YESSS I FINALLY FOUND ONE IRL! LIFER BUG! of course it was when my macro lens was a hike back through the jungle but YESSS #Invertebrates
I've finished an absolute delight of a bug illustration! Green Tortoise Beetle, which is now a species I'll be looking for as I'm yet to see one in person and I've been missing out! Big thanks to @franzanth.bsky.social and his incredible array of bug photos. 🎨🐡 #invertebrate #beetle

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Ok yeah since multiple people asked, I'm personally fine. But no, Indonesia as a whole is not fine. We haven't been fine for a while. I'm actually surprised this didn't make international news earlier.

Seeing a lot of posts about NextFest being full of AI slop and I want go shout out my partner's NOT AI Visual Novel, he's worked on for 3 years. Transman lead character, full of handcrafted horror and erotica about the pain and pleasure of art and identity. store.steampowered.com/app/3035800/...

We've used much more of such props to animate some of scenes in these games (including a small boat model for one of the cutscenes in Zid Journey!), unforunately some of these were already lost to time... Ah well, enjoy some more line tests from Zniw Adventure in the meantime!
✨️Reference vs Art✨️ While we've used a lot of references to keep our dinosaurs as cartoony-realistic as possible, two mostly stick out: @twarda.bsky.social making clay models of Popoeilo the Azhdarchid and intro Lambeosaurus for the more tricky shots of the animated cutscenes in Zniw Adventure!

Speaking of the ocean, here's a piece I did earlier this year for @seaunseenzine.bsky.social !! A blue marlin leading the hunt. Did you know that marlins can change the vibrancy and pattern of their stripes to indicate who is leading an attack? [ #art #seaunseen #ocean ]
