With rich colors and calligraphic brushstrokes, Thomas Moran dissolves the clouds, architecture, and reflections of Venice into a tapestry of swirls and scribbles.

Counterpoint to people saying that they need AI to be able to create art.

Screenshot of the linked Bluesky post showing an artist sharing a simple stick figure comic.

The artist says in their post, with quotes inserted:

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Alt text from the original post:

Three panel comic:

1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men:
Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing

2nd panel:
stick man 2: but if that’s true

3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are)
Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes? — Screenshot of the linked Bluesky post showing an artist sharing a simple stick figure comic.

Anyone who has been following me for a while will have noticed that there was a phase where I didn't feel like doing anything with art anymore because of all the AI crap that takes away the fun.

Well, that phase was relatively short, and the reason for that is @pixel, who talked to me about it very intensively and convinced me to continue making art!

End of story, I'm into it again and publishing a lot.

As a small thank you to @pixel, I made a little fan art of pixeldesus character Poly (but there's more to come soon ;D).

🎨 https://revenge.day/art/poly-pixeldesu-fanart

Fun fact about this image: This is text art (XBIN/ANSI), and the entire artwork can theoretically be executed via a terminal.

llustration of an anime-style character with short blue hair and glasses. The character is winking with a wide smile and showing a peace sign with their right hand. They are wearing a black strap top underneath a blue off-the-shoulder top. The background is a gradient of purple shades

And now the most important thing:

If you're an Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or similar program user, what are the most important features that even the most basic app needs for you to consider trying it?

Q: Do you have any experience in creating something similar?

I have created a very barebones vector graphics editor in the past. While I probably will not use almost any of it's cod,e it proved to me that this is possible and it also showed me what not to do and how to do everything better.

Death in Front of the Tavern.
Alfred Rethel, from "Alfred Rethel; 16 Zeichnungen und Entwürfe" by Walther Friedrich, Mainz: 1907 #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/death-tavern/

Death stands at the entrance of a tavern. Two glasses, reminiscent of a mountebank’s cups‑and‑balls trick, sit on the table before him as he addresses a captivated audience into believing that a crown and a tobacco pipe are of equal weight. An old woman with a walking stick is the only one who seems unimpressed, walking away from the scene with a small child.
The hat worn by Death is a Hecker hat, in reference to the 1848 Hecker uprising, an attempt to overthrow the monarchy. — Death stands at the entrance of a tavern.

Hello artists of fediverse!

It's probably not a wild thing to say that we all hate Adobe and similar giant companies that make art software that:
1. Doesn't work on linux,
2. Could probably disappear tomorrow without any warning, taking all our projects with it and
3. Requires expensive subscriptions

I want to try and combat that by creating an alternative open source suite of tools!

I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.

I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.

Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.

This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.
