Hi, I'm Ash Bryan and this is my in progress art blog! I'm an American artist and author, I go by she/her. I will have mix of personal work and fan art on this blog as sort of a live portfolio! Feel free to share and get to know my work by having a look through!
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
Where DO fairytale retellings fall in the fandom umbrella?? Like in my head its as much fanfiction as Percy Jackson is. Like its fanfic on a technicality due to the nature of it being a transformative work based off something else, but no one legitimately views pjo as actual fanfiction. Youd only really claim it as such to be funny.
And sure my lil OC art isnt like a well known piece of published YA fiction with multiple adaptations in different medias but like where is the line? If Rick Riordan was just a guy posting his oc Percy would that make it fanfiction?
cus like, okay, with my Cinderwolf and Vampire Snow White I've gotten several people responding to it as if its an au on the same level as as making danny phantom show up in batman. I don't think thats a wrong response necessarily. I am an artist who works in fandom spaces a lot and I make a lot of fanart, so obviously fandom leaning people would be the ones seeing my art to begin with. Obvs I HAVE aus in which I enjoy the fandom experience of people adding their two cents and ideas. But those weren't like, my OCs
hmm, i dunno what im getting at here really. I think theres room for an interesting discussion on it tho
It's such a fine line that authors and artists dance, cause we have real works like Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies or Maleficent that feel like an au or fanfic that got green lit by large companies. But they're not talked about in the same tone as fan works.
I saw your Cinderwolf and vampire snow white and thought they were the cutest thing. I think the natural fan response to the work is probably because a lot of the fans interacting with it are familiar with ever after high or once upon a time shows that also feel like au's of those characters.
I think it depends on how far you take them. I have a story with characters inspired by Grimm fairy tales that could be seen as au of those stories but they've been developed so much and they're supporting cast so the info needed to get the connection isn't the main focus. In comparison your Cinderwolf and Vamp White have the main stage, people immediately see the connection and kinda know what to expect from their story cause they're new. You're stilling growing them as ocs, so we don't have anything to go off of other than the original story.
I think if Rick riordan started talking about early percy on Tumblr it would feel would feel pretty similar.
I hope I expanded on this is a positive way, I'm a one draft person. I don't often go back and fix my writing outside for typos. So hopefully the sentence structure and stuff isn't annoying to read or understand 😅
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
I passed a flower shop next to a tattoo shop and at first I laughed because I thought it was ironic and then i freaked because IMAGINE YOUR OTP IN A FLORIST/TATTOO ARTIST AU
Hello, all! This is an announcement for a Vampires SMP community event to support bat conservation. There’s a lot of misconceptions surrounding bats being evil or dirty or diseased, which makes it really hard to get people to care about some bat species that are already struggling with survival. Bats are close to the heart of VSMP, so i thought we could do something to raise awareness and support within our community.
-
When this event occurs: April 12th-18th, as International Bat Appreciation Day falls on the 17th of that week.
-
How to participate: Create a post with a piece of art or a story that is related to bats in VSMP in some way, and include a donation link to a bat conservation group with it. All posts will need to either tag this blog, or use a hashtag (#vsmp bat conservation event) so that we can find and reblog it to share the love. It’s not required but including information about bats themselves either within the work or separately is encouraged.
Who can participate: Everyone! Regardless of skill level, everyone is invited to participate. And if you’re not able to participate directly, you can still help by donating or liking/reblogging other people’s works.
Accepted art: Digital, traditional, 3D, short stories, poems, get creative! You may make as many posts as you like.

i personally don't feel comfortable handling money in any way, so all donations will need to be made directly to the conservation group(s). The downside to that would be that there won't be a specific monetary goal, and we won’t know how much gets donated in the end. HOWEVER.
To incentivize participation, i will be taking art requests. For each request that is made, I WILL DONATE $5.00 USD (capped at $500 USD). That means even if you're not an artist or writer, and donating is outside of your means, you still have the opportunity to be involved in a meaningful way!
All art requests must be sent as an ask, and must follow the above stated rules, otherwise it will be deleted. You may send an ask early, but it will only be fulfilled after the event starts on April 12th. Requests will not be accepted after April 18th (or if we hit the $500 goal).

Disclaimer: This event is not sponsored by anyone, nor are any of the Vampires Creators involved in the project. This is just a fun event for the community to celebrate and support bats.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send an ask or dm!
