@syntheid
It pmo when people shorten my first name to its most common nickname. Am I crazy or is this normal
Does it piss you off when people shorten your name after youāve introduced yourself with your full first name?
Yes, and this happens often
Yes, but this doesnāt happen often
No, I donāt mind it
My first name canāt be shortened easily
I already go by a shorter version of my first name
Other option?
wip that probably won't be finished (just running into too many things I'm struggling to render, and I don't want to burn out on this painting) of my deep apiarist from a Heart game.
Melanthes is a drow with the penitent calling, and he gave himself to the bees after being cast out from his home and sent to rectify his mistakes. He'd struggled getting by in the Heart and basically pledged himself to these entities that would give him power in exchange for his service to them, kind of like a warlock pact ahah.

Really just liked this design where her face leaves open up and wanted to draw it.
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
MapCrunch. Environment artists rejoice. Random locations, filter by indoor or outdoor, rural or urban, specific country. Great for realistic/authentic building ref.

Reblobbing this because I remembered I'd uploaded a process video to youtube a while back and that's fun, right.
third and final sketch commissions post from this batch! This one is COOL colors (and one red vulpera)!
commission info | patreon | etc
(credits & mentions below the cut: )
No because theres already a case of an actual artist being accused of doing AI art because their art is "familiar to the AI art style."
Theres already people who have gotten the AI to learn correct hand anatomy (albeit a bit wonky, but it's 5 fingers on two hands now.).
Literally what the fuck. This is the scariest shit. People now are teasing it to "hold objects" and "do complicated hand gestures" . My partner you and I both know in months time they will. This fucking sucks. It feels like theres no hope to stop this shit anymore aside from clients and art customers to FUCKING STOP AND LOOK CLOSER AT THE ART.
Like, please if you are commissioning from an artist, ask for like a psd. Or a .clip file. You cant even ask for a "sketch" because theres already programs able to simulate art progress, sketch to render. What the everloving tit shit.
I've said from the start that as this advances this is only going to be increasingly problematic for digital artists.
Yes, these AI can do WIPs.Ā There is a function called img2img where you can give it a starting image and ask it to create a variation of that starting image - many have been using it to take a real sketch they themselves drew and have the AI do the rest of the work (clean up, line art, flats, shading, etc. up to finished work).Ā Naturally, you donāt need to have drawn anything in the first place and could have asked another AI to create a sketch for you based on your text description, then run it through the same process to end up with just as polished a finished piece.
Last summer, when the backlash from artists started, I fully expected weād end up at this point where artists would turn on each other and start accusing real human-made work of being secretly AI generated.Ā Itās not a knock against the art community, itās just pretty obviously where it was going to end up as artists became more familiar with the technology and realized that AI-generated images were now a lot of the time just about indistinguishable from human-made images.
I donāt have any good answer for how artists should protect themselves from this.
Thoroughly documenting your process is about the best I can think of.Ā Keep EVERYTHING, archive all of your project files and anything you used as part of your process.Ā Itās probably a good idea to video capture your screen, documenting your whole process from start to finish.Ā Honestly, itās worth considering setting up a camera and actually video recording yourself sitting at your desk too.
IMO all of this should be a bit easier on traditional or mixed artists, as youāll have a physical object you can present as your proof.Ā But purely digital artists are definitely going to have a harder and harder time of things.
This is all VERY horrifying. Iām no artist, but āvideo record yourself doing the drawing to avoid being accused of using A.I.ā is an absolutely chilling phrase to read.
Redbubble users: what tier were you placed in?
"Standard"
"Premium"
"Pro"
I deleted my account without looking
I don't use Redbubble
Curious to see how widespread the garbage new fee system will be.
If your account has been categorized, you can see it on this page.
Not that I make a ton of sales there, but it looks like I'll be eliminating my Redbubble account. Or rather, *because* I don't make a ton of sales.
They are introducing a new fee structure - aside from the manufacturing costs - that basically penalizes the people who make the *least*.
It caters very much to high-volume, high-sales accounts. Or it can just change when they feel like it, at any time.
Which is great, for people who make a lot. Not so great for people who are just starting out, or are struggling to get their name out there.
*They* decide if you're doing well enough to go up a level.
Anyway seems like it's not going to be worth it for anyone who doesn't have the time/resources/reach to impress them, and the whole "community guidelines" thing seems sketchy.
I get their point - they want people to make more money. But the amount the get for "manufacturing" the products is not insignificant. Adding a fee on top is just rude.

thereās been a recent uptick in spam blogs following me lately, some of them with VERY explicit posts in the blog itself (which I havenāt seen from these spam blogs in ages, hi again, totally did not miss getting jumpscared by a strangerās vulva), so here is a reminder that if your blog has a default icon (or an icon thatās a generic photo of a person), a default header, and no posts, I and a lot of other people will block you on sight. Even if you are really a real person!! It doesnāt matter. If thereās no way for me to tell that at a glance, Iāll probably block you.
Put ANYTHING in your blog thatās a sign of life! Even just making your icon something like a fandom picture or an animal or a stock photo of a head of broccoli is enough. Itās fine if you just want to lurk and not reblog anything (even if thatāsā¦ counter to how tumblr is really meant to be used, but thatās a whole other thing)! Just please. PLEASE add a personal touch to your blog. Donāt get blocked by accident. Thank you.
I was having some struggles actually finishing these up but I finished! also think i managed to find who they belong to:

anyway first time joining and I could not keep up with chat lol but it was fun
just was messing around in infinite painter doing landscape thumbnails, and also trying out some color palettes using different underpaintings to see what effects it had.
didn't really do a lot of art in 2022, but when I did I was more focused on experimenting with color/light/style. trying out a more neon 'underpainting' color and messy & loose coloring.
last year I wanted to play Wanderhome with some friends, so I started a game and created this pangolin Peddler named Seti. I sorta panicked when I got asked what he was wearing, so he's sort of ended up with Malaysian baju melayu (well, that's what I was attempting for his fancy attire at least, but I feel like my refs may have steered me off course). top doodle drawn during one of our sessions (we tend to play with an aggie.io board up so we can all doodle to illustrate what's happening instead of like a vtt setup or anything)
