"Bite the hand that feeds you before it twists your little neck to cook you for dinner"

#Art #BirdArt #DNDArt #Ihk #Starling #TTRPGArt #OCSky #ArtSky #BskyArt #D&D #DarkArt

Digital drawing of my starling Birdfolk character Ihk. They're in the center, their head to the side and looking at the viewer with one eye. They're holding a normal european starling to their chest. It has it's wings spread slightly on Ihk. Two big hands of a woman are holding Ihk by his head and neck. One hand looks almost gentle on their face, framing Ihk's eye with her fingers. But the other hand is gripping around Ihk's neck. The woman's hands look older and labor worn. They're adorned with golden rings and around her wrists are golden and beaded bracelets. Her fingernails are very pointy and sharp, like claws. She's wearing white, wide sleeves. You can't see anything else of the woman other than her hands and a bit of her forearms. The drawing is framed by ears of grain. The background is dark, darker at the top and you can see more tall grain stalks.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Coloured illustration of a tiefling with dark green skin and horns sitting on a thick tree branch above a lake. They have long flowing black hair with blue accents, and they're wearing a decorated top alongside wide pants and a slit skirt, all in lavender tones. The same lavender colour can be found in the flowers on their hairpiece and earrings, as well as in various flowers in the foreground. A full moon is illuminating the piece from above and reflecting in the ocean below.

Fullbody illustration of a man with tan skin and light blonde hair in a long thick braid hanging down to his waist. He's kneeling on the floor,wearing a simple back wrap dress, one hand holding a white and black scythe. He has wings fading from brown to white, with golden and white spreckles all over them. In the background is a set of stained glass windows frames by thin golden frames, part of a church overgrown by vines

Illustration of two merfolk embracing each other. The left one has black braided hair and dark skin with vibrant teal coloured markings all over the skin, as well as a very long dark green tail with various side fins and more bright markings. The one on the right has light skin and hair in various pastel shades. Her tail is shorter and grey, with various white patches both on the tail and her skin.

A painting illustration of the character Isilaithion - an obsidian wyrm from the World of Warcraft setting in an elven visage with deep brown skin and long black hair. He is posed against a starry, dark background with Azeroth framing his head in the back, one side of it dark and destroyed, and the other yet vivid and lively. He has a relaxed pose, right hand raised to cast a wisp of flame while his left holds a stone snake gently. He wears black robes with gold trimmings and jewellery, the right side of his face shrouded in shadows, almost menacing with the purple glow to his eye; meanwhile, his gaze is drawn to the snake slithering in his hand as he smiles gently.

art of a male Lavellan Inquisitor with his naked back against the viewer, showing off a white, almost glowing branch of vallaslin tattoos running down his spine and arching over his shoulders. his face is obscured by short cropped, curly black hair.

illustration of a celestial called Paris. they are kneeling, mostly bare besides their long golden hair and wings covering them. their wings and body has golden, eldritch eyes appear on them and their plumage contorts into fleshy parts, signifying a corruption they suffered in their childhood. they smile coyly, almost a little sinisterly, with a golden halo bursting outwards behind their head.

$reference sheet of a blue dragon in a dracthyr visage. the lineup depicts his casual clothes, formal wear and armor, both front and back view. Each outfit contains various shades of blues and greys with silver trimmings. On the right, his inventory is depicted, including a fractured, dark ice staff, a purple arcane wand, a journal, an obsidian snake held together with volcanic magic, an assortment of crystals, and a spiky, dark elementium cube artifact.$

Aurora stands by threshold of a portal comprised of two columns connected by an arc. She wears a long flowy dress, with a bodice decorated with white roses. She is lifting her hand towards a star, and golden threads are wrapped around her. There is water on the ground where the stars are glittering.

Hey there, #PortfolioDay!

