πŸ–ŒοΈ The Hidden Cost of AI-Generated Images πŸ–ŒοΈ

As AI technology continues to grow, so does its impact on artists and the creative community. Generative AI images might look impressive, but they often come at a cost to the human creators behind the art we love. From lack of consent in using artists' work for training data to driving down the value of authentic, hand-crafted art, AI is reshaping the creative landscape in ways that aren’t always fair to artists.

For many of us, art is more than just visuals β€” it’s our passion, our voice of expressing, and in many cases, it's our livelihood.

It's time to start questioning AI 'artists', who are essentially creating spam, and it's time to choose to support original creators instead.

Meta has to take responsibility for the activities taking place on their platform - enforce mandatory AI labelling, allow is to report content evading AI labelling, and allow us to filter AI content out of our feeds and suggestions.

Having open conversations about what this tech means for the future of creativity is so essential. The artistic process deserves protection, and artists deserve respect. πŸ’ͺ🎨

Thanks for reading - see my highlights for more info.

🎨 Meet the Merchant! 🎨

Here he is, a jolly medieval merchant brimming with character right in front of his bustling shop! πŸšοΈπŸ‚ Creating this piece was all about capturing the warmth and vibrancy of his world β€” from his expression to the charm of his weathered shop.

It was a fun challenge to bring both the merchant and his shop to life with a shared colour palette, tying the two pieces together. Here’s to stepping into new scenes and giving characters a world they can truly belong to!

Cheers!

πŸ”΅πŸ”΅ I'm a massive geek. πŸ”΅πŸ”΅

A long-standing passion of mine is Magic: The Gathering by

The way in which fantastical art is inextricably intertwined with such graceful game mechanics is honestly a wonder! One of the greatest games ever invented, and celebrates done of the greatest to ever pick up a brush (or stylus!).

A big thank you too, to tabletop store for rapidly uniting me with one of the wildest cards a lonely mono-blue player can ever hope to ruin people's fun with.....

🏰 Pushing Boundaries with New Horizons 🏰

Tackling something completely new has always felt daunting, especially when it comes to drawing structures and places! Buildings were uncharted territory, and I wasn’t quite sure where to begin. So, I decided to pick up an old sketch of a medieval merchant and not only bring him to life but explore where he might set up shop. What does his world even look like? After a couple of evenings of diving in, I’ve surfaced with a tale on a medieval merchant building! 🏚️✨

To tie it all together, I’m working with a shared colour palette between the merchant himself and his building. What do you all think?

Also, please enjoy some medieval Shakira, which gave me the giggles!

The Time: 2 evenings

The brush:

πŸ’€ Undead Unleashed πŸ’€

Dare you summon these chilling creatures to your next combat encounter? Presenting three artworks to be found in my upcoming Ultimate Undead Token Pack: a ghost, poltergeist, and shadow β€” perfect for Dungeon Masters and players to bring into their Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. πŸ‘»πŸ’€πŸ–€

Each creature comes with its own VTT token set, ready for Roll20, Foundry VTT, and more. Add some real terror to your next game session with these undead monsters. Who will your players face next? πŸ‘€

The ghost artwork was inspired by some amazing references from and β€” big thanks to both of you for the inspiration! I like to highlight accounts any time I use a reference, I believe inspiration plays a big role in art, and the muse should be celebrated accordingly! 🎨✨️
