Idolaters - In the Dark

- Stop playing with shiny toys, darling, they were never meant for you: starlight, sunlight, heaven's light... your eyes were not made for such bright things. Don't worry, dear. That little angel almost made you soft, but he's gone now. You'll be one of us again. Unforgivable, remember? That's what you are. One of the bad guys.

What? Is that Satan himself speaking? Where is this series going? But most importantly: did I draw all the things I intended to draw this time? We'll see in a few hours when I look at it again and realize that I missed half the drawing.

if marvel asked you to do Thor would you if not is there any character you’d like to do a story for that you haven’t already

Long ago -- around 2006 -- I was asked to create a Thor animated cartoon, and I got all excited, and the brief was it had to be set before the Thor movie. I did a deep Thor dive, reread everything Jack Kirby drew, came up with a whole story shape that ran a few seasons showing young Loki going from hero-worshipping his big brother to Going to the Bad, and then they told me I wasn't actually allowed to have any of the characters at any point be different in any way from how they were in the Thor movie, so I said no thank you and stopped.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

I totally forgot that i drew new stuff for the spicy zine- (It was a long month)

so in answer to what is in it-

*THIS* ^ but more- and also fulfilling Big Naturals Aziraphale for the Month.

Femme Aziraphale from the cleavage upwards. She is leaning against some pillows, and wearing a white froufrou bit of nothing. A small Snek Crowley has periscoped up from between her boobs and she's just gently kissed their tiny overwhelmed head. Snek Crowley is doing a tiny Blelelele.

What if Crowley could change his species of snake at will? 🐍

In Aziraphale's defense, Crowley wasn't a rattlesnake when he put him in the box. Crowley could obviously get out whenever he likes, but it’s actually kind of fun.

Stop everything you're doing and look at the Arabian sand boa. You're welcome.

Snakes in order of appearance: Red-bellied black snake, blunthead tree snake, eastern hognose snake, Arabian sand boa, African egg-eating snake, eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

You ever make something and go, "This is it, my finest work. My magnum opus. I've peaked as an artist."?

This is that moment for me.
