The image shows a comic panel with two characters in conversation. On the right, a shirtless man with green hair and tan skin looks irritated, a cigarette hanging from his mouth with smoke curling upward. His body is covered in scars, and he’s leaning toward the other person, saying, , “What?!” and “Got a problem with that?” On the left, a girl with light green hair, glasses, and a lilac top rests her chin on her hand, staring at him with a tired, unimpressed expression.

Angel Shark 09
Something ancient weeps as it guides new spirits to their next journey.
#Sharktober #Sharktober2025 #sharks

A golden crying megalodon with wings and a halo floats upward in the ocean. Tasked to guide the souls of fallen sharks, each one meeting an end to the results of over fishing and the finning practice. The sharks bear star light scars in the ways they were injured.

… make it make sense?
So, you can make pornography.
But only with the help of a tool that regurgitates stuff that already exists?!

Have you asked for CONSENT to use all that training data? :>

“I still can’t believe how unhinged the last update was. Not only the nudity but the motions, boobs bounces more realistically, it’s incredible.”

Elon Musk's xAI seems to have relaxed filters on Grok's video generation, allowing users to create and share explicit AI pornography.

There’s one thing that Derek and Andy have in common: sleep deprivation. 💀

The image shows a colored comic panel featuring a shirtless man with bright green hair and tanned skin. He has a calm, distant expression as he smokes a cigarette, with a thin trail of smoke rising upward. The background fades from yellow to blue, giving the scene a moody, atmospheric tone.

OMG, YES!!! Makes me feel so incredibly stupid. T-T The human body is mysterious!

I'm always so impressed with artists that draw a few loose, sloppy bumps and it just.... looks right. HOW? XDDD That must be true talent!

Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to overload Clip Studio Paint with materials until it.... simply stops working? 😂 *drops a bunch of new watercolor textures into these folders*

Strange drawing fact about me: I LOVE drawing ...... eyelids.
Because I've got hooded eyes, so mine are barely visible.

I'm such a sucker for BIG eyelids!!! Love them!

And that dogma is ONE MILLION TIMES more dangerous than a goofy, edgy fucked-up story made to entertain for a few hours? :,,D

That idea is so unbelievably stupid, I want to scream.
And NOBODY talks about how we treat REAL LIFE PEOPLE??? :,) What is that buffoonery?! Accusing completely normal, harmless people to be monsters, but in a way that lacks

just entertainment. An exciting construct someone made up to bring some thrill into our boring lives! :D Not more than a fairy tale.
And everybody is clever enough to decide for themselves what to consume and what not. Honestly I know not one single person in this world in my proximity who has EVER

And yeah... maybe there are actually people who get influenced by stories like these. Who can't read it because it makes them feel uncomfortable. That's perfectly fine! Just don'T read it then?!
But I personally separate fiction from reality SO strongly... it honestly affects me 0,0%. XD To me it's

MAUS! @back to work! ✍️☕️ @themaus.bsky.social · 1d

plain fucked-up just for entertainment. XD I wouldn't do that myself, because it doesn't fulfill me. BUT I love to read some crazy ass shit for entertainment! As long as it's well made and has a good plot... why not? VuV

Thing is: Some people REALLY think that stuff like that rubs off on yourself.

MAUS! @back to work! ✍️☕️ @themaus.bsky.social · 1d

I think it'll come back. First, in the form of rebellious edgy, over the top brutal stuff. And after that it'll go back to normal again.

I already see certain people talking about this insanity of conflicting fiction with reality. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with writing a story that's

Burning “unsightly” artists on a stake. Just 10 - 15 years ago it was perfectly possible to dive into darker themes without being in constant fear.
Miss these times. ;.; hope they come back!

Aaah, sorry! I forgot not everyone knows! Black & blue is basically a part of my series personal paradise. And in one volume (assassin angel) I drew about Andy’s private life and how he treats women. 🙈 it was pretty rough. Also a bit controversial back then, but nobody really followed the idea of

MAUS! @back to work! ✍️☕️ @themaus.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sorry, but Andy is a violent being and he has issues. Wouldn’t it be hella interesting what’s necessary to bring that temper under control (kinda! XD). Because Elin did. But of course it was not easy at all. 💀

I’m still dreaming about drawing down the development of their kinda toxic, kinda cute relationship. XD but in this day and age I’m genuinely scared to show the toxic parts. 🙈
Reading assassin angel makes me feel like: omg, we could draw stuff like that? Without getting torn apart online?! 💀
