Doing a guide for the Discord mess- (As I did on Tumblr!) Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like the image below. Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

How did illustrator Brandi York create the beautiful art nouveau pieces for our new #CandelaObscura specialties? Learn about her process and watch a timelapse of her work! 🎨 @brandiyorkart.bsky.social

Yesterday I had someone ask about finding good artists (who don't use AI) to design book covers. Since I make my own, I didn't have a good answer. So... Cover artists: Post below to help authors find you. Authors: Have a great cover artist? Shout them out! Everyone else: repost and boost.

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

My first finished personal piece since last May. Burnout sucks, but I am hopeful to be finally coming out of it. It's been a long year of struggling to make art. But Wicked definitely lit a bit of a fire in me, and I hope to add Glinda and Fiyero before long.

We didn't do the Spiderman meme but... Two Moms! @brandiyorkart.bsky.social and myself as Ameliance at FanFest 2023! Capelet 💎: @dangerousladies.bsky.social

Last but not least, we have "Adversarial Archetypes" by Carlos Cisco @carloscisco.bsky.social, illustrated by Brandi York @brandiyorkart.bsky.social! The Tycoon, Street Tough, & Unfettered specialties reimagine oft-villaneous archetypes for new heroic—or antiheroic—investigators of Candela Obscura.

Horizons 2 is NOW AVAILABLE! Packed with spells, encounters, villains, and traps for your #dnd and #ttrpg games, this issue also features new specialties for #CandelaObscura characters. This spectacular cover comes from Kent Davis (@idrawbagman.bsky.social). 🏝️ 👉 https://buff.ly/3E1eKeT

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable. AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text. Across all mediums, fuck AI.

Ahoy! The scammers are here! I woke up to this old chestnut, and since Bluesky is pretty new, I thought it might be helpful to show y'all how this one works. A scammer will reach out for work, and it'll be really vague - a piece of his kid, or suddenly four, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care.

This gift giving guide from @sevenishmagpies.com made me laugh. You should look at it and then buy something. outsidercomics.com/outsider-com...

A gentle breeze rocks the house of cards.

It is genuinely fascinating that corporate media has come down with a hammer on pirates, who are NOT profiting off of stealing IP (and, arguably, aren't usually costing actual sales) but seem hesitant to come down hard on silicon valley AI grifters, who ARE profiting off of stolen IP.

HEY MAGFEST ATTENDEES! I’m giving a talk and a workshop! Blind Accessibility in FFXIV will be 2pm on Saturday Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) Saturday at 10am. $5 materials fee. Come learn about accessibility and/or Japanese brush art!

I truly adore watching people talk about their favourite things. I think you glow so much brighter when you’re lit up with passion. That kind of warmth is so contagious. Even if I know nothing about the subject, I love it now because YOU love it.

Hey neighbors, remember this weekend: - Shop local & small where you can. - Don't feel bad if you can't buy, you gotta take care of yourself. - Be extra nice to service folks. - Leaving reviews & boosting posts are free & very important. - Drink water, have a snack, & take your meds.

This is probably one of my favorite Critical Role pieces I've ever done. Dorian's color palette was a choice and definitely a challenge to work with opposite colors. I like to jokingly refer to this as my master class in color theory. #artnouveau #digitalart #criticalroleart

It's been a year now since finishing this project and getting the actual decks in hand. It's still sometimes surreal to think about completing and producing a project of this size.

A rather damp morning but that did not stop Ginger. Nothing stops this dog.
