Already Got A Blazed Marvel Post. The Adpocalypse Is Closer Than We Think So Heres Your Daily PSA

already got a blazed marvel post. the adpocalypse is closer than we think so heres your daily PSA

don't interact with corporate tumblr accounts

yes even to dunk on them. i don't care if you have the sickest burn of the century lined up, don't even give them the time of day

the eventual and inevitable fall of twitter marks a change in the advertising industry, and tumblr is unclaimed territory. if we want tumblr to remain the social media bastion it has become, it needs to remain as unappealing to corporations as possible. do not engage. in a marketing strategist's eyes, any kind of attention is good attention. don't "silence, brand" them. don't kungpowpenis them. don't send them hate anons. don't hate-follow them. corporate tumblrs are not a single entity and they will not be harassed off this site. we only have a shot at repelling them because of tumblr's lack of an algorithm. so turn off recommended posts on your dashboard, put it chronological order, and install an adblocker. if you don't seek out these blazed posts and actively ignore them when they happen upon you, the corporations will starve. in this case, the best kind of protest is a silent one

All the splatoon kids i've done so far... still have a couple more in the works so this will get larger, but i want MORE

thank you so much to those who have supported me and gotten a commission of one of these!

I'm still taking commissions for splatoon kids!

i can also do other species, they don't have to be octoling or inkling, though they will be kid-ified to fit in

They are a flat $75! Don't have a kid already? I can make one custom for you, no extra cost! I want to grow my army of ink-wielding children

Happy Splatfest everyone!

Just a lil reminder that my commissions are open!

With the current food and electricity prices, I'd love if I could grab a couple of commissions to help cover the potential costs!

You can see my TOS, prices and examples here.

If you want to commission me just fill out this form and I'll reach out to you!

Alternatively, I still have a couple of adopts over my Kofi as well.

Beginning to see AI imaging being posted on Tumblr and NOT tagged as AI and instead as like "watercolor illustrations" or "digital art" or even "photography", and it's pretty obvious that people in the notes don't realize it's AI and I'm starting to lose my fucking mind.

As an advice to recognize them: Those pics always are too overly detailed in a weird way because the AI has to fill up those pixels. You can often not really even tell what's going on. They have some kinda cool *aesthetic* going on at times, but if you try to actually look at it, you'll see it's completely wonky. It's literally just "vibes". Trying to put some logic into the pictures makes it fall completely apart.

Usually composition and perspective are shit too, and you'll mostly see landscapes because you will scream if you ever stumble upon an AI-generated hand.

And of course people doing that call themselves "Generative artists" on Instagram and get 60k followers because since it's just typing some words in to get pics, they can literally have a 50 pics backlog and post 2 a day, because that's all the algorithm asks for, right?

Going fucking insane. I don't wanna look at some trash that a computer spit out using millions of artworks taken without consent and then recycled. At least if they correctly tagged this shit we could make fun of it.

I look at art to wonder how much time and love and skill and passion someone put into it, sometimes despite their own condition. I look at art to be inspired at how people just so carefully handcrafted something out of their own mind. I don't look at art to wonder what words someone put into a computer. You can't even control it, it's literally a gacha game. It isn't art, it's AI imaging.

It literally puts out recognizable signatures and shutterstock watermarks and then they pretend that it's not using stolen art?? My dude the #1 advice they give people to make "good" AI prompts is using an artist's name! How do you think the AI knows about this artist?? It's in the fucken database, Jessie!! They put everyone's art in a DATABASE to use it for profit, JESSIE!! (Yes, AI programs require subscriptions and "give you the commercial rights" of the pics. Right now you can literally ask the AI "Cool landscape by -Artist-" and then sell the picture. You can even ask for actual people's faces if you'd like! And if you use an open source one, it can make realistic [redacted]! Such fun/s)

They use "trending on ArtStation" as a keyword for their AI prompt for fuck's sake. Everyone's art and photos and everything is neatly labeled in a giant fucken database and the artists were never asked if they could... You know... Maybe not have their art in a giant database used to copy them?

The best part of this is that they already made a marketplace to sell prompts. They sell "secret words" I'm not even kidding.

Do I have to pretend it's normal or am I allowed to lose my mind, because I can't pretend for much longer. The more I learn about it the more insane I get about how little respect some people have for artists.

LOOOVVVVEEEE YOUR ART STYLE!!! PLEASE ARE YOU TAKING ANY OWL HOUSE ART OR COMIC REQUESTS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!? CAN'T DO COMMISSIONS SORRY 😔.

Thank you so much! 🥰 You can absolutely put some requests or ideas in asks like this if you want (I love reading them and most of my comics have been inspired by talking with people!) but I can't guarantee if/when I'll do them!

this scene alone will keep me going while i wait for the next special
