Last minute art 'cause it's Sam's birthday. (19.02.)

[lindamarieanson-art]

Spotted my art on on the wall of the IWTV Writers Room 🥲

[lindamarieanson-art]

Guess what, I'm still alive. 😆

Had to do this little OC art for my music video, so I woke from my art slumber for a bit.

The Mute (click on the link for better res.)

I couldn’t not paint this cuddly Teddy-bear from Hell, so here he is.

Inktober 2024 - week 1 - Armand doodles (yes, it's only 3 pieces, not 7. I didn't mean to post anything this year at all but then I was like "it's doodles but it's still something", so here.)

It's Time To Investigate SevenArt.ai

sevenart.ai is a website that uses ai to generate images.

Except, that's not all it can do.

It can also overlay ai filters onto images to create the illusion that the algorithm created these images.

And its primary image source is Tumblr.

It scrapes through the site for recent images that are at least 10 days old and has some notes attached to it, as well as copying the tags to make the unsuspecting user think that the post was from a genuine user.

No image is safe. Art, photography, screenshots, you name it.

Initially I thought that these are bots that just repost images from their site as well as bastardizations of pictures across tumblr, until a user by the name of @nataliedecorsair discovered that these "bots" can also block users and restrict replies.

Not only that, but these bots do not procreate and multiply like most bots do. Or at least, they have.

The following are the list of bots that have been found on this very site. Brace yourself. It's gonna be a long one:

The oldest ones have been created in March, started scraping in June/July, and later additions to the family have been created in July.

So, I have come to the conclusion that these accounts might be run by a combination of bot and human. Cyborg, if you will.

But it still doesn't answer my main question:

Who is running the whole operation?

The site itself gave us zero answers to work with.

No copyright, no link to the engine where the site is being used on, except for the sign in thingy (which I did.)

I gave the site a fake email and a shitty password.

Turns out it doesn't function like most sites that ask for an email and password.

Didn't check the burner email, the password isn't fully dotted and available for the whole world to see, and, and this is the important thing...

My browser didn't detect that this was an email and password thingy.

And there was no log off feature.

This could mean two things.

Either we have a site that doesn't have a functioning email and password database, or that we have a bunch of gullible people throwing their email and password in for people to potentially steal.

I can't confirm or deny these facts, because, again, the site has little to work with.

The code? Generic as all hell.

Tried searching for more information about this site, like the server it's on, or who owned the site, or something. ANYTHING.

Multiple sites pulled me in different directions. One site said it originates in Iceland. Others say its in California or Canada.

Luckily, the server it used was the same. Its powered by Cloudflare.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with any of this information.

If you have any further information about this site, let me know.

Until there is a clear answer, we need to keep doing what we are doing.

Spread the word and report about these cretins.

If they want attention, then they are gonna get the worst attention.

[niuniente]

Also, to spot these out there in the wild, pay attention to their most common usernames:

Gibberish (like; vhrjatikh)

Something-something-blog (like; autocurrentboisssblog)

Something-something-numbers-blog (like; autocurrentboisss1985blog)

Name-blog (like jasminezyrrikkkkblog)

For now, it is the safest to block, report and remove any followers you gain with such username as there is a high chance for it to be one of these bots.

The True Dragon by *LindaMarieAnson

[lindamarieanson]

maybe pain is the greatest of gifts by *LindaMarieAnson

I have no idea where I was going with this but after hours of nightly doodling, this just happened. I chose the most awkward lighting, I know, and the piece might look strongly pixelated on some monitors (also I’m not sure about the color - my pc shows green, but netbook - blue). Anyway, hopefully you don’t hate it. It’s 7:30am here and I finally go to sleep.

Using Aneurin's birthday (08.05.1987) as an excuse to draw Dunkirk's "Gibson".

Lorenzo + forget-me-nots (because it's April 8 today).

[thepromiscuousfinger]

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

[beardedmrbean]

reblogs have always been in short supply for artists, sadly, but it's hitting the shitposts and even the cat pictures lately. Gotta keep getting the word out that reblogs are good and keep people posting new material that will be passed around for the next 12 years

[mornington-the-crescent]

They’re used to other social media sites, where the only equivalent of reblogging is straight-up content theft; so the idea that you can put someone else’s stuff on your page and have it not be a bad thing is a strange experience for them.

They’re likely also used to an algorithm recommending content based on what they hit “like” on, so they probably think that that’s how this works, too.

OLLA -Adam speedpaint by LindaMarieAnson

To celebrate OLLA’s bluray, doodled up a speedpaint.

[lindamarieanson]

I fail at painting backgrounds big time. XP I feel like I could paint 30 more Thranduils, but this will have to suffice for now.

Winter Soldier by LindaMarieAnson

Finally watched CA:TWS. As I’ve said before, I’m slow when it comes to catching up with popculture. *feels freakin’ old*

Got a bit carried away with the hair all over his face…
