[2019] mosquito / masked / lucid dreaming / teeth
#inktober #goretober
Black, red, and grey ink drawing. The bust of an individual who's head has fused with the parts of mosquito, its mouthparts emerging from a fanged mouth ripe with blood. A swollen red abdomen protrudes from the back of the head, adorned with segmented legs. A pair of antenna emerge from the eyes. Black, red, and grey ink drawing. A bust of a person holding a mask with a sealed mouth and closed eyes in their hands partially in front of their face, concealing the muscular tissue underneath where their skin should be. Black, red, and grey ink drawing. A set of three pairs of eyes in different phases of opening/shutting, melting into the negative of space cupped by a pair of hands. The topmost set of eyes are erupting into a mass of smaller eyeballs, wide and awake in a red frenzy. Black, red, and grey ink drawing. A multi-eyed amalgamation of wolf jaws, wide open to expose their teeth and red dripping tongues.

Hey btw, ever get annoyed with zbrush's zmodeler auto-welding random parts of your mesh randomly?
Do these two things:
1- Tool->Geometry->Size->Ensure xyz size is larger than 1.0
2- Preferences->Geometry->ZModeler Welding Tolerance-> 1
Happy little meshes, happy little wires 🥰

My thoughts on the gen ai normalization I've been seeing recently:
I'm seeing this from different people: "We must experiment with these tools to understand them and our place in the industry in the future." I hear coming from the Trojan horse. They weren't built with the idea of keeping artists on these projects, they were built as replacements and to save on the "bottom line". Gen ai and llms are used currently as replacements, and they're just going to get better. No experimenting needed dudes, they are designed so that a 2 year old can use them, if you know how to photobash youll be able to learn this workflow in 30 minutes if you so desperately needed to. Refusing to use them is standing in solidarity with the thousands affected and more so stolen from. Using them is crossing an active picket line and breathing life into a future where you no longer create art for media, you assist ai until the corporate machine no longer needs you to assist it. This issue is so much larger than the arts. We were just the canaries in the coal mine. We have the ability to stand firm on this and create the industry and world we wish to live in, not one we are forced to by people with interests directly harming our existence. I owe too much of my own life to art and what it has brought me in my darkest times than to capitulate.

more rook stuff
Ah yes, the tall, dark, sharp victorian man, with killer cheekbones, holding his adopted daughter. His shadow-self encroached ominously in an embrace, to hold? or devour? all we know is his lover doesn't complain in the bedroom~ (also was the SDCC exclusive bookplate with the Parliament of Rooks bundles)

It's insidious how gen ai has weaved Its way into science coms... tons of social pages as content mills taking existing photos of rare species and running them through gen ai video creators to get people to go "wow!" and nothing more. Or just straight up making up a species and claiming it's real.

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist
