IMMORTALITY BELONGS TO THE DEAD ◯

painted doggie!

I meant to say lovely* but I'm glad you could understand XD Here's hoping it'll be something you're ultimately happy with after some tweaking!

AI will never replace human creativity. AI has no intention nor the capability of human passion, desire, stories and emotional depth that is carried through creations in any shape or form. If you use AI to create “art” genuinely go suck a fat cock :)

Yeah, I think that’s the pic this trip I’m most excited to get off the camera and actually work with

Ooooh that would make a locely framed print

What monitor did you get? I've been meaning to look into an UW one too for Blender/Art purposes

Blocking/muting those accounts have helped curate my feed better. If I want politics (and depression) I'll read the news lol Bsky is my designated "safespace" to see awesome art (like yours) and chat with other nerdy and neurodivergent folks c:

There are a lot of armchair activists on this site. At this point whenever I see an account with 'proud democrat/liberal' in their profile is 50/50 a bot or person. Also not everyone here is from or affected by US politics and alot of Americans forget that.

These vocals are going in this remix (but you don't get to hear em yet!) Made lots of progress tonight.

They addressed it at the very least but we have yet to see where they'll go with it. Whereas LindenLabs suspends accounts if users tell others to avoid a certain brand on SecondLife if they use AI. Philip Rosedale is also on the board for Midjourney (or is an investor). So my expectations are low.

This is partly why I'm looking into other platforms (Vrchat/Resonite) or just going back to doing art commissions atp.

As someone who likes to make random species at times - I just like to keep things open to avoid any aformentioned headaches/issues & overall encourage creativity.

I've seen a lot of cool concepts inevitably lose any kind of audience if the species is closed, while on the other end of the spectrum you may have a partially open species with some special/closed traits that people will use anyway. It seems like a headache to deal with if the species gets popular.

Artists are allowed to make closed species and have strict rules around them. After all what an artist creates belongs to them first and foremost. Even if I'm not a fan of closed species, I will respect the creator's wishes, and I implore you to always do the same.

I am pro open species. Always. Forever. No gatekeeping. No exclusitivity club mentality. No worrying about canon lore, traits, or this-and-that. Play with designs. Mutate it. Elevate it. Give credit where credit is due, and most of all - create for the sake of having fun!
