Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Summer Laimu & Limon
#laimuart

Ferret Vtuber Laimu (summer outfit) and her ferret companion Limon (a little chonkier than normal) enjoying a breezy midafternoon on a sunny beach as clouds roll past in the distance.

you got this bro. 🫵 trust

ollie @polliemorph.bsky.social · Sep 10

I get the feeling. 🥲 I'm guessing they just got good enough to draw faster and with less effort. so it doesn't feel like as much of a commitment.

Hair Study

Coloring study for stylized anime hair. Details what separate elements I think make for appealing rendered hair: rim lighting, subtle detailing within the light and shadow side, hair highlights, and extra environmental lighting to describe more of the form. Also shows how rendering an apple can be similar to rendering hair, as well as some other rendered samples of different colored hair strands.

I’m lowkey obsessed with blurry, soft edges lately. The smudge tool has a chokehold on me.

Making yourself dependent on external appreciation is very dangerous. I did this and it ruined how I perceive my own art:
I started to hate my art even though the moment before I posted it I was content with it.
So don't let this negate all your positive feelings you had towards your work.

Some notes from studying anime eyes (irises specifically). Hope you find it helpful. 👁️✨

#anime #eye #art #tutorial

$Anime Iris Study Notes: "The rendering of the iris can be simplified into 4 parts. A. The "Highlight" (brightest reflected light source), B. The "Skylight" (secondary reflected light sources), C. The "Cast Shadow" of the top of the concave iris, & D. The "Refracted Light" that pools at the bottom of gem-like materials.$

#2024年自分が選ぶ今年の4枚

Technically most of them were done prior but all came out this year. These are some of the projects that pushed to me the next level either in terms of rendering technique or thinking deeper how to interpret the story and deliver it as a cover

Minor Arcana #2 variant cover art. Client: Boom! Studios

Girl staring in distance while her face is partially covered by a bunch of tarot cards. Looking closer you realize that the girl's silhouette is formed by those cards.

Briar #8 variant cover. Client: Boom! Studios.

Skull and bones drawing blood into it. Purple flowers are scattered around, this is a scene of resurrection magic is being performed. The skull has metal helmet that indicates this is one of the characters mentioned in the story.

Cover art for "Good Night, Sleep Tight". Client: Coffee House Press

An android buried in the roots and cables. The cables and roots are entangled and covering the android as if it's trapped in a net of technology and organic matters. The spot light and the empty gaze of the android emphasizes the quietness in the scene.

Cover art for "The Teeth of Dawn". Client: Tor

Two mysterious 4 armed marble statues with multiple wings holding arrow and hourglass.

An old piece but I still really like it.
#HSR #HonkaiStarRail #Serval #Art

Serval, a character from Honkai Star Rail, laying over a graffiti tagged, wire-strewn floor holding a steampunk-esque electrified guitar. She looks up towards the camera with a smile reminiscent of Avril Lavigne in the "Smile" music video; drawing a parallel between the two as the gacha game character seems to draw visual inspiration from the pop-punk musician.
