding a shield and a mace. On the mace, red robin sits.

As a linguist, I can tell you tons of things about the grammars of languages all over the world, how they work, and how they got that way, but I still can’t speak them. I only speak the languages I’ve gotten behind the wheel and practiced with. 🚘🗣️
