People are suddenly reblogging the Dinluke Jurassic World AU again and it’s so nice because I love it so much. Like I can’t write AT ALL and I actually tried writing the fic and was even considering a comic because I enjoyed it so much. Legitimately Dinluke JW is probably the best thing I’ve ever thought of even if the art wasn’t that good and I’m glad people still like it

#feeling motivated atm but I probably still won’t do anything with it #I can not write. like that can’t possibly be overstated. it was so so so so bad even just thinking about it is embarrassing #but dinosaur nerd! Din is so so important to me #like I have a PLOT spanning all 3 movies and even a bit for the originals if I could just write decently it would be so good

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

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.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

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.

there are going to be global demonstrations for Palestine on march 2nd, this site has more info

here's what's written on the front page:

"On March 2, millions across the world will march for Gaza! The Israeli government is planning to have a full-scale invasion of Rafah one week later, on March 9, one day before the start of Ramadan. Today, the United States vetoed a UN resolution that insisted that Israel immediately cease its mass killing spree in Gaza.

Now is the time to act! People around the world are going into the streets in cities and towns, including in the United States, as part of the global day of protest on Saturday, March 2.

Gaza is facing famine, its hospitals are besieged, threats of ground invasion in Rafah loom near, and Israel continues its onslaught on the over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The mass movement for Palestine has led to the isolation of the US and Israel on the world stage. With growing internal divisions and heightened political pressure on Israel and the United States, it’s time to push even harder. Our mobilizations at this moment can be more decisive than ever, and we must show our full strength now to ensure a lasting ceasefire and an end to the siege on Gaza.

Act now, and mobilize in your communities and institutions, everyone must be on the streets on March 2nd! All out for Rafah! All out for Gaza! Stop the genocide!"

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.)

I was genuinely surprised that I had enough pieces to fill this out. It’s not very pretty and most of these are just sketches I didn’t like but I’m happy that I managed to draw something every month

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

I had a great time doing Star Wars inktober with y’all last year so I made a new prompt list for us!

And regardless of what prompt list you use (if you’re even using one) remember not to let yourself get stressed/burned out. You don’t need to finish inktober and you also don’t need to make a masterpiece every day (which is why I didn’t upload all of my inktober pieces from last year) Just have fun and stretch your creative brain muscles!

Also if you do use my list lmk so I can see what you drew!

hi, i’m not sure how but the words “chernobyl graphite kicking contest” came into my life— i want to say it was from a yt video on archeology in the section on radio metric dating but i cannot say that for sure. my best guess is i misheard something he said while half asleep and my brain filled in the rest. I tried researching what the chernobyl graphite kicking contest is but i found nothing except for information or the biorobots, and you. i made a tumblr account for settle this impass in my life, the chernobyl graphite kicking contest is the funniest thing i’ve ever heard and yet i literally cannot understand it, i am completely obsessed with how vague yet vivid all the implications of these four words are. my point in all of this is: what is the chernobyl graphite kicking contest? can i be a part of it? where did it come from? thank you so much for reading any part of this.

Holy shit I didn’t realize I had asks in my inbox lol. Anyways.

I forgot where I stole it from. I also feel like I got it from an archeology YouTube video too but I don’t remember and now it’s kind driving me crazy…part of me wants to say it’s from Miniminuteman but I feel like that’s not right??? But yeah idk if it’s something you wanna be a part of but sure you’re invited.

Also I LOVE that you made an account to ask this and I’m sorry I can’t answer, I’m gonna see if I can find it tho and if I ever do I’ll add it here!

Edit: it IS from Miniminuteman on YouTube. Video is Awful Archaeology Ep. 4: Creationists Footprint Conspiracies at 17:39!

I just realized that my Jedi Leia looks VERY similar to another artist that I love and I didn’t realize how similar they looked until today and now I feel like an asshole. I swear I didn’t mean it 😭

[fulcrum021]

Thank you so much to the person who told me I was one of the best Star Wars artists the other day. What the fuck though.

[fulcrum021]

I randomly generated another OC and she doesn’t have a name yet but she sure was fun to draw
