Stars. I really do hate my art most of the time.

Hello Wormy.

Where did you get the name, Wormy? I just want to know as if is a strange name.

Also how are you doing today?

[imaginaryclowns]

Reblogging on my main too ♡♡

I'm still not used to Tumblr- but yeah this is wormy sans, wormy sans is by @imaginaryclowns

[imaginaryclowns]

Really hope I don't mess this up

Hello everyone!

Meet Wormy! Though his name might seem a little strange, it will all make sense in time!

Please ask questions - I'm really hoping to use this blog to better learn drawing so I can eventually get to making my comics ^^

[imaginaryclowns]

Hello, I come from Wattpad, I just want to say one thing..... I can hang Dream ^^

What is your favorite movie or series?

I'm not actually sure what the first part means, so I'll just move to the question! My absolute favorite film is Silent Hill (2006)! It's a psychological horror movie based off the video game series, but I was introduced to the movie first and fell in love with it.

The basic premise without spoiling is that loving mother Rose wants to help her adoptive daughter Sharon, who has nightmares of a place called Silent Hill (based somewhat off real-life Centralia). After their arrival, Sharon disappears. Rose must venture through the town and survive against beautifully eerie creatures whilst searching for clues to find her missing child.

I ended up doodling a drawing of Dark Alessa, who is one of the characters in the movie :D I will note that there is a sequel, but it was absolutely terrible and not worth watching. The mannequin spider hat's in it briefly was the only good part of that movie lol

Other movies we enjoy include;

Annihilation (2018), sci-fi/horror

The Collection (2012), horror

Siccin (2014+), supernatural/horror series [Turkish!]

Corpse Party (2015), horror/suspense [Japanese!]

In general, we gravitate towards supernatural horror or slasher horror films. This includes a decent amount of films from Turkey and Japan c:

Apologies for the ramble, haha, I tend to type quite a lot ^^'

Something I made while dealing with my own stuff and hoping drawing this would pick me up somehow. Maybe it worked.

FT my cat. His name is Mischief

[imaginaryclowns]

We are now up to 45 chapters for the story Reborn As a Dust Sans (plus an authors note for fanart)! I usually just refer to my stories by the name of the character, hehe.

This is definitely the longest I have been committed to writing a story. I am so thankful for all the comments and interactions - they have helped to keep me motivated, and have made writing this a lot of fun! Its also on Wattpad and Quotev, but I personally prefer A03 so that's the link I will be advertising here :3

We also have a little discord server if you want to come by and say hello there!

Its mostly just for socialising and making friends. I also stream games on occassion through the voice chats - we have recently played Undertale [true pacifist route and also hardmode], and Deltarune [ch1+2, pacifist route]!

[imaginaryclowns]

Another design concept? I kind of have a pattern in color schemes oops. I also liked this one in a magenta variation but didn't put that in the image.

At this point I'm just making random Sanses in hopes I'll vibe with one of them ^^'

[imaginaryclowns]

I want to do an ask blog as it'll help me practice drawing, but I want it to be fun and not too serious. Not sure if I'll stick with this design (and not sure which color palette I like most), but I thought it was decent enough to post. Thoughts?

I do admit this one would probably work well as one of those persona oc thingys,even if that wasn't exactly what I intended.

[imaginaryclowns]

First design for Oblivion (or Vion for short), who is one of the major gods I have planned for the Poppyseed Multiverse. He is technically an antagonist, but his reasons for choosing that position are complex.

His counterpart is Remembrance (or Rem for short). The two have roles that relate specifically to memory, but somewhat resemble the creation/destruction balance. Ink and Error do not exist in this MV.

Still settling on his design - this is just the first iteration c:

This was the first sketch of him. Think I might actually go closer to the original style here with the face, the digital one was a tad forced and I don't like it as much ^^'

(Please don't be too harsh, I'm still learning to draw skeletons ;-; This was just a messy doodle to give the idea physical form.)

