heavily considering removing some of my cringier artworks from my art tag. I won’t delete them because making mistakes is part of growth but I’m not going to put them on the wall either
I think I'll alternate between Narinder domestic cat and serval from time to time...they're both fun to draw (so don't get confused when you see it looks different in some drawings) Maybe I'll share the comparison sheet later if I finish it...
Posting briefly to say hello and let you all know I haven't fallen over yet, just very busy! I have a bunch of WIPs and some finished pieces, but plan to post them in the future ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ thank you for your support!!
Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist).
As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)
We've been hiding for days. I'm hungry, but I'm too scared to leave this place, though the earth no longer shakes. I didn't know the Bishops could bleed. The fifth ... we dare not speak his name. Soon we won't remember it. But he waits. He will always wait.
what's fascinating about this note is that while it may refer to the lamb slaughter, it may also predate it. TOWW is referred to as the fifth Bishop, the one whose name is banned. i'm thinking this may either be written by a sect of TOWW-worshipping sheep, or by much older followers of TOWW from the time when he's first imprisoned.
the "soon we won't remember it" is chilling and sheds light on why the red crown is rarely seen anywhere outside of lamb's cult. the bishops intentionally wanted narinder to be forgotten. and that meant hunting down his followers, erasing his altars, burning down every last trace and mention of him until history told a tale of only four bishops.
Lost Message III
A torn letter, stained with blood.
I found the last, hidden deep in the Lands. It follows me, silent, to the ritual grounds. When my task is at last complete, I will bury it with the others.
