ok so, for the last few hours i've been making this code that organizes the colors in drawings:

(mostly @metukika's bc her works look really dope and i don't have many like that ;_;)

and these things feel like something that would be sold as a "deconstruction of classical paintings" like the "the kiss" by Klimt, "starry night" by Van Gogh or "Girl with a pearl earing" by vermeer

i can imagine going to an art gallery and finding stuff like this, made by someone who thinks they are so so smart

Ok but this is actually phenomenally cool OP, and a terrific tool for explaining some of the weirder aspects of color theory, especially how to translate color from traditional media to digital.

I'm working on the teaching plan for a digital painting class I'm going to pitch to my illustration school, and I was wondering if you had something I could use to show this concept to the class? (In exchange for full credit and money of course)

do you all remember in the early 2010s where people were talking about freeing the nipple and that mixed-gender sports should become a thing and the removal of period tax and all of that and then some people realised that would mean trans people too ans they instantly decided to revert to bioessentialism 101 and now i have to see grating sentences like Well maybe jeopardy should be gender-segregated because males have a biological advantage in pressing a button

So Marvel’s out here ripping off smaller artists now

They edited it just enough that it isn’t immediately obvious, especially to non-artists, so here’s some replies pointing out the proof:

Honestly, I’m glad I stopped watching their shows and films months ago, becuase between this and how they treat their CGI artists, it’s pretty clear that they don’t value artists in any way, shape or form whatsoever. Incredibly disappointing.

Companies are known to supply references to the artist and proceed to demand that the result looks identical to it. Not sure why.

Twitter post below is how I found out about the practice:

Wait when you read books and stuff do you actually imagine a new person or think of an actor/character you already know and imagine them as the character in the story

?

New person

Existing person

straight up at this point i just distrust all callout posts as a general rule. i’ve seen a few that pointed to genuine harm done (usually calling out serial scammers), but probably a solid nine times out of ten it’s some kind of overblown nonsense. either it’s trying to provoke backlash against someone op just doesn’t like and backfilling the justification, or it’s some kind of really personal drama that should have never been made public, or it’s someone who is bored and wants to stir stuff up. there are exceptions to this, but at this point callout posts start from the position of being seen as unreliable in my mind and have to prove themselves reliable before taking them seriously, not the other way around

important market research question: what lines from tv shows or movies just forever knock you on your ass no matter how many times you hear them? there’s a lot but it’s a toss up between “i’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think god made you for me” (normal people) or “it is worth it. and everything around it is worth it….every moment. everything is worth it.” and “we’re more than just psychology” (bones)

[mwagneto]

ive never been religious and i don't like christianity but all the english phrases that come from it/reference it are so fucking funny i can't stop saying them. none of these words are in the bible. my brother in christ. like god intended. year of our lord 2022. or so help me god. like....the drama. unmatched

twitter sucks for art because you have a maximum of 48 hours before your art post completely fades out of existence whereas tumblr lets things circulate forever. and also you can read all of the fun lovely things that people leave in the tags that they’d probz be too shy to say in a public reply 

[kirvia]

i will always 100% prefer tumblr’s slow accumulation of notes and the wave cycle of popularity on an art post over the years than getting 50k likes in the first 24 hours and 0 likes the next on twitter

The thing I like about Battinson is that you have fans like me, who mainly grew up on Batman: The Animated Series, where Arguably Best Batman (Kevin Conroy) was constantly codeswitching back and forth between aggressively frightening irredeemable villains and comforting victims, connecting with children, helping those who only committed crimes because they were wronged, etc. And it's because we grew up on this Batman that many people hate the portrayals where Batman is just an angry brute out for vengeance. But Battinson shows a really good transition of how Bruce could go from the latter to the former. And it's even more impressive because a lot of stories try to be edgy by having their main character sink further and further into anger and violence, but Battinson showed the opposite: a superhero who started off thinking that he had to be the cliche angry, vengeful, persona, before realizing that what Gotham really needed was someone to be nurturing and bring them hope.
