Made a lil file for my Koike TT!Arsene based on the files created for the gang during Bloodlines promos! This was fun to make 🎩💎

I cannot deny i have become entirely enamored by the shadow guys... so I had to make my own named "mister guy"! While trying to fix something using the buttons on a zapper, he hit color correct mode and got stripes :)

Mister is very friendly and actually a sweet guy, but he just has a bit of a problem with his excitement for violence... also his little fang often comes out when he's causing mischief

Pretty much and then they @#%$

Maxwil fanfics be like;

Hello #maxwil nation. Tagging this as maxwil bc this is biblically accurate maxwil- jkjk lol don't take me seriously.

But yeah tbh my only experience with maxwil fanfics is the Smoke and Mirrors one. Absolutely iconic fic that genuinely converted me to maxwil. I have been in this fandom for almost a decade btw.

Happy pride, guys :) LoLoL

Had this happen over a week ago lol

When you call some company and the automated system is like “What can I help you with today? :)” and you already know it won’t be able to help you with this situation so you’re like “I want to speak to a representative” and the robot has the gall to be like “I can help you with many things! What are you calling for today?” GET ME YOUR MANAGER

AI, Chatbots, and HTP

Hey ya'll, Earndil here, but you probably could have guessed that already based on many things.

I've seen some stuff courtesy of the Hunter the Parenting Subreddit, and things people have brought to my attention, and though I have made my thoughts on the matter apparent before in some form, I figured I'd give a clear statement on the matter:

With the advent of AI, Chatbots, and exploitative programs that are fed hard work from creatives in our industry, to churn out gray, palatable slop for easy and convenient consumption, it's become apparent to me that some people in our sphere, be they fans or detractors, have begun to use them with our works as well.

I'm not going to speak on the intent of such things, as that's not a battle I'm here to fight. What I can say, is that we here at Ogre Poppenang heavily disapprove of the use of generative AI for creative purposes broadly. We do not want our hard work being fed into a machine to sate the needs or desires of people who are, in my opinion, extremely impatient, or so demanding of instant gratification that they do not care whose toes they step on to get it.

Perhaps it's merely a harmless, fiery passion to interact with our characters, perhaps it's something else, but in any case of it, we disapprove, and are highly disappointed whenever we see it. I have no specific people to call attention to, nor would I, as that is the kind of low-brow dogpiling I disapprove of just as much, but I want it to show in the record, at least here, that we do not want this in our world.

We are working diligently at producing hand-made, effortful media, for everyone, for free, and these kinds of things are extremely disheartening to see. If you see this, and have created a chatbot or other such thing using ChatGPT, or whatever the hell it is going as now, I implore you to do away with it.

Our work is not yours to steal and repurpose in this way.

Thanks for your time, take care.

Today is Earth Day! I drew this piece for Friends of the Earth, and all proceeds from the hand signed prints will go to them. Friends of the Earth is currently fighting to protect Orangutan habitats in Indonesia, and it was an honor to make this piece for them about this magnificent animal. 🦧💙

Okay…

So remember the thing going around the DST community about the sexy lab coat?

This is my contribution… finished about two years late…

Mwerf.

I’m alive… maybe… Mental issues SUCK.

Having knee issues doesn’t help

ANYWAYS

This took way. Too. Fucking. Long.

I hate ‘realistic’ rendering…

Necks are not as polished because I want to focus on the faces and frankly, I’m tired.

I have some more pieces to post later.
