Hi, I'm Ring! I'm a writer and 3D render artist, and I work on video games both as a living and for fun. I don't know how much art I'll post here, but if I do, it's probably going to include gay kink stuff. Posts I share will probably also include that. I'll never be upset if someone unfollows me.

Comment period ends Oct 20 and the comments so far OVERWHELMINGLY favor adding checkpoints for voter registration. please if you have a moment go in and comment that adding barriers to registration only contributes to voter suppression, and that noncitizens already can’t vote.

YEP. They may as well just start talking about NPCs at some point, because it's the same urge to cast themselves as the Few Enlightened

"You can get most people to believe anything because they're stupid" is a favorite theme with folks like this and it's always like, okay, apparently you guys will believe anything as long as it lets you imagine most people are that stupid.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Happy fun #Portfolioday
My pin has plenty of info but I also used to work freelance in the toy industry. Necronauts itself is a multimedia project of creatures with a emphasis on terrifying designs without malice. My lil Alien fellas are complex and kind! And can be printed for free through CULTS3D!

Toy designer, 3D modeling/printing, gamedev, swordsman and writer. I am creating my own 3D printable toy line of mysterious aliens and transhuman peacekeepers called NECRONAUTS! And a surreal exploration game called ENERO MALL!

THE NECROBORG, a massive being resembling a decayed astronaut with a large metal coffin shaped object in its twisted torso. There is one of itself in the center of the image, but two others are at its side as the being can appear in more than one place at once.

a blurry trailcam photo of the Annelids Necronaut. Her long neck has many glowing eyes and her body (made of many worm bodies) maintains a feminine shape as she wanders a forest setting.

The Eidolons stand proud in a formation that shows their unique masks that cover the variety of changes these heroes undergo after surgery at the hands of their caring benefactor, the Geist. From the left to the right are an Eidolon Soldier, the medical captain Azarius, a Thinker Unit, a Hounder, and yet another soldier. And in the back is a Pegasus unit, a human transformed into a centaur form to traverse impossible space.

The android jenny, a blue humanoid machine with a single red eye, white hair, and a pink/blue jazzy dress in a room. It doesnt look like a room, but distant walls and mirrored floors bely the nature of this "presentation" space. Distant orbs float in strange formations.

#PortfolioDay hi, I'm Patsu and I'm a fantasy illustrator!
📧: [email protected]
or direct message me for commission inquiries!

Digital painting of a winged centaur. He has curly hair and facial beard, and his horse half is white, and extremely furry. His human half is covered in tattoos and white body hair, and he is wielding a mace/hammer weapon that is in the shape of a horse head.

Digital painting of a pterosaur-like beast called "Wyvern Of The Sea". Its head, neck and upper torso is mostly white, it has a long yellow bill with sharp tips similar to a snapping turtle, a crest on top of its top beak, and an expandable pouch on its throat, similar to a pelican. There is a voluminous pouch of expandable sac around its neck and chest, similar to a Frigatebird, but it seems more decorative than functional. Its lower torso is a black color, with strong bird legs, that have blue webbed feet, similar to the bird Booby. Its tail is long, with fins running on its side, and on its tips.

It has wings that are more webbed than they are feathered, with a protruding thumb similar to a bat's, and three noticeable digits that are flat than they are wiry. It seems this creature is more reptilian and hydrodynamic, than it is avian and capable of flight.

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.

fairy with giant blue morpho butterfly wings and a faint halo, holding a lantern that attract butterflies.

I am almost 40 years old and have yet to find a shotgun, medkit, or even so much as a jewel-encrusted chalice hidden behind a waterfall. I’m beginning to think video games have lied to me.

It only really becomes a problem when people have a way easier time seeing their favorite character as a person with value than the real people in their fandoms, start acting like real harm is being maliciously done to a real person, and forget that they're capable of doing real harm to others.

I legit don't see anything wrong with people wanting to think nice thoughts about a character being happy; I've known folks in one of my dark and edgy ship fandoms who would just make Sims of the main pairing living in wedded bliss as their main activity, and they were perfect sweethearts about it.

House of the Dragon being another case where several of the canon relationships are incestuous, but it's fine because—and I'm sure no one actively thinks of it this way—the showrunners aren't doing it purely for fun, but on behalf of a big company. It's bad when fans enjoy it, though!

Ectoplasma Ring @plasmaring.bsky.social · 19h

Yeah, there's an interesting thing (I'm far from the first to note) where work produced through mainstream channels, with big budgets and mass cultural appeal, have special permission to handle dark subjects, while fans/indies are just being cackling sickos.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

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.
