So I'm insane, I decided as to celebrate Cayde-6 coming back to destiny. I would do a quick drawing of him a day.

Of course this is just for fun and because I love him. So I might miss some days because I do have commissions to work on but I will try to post as many as I can up until the the 4th.

Thats when the expansion with him comes out.

Wish me luck XD

To all my fellow artist! This includes writers or anyone in the creative field. "Don't focus too much on the negatives of your work. Take moments to see the good parts too"

So on my Patreon, we do a poll once a month for the next nsfw drawing for that month.

This was a fun one as the winners were both robots but in different styles. 2B and cayde-6!

A Destiny 2 & Nier automata cross over XD

The full version is on my patreon.

Yup, the hole think about the arts is to accept your failures and be able to be more self aware. Notice what is the issue and work on it, problem solving.

Which goes into practice, during this time that is what you do. Work on what your weakest at and improve.

Also just ask people to critique your work but try not to let any negative comments get to you. Some people don't know how to constructively critique others.

Grumble grumble…

Adobe firefly not ethical??

A heads up too anyone who uses Adobe's AI generator stuff or to anyone who did think it was ethically made. Turns out it wasn't

Turns out it was trained on Midjourney images. A 'relatively small' amount of 5% still amounts to literally millions of images and as we all know Midjourney images are made from stolen data.

So no Firefly wasn't ethically made, this also explains why artist who did "opt out". Still saw their names and traces of their work in Adobes AI generator.

Pink Floyd: animated music video contest.

So Pink Floyd had an animated art contest.

"Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary Animation Video Competition."

There were a fair amount of good entries, some I thought were going to win BUT guess who won? It was an AI bro, this person won an animation contest by putting in some prompts into a program.

The only thing they made was the tittle card, everything else was all done by a program that uses stolen data.

This just was so depressing and especially since there were some well made drawn animations.

Like this one here

I recommend watching their video it's fantastic, it does have nudity but it's nothing sexual. Also go check out the other entries too because these actual artist need the love for their hard work.

Something I also learned is each song was in a category, so there were multiple winners. One of the videos that did lose to that AI one was this one link.

Also very well made and created by a person, not a program but they and others who put in for that song lost.

Overall, knowing that someone won an animation contest and didn't do any animating. Over the people who spent months working on a animated music video, with there own hands and skills.

It just makes me question, what's the point in entering these contest? When it seems an Ai generated entry will always win.

Note: Also they know it's AI generated because the guy who won, literally said he used an AI generator.

Don't waste time on bad company. It's a waste of your time and energy. Life is too short to waste on people who just want to make you angry or sad.

Looked at some of the comments on this post and added some suggested programs and youtube channels. As well as some helpful sites too the list.

After doing that I'm amazed at how much bigger this post is getting, Just proves how lazy A/I bros are. We have all of these resources and yet they just couldn't be bothered.

This probably also just proves that they don't care about art and what they want isn't to be able to create or express themselves. It's just to make content and that high you get when you gamble or the high you get from getting a bunch of "likes".

That is probably all it is, still doesn't excuse what they are doing but it does make me pity them. That they need this to feel good? Sounds like a sad life to me.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Filmmakers confirmed to be using A/I generated images.

Very sad, they could afford expensive actors and pay for a set but they couldn't afford an Artist.

Will this movie is off my list of too watch.

Added note:

Some people have been popping up saying "But they didn't start production until 2022 and no one knew how bad these things were until 2023".

To that I say "do you remember when all the artist on Deviantart and artstation where protesting agents A/I generated images being allowed on these sites? That was in Dec 2022 and remember that guy who won an art contest at a state fair with an A/I generated image. Artist where upset and even asked that he be disqualified. This was during Sep 2022.

Proof of events below:

So yes, during 2022 people did start to notice the issues with A/I generated images.

Another good reason to leave Deviant art.

Besides them making it clear that A/I generated images are allowed on an ARTIST PORTFOLIO SITE. They are now straight up promoting it and using it for profit.

We can see this in their new post on twitter

How they gain profit from this is as shown in their video ( Link ). They talk about subscriptions and how if you join as one of their sellers. You too can make thousands with stolen work. Also note they do get a percentage of the profit the seller makes.

So if you need any reason to delete your account on DA, here another reason too.

I deleted mine about 2 years ago. The moment they decided to make their own A/I generator, I was out.

Alternatives?

Inkblot art: they don't allow any A/I generated images.

Thats the only site I can think of at this time but other things you can do is join an art discords that are pro human artist.

Or post your work on your social media, make sure to glaze them ( glaze is a program that will make your art work, photos, just images in general, hard to replicate in an A/I generator) and make a site for your art portfolio.
