I Have A Ko-Fi Now!

Hello all; just dropping in to let you know that I have a Ko-fi now! Currently the only thing in the shop is my essentials brushpack, but I'm working on uploading some cross-stitch patterns as well, and eventually being able to sell prints/cards/etc there too. If anyone wants to check it out (it should be linked on my blog as well):

[Image description: a photo of an abstract acrylic painting. The painting has a vaguely spiral pattern to the brushstrokes. Three of the corners are various shades of yellow, pink, and orange, with the fourth being dark pink and blue. The centre of the spiral is a mixture of black, rich purple, and varying shades of phthalo blue. The bottom right of the spiral is noticeably more reddish pink than the rest.

Not my usual content, and also apologies that I've just. Not been active lmao- life has once again not been kind :') but here's this! New Those Who Dream today, quick lil warmup painting of the song Enigma. Explanation of what I painted under the cut lmao

Idr if I've ever posted some of my other visualizers for their songs, but if I have you would know that Josh's voice is very specific shades of blue/purple/black lmao. This song looks like a spiral, almost Milky Way or storm-esque. Usually songs will have like. A designated section for each element, like the bass will be in the bottom right or the drums in the middle, but when trying to focus on one part of this one, it just kept leading clockwise into the next part so I just kept kinda going around and around. The guitar is very red/pink; I didn't fully get the colour right, might have to go in to some parts and wash it with smth but we'll see. And the bass (? I think? Like the deep plucky bits that u can esp hear in the bridge/final chorus) is bright ass yellow and very visually staccato if that makes sense. Those parts should be more vertical than I painted them, but smth abt it was throwing me off and I didn't have the energy to try n work out how it actually looks tonight, so tis good enough for now

(ID in alt text!) Haven't been feeling well enough to do much art in general but I did make this for pride month! Inspired by an ad for herbicide/weed-wacker services that I grossly misunderstood

(Image Description: a digital illustration of a minecraft landscape. The surface is mostly flat except for a large hourglass-shaped mountain in with an oak tree on it in the middle of the image and a small, simple house to its right. Underneath the surface is a few small cave openings and a massive lush cave system. Below that it transitions into deepslate, with a medium cave opening filled with sculk blocks on the left. In the sky you can see both the moon and the sun, but the sky is coloured for day time. End of image description)

Happy birthday Minecraft (I'm a few days late but shhhhh its the thought that counts)!! Decided to try smth new with this, it doesn't look 100% like what I was trying to do, and I would've liked a bit more of an obvious timeline from the old version to the new, but I'm very happy with it regardless.

(For those curious, I created a reference by WorldEdit-ing the terrain from a world made in an old version (I can't remember if I used release 1.6 or beta 1.6 lmao) onto some 1.20 cave systems.)

Happy birthday TTTYG! :D Just a quick lil smth to celebrate, haven't had the time or energy to b doing much drawing lately lol

Hello hello again! I will be enabling reblogs for now, but I'm still not sure if having someone with AI-scraping enabled reblog my posts will scrape my art via them. So, while I doubt it'll do much, I'm politely asking if you haven't turned that "feature" off, please do not interact with my account. Thank you!

[elyanics]

Hey hi hello! Popping in to say I'm gonna be disabling reblogs on this account for the time being until we can determine whether or not being reblogged to an account that still has the AI scraping enabled will scrape our content too. I don't know if my work is safe anyways bcuz idk how long this has been active/if anything posted before the opt-out went live is safe, etc. Hopefully I will be able to continue posting on here in the future but I suppose I will keep yall updated :')

its official: tumblr is selling our data to Midjourney

Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.

[evilwizard]

everyone go enable this immediately

you need to go to your blog -> your blog’s settings. then scroll down to the visibility section. on the app it’s just labeled “visibility.” (it can be a bit confusing because it’s not under “general settings” or “privacy settings”—you have to specifically go to “blog settings.”)

you have to do this individually for each separate side-blog. i can not believe staff didn’t inform us about this before implementing it

Happy slightly belated birthday IOH! One of the albums ever. I love her so much

[elyanics]

Hope yall had a good winter solstice! Here's to the days getting brighter lol :D

Just a quick lil smth I whipped up for the day, been dealing with The Health(tm) so didn't have any energy to plan smth in advance, but I still think it turned out aight lmao

[elyanics]

I'm a day late but shhhh its the thought that counts- Happy 15th birthday to the one and only Folie A Deux :D I could be here for Hours talking abt how much this album means to me but I will Not subject yall to that and instead shall leave it here.

Also! A large portion of the background elements are from the interior art from the CD case; I wanted to include it because the CD art is also extremely important to me and the piece didn't feel complete without That Specifically in there lol. The original artist is Ron Kurniawan, and u can find the original pictures in his portfolio here!

Just a quick lil smth to commemorate the last tour day :D big feelings abt it

[elyanics]

Eugh hopefully the quality wasn't fucked when I had to email this to myself in order to post it😭 but I am still not recovered from being able to witness the live debut of West Coast Smoker in person. This didn't really turn out how I was wanting it to but it's good enough for now and I'll probably go back and redo it at some point tbh, I just wanted to get it out there because I have Feelings about it all lmao

[elyanics]

I have many drawings I want to post but I can't get them from my computer to my phone and the Tumblr desktop layout has changed so much and is so fucking awful I can't figure out how to post anything from my computer. This is a travesty of epic proportions

Edit: I have resorted to emailing the pictures to myself and downloading them to my phone that way. In Theory it shouldn't tank the quality too much but if it does I apologize😭

[elyanics]

Finally made a moss patch!!! Realized I was being incredibly autistic about the instructions for doing a French knot stitch and it's actually pretty easy lmao. Very happy with how this little guy turned out! Image Description in alt text :D

(Also apologies if the photo quality is kinda shit, apple hates me and I cannot seem to fix it😭 it looks fine for the most part but idfk)

Small Life Updates; Website, Store, And More!

Hello all! I know I've not been super active the last little bit lol- I've been trying but for those of you who know me, my health is. Very all over the place so it's been a little hard to create stuff recently.

I've also been working very hard on setting up a website that I can host my portfolio, take commissions, and sell prints from. Making the website has been pretty easy, since I know a decent amt of HTML and CSS and it's not too hard to look up JavaScript tutorials for the things I wanna do. Where I've been struggling is the commissions and shops part. I don't want to use my redbubble store anymore, partially because my parents STILL owe me the profits from it and will not transfer it so I haven't actually made any money for the ~5 years it's been active, partially because the profit margin is god awful (I'd have to make everything like $60+ in order to get any value from it and I don't want to do that to y'all), and partially because I want to be the one controlling my art and my products. I am a disabled uni student, so making and selling prints on my own is a little bit of a hassle- I can do it relatively easily in terms of the printing and shipping, but setting up the shop front for it (like the order page) is being a massive issue for me atm and I'm not sure the best way to go about it. If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it!

I'm looking into HTML/JavaScript templates for a web store, but my current idea is to just have a list of the print options and a copy/paste email template for people to use to email me their orders so I can fill them that way. It doesn't feel very professional or ""safe"" that way though, so I don't know if anyone would feel comfortable doing that (which is valid tbh). We shall see what I can come up with.

Thank y'all for sticking with me for all these years lmao, it means a lot!! Hopefully I'll be able to post more in the coming months, I've got some WIPs im finishing up and will hopefully have the energy to start some new stuff or redo some old stuff too.

Happy disability pride month, love y'all /pl, have a good one!
