Finally finished this after many delays.

I was inspired to do a painting based on the pando aspen grove post that's been floating around recently.

I've also included the initial sketch I did for the character.

Got this piece printed as an acrylic standee! The 3d element really adds a lot to it. I'm kind of old and I live under a rock so I didn't realize I could print custom art on a standee until I saw some other people on twitter doing it. Printing this was also pretty affordable; I got this for about $30 and they gave me 2 extras in addition to the one above.

I've been thinking a lot about the whole ai art situation and why it bothers me so much.

Many ai supporters that I've seen online or unfortunately met in person claim that ai art is improving society by democratizing art.

Through the power of ai art is now easy, free, and can no longer be monopolized by money grubbing artists demanding payment for a useless luxury. Ai bros think its fine to feed our work into midjourney or whatever because they feel that art and by extension artists aren't important or valuable. Artist are beneath them and do not deserve money or respect for their work therefore it is ok and even commendable to steal art.

Idk where I'm going with this I think I'm mostly just salty that every social media site I use has been completely compromised by some form of ai data scraping.

#ai #rant #where am I going to go now :( #It takes 2 hours to glaze my art on the lowest settings and it looks terrible #pretty sure glaze is just a very mild deterrent at best. Its probably better than nothing I hope... #the opt out button on tumblr is just a deterrent to stop people from spamming support pretty sure it doesn't protect you from anything

The distain you people have for art and artists is astounding. You should be ashamed.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Got a few people wondering what my last painting was about. Long story short its tangentially related to an old curse of strahd campaign. I had a character that turned evil and founded an organization.

Finally finished it. Only took 9 months for me to stop being afraid of the background.

This is what I've been working on for the past month for the MCDM rpg backerkit page. Proud of the illustration but I'm very tired and ready for a holiday break now. This piece is huge.
