Last Song: ”Boss” - Plok! (OVERDRIVE MIX) by Miketama. No other comment it’s just cool

Currently Reading: Trying to read Wings of Fire The Lost Heir but I’m getting swamped with hangout requests;; (I wanna read it so bad tho)

Currently Watching: A bunch of stuff, but me and my partner are trying to watch Good Omens right now. 

Current Obsession: RATATAN. RATATAN AND PATAPON ALL THE WAY RIGHT NOW WE JUST FINISHED THE KICKSTARTER I WANT TO PLAY IT SO BAD BUT WE GOTTA WAIT UNTIL 2025. Ahem. So I guess more Patapon for now as an alternative brainrot source. I want to send little eyeballs to war with my war drums <3 I want to throw a barrage of exploding spears of doom and call lightning from the skies to my enemies and watch as the damage numbers go into 9999999s

Tagging: Uuuuuh hmm... I guess @callieharm​ what you up to recently?

tag nine people you'd like to get to know better

last song: God Is a Woman by Rett Madison

currently reading: A Tale of Two Cities (which, let me tell you, is hard to read when you're sick as hell--I made it through three pages and had to put it aside for when I'm better)

currently watching: rewatching Lower Decks before the new season airs! Currently on season 1 and already I've noticed a ton of things I missed in my previous rewatches. Also watching s2 of DS9 and s3 of Enterprise. Oh, and on my third rewatch of Grey's Anatomy, but that's a show I just put on in the background while I do chores.

current obsession: still star trek since March '22 :3

how would Tumblr cross the picketline??? I thought that applied to actors not corpos????? But agreed the clown needs to go ASAP what the hell is that

I love opening up this website first thing like the morning paper and immediately seeing multiple posts like "how to get rid of the evil clown on the dashboard". like oh is this what we're doing today

Wait did they bring back icons? I have them back! (and blue background is back!! oh this is so much better on the eyes)

Psst!

Friendly announcement that I take commissions now! If you'd like me to draw your stinky scrimblos idk, dm me or something

Please guys I need money

I love deranged women 😍

I don't even have a name for her yet, but I love her already

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.

tumblr: don't worry i got you *fuckign crashes*

A long time ago an anon asked my thoughts about drawing backgrounds, so I finally got around to putting this together. It’s more prop-centric, but it still represents my philosophy to backgrounds. 

I’ll try to do something more about drawing actual background spaces in the future! Please let me know what you think, if anything is unclear, or if you have suggestions for other tutorials you might find helpful!

Testing style translation. Hope they look recognizable ^^;

A curious snail, have a nice day!
