Hi #portfolioday!
I love character design and weird little guys
Ya'll just wait š
wild to be living in a world with live-streamed state executions and legal daylight kidnappings, but every time you turn around some loser is saying, hey man, what if art were completely frictionless? what if we killed even the possibility of human connection??

getting an order in juuuust under the wire for a new sketchbook for @lightboxexpo.com! Volume 2 of WIP, a monument to messy, painful, extremely human process:
I hate that this is the reality that's been forced on us but I agree. There are quite a few pros-turned-sloperators working & thriving out there. They usually aren't forthcoming with their audience, agents or clients. Pointing to someone's prolific pre-AI history isn't the be all & end all proof.
Also the most recent ai post he made was in May of 2026, so.
2023 was *identical* to 2026 in terms of ai discourse among artists
Ok, you feel your way and Iām going to continue to feel mine. I donāt think Iām being crazy or irresponsible and i suspect weāre just going to disagree indefinitely
I wasnāt born yesterday, and I donāt think your hysterical tone is well placed on this
You decide if you think this person is trustworthy on the topic of ai š¤·āāļø
you can all decide if you think this person has been hand drawing every background or not
Idk, their lead BG guy is on IG posting āai experimentsā so Iām not convinced
I donāt think anything bad happened there, she responded with tact and stands on decades of solid evidence. I donāt see that as āa situationā we have to avoid repeating
Iād rather we respond habitually & without ire to ai allegations, than try to scold people with suspicions. Youāre right to be suspicious- some veterans & once-trusted studios are trying to sneak trash in. Itās heartbreaking that itās happening but Iām *thrilled* weāre not normalizing it
*and Individual artists Iām not above being accused, no studio I work for is, and fwiw since her name came up Loish isnāt either, we can easily rebut anything people might suspect with hours and in some cases decades of proof
Show me process, name a human artist, give me a chain of trusted vetting from reliable sources, speak up and say you hate slop- itās not hard
I reserve the right to cast aspersions, I think the world as it stands requires studios (individual artists) to do a little more legwork to prove authorship and speak out against ai, and thatās a net good. Wanting the passive experience of assumed trust back is wishful
Look, Iāve deleted the post- but Iām not inclined to trust a hopeful sounding steam description over my instincts and I donāt advise you to do so either š¤·āāļø