I'm Ashley, an artist who works on book covers, TTRPG's, and tarot cards. I thought today I'd show y'all two of my fav pieces that I just saw are in the wild~ 💚

Done for the @oldgodspod.bsky.social TTRPG with @montecookgames.com

#DigitalArt | #MyArt | #DarkArt

A tall young man leans forward on a countertop of a market stall, face close to the seated young woman who runs it. They are deep in conversation. We see a banner for her store, "Ruth's Apothecary", and note that she is surrounded by various witchy supplies including ceremonial knives and hallucinogenic dreamer's tea.

A young woman with overalls stands yelling in the middle of a river, her arms outstretched to try and distract to shadowy monsters that have chased her and her friends to this point. Behind her, a man carries a woman in a yellow dress, who look is looking over his shoulder, terrified at what she sees. He is carrying her toward a house on top of a hill with lit windows, a beacon of hope.

"Rip out the Rot"

cn: blood
#Blood #Art #BirdArt #DNDArt #Ihk #Starling #TTRPGArt #OCSky #ArtSky #BskyArt

Digital drawing. Only part of the person is visible. They're holding a bundle of ripe wheat in their hands in front of their torso. The hands have a gentle pose, they're dark and have long claws. Between the wheat are blue forget me not flowers and white yarrow. The cut ends of the wheat appear to be bleeding. The person is wearing a beige dress with red embroidery on the sleeves. They're wearing a bunch of red coral necklaces resembling Ukrainian traditional style. The sleeves are very wide and hanging down. In the sleeves are 3 starlings. Two on the left and one on the right. There's also yarrow and forget me not flowers poking out of the sleeves. The bottom of the sleeves is bloodied and the middle of the dress is too. Presumably where the wheat bled on them. There's two more starlings on each arm. They're snuggling close to the chest of the person but they're also surrounded by the wheat that's being held.

The Hanged Man.✨

I added the tarot layout and I really like it!

#Repostober
#Art #Ihk #DnD #OCSky #ArtSky #BskyArt

Digital drawing of a humanoid starling bird person hanging upside down by their foot. Resembling the tarot card "The Hanged Man". The sky is blue with white clouds behind them and below is a golden grain field with starlings flying in a swarm above it. The rope the person is hanging by is also made of wheat and appears to be attached to the golden bracelet they're wearing on that foot. Their left wing is folded and looks tidy. Their right wing is looking very rough. It's broken and hanging down into the grain. The feathers are visibly damaged. They are looking towards the floor on the side of their broken wing. There's a thin golden border framing the drawing like a tarot card. At the Top is a circle saying "XII" and at the bottom it says "The Hanged Man"

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

A digital rendered illustration of two autumn eladrin posing, looking at the viewer, one laying their head and hands on top of the other's. They are mine and my friend's original characters. They are both pale-skinned with orange hair and beards. Accolon (top) has golden eyes with black sclera and Estel (bottom) has green eyes with white sclera. They are both covered in golden jewelry. Estel has flowers in his hair and wears a burgundry v-neck top and autumnal makeup. Accolon has a green to black gradient around their eyes, on their arms, and at their ears. The background is indicative of a tavern.

A rendered digital illustration of two original characters kissing. One is a pale-skinned firbolg with long, beaded brown hair and hooves wearing a large brown coat and blue embroidered cardigan. He is leaning down dramatically to kiss his partner, a dark blue-skinned elf with chitinous armour and tight, dark clothing. They also have gold markings on their upper arms and face, and they stand on their tip toes to kiss the firbolg. They both stand on a well-worn path in a flower field in early spring, snow still melting, with green trees on the horizon.

A rendered digital painting of two men as a study of Springtime (Pierre Auguste Cot). One man is a scruffy tan-skinned human with pulled up black hair, and the other is an elegant, pale autumn eladrin with flowing red hair with flowers in it.

A rendered digital portrait of a blue-skinned fairy with a long blue mullet and blue morpho-inspired wings. They are smiling widely at the viewer. They have dark blue/purple moth-like antennae, white whiskers, and a spectral white unicorn horn. They have freckles and a pink blush across their cheeks. The background is a dark purple to gold gradient, with the gold centred around the character's head.
