Millennial Sisyphus keeps entering all the information from his resume into the web form, only for it to delete everything when he tries to move to the next page. He just goes back and types it all up again, over and over again, forever, and he never gets a job.

Millennial Tantalus has been promised that his unpaid internship will become a paid position as soon as the company has space for him. Every week he sees their new job posting. Every week he asks his boss if he can have a real job. The boss shrugs apologetically and says he’ll just have to make do with being paid in experience a little longer. He goes back and keeps working, over and over again, forever, and he never reaches the fruits of his labors.

Millennial Persephone can’t get a job without a degree, but because she had to take out loans to pay for college, she must spend 1/3 of her life working just to pay them off.

Millennial Cassandra’s title is Social Media Coordinator, she was hired to be the expert, but every time she tries to explain the problems in her company’s social media decisionmaking, the managers don’t listen…and end up hiring expensive PR flacks to repair the damage to their reputation when things blow up exactly as she predicted.

Millennial Medusa uses multiple shades of primer and opaque foundation to cover the scars snaking across her face, hiding the bruises, aligning the asymmetry in her broken nose and jaw. Red matte on the lips, green shimmer on the lids. Flawless liner on the first try. She’s had lots and lots of practice. She films her transformation in secret for all to see and learn, and again, men are turned to anonymous stone faces screaming in horror. “Liar!” “Witch!” “Take her swimming on the first date!” These words do not discourage her. These words are a challenge. GlamGorgonXx posts another video.

Millennial Prometheus uploads another PDF to his site. He’s lost track of the printing and edition of this textbook. He knows they just rearranged some of chapters then charge 150 dollars per copy, and the professor wrote the book himself. the ZIP fills uploads successfully, and he starts uploading the next one. He isn’t afraid of the potential lawsuit. knowledge shouldn’t held out of reach like this.

Millennial Circe screenshots all the lewd messages she gets from men on online dating sites and posts them on her very popular Instagram along with their pictures and usernames. When people accuse her of attempting to destroy their reputations, she insists she’s just revealing them for the pigs they truly are.

i just downloaded a pdf and i have my whole life ahead of me to ignore it

My take on an iconic Heraldic subject as part of my course, St, George and the Dragon, has produced an interesting dilemma.

I did the line drawing by hand in Procreate in the normal mannner. I’ve not seen many depictions of this subject that I think are great. I wanted to try to tackle the subject in a contemporary and logical way. I have given the dragon, the horse, and St. George equal weight, which I think is balanced and logical.

When I was happy with the line drawing I started thinking about the rendering of it as a 3d object.

And then I thought, I wonder what Ai would do with this if prompted carefully? See below, it’s an incredibly photorealistic depiction of my drawing as a coin. But it’s not by me, it’s by AI. Rendered inn29 seconds.

And below that is the beginning of my rendering in Procreate, that will take a week, and I know will not look as good as the AI version when it’s finished.

I’m not sure what to think or do about this. I’m sure a lot of designers are in a similar position at the moment.
