Hey #Portfolioday! I'm Marco González, freelance artist and art instructor working on TCG, TTRPG, videogames and book publishing, among others. I love creating worlds and bringing fantasy to life.

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar. A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene. The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around. A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B

The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

The Inverted Pyramid by JangusART
A system agnostic TTRPG supplement heavily inspired by Mörk Borg, with a dash of insanity and The Cube movie series.

They've published a book made with AIslop about last year's major floods (DANA) in my town, where a lot of houses, vehicles and lives were lost. Laughing at the victims and wanting to make money in such a despicable way from a tragedy.

They can go fuck themselves.

QRP with your wings art!
A massive creature with multiple reddish, fleshy and bony limbs, flies above a crowd cheering on it. Its face is human-like, and small in comparison. Above its head sits a halo emitting several rays from its centre. Its wings are formed by an indefinite number of thin limbs. Most people in the crowd below are raising their arms in adoration, and some of them are missing parts of their body. The sky is bright orange with greenish, ominous clouds.

Throwback to one of the pieces I got to paint for Blood & Doom. I really enjoyed painting the forest itself, probably even more than the characters (which were fun, too ofc)
We see a party of five adventurers: a blond-haired knight in plate armour, a druid in leather and fur, a long-haired barbarian in light clothes, a cleric in a layered outfit, and a ranger in a red hood and tight clothing. The party is in a thick forest with yellow light passing through the canopy. They're using a fallen tree trunk as a bridge to cross over a ravine. The cleric has just fallen from the tree, and the barbarian, whose battle axe is now stuck in the trunk, has grasped his hand just in time. Both the druid and the ranger run to help, while the knight is still trying to hop onto the trunk.

When all is said and done, AI will likely be both the biggest con and the biggest waste of money in the history of this world.

OpenAI is now at $1.8T in commitments to various AI infrastructure providers over the next few years. HSBC updated its model with some generous numbers on projected revenue from subscriptions. enterprise and ads but still sees a shortfall of over $200B by 2030.

And this is the bull case for OpenAI.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
