Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.

#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

also use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!

here's a link to Nightshade

here's a link to Glaze

best combination is usin Nightshade then Glaze on your images. Glaze creates a protective layer and Nightshade poisons the A.I. software.

I thought your URL was "ass assault" for a second so I kicked and saw how lovely your art was. Definitely worth the follow

Lol Honestly, easy mistake. And thank you, messages and followed are always appreciated!

After years of hiatus with mental health and financial issues I'm going to double down on my efforts to be more active online posting artwork.

Thanks for the follow!

The motion to repeal Net Neutrality has been passed in a 3-2 vote

Before everyone losses their shit, I will like to urge everyone to talk a deep breath and focus on the following:

1: This cannot go into immediate effect.

2: There is still many issues that WILL be addressed by the Congress, Supreme Court, and many other government officials have a current say in the false comments, stolen idenities, denial of public hearings, and many other issues that the FCC did not address.

3: CALL. YOUR. OFFICALS. Do NOT give up, just because the vote has passed, don’t you DARE stop. Make this shit go front-page, make some NOISE.

DO. NOT. STOP.

Whoops--I forgot my roommate’s portrait existed. He ( @nervous-wrex ) has it framed in the living room, yet it somehow took this long for me to realize I haven’t posted it.

@ all of my followers who use the mobile tumblr app!!!

please go to “General Settings” then to “Dashboard Preferences” and turn off “Best Stuff First”. This is killing artist exposure! Please, please, PLEASE, turn it off if you really do love the artists you follow! You’d be helping us so much! Please reblog this so that more people may know!

[thewhiterabbit42]

Artists and writers are losing a lot of exposure over this new feature.  Someone recently posted a photo of their notes over the last month and there was a HUGE difference from before the “Best Stuff First” feature and after.  

The things many people create on this site is getting buried.  Some is commissions but a LOT of content is done for free.  Changing your settings does help them, but it also helps YOU still find the things/ blogs you enjoy.  If you want to actively help, hit the reblog button if you enjoy something.

[nobodys-baby-now]

Please guys, reblog this like crazy. AND if you like someone’s artwork of fics, please reblog it too

The last three of the sketches! I like the expression and exaggeration I got down on these guys. I think they’re all cute in their own ways too.

Portraits: 59, 60 & 61 of 61

[ash-assault]

One hungry, little monster: no jaw, all teeth. One joyful, shot up cop.

Portraits: 57 & 58 of 61

When you stake a vampire, aim for the heart. Sketches of a backer’s character, and a cyberpunk themed “monster”.

Portraits: 55 & 56 of 61

Another two sketches from the bonus rewards. The man skewered with pipes was completed toward the end of the series, while the one being bombarded by arrows was done earlier on. All the backers received “backer numbers”, but I completed the requests out of order by what interested me most at the time. They all had the same deadline, after all.

Portraits: 53 & 54 of 61

A reptilian shedding its human flesh and a necromorph inspired portrait per request.

Portraits: 51 & 52 of 61

[ash-assault]

These were fun--this sketch reminds me of my friend, Kevin. lol The backer I referenced does too, but not nearly as much. I need to practice drawing beards. Check this other guy out, literally pulling his hair out...and skin off.

Portraits: 49 & 50 of 61

[ash-assault]

Portrait sketches of a hungry demon and a harpy. These two are also among my favorites from the series, and (I think) show improvements I’ve made in facial expression.

Portraits: 47 & 48 of 61

[ash-assault]

A big, beefy armed monster and a spindly legged drider. The drider portrait was one of the first sketches I completed from the set.

Portraits: 45 & 46 of 61

A couple more portraits.

This is the final printed spot illustration and design for the title page of Vertebrae alongside other variants that weren’t chosen. @chainsmoke-art and I decided the on register, flat, textured version best fit the overall design and feel of the book we were going for. I thought the diagram-inspired concept was the most amusing and practical of my thumbed layouts, so I’m glad we went with it.

[ash-assault]

Just about the happiest, cute little zombie and a zombie hoard attending a couples wedding day. Who needs wedding bands when you have swords?

I’m pretty pleased with the improvements I’ve made illustrating blood and liquids from working on backer requests.
