Pending the coming changes on November the 15th 2024 which allow AI training on all user content, I've deleted all my artwork and posts from Twitter. You can find my art on my website - and get my RSS feed/Newsletter/Contact info/other socmed there too.

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively. We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us. They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law. thetimes.com/uk/technology-…

@JohnMeuser The knowledge has been lodged in your head until this moment when I knocked it free. You're welcome.

@Polyducks I read all of Animorphs and totally didn't remember that until you just mentioned it now.

The screen is designed to bring you back to it. The book can't help but be put down. Have you seen how heavy they are? This is a feature not a bug.

@JohnMeuser 😊Thanks John, you're pretty great yourself with your piano playing for the masses.

@Polyducks You really have made the world so much better for me and I see you doing the same with so many other people. It's easy for me to tell people how great you are, especially when they can go to your website and see your skills for themselves!

The world is better with @Polyducks in it.

@StoneStoryRPG Sometimes you just need to get the silly ones out first.

@Polyducks big fan of

Finally got around to painting a follow up to the Lego Counterspell.

The kickstarter is live now: kickstarter.com/projects/rexga…

I am so, so pleased to be able to tell everyone that 90% of the new trailer for StoneStory part 2 is made up of the in-game art I made. All of it is manual ASCII art.

@MewxProductions @MattLobster @Newgrounds Oh :(

@Polyducks @MattLobster @Newgrounds Adobe announced the end of support for Animate.

Flash Forward 2026 is live! We're inviting everyone to create new Flash games and interactive movies.

@MattLobster @Newgrounds Why?

@Newgrounds @Polyducks The timing couldn’t be better/worse.

Finally tried doing Blender Aseprite mixed media stuff. I don't know what I'm doing but this made me happy.

The bigman. A weapon of mass destruction. Made in blender. Comped in after effects. Music / Sound design in blender.

@perezangelito Could you mirror the movement of one side so it's symmetrical? I think that would work really well. Your mesh and animation and texturing has been so fire, you're on a roll.
