This. It's amazing how the struggle to build the perfect project changes both you and thing you create. The first draft is always the worst, and many of your favorite movie moments happened because of accidents and compromises. The type of person to use this just doesn't know what art is.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."

Happy #portfolioday for all who celebrate!

I'm a digital generalist who does 2D and 3D illustration and animation, usually on scientific topics. Often times, it turns out looking like dinosaurs, though. :)

Happy #portfolioday ! I'm Megi, an artist who draws mostly OC content and sometimes fanart for fun ~

An illustration of my original character, Bhargavi. She is standing in the middle of a pond with a brown wall and two pillars behind, with some greenery around. She has brown skin and long red hair with glowing orange/golden ends. She is wearing a golden armour around her neck and golden vambraces on each arm. She is wearing a sleeveless red top that reveals her smotach and long red pants. She is looking down and has one foot out of the water, while holding on to some of the longer shinier layers of her pants that have appeared to be drenched as they’ve soaked up too much water. There is a strong golden light shining down on her from above.

A fanart illustration of Clair Obscur. There is a giant frame with Verso looking at and reaching out to Alicia from his side, while Alicia, is looking at him and reaching to Verso, standing outside of the frame. With sunlight shining down only on Alicia and a bit on Verso. The top half of Alicia, where the sunlight is shining down on her, depicts her with white hair, while in the shadows, her hair is drawn closer to red. Red and white petals surround the scene.

A portrait illustration of my original character, Megaera, showcases her distinctive features. She has brown skin, striking amber eyes, and white hair with black highlights. Her ears are slightly pointed, and she bears a scar on her right nose, jaw, and neck. The illustration presents two versions: one with her hair flowing down past her shoulders and the other with her hair neatly tied up in a high ponytail. The background is just a plain white with a small chibi of her winking in the bottom right corner.

An illustration of my original character, Aleron. He is an elf with long dark blue hair with glowing cyan ends tied up in a high ponytail. He has fair skin, green (left) and blue (right) eyes and is wearing a blue long-sleeved robe with silver armour and vambraces. He is looking down at the viewer with a solemn expression and is holding a large silver shield in this left hand. Golden sunlight is shining down on this face and behind him are large metal spikes indicating he's in a battlefield.

Also, is it really "useless" activism if an apartheid government thinks it's worth illegally imprisoning and abusing you over it?

I dunno. I'm just guessing as to what their actual reasons are, not endorsing their decision.

It could just be where their bigger following is. If you came to Bsky for the lack of restrictions and just weren't reaching as big of an audience as Insta, then it might just not be worth maintaining the one worse reach when the rules homogenize.

I also know a lot of people have problems with Patreon, so I'm open to any discussions on what donation services work better.

There really aren't that many places for artists to go online, are there?

I don't know if you're specifically looking for furry artists, but I figured it would be worth a shot.
My animation work has gotten popular lately, and I'd like some help to keep it going. $1/mo gets you BTS footage and 4k renders, while $5 gets you a credit listing!

Maybe "stop accusing people as pedophiles"? It still feels like a lot to accidentally drop.
