Tw: Xenophobia, racism

Yeah this happened, if you show any kinds of Xenophobia, racism, discrimination, then get the fuck out. Cleary you don't belong in a community with multiple cultures, races, ethnicities, and languages if you can't handle 1 of those aspects. This is supposed to be safe and welcoming and Quackity and the team just introduced a Korean content creator to the Qsmp. So for people to blow up about something a Brazilian not announcing the Carnival soon enough is just balant racism and xenophobic. Tomorrow is going to be a day full of celebration and fun and if you can't handle that then don't watch better yet, leave the community and fandom if it bugs you so much but don't take out your anger on those who are just trying to live their lives in peace with the rest of us.

Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.

Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.

As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.

Like i said, anyone is welcome to save/put these banners on their blog, or on posts, please just reblog this if you do.

...that your audience won't hate.

This is a method I started using when NFTs were on the rise - thieves would have to put actual work into getting rid of the mark - and one that I am now grateful for with the arrival of AI. Why? Because anyone who tries to train an AI on my work will end up with random, disruptive color blobs.

I can't say for sure it'll stop theft entirely, but it WILL make your images annoying for databases to incorporate, and add an extra layer of inconvenience for thieves. So as far as I'm concerned, that's a win/win.

I'll be showing the steps in CSP, but it should all be pretty easy to replicate in Photoshop.

Now: let's use the above image as our new signature file. I set mine to be 2500 x 1000 pixels when I'm just starting out.

Note that your text should not have a lot of anti-aliasing, so using a paint brush to start isn't going to work well with this method. Just use the standard G-Pen if you're doing this by hand, or, just use the text tool and whichever font you prefer.

Once that's done, take your magic wand tool, and select all the black. Here are the magic wand settings I'm using to make the selections:

All selected?

Good.

Now, find a brush with a scattering/tone scraping effect. I use one like this.

You can theoretically use any colors you want for this next part, but I'd recommend pastels as they tend to blend better.

Either way, let's add some color to the text.

Once that's finished,

You're going to want to go to Layer Property, and Border Effect

You'll be given an option of choosing color and thickness. Choose black, and go for at least a 5 in thickness. Adjust per your own preferences.

Now create a layer beneath your sig layer, and merge the sig down onto the blank layer.

This effectively 'locks in' the border effect, which is exactly what we want.

Hooray, you've finished your watermark!

Now let's place that bad boy into your finished piece.

You'll get the best mileage out of a mark if you can place it over a spot that isn't black of white, since you'll get better blending options that way. My preference is for Overlay.

From here, I'll adjust the opacity to around 20-25, depending on the image.

If you don't have a spot to use overlay, however, there's a couple other options. For white, there's Linear Burn, which imho doesn't look as good, but it still works in a pinch.

And for lots of black, you have Linear Light

Either way, you're in business!

EDIT since this has escaped my usual circles, and folks aren't as familiar with my personal usage:

An example of one of my own finished pieces, with watermark, so you can see what I mean about 'relatively unobtrusive'-- I try to at least use them as framing devices, or let them work with the image somehow (or, at the very least, not actively against it).

I know it's a bummer for some people to "ruin" their work with watermarks, which is part of the reason I developed this mark in particular. Its disruption is about as minimal as I can make it while still letting it serve its intended purpose.

There's other methods, too, of course! But this is the one I use, and the one I can speak on. Hope it helps some of you!

Pac and Guaxinim talking about Cell. Guaxinim asked why Pac didn't tell him about Cell, or else he'd left his base to save Pac as well. He wants Pac to tell him the next time Cell appears so Guaxinim can beat the shit out of him

Also. They talked while Guaxinim was sat on Pac's lap

Scott Smajor in the life series is like. I don’t remember how to play vanilla Minecraft. I am a god at the game. I have one true alliance. I am allied with every member of the server in a series of complicated debts and trades. I am going to set up an elaborate trap that will not work the way it’s meant to but will still get kills. I am a merciless force of nature. I am playing Stardew Valley. I am flirting with every man within a five mile radius. I am exes with half of the women on this server.

UNIVERSE

Im so scared whats gonna happen if Richarlyson finds out that Foolish lied about the Federation threat of killing Richas because Richas and Foolish’s bond is so fucking special

In the first days of the Brazilians being on the island, Cellbit or Forever pointed out to Foolish that Richas’ leg is messed up/missing. Foolish immediately said he would fund/make him a prosthetic leg.

Foolish helped Richas set up his backpack and color it for him.

The two bonded over making Cellbits castle and they bounced ideas off each other.

Richas told Foolish that Brazil loves him and how special he is.

Foolish agreed without hesitation to be Richas’ Grandmother

They see each other as family.

But yet, Foolish watched Richas write “Please bring my dads back. We need to work on the murder mystery build” on the signs in the investigation room. And then go lie to Jaiden about what Cucurcho said.
