#SidewalkFriends: Friend or Foe

I like to keep an eye out for cool shapes during my walks and use them as inspiration for my #SidewalkFriends drawings. It’s like my version of hunting for Pokémon.

Today’s Sidewalk Friends sketch is a guy in a tuxedo peaking from around a corner. Inspired by some moss and cracks in the asphalt.

#SidewalkFriends: Cool Greg

I like to keep an eye out for cool shapes during my walks and use them as inspiration for my #SidewalkFriends drawings. It’s like my version of hunting for Pokémon.

Today’s Sidewalk Friends sketch is a laid back green guy, inspired by some dried soap bubbles from a nearby car wash.

While working on this piece, I tried refining a new style that was inspired by carving out linotype. Rather than using consistent lines, I tried to give the lines a more etched, or “hand cut”, look.

He seems happy and is smiling towards the camera while giving a thumbs up.A white puddle of bubbles on the sidewalkA screenshot from Procreate art app. It shows a very close up view of my "Cool Greg" drawing. The piece is in a cartoon style, but it uses jagged outer lines, instead of the normal smoothed out lines that are used for outlining.

A drawing of a walrus and a seagull having a conversation. They look very relaxed and sort of melancholy. The two characters are anthropomorphic. The walrus is a brown suit, but the seagull doesn't have clothes on for some reason. Instead of a background, the original photo of the sidewalk is behind the two characters.The original photo that was used as inspiration for today's Sidewalk Friends sketch. It's some sort of dark stain on the sidewalk.

I'm a little bit late to the trend, but here is my own No AI Starter Pack :)
#StarterPackNoAI #NoAIStarterPack
#StarterPack #illustration #MastoArt #FediArt

An illustration that I made of myself and some objects, as if I was a doll in a box, with some accessories. The background is teal, and it says "eli starter pack" on top, and there is a symbol indicating "No AI".
On the left side is the doll that represents me. They have dark pink mullet style hair, are wearing a black top with an Anarchy symbol on it, a short black skirt, fishnets, and chonky black boots. On the right side are all my accessories, each of them in an individual box: headphones with cat ears, a riding crop, a bubble tea with a straw, a pink axolotl plushie, a notebook with some pens, and an ukulele.

"Protest Starter Pack: Creators and Allies unite, stand up and fight!

★ All major AI generators are trained on stolen content. That’s unethical and unfair.
★ They’re built to deskill and replace human creators. With their own work.
★ AI users support theft, data laundering and broligarchy. Don’t feed the bullies!
★ It’s not “just” artists. They steal your data as well, and will replace your job too.
★ We need consent, compensation and transparency. It’s called Opt-In.
★ AI enables fraud & destroys the web with false facts. Stop the slop!
★ If it’s in the training data, AI reproduces bias, stereotypes and prejudice.
★ Care about the climate? Stop AI wasting the resources of our planet!
★ It is not “time to adapt or die”. It is time to fight – or adapt and die.
★ So let’s unite, petition, protect, inform, explain and call out! Together, we are strong.
★ Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI! Or at least not supporting it.

Artists fight against generative AI, which – unlike technical or scientific AI – is trained on copyrighted and private data without consent or compensation, and used commercially, in unfair competition with our own work."

Had an incredible amount of fun drawing this on Procreate.

Would actually love to draw more as a commission. If anyone interested in getting their own action figure - DM me 😎

Gali būti, kad aš paskutinė šito trend'o dalyvė, bet kai pamačiau kiek menininkų piešė savo "action figure", protestuodami prieš AI atrajones, negalėjau neprisijungt.

Piešt buvo taip smagu, kad imčiausi nupiešt panašų ir pagal užsakymą, jei kas norėtumėt 😂

Face à la nuée d’images réalisées à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle, l’artiste Patouret en a eu ras le bol et a lancé le , permettant ainsi aux artistes de mettre en avant leurs talents. Je n’ai pas résisté à créer le mien et cela me permet aussi de donner mon avis ici (parce que c’est mon blog et que j’y fais ce que je veux, nananère!)
