pretty & cute witch men

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i'm not drawing as much or as well as i'd like to be doing. i'm trying to get through a comic i've been really wanting to do #but i'm just finding it so hard. disheartening. btw the 2nd one relates to some official art of qif wearing a dress like the girls #and the 4th one relates to how i've been drawing EXTREMELY SMALL for years. idk how to explain it but i always clicked 'fit to screen' #and so all my art EVER has looked bad when you zoom in bc it's already like size 1 zoomed in to the MAX pfhgguguhfpfhGHAHHHHH #i was so confused allll this time why brushes always look different for me than what they're supposed to #'wow this brush is so jaggedy..really rather jaggedy...calling it the Jagged Cai Special..bringing it out for those jaggedy moments.. #really quite jaggedy i must say...' and it's literally not jaggedy #but now i have to get used to how all those brushes that i'd gotten used to indeed look how they're supposed to finally. Alarming #I have simply been working out absolutely everything by myself for years and that's why my technical progress is slow #ppl say my progress is fast and i certainly have improved much since i began doing all this but #like..it took me a year and half to start using a program where i could Colour In The Lines aka the..whatever it's called. whatever.. #just on my lonely confused solemn journey to express gay love better than yesterday.. -_- *picks up my pack n continues through the snow* #btw thank you sm for people's kind words enjoying my narumitsu art & fic over the christmas & new year period <3

LIKE........ @ the prev post about armor flexibility.... Is That Why They Look Like That??????? 👁️👁️

Something else fascinating I found actually when I was comparing the Askr trio (knowing Alfonse and Sharena largely match, just a few differences here and there), wanting to get a better look at Anna...

SHE HAS BIG ASS BOOTS?!????? I. COMPLETELY FORGOR ....... it gives her a real sturdy look though. Hm.... (Thinking about what this means for characterization/how I'd draw her, esp w my initial impressions kind of. Being the opposite of this LMFAOOO oops 😥)

#feh #art ref #also something funny is actually looking directly at the official art for alfonse and sharena #and seeing that they do differ in little ways like that (didn't include the full boots cause i wanted to focus on the shoes) #i just. made simplified designs of them. made them twinnies. and never looked back LMFAOOOOO #and really it does go back to that OLD old gravity falls art i did where i completely redesigned their outfits #bc i think i was still somewhat new at drawing them and bc it was a whole comic i. couldn't draw the armor. That Much. #and in that design i gave them over the knee stockings. and that just stuck. in no way do either of them have that #in canon SHKSHDKSJSK (MAYBE w how alfonse's clothes are layered. that little bunched up cloth at the knees. #but even then that's still white fabric. whereas i like giving them both red socks. extrapolating from #sharena's boot/thigh window design i really couldn't make heads or tails of back in the day LMFAOOO) #also i will say. it is an extremely funny experience to have fe as a special interest. and to have history be one of my worst subjects. #i know jack shit and fuck all. on a surface level typically i would have little interest in this sort of thing. i love these guys though!!!! #and bc i love these guys and bc i'm an artist. i am studying the most oddly specific shit you wouldn't fucking believe #from clothing (a keen interest of mine actually) to infrastructure (i hate this.) to weapons (v superficial i just think its neat!) #to. horses. even. (i respect horses as beautiful and large creatures but i'm convinced they sense fear and i don't want #to fuck everything up bc this beast is like three times my size and i am. a little nervous. cool beast though!) #what being on the autism spectrum does to a motherfucker. #fe alfonse #sharena #fe anna

It's time to bust out my traditional festive icon, heres my standard "I'm changing my icon" warning so nobody gets confused ^w^)b

Happy Birthday, Alhaitham!

I wouldn't have guessed I'd bump into you two in a Sumeru tavern.

Here to give me your wishes? Thank you, it is indeed my birthday. I just hope that today will be as relaxing and enjoyable as any other.

The signature dish here at Lambad's Tavern is fish rolls. You should give them a try if you're interested.

If you stay a little longer, you'll see a couple of other familiar faces too. They're coming over from Avidya Forest, so they should be arriving any moment.

