Hello there, random user scrolling down the worst social media app ever. Can you spare a commission in these trying times? I do sketches, inked art or full color illustrations, mainly dark fantasy. Can do OCs or fanart, comic covers, short comics and character design. Hit me up!

@Mr_Husky1 This reads AI as hell.

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

“We’ll be putting this into our private collection.” The vampiric-devil wife states as she poses for the camera. A little on the risky side, but you’re not complaining. Artist: @imfamorte #Fantasy #OC #Originalcharacter #Vampire #Waifu

I just wish all AI api to turn out unprofittable that the big tech have to shut them down and 99% of massed produced slops disappear. Sora’s news is such a sweet news to hear.

@soraofficialapp Get bent, idiots.

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

Oi. Commission me already, damn it.

@kofi_button My only real struggle is with marketing and sales.

If you could overcome one creative struggle, what would it be and why??

“I think this dress is okay. Do you like it?” One thing about her that’s always been constant is her appreciation for different attires. That and also power, but that’s for another time. The vampiric-devil gf has her hobbies like everyone else. Artist: @Nef_Arius #Fantasy #OC #Originalcharacter #Vampire #Waifu

Ngl the marketing of AI has to be studied. It will replace you. Its inevitable. You'll rent compute from us. You'll own nothing and be happy. "Why is everyone so mad" Like I don't even hate AI but its fascinating to see CEOs punch themselves in the dick for sport.

What's with this commission drought these past couple of months?

“You’re not from around here, are you?” You don’t know much about her, but you like what you see. Little did you know that you two will eventually become married because she likes what she sees too. P.S. This is how you meet your vampiric-devil wife. Artist: @Nef_Arius #OC #Originalcharacter #Vampire #Fantasy #Waifu

@absoltrol @CrimsonDesert_ Galileo didn't get arrested for advancing science, he did so for disrespecting the Pope (Simplicio in his writings), going back on his word (he agreed to a Church directive and violated it), and brazenly challenging the Church's authority (at the time the patrons of science).

@CrimsonDesert_ people who get mad at AI use is same people who arrested Galileo

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

i forget how funny endo can be sometimes their names ARE KILLING MEEEE😭😭😭NEEDA JOBSOON???😭😭😭😭😭

@BattyGirlNyx If it were up to me, I'd ship every single pedo out to this guy ⬇️

Hang the pedophile!

ZZZ keeps filtering out tourists, and I love it for it, and I love Promeia too.

I feel pride in creating this goddess of Death for project Taiga. Now that the protagonist family is as good as done. I could go back to editing and promoting JW. #writingcommunity #charactersheet @drhino419 @RyuNovels @Nef_Arius @KaiserCrimson_1 @ZRDR_DELRIO

“How do I look?” You know she couldn’t help but dress to be that character that raids tombs for treasure. She’s absolutely rocking that cosplay and her guns are real. Artist: @Nef_Arius #OC #Originalcharacter #Indie #Fantasy #Tombraider

Some cool WIPs by artists mentioned previously in thread.

@USA37107692 If anybody bothers you, it takes two clicks to block them. Be block-happy! My own (online) life changed for the better when I discovered this simple trick.

Please stop harassing me 🙏 If this continues, I will stop accepting character requests.😢

@drhino419 I'm hesitant to slap the label of "woke" on anything just because it has some sort of progressive stuff going on. Rather, to me, woke is when the author lectures and berates the audience, directly or indirectly. A very specific type of preachy storytelling.

A lot of video games that were “woke” in the 2000s are a heck of a lot better than the lame games that release today. They were better optimized too with limited tech.

The Angel of Death pissed off Chuck Norris, so Chuck Norris decided to depart from this mortal realm to teach him a lesson. RIA (Rest in Action), King.
