I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

If a cult is looking real bad, you'd want it ended before the adored founder passes, because once they do, they are legend and shit will go on forever

In stead of sending a link to old threads every time someone uses the term "Dark Ages", I decided to put it all in an article.
Why most historians no longer use the biased misnomer “dark ages”.

Last night i was doing a little comic about a hero and a "demon lord" and i wasn't sure how the Demon Lord should look so I did some redraws of Dragon Quest villains as inspiration. Thought i might learn if i try to copy Toriyama's posing for the characters too

people can issue consent. things cannot.
drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things.
they are property. they are NOT real people.
requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems
how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right
