When Piet ist older. Like 30+ or so. I really like this one, he feels so real. He's not as skinny anymore and has rounder features like his chin and nose.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Ridiculous and appalling that Open Ai, amongst other GenAi companies, think they can dictate how THEY use OUR works.

No, Open Ai, it should not be authors and copyright holders opting out of your exploitative models. It should be you, Open Ai, asking authors and copyright holders to opt IN.

OpenAI's new Sora video generator to require copyright holders to opt out, WSJ reports

OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyrighted material, unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Every trans person who transitions later in life is a gift to the community.

Your example tells those still waiting: it’s not too late and you are not alone.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

I'm a concept artist in the video game industry, an illustrator & a comic artist !
I'll be part of the High Strangeness new series at Oni Press x SpectreVision, doing the art for one of it's issues

Colored piece, drawing of a woman in modern clothes, jean shorts,t shirt, barefoot, with a crown of thorns on her head, wielding magic, giant flowers with an eye at their center in the dark background

Drawing of a mermaid resting, lying on the ground of a quiet cove, surrounded by plants and flowers, part of her tail and hair in water, while she gently watches three ducklings swimming among the lotus flowers

one-page comic, black and white and grayscale
panel 1 : close up of a woman's hand, wearing rings, on an old spellbook page
panel 2 : same woman's hands conjuring some black fire
panel 3 (big) : woman sitting on the floor where a pentagram is drawn, with skulls and candles, while a tiny demon with horns seems to jump out of the spellbook right on her legs, visibly very happy
the woman's wearing converse-like shoes, jeans, a tope revealing her shoulders (and a big tatto on the left one), she has a choker necklace and hair loosely tied into a messy bun
text : Look. There's never a perfect time to cast your first spell. Especially as a self-taught witch. Reckless ? Sure. But the truth is... I needed a friend."

Color piece, drawing of a witch floating in the night sky, surrounded by glowing purple/pink swords she just summoned, a real giant rapier hovering next to her, her long curly hair almost wrapped around its blade
She has roses and thorns tattooed on her right upper arm, glowing magical patterns on the left one, a white tank top, skirt, tight with floral patterns, no shoes, and a fierce expression on her face
Pink moon and purple clouds in the background

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

aw thanks so much Theeio 💛

I love how in that in between stage body parts grow a different rates. Skinny long legs and torso hasn't caught up yet ^^

And I love how clothes can enhance that too! I tried to make her shoes bigger to make legs feel even more gangly 🥰

Jinx doodle

This drawing came out of a conversation I had with a coworker

What Jinx might look like in between Eps03-04...the awkward stage between being a child and a grown teenager, where your legs are all gangly and proportions haven't fully set in 💛
#Jinx #arcane

Drawing of Jinx from Arcane in between S01 Eps3 and 4.

Jinx looks at the viewer with a defiant stare, her awkward hunched pose not yet showing the confident stance we know her for. Legs bowed inward she glances at you from behind bangs that hide half her face, half of what she's thinking. From how unruly her hair hangs below her hips, untied and unkempt, it looks like she's a feral child, more then a well kept orphan. Boots that are too big for her contribute to accentuate her awkwardness as they contrast her thin skinny legs poking out like sticks from the encased grave.
