Hi!
I am alive. I've been working more than ever this year and I've been through my own share of mental health issues. I am feeling much better, and I hope I can at least maintain those feelings.
How about you?
Have a happy end of the julian year, everyone!
screenshot of a Tumblr post from user ecofear yelling "what is HAPPENING" in response to a screenshot of a quotetweet from user @Ovichknox reading "this is so scary to me. i recommended a book to a friend recently and she came back to me a day later saying it was really good and i asked if she finished it already and she said "yeah i got chatgpt to summarise each chapter into 3 paragraphs to it was easy to read" which is replying to a tweet from @alz_zyd reading "Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt l got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred…" Followed by a a reblog from tumblr use moonglade-poetess reading "Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree: Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAl shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.
So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other.
Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

Donatello, The Brain
AD Stephanie Cheung
This was actually the last of the 3 pieces I painted for the TMNT set for which I was VERY happy to contribute to
Donny wasn't one of my favs until now - his single-minded dedication to toiling away in a cluttered space hit pretty close to home

"Raphael, Tag Team Tough"

One of those rare occasions you'll see me doing Universe Beyond.
I probably wouldn’t be an artist if it weren’t for TMNT, so I owed it to my younger self <3

When you are fighting a sinus infection and have to finish a rush commission
They didn’t give me that fancy promo image, but I am going to be at Magic Con Las Vegas 2025, all three days. Would love to see you and if my brain isn’t mush I might be able to speak to you!
Parodie du mème de la série "Invincible". En arrière-plan on voit un data center engloutir de grandes quantités de carburant et d'eau, envoyant des colonnes de fumée dans l'atmosphère. Au premier plan, Miyazaki prononce la phrase du mème original: "Look what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power", tandis que Boulet répond un peu tristement: "I still wish they'd fuck off".
Yay! #Daggerheart is out and I was lucky to make these two illustrations for them!
They're called Force of Nature and Stealth Expertise.

I just finished a big pattern that's a companion to my Indanthrone piece, called "Night Blooming".
While I work out where it'll fit in my first pattern collection, please enjoy it as a phone wallpaper background. You can buy it and support me and my extravagant habits (eating) below. 💜💙

St. George and the Dragon
30" x 20" Oil on Panel
collection of Cat Conrad
Program cover art from DragonCon 2010 and a demo on oil painting for the IMC.
Had the honor of Lucas Museum of Narrative Art trying to purchase this when it appeared in the 'Enchanted' exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum.
A Fungril leaps out of a tower against a red and yellow sunset. Glass shards shattering around her.

So you know how you can overlay music on insta posts? This character's ancestry is called a "Fungril" and I chose "Girls just want to have fun" by Cyndi Lauper. *Waggles eyebrows*
#daggerheart #darringtonpress #fungril
This one is of my favourites!! The colors, the values, that face render!!!
A humanoid fungril whispers into a horrified elven lady's ear as she lays in bed. Colour theme is red and black. Lilies and a red back spider in the foreground.

tw: horror?
On a success spell cast roll you can ask the GM:
Where are they?
What are they doing?
What are they afraid of?
What do they cherish most in the world?

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.
Time to post it again.
Headline - Nick Clegg: Artists’ demands over copyright are unworkable Strap - The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry
“Then die”
I love this one so much for how well you introduced the happy play mood and the masterful color balance. And the rendering, and the magic!!!
I know I bring up this elephant in the room a lot, but it warrants saying again because it's rampant in the writing community now:
STOP USING AI GENERATED IMAGES TO PROMOTE YOUR WRITING!
If you can't be arsed to hire an illustrator or use stock photos/art, I don't trust anything you've written.
Card artwork for the game Daggerheart. A black man is advancing towards the viewer and inspiring a crowd behind him. He's wearing a silver and gold armor, and there is a golden halo above his head.
Reposting another artwork painted for #Daggerheart!

I was super excited to paint this ever since I read the assignment! It includes so many of my favourite things to draw 💖
Thank you! That’s the most important I had in mind during the sketching phase and I appreciate your observation!
😆 you have hall pass for all the jokes, Jen ❤️

I imagined a big moment mid game for this one. Spot all the Splendor symbols I could fit in ✨
