I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

IF YOU SEE ANY PAINTING BY "EMILE CORSI" ON HERE, DO NOT REBLOG IT THINKING IT'S REAL AND FROM THE 1800s. IT IS AI-GENERATED AND EMILE CORSI IS NOT A HISTORICAL FIGURE

examples:

And if you love the vibes and wish you could find something similar painted by a real person, let me introduce you to John William Waterhouse, on whose work the AI was definitely trained:

I accidentally stumbled on this cool dreamy filter trick with a hue layer and I wanted to share it with you guys!! 🥹 (explanation under the cut)

Video demo

^before and after

1) flatten original drawing to a single layer

2) make a layer behind the og drawing layer and fill it with a solid, fully saturated, medium-light color (ex. pink or orange)

3) duplicate the original drawing layer above and set it to "HUE" !!

4) adjust the opacity of the original drawing layer (in the middle, sandwiched btwn the HUE layer and solid bg color layer) to your liking~ (below: 0%, 32%, 60%)

AND YOU'RE DONE!! YAY ✨

Note: the bg color underneath can be any hue, and the exact value doesn't matter either (i would go for medium-light for pastel look- not dark or very light) but it must be saturated! If it is not saturated, then the hues from the "hue layer" won't be transferred! If it is completely grey, the hue layer won't work at all:

Note 2: this effect is not the same as just lowering the contrast! I tried lowering the contrast using CSP's function and it gave me this ugly grey result (it's the same as if the "bg color" was set to grey, like the above pic!) So this "hue filter" method lowers the contrast while keeping rich, dreamy colors!!👀✨

The Truth About Unions: What Has Organized Labor Done for You?

Y'all if you're American please email your politicians and senators against the parents decide act. I'm fucking begging because we're reaching a tipping point.

Call or Write Congress About H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act - GovTrack.us

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

[rudavoidish]

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

there were. so many ruffles on this dress. might make this look nicer later but for now ill call it done ^_^

(reference under cut!)

[foulfaced]

[paperruins]

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.
