The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

Rogue Trooper is a fantastic blast of guns and guts and giggles. The horror of war, the camaraderie of a bunch of brothers on a mission, with a massive beating heart of love for the character of RT and the world of @2000ad.bsky.social 👏👏👏 @manmademoon.bsky.social

Fantastic evening at the Prince Charles Cinema watching @manmademoon.bsky.social 's brilliant adaptation of Rogue Trooper. It is funny, exciting, thrilling and a rip roaring adventure. Go see it when it gets a cinema release! Great to hear there's a script ready to go for his next project 🤞🏻

The basic fundamentals of drawing, painting and working through your ideas is to discover what works for that exact character, story and aesthetic. These preliminary sketches helped gestate my minds eye of the final outcome. Don’t let AI destroy your voyage and just skip to slop.
This was a bit of fan art I made after working on the independent feature #RogueTrooper. Hailing from the UK I've been an avid reader of the #2000ad comic for some time. The film is currently doing the festival circuit so please do go and check it out if you can. #illustration #animatedfilm

What you need to understand is nothing we built was “off the shelf.” Store-bought environmental assets for stop-motion features do not exist. We were given concept art and told “make it look like this.” Everything you see here, down to the dirt and moss, was meticulously designed and crafted.
NEW WILDWOOD TRAILER JUST DROPPED!!! I was in the department that built the wild-wood itself. Come see all our hard work! youtu.be/bJQGtSeLPII?...

"Rogue Trooper" see it for the landscapes alone - beautiful, poisoned, with cloudscapes to die for. One part war movie, two parts Monty Python, featuring the silliest-yet-deadly villain in movie history. You have to admire the courage put into this. #tiff #midnightmadness / 11
Great news for Monkey Quest, I had an immense experience helping out with art direction and matte painting. deadline.com/2026/09/lion...

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:
