Caraxes the Red Wyrm

#dragon #HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD #Caraxes #illustration #FanArt #GameOfThrones #ASOIF
Caraxes the Red Wyrm from "Fire and Blood" and House of the Dragon. Caraxes is a long slender red dragon. His head is similar to an alligator with devil horns and a beard of horns. Mid-stride, he walks awkwardly forward with one wing in front. In the distance is the castle Dragonstone and beyond the the sky shows a sunset.

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her.

How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere

If this goes thru it will accelerate Hollywood’s precipitous decline. Thousands laid off. Creatives w/fewer studios willing to bid on projects. Fewer choices of what to watch for consumers. Possibly a death blow for theatrical filmgoing. Just terrible news all around

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

YO- Still here, posting from the library. I got followed definitively today while I was out and trying to pick up my hacked phone from the repair shop. Also in addition to the selfie, 2 screenshots. This acc showed up after I messaged with a friend about what's going on here +2

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

My art advice will always be "get a reference image and just do your best" because these awkward angles aren't easy to draw 🖤

Lol yeah man all that panic over "a Big Mac will cost $15!" if we raise the minimum wage. Well we didn't raise the minimum wage but a Big Mac is $15 now.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.

My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

I cant wait to do Pleine Air in spring!
