It's that time of the year again where i desperately want sunny, bright and warm days but the weather keeps being gray and rainy 😔 So i figured it's a good excuse to redraw my sunshine-manifesting Emma from last year Last year's version under the cut

Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”

Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*

Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.

Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.

Emma

No context tbh, ig she was at a fancy party but got bored so went outside to get some fresh air

Started as a sketch to try out some white streaks in her hair. Then I found some cute outfits on pinterest and things escalated lol

Redesigned Dalma recently, she started out as a werewolf but it ddint really make sense for her for a while now so i changed her into a unicorn(kinda)! Or more like unicorn guardian? I'm still working on the lore

Plus obligatory princess+knight au, some comfy gay sketches and Dalma in clothes referenced from @pricklyalpaca since I really enjoy her videos and the clothes she make (here is her yt since she doesn't seem too active on here)

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

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.

Following the brainstroming in my sketchbook i tried to refine my ideas digitally

3 concepts for my angel characters' outfits. They are basically a unit of soldiers in the story so I was thinking of outfits they could all wear.

The first page is a more ceremonial outfit, on the left side of the second is the more everyday use uniform and next to is a sleep/loungewear idea

One of my idea when designing these was that everyday uniform should be something they could put on quickly and by themselves meanwhile the ceremonial would require other's help to put on and make sure that everything is in the right place

This is mostly an Abner sketch page lol but there are some baby clothing concepts too For the babies it's important to have their backs exposed since the growing wings and feathers would be itchy and it would get uncomfortable quickly if not

Functionality I have no idea how well would these work and sadly I don't know much about clothes in general u.u Tho maybe even I could make myself one of the simplier ones like the sleepwear, just for fun and to see if they even work lol

Some (mostly) Reyka sketches~ Since I haven't posted much about her; she and Abner are basically adopted siblings, as in Reyka took Abner under her wing when they were younger (both literally and figuratively)

A bit of modern au, the universe where Arthur and Reyka can meet ( lucky for Arthur cus Reyka would snap him in hald in the main universe) Fun fact: in this au she opens up a gym

Shooting them both with the "small wings on the back" beam

And thinking of some clothes and how would they work with wings

Forgot to post the last little 11 second made in the last semester, this was for the november challenge~

I didn't really like the audio at first so i choose to work with OCs to keep my motivation up and ig it worked im a simple being oc = neuron activation

I even managed to whip up a bg for them in like a day or two? (this is big for me, i suck at backgrounds)

Trying out a new way to use my watermark that i've seen an other artist use. I hope it's not too distracting? but still does what it needs to do??

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.)

This is my october entry for the 11 second club challenge

These quick animation challenges are great! I feel like I improved a lot just with one month difference too

I got 22nd place with this and while I don't care too much about it I'm glad that I beat my last month place and I strive for better in november~

Little character sheets for these guys too:

Some random they/she girlie, I didn't even give her a name but I like her vibes. But idk maybe she shouldn't go around angering big, many eyed beasts, seems like a bad idea

And the doggie is a work-in-progress concept for a creature in my diploma short film They are the guardians of the Sun and the Moon
