CLOSED, AND THE BILL HAS BEEN PAID.

Thank you all so, so much for your help. Now, if you'll excuse me... I have an insane queue to chip away at. ^^;

Full disclosure, this will take me quite a while to work through. You can check out my progress on Trello!

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

New TF/WG story has been uploaded to FA!

A rather anxious young man ends up taking the plunge to be turned into a wererat, and luckily for him, the method to be transformed is just plain euphoric...

For @ben300.bsky.social, who also did the artwork used here!

I'm the worst at actually posting stuff ;-;

I have a few more stories totally finished and ready to post, they just keep slipping my mind! Not to mention all the art, too.

I thought I'd be just fine, going out into the woods alone at night... Until I was jumped by a bear. Luckily for me, I only got a little nip. Unluckily, that was enough to trigger an incredible change... Now, this bear's craving lots of honey! 🐻

Two competing brands of helium needed some promotional material, and me and @zaelgolin.bsky.social happened to fit their branding perfectly.

But now we're both filled beyond capacity, creaking with helium strrreeeetching our hides to their limits for all to see!

Sometimes your partner gets a little too invested in a videogame and measures need to be taken to take his mind off the stress of it all. Don't worry, he will be fine!

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Did a simple animation today. Also had a dream last night that inspired this. I really want to get into animation again, but ADHD has just been in control of me as of late. Hope I can do more with this eventually. #blueberryinflation #Veemon

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.

i think it's fine that my concept art friends don't have jobs anymore because they're first on the chopping block for layoffs and executives are happy to offload that shit to midjourney and pinterest!!! the game's really fun though so it's fine!!!!

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left

but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!
