Been warming back into BG3 art after burnout with some super quick/dumb drawings-- @vixstarria suggested silly outfits and my brain immediately went to Y'allstarion and this dumb idea 🤷🤠

Having a lot of fun with these, so please shoot ideas my way!

Wonder what Astarion would say Halsin tastes like 👀

[spicybardjj]

IM DONE!! ohhh it’s been so long since I drew comics and to jump right back in with characters I haven’t gotten too used to drawing yet along with elaborate armour was definitely a choice, but it is a choice I’ve made so :’D

Do you think Astarion is still beautiful covered in blood? Karlach does, and personally I do too 😌

The last few months have seriously been crazy for me, with work, freelance and life in general. The flipside, I fell in love-- so that's great 💕

I really want to get back to taking commissions and doing more BG3 art but I'm warming up slowly with some low-pressure doodles. Please enjoy this dumbass Karlach doodle I did based on this post for eons ago 🧡🔥

Please send me dumb ideas!!

After burning out really hard in March and taking a break, just wanna say I miss sharing in all the lovely horny BG3 art and fanfics with y'all 💗

I want to start back into my WIPS / taking commissions again soon but maybe in the meantime, I'm thinking of just getting back into it with some quick doodles/sketches. So feel free to send me some BG3 prompts/asks if y'all have ideas 💖❤️💖

Tumblr AI - How to Turn off Third-Party Sharing

I had to dig through comments to figure out where the setting is and I know everyone's really confused in general, so here are some screenshots and info about this AI stuff to the best of my knowledge. If anyone has info that contradicts this with sources, feel free to share and I'll update this post. FAQ

Can art that is reblogged be scraped by AI, even if the original artist has third-party sharing turned off but the reblog blog doesn't?

The consensus seems to be that if the original artist has third-party sharing turned off, their art CANNOT be scraped through reblog blogs. However, it's suggested that even reblog blogs turn the setting off as it will still scrape original content. I'd also like to add that even if you're not an artist, but you get commissions from artists and manually upload their art to your blog, their art can still be scraped too so that's another reason to turn third-party sharing off INSTRUCTIONS

Toggle off Third-Party Sharing- Only available on Desktop For some reason, the option isn't available on mobile (didn't see this option on mobile myself and others have said the same).

Go to View Blog > Blog Settings at the top of your blog, NOT your User Settings on the left-hand side (screenshots below).

Go to Visibility, Prevent Third-Party Sharing for *username* Toggle on.

Hope this was helpful!

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.

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.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