When there's something that calls for a celebration, we meet at the tavern — that's how it's always been with us four.

#genshin impact #genshin impact updates #genshin impact news #official #official art #birthday art #alhaitham #there is no keysmash that can express the emotions i'm feeling rn. #like you people don't get how much he means to me #i love him i love him i love him #he's literally just sitting there. i'm insane #my hands are flapping so much rn but he's just there

hi hi, everyone!

is this an excuse to use my new reply icons? basically yeah, but shhh. you won’t even see more of them for a few days lol.

anyway! a small warning, for the duration of the rest of the event, we’ve upped our queue to 8 posts per day! so if you notice us posting more frequently, that is why. 

we just want to make sure we can post everyone’s requests in a timely manner and make sure that by the 9th, there won’t be too many event requests we’ll have to deny because they were sent after the event ended.

~ mod diluc

#chat time 👋 #diluc ❤️ #i'm in love with how these reply icons came out #and a transparent maker i like made a new diluc pack since i made my last ones so yay! new transparents! #i also made sure to only use official art with these ones

Update for April 2024

I've been away for a while. I'm still in grad school and working two jobs now. I'm very close to finishing grad school (I'm one class away from my final right now). I'm so tired of school but need to hang on just a bit longer so I can finally graduate (!!!) which will be in August of this year, hopefully.

I post pretty regularly on my tiktok. I'm posting one of my novel projects on there as an audiobook split up into tiktoks. It's @vblavender on tiktok, if anyone is interested in the story. It's a 2000's high school romance between a bi girl and a trans boy. It was my NaNoWriMo back in 2021 (and I actually finished that one). It's called Like the Moon Loves the Sun and it's based on a deck of tarot cards. I tried posting it on youtube but got like no views so I've been putting up on tiktok where it's been doing a little bit better.

Whatever time I have left over, I've been spending with my dogs or playing Stardew Valley. Abigail is my girlfriend in the game. I'm not sure if this was predictable or not but I liked her the most so I picked her to romance in my first playthrough.

I hope everyone is doing good. Sorry for going MIA, it will probably happen again. :P Hope this spring and Aires season finds everyone well. <3

#I don't even remember where I left off on the reblogs #I haven't been keeping up with my reading either because I just started doing so many new things #I have a paper for my Romantics class and I chose to do my paper on Jane Austen #Persuasion and Mansfield Park are the main focus of my paper- my favorite and least favorite novel by Austen #I have officially read all of Austen now that I finally finished MP #grad school #tiktok #vblavender #my other page on here was solely dedicated to my art/writing projects- I think it only has the 8 bastards of Cedric St. John on there thoug #I'm going to comb my archives to see if I have any like the moon loves the sun content...? #since it WAS a NaNoWriMo there might be something #hope everyone else is doing good #I'm busy & I'm tired but it's been not too bad actually #mychatter

I have been on a Willy Wonkified journey today and I need y'all to come with me

It started so innocently. Scrolling Google News I come across this article on Ars Technica:

At first glance I thought what happened was parents saw AI-generated images of an event their kids were at and became concerned, then realized it was fake. The reality? Oh so much better.

On Saturday, event organizers shut down a Glasgow-based "Willy's Chocolate Experience" after customers complained that the unofficial Wonka-inspired event, which took place in a sparsely decorated venue, did not match the lush AI-generated images listed on its official website.... According to Sky News, police were called to the event, and "advice was given."

Thing is, the people who paid to go were obviously not expecting exactly this:

But I can see how they'd be a bit pissed upon arriving to this:

It gets worse.

"Tempest, how could it possibly--"

source of this video that also includes this charming description:

Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'

There is already a meme.

Oh yes, the Wish.com Oompa Loompa:

Who has already done an interview!

As bad (and hilarious) as this all is, I got curious about the company that put on this event. Did they somehow overreach? Did the actors they hired back out at the last minute? (Or after they saw the script...) Oddly enough, it doesn't seem so!

Given what I found when poking around I'm legit surprised there was an event at all. Cuz this outfit seems to be 100% a scam.

