♠️♥️Lazcht♣️♦️VGen Comms Open!

did a little visdev for the character pixel art a while ago. at least I did a little update
gosh it's gotten crazy at the end of July, gotta finish everything lmaooo

#gamedev #sketch #witch #mastoart

so I just noticed in IG, if you tap the button on upper right of your art, it'll show up AI description generated real-time (it was empty first and there are Meta AI animation going on before the text is there)

also I see more people who aren't using AI there are accused to use it, I expect both mainstream users and artists would become more confused and later we wouldn't be able to distinguish which ones are human made. anyway, those artists plead to be able to appeal to Meta so they can submit proofs of art creation.

but even if it's granted, at this point I just know they'll just feed them to data center so AI can learn to mimic process videos/ art sketches. just like how they blocked FB profile then asked us to submit selfie video. (my profile was blocked, I granted selfie vid, but I covered my head with towel and made weird faces in the process.)

I know anything I uploaded to IG potentially has been fed to data center, but at least they have the option not to include my stuff(?) idk if they're lying or be tricky about it.

I'm not a famous artist/person to begin with, so maybe the stake wouldn't be as high. but the more they push us to use AI shits the more I feel pessimistic about safe space to be an artist posting artworks. I already left xitter, now leaving meta is in the consideration. I'm sad if I have to leave a platform and "just find new friends on diff platform" is not so helping, even if new connection can be built, existing friends can't be replaced.

though there are still cara, tumblr, newgrounds, mastodon, bsky, pixiv... I have the longest and most connection in Meta platform.

idk just confused rn. maybe I'll just be a lurker for friends update there and post my shits somewhere else. I'm so disappointed but what to expect anyway. it's the "my expectations were low but holy shit" situation every single day.

I'd appreciate if you have suggestions or thoughts. thank you for reading.

whooops it's August!
gah it's almost time to print. one more month til #COCOMA5 and me and @spiralhalo@mastodon.art are still finishing our comic! 🥶🥶🥶

i know it's still bad to be unprepared, but you know what, if we didn't submit our comic to any cons, we wouldn't start to work on it (we both most likely has AuDHD), and we still have to take commissions to survive. and making personal indie comics in my area AFAIK, currently is unreliable for that.

i know a local comic artist who makes big profit selling BL doujin/originals though, but I never know any fantasy comic author making that kind of success. and, based on my experiences selling merch in artist alley (table sharing), I always ended up with negative in balance. so yeah, although silly according to my cousin, I'm prepared to lose money for passion 😅😅

still I hope this time we can spread the comic as much as we can, the goal is to make people read #CastellaTower in the first place. this will be the first time for us to attend our own comic booth (half table) wish us luck! 🤞

Anuchard - home (OST by clea leshlick) 🎶
🔊ON👂

when you play the game, this place is like the main headquarter of the Bellwielder. I just can't post this without the very chill music lol.

my main visual inspiration for the vibe is Chrono Cross, specifically in Arni Village, and the cabin inside the jungle.

play the game if you haven't!!

#MatchMorphosis demo is out!🔥🔥🔥
Demo trailer:
https://youtu.be/t8XoT-HtUGo

It's a Roguelike Match3 Deckbuilder, built in ~6 months on a custom C engine. This is a friend's project, but I got commissioned to make most of the graphic assets.

Repost is very appreciated, and if you feel like it, leaving a review helps A LOT!

Have fun!!
