My online shops (diurnaldaysart.etsy.com and diurnaldaysart.bigcartel.com) will remain open over the holidays, but the last day to get stuff shipped for the holidays is December 17th! Any orders made afterward are shipping in 2026! 🎄
I sometimes take art client work outside of my usual mecha/anime stuff, and ngl the specter of "I have to prove that I'm worth paying over using an AI slop machine" is really demoralizing
At least one of my consistent clients asks for portraits that require a lot of original artistic interpretation

「パトレイバー劇場版シリーズ」「マクロスプラス」「MEMORIES」そして「人狼」などが続々と、一気に4Kソフト化されることを知り。ここに至って、僕にとっての重要な作品たちの高画質ソフト化というのはもう終わりつつあるな・・・と感じています。ある意味で僕が最後に熱中した作品たち。この世代への商売としてはいったん終着点を迎えたような感慨が。

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Working on a 2-part video on artist alley advice, made a lil' flowchart on how I interact with customers!
I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on how much you should interact with customers- this is my happy medium that generally works well!

I can’t care about microplastics. No one ever tells you what to do about it. It’s just like “there’s even more microplastics inside you then you ever thought possible.” Okay I guess I’ll just die then. Stop bothering me.

Tbh I think most artists and creatives are mostly remembered for a few specific works they created in their lives... I wonder which work I'll be the most known for?

I think Cinderella Gray is really hitting for me partially because the arc about Oguri Cap moving out of the regionals really gets into the feelings both of someone too talented to remain small-time, and the feelings of someone who is talented but not talented enough to go into the big leagues

For what it's worth, even Okouchi (the original Code Geass writer) seems to appreciate that mix.

Also the official Gundam Wing x Code Geass crossover manga done by the Glory of the Losers mangaka is really really funny to me
I guess Lelouch stealing the Wing Zero in Super Robot Wars DD really was that much of a smash hit idea
I personally love it bc crossover slop should at least be funny

New Code Geass anime could be something, or it could be a mid nothingburger like every other CG spinoff from the past 10 years
The writer did KADO The Right Answer in the past, so I don't have much faith in the full story even if the beginning will probably be promising
