If you're looking to expand the marks you're making, I have brush packs full of the brushes I use to make the vast majority of my art (for PS5 and up) 😀

It might be the Chaos God icons, but that's really a set of 4. For any one single piece, somewhat surprisingly to me it's this portrait of a Macharian Vigilite from 40k: Imperium Maledictum -

Wow, dude 😆
You're embarrassing yourself mightily with this one.
Be a shame to miss a change to push my art, though (almost all of which has been printed in books that have been shipped around the world, so, y'know, totally not a physical thing):

Very sad to hear of the passing of illustrator Russ Nicholson. Rest in peace, sir.
If you're not familiar, it's very much worthwhile taking a look through his work and appreciating the skills on display.

Good grief. Paying to be spoon-fed access to stolen art mashups.
And... among all the other more immediate arguments, there's something so hollow about not taking the journey of learning, discovering, growing, and finding your own creative voice.

Radioactively bad take.
2003, age 17, after a *year* of solid study, vs 2021 (although printed in 2022), not stopping drawing/painting/learning since 2002.

Unless... I'm not an artist. Maybe!

AI is theft, been saying it from the beginning.
Midjourney developers caught discussing laundering, and creating a database of Artists (who have been dehumanized to styles) to train Midjourney off of. This has been submitted into evidence for the lawsuit. Prompt engineers, your “skills” are not yours

Looks like footage with a Photoshop filter run on it, with weird bad flicky light/shadows.
Also, AI art is theft.

Wild. I've really been quite shocked over the last few months to discover a kind of person who really, truly hates 'artistic types'. Like... what prestige is this? We mostly do long hours for low pay, and often struggle to get by.
What is making this type of person so upset?!