The website for this specific event is here and it has many AI generated images on it, as stated. I don't think anyone who bought tickets looked very closely at these images, otherwise they might have been concerned about how much Catgacating their children would be exposed to.

Yes, Catgacating. You know, CATgacating!

I personally don't think anyone should serve exarserdray flavored lollipops in public spaces given how many people are allergic to it. And the sweet teats might not have been age appropriate.

Though the Twilight Tunnel looks pretty cool:

I'm not sure that Dim Tight Twdrding is safe. I've also been warned that Vivue Sounds are in that weird frequency range that makes you poop your pants upon hearing them.

Yes, Virginia, these folks used an AI image generator for everything on the website and used Chat GPT for some of the text! From the FAQ:

Q: I cannot go on the available days. Will you have more dates in the future? A: Should there be capacity when you arrive, then you will be able to enter without any problems. In the event that this is not the case, we may ask you to wait a bit.

Fear not, for this question is asked again a few lines down and the answer makes more sense.

Curious about the events company behind this disaster, I took myself over to the homepage of House of Illuminati and I was not disappointed.

I would 100% trust these people to plan my wedding.

This abomination of a website is a badly edited WordPress blog filled with AI art and just enough blog posts to make the casual viewer think that it's a legit business for about 0.0004 seconds.

Their attention to detail is stunning, from how they left up the default first post every WP blog gets to how they didn't bother changing the name on several images, thus revealing where they came from. Like this one:

With the lovely and compact filename "DALL·E-2024-01-30-09.50.54-Imagine-a-scene-where-fantasy-and-reality-merge-seamlessly.-In-the-foreground-a-grand-interactive-gala-is-taking-place-filled-with-elegant-guests-i.png"

"Concept.png" came from the same AI generator that gets text almost, but not quiiiiiite right:

There are a suspicious number of .webp images in the uploads, which makes me think they either stole them from other sites where AI "art" was uploaded or they didn't want to pay for the hi-res versions of some and just grabbed the preview image.

The real fun came when I noticed this filename: Before-and-After-Eventologists-Transformation-Edgbaston-Cricket-Ground-1024x1024-1.jpg and decided to do a Google image search. Friends, you will be shocked to hear that the image in question, found on this post touting how they can transform a boring warehouse into a fun event space, was stolen from this actual event planner.

Even better, this weirdly grainy image?

From a post that claims to be about the preparations for a "Willy Wonka" experience (we'll get to this in a minute), is not only NOT an actual image of anyone preparing anything for Illuminati's event, it is stolen from a YouTube thumbnail that's been chopped to remove the name of the company that actually made this. Here's the video.

If you actually read the blog posts they're all copypasta or some AI generated crap. To the point where this seems like not a real business at all. There's very specific business information at the bottom, but nothing else seems real.

As I said, I'm kinda surprised they put on an event at all. This has, "And then they ran off with all our money!" written all over it. I'm perplexed.

And also wondering when the copyright lawyers are gonna start calling, because...

This post explicitly says they're putting together a "Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Experience" complete with golden tickets.

Somewhere along the line someone must have wised up, because the actual event was called "Willys Chocolate Experience" (note the lack of apostrophe) and the script they handed to the actors about 10 minutes before they were supposed to "perform" was about a "Willy McDuff" and his chocolate factory.

As I was going through this madness with friends in a chat, one pointed out that it took very little prompting to get the free Chat GPT to spit out an event description and such very similar to all this while avoiding copyrighted phrases. But he couldn't figure out where the McDuff came from since it wasn't the type of thing GPT would usually spit out...

Until he altered the prompt to include it would be happening in Glasgow, Scotland.

You cannot make this stuff up.

But truly, honestly, I do not even understand why they didn't take the money and run. Clearly this was all set up to be a scam. A lazy, AI generated scam.

Everything from the website to the event images to the copy to the "script" to the names of things was either stolen or AI generated (aka stolen). Hell, I'd be looking for some poor Japanese visitor wandering the streets of Glasgow, confused, after being jacked for his mascot costume.

HE LIVES IN THE WALLS, Y'ALL.