[imaginaryclowns]

More 2 min sketches of @disguisedbee 's character Quill.

[imaginaryclowns]

Quick 2 min doodles of a few cool skeles that have shown up in my feed a few times. Will have to redraw them better sometime soon - mostly just practicing for now.

Ignore the one I scribbed out, I messed it up.

Forest Sans (struggling to get the tag to work, going to come back and edit post) (couldn't figure out the tag so I'm putting the link there isntead)

Quick 2 min doodle of thr mutder time trio

I just finished my first playthrough for #undertale. Of course, went for the true pacifist route - no deaths no matter what.

The game was beautiful.

I had watched gameplay for it when it first came out, I learned about a plethora of AUs and even MVs, but had never actually played before now. I never actually had a chance to experience it. And I discovered so much ingame - turns out I don't remember the old playthroughs at all.

It was even more magical than I ever thought it would be to play it. Everything was just so beautifully designed and written, and I'm so glad I got to experience it all myself.

I have no plans for a genocide run. It would make me cry, and in general, I just don't think I would enjoy the experience. I'd only reset for the sake of closer analysis of everything, so I could take heaps of notes, but only ever once.

Undertale was amazing.

I'm even more excited to keep working on my own UTMV projects. I love this fandom, this community, and am thankful to have such a cool special interest. I hope to post a lot more over the time I spend here on Tumblr ♡

Thankyou to everybody who has helped make Undertale so special, both creators and fans alike.

Too many people are willfully misunderstanding why artists are protesting AI art right now.

All they hear is "Artists are mad at fun new tool and scared it will replace them, so they're trying to take it away from us!!"

Artists are not protesting the tool itself. Many even like the concept of the AI tools, believe it or not.

We are protesting that it takes and uses our work without our consent and without any compensation, all while the companies behind the tool are making loads of money off this practice.

We're fighting for regulation of the tool. Not only does it scrape work created by artists into it's database without the artist's permission, private medical photos have also been found in these datasets. None of that is ok.

From the start this tool should have only been fed images in the public domain, and any artist work fed to it should have come from artists who have consented to it and who were then also compensated whenever their work was used by the AI tool. There's also other issues like:

Sites like ArtStation and DeviantArt refusing to place AI in it's own category to separate it from human made art. Just like traditional and digital art get separate categories, so should AI generated art. (Also some are trying to hide when they generated something from AI and try to pass it off as done by their own hand??? If you believe it's 'just another tool,' why are you trying to hide it???);

How DA tried to pull a fast one and first made AI scraping an opt-out function and said that dead artists work would be scraped because they weren't alive to tell them no;

How the companies behind the tools are knowingly making money off the AI scraping artist work without artist consent;

People are selling AI art with no regard that their generated image likely contains work that another artist created;

Etc.

"But humans take inspiration from other artists all the time! The AI is just doing the same thing!"

First off, it's not. And I don't even mean that in a "AI art is soulless and can never be the same as Human Art!" way or anything.

I just mean these "AI" tools aren't 'true AI' like how you're thinking. They're no Hal3000 that actually make decisions on their own. They're algorithms programed by humans to search the acquired database and photomash together a product based on a prompt. They're not actually becoming 'inspired' by anything. (And it's not insulting the tool to say this either!)

And that's not even the point, but let's pretend for a just minute that what AI Art programs do is the same as a human taking inspiration- Even humans are not allowed to take too much of another artists idea/work with the intent to profit without getting in trouble. Even if that 'profit' is just internet clicks, people very much still do get mad at other humans for copying another artist's work and trying to pass it off as their own.

And that is what's happening with a lot of generated art. It will spit out pieces very similar or nearly identical to another artist's work and will often even include artist's signatures or watermarks in the product. Because it just photomashes, essentially. (Again, not a dig!)

And I'm not knocking photomashing, it is used in the industry. And I bet most artists are actually fine with the concept of a photomashing tool. However, even when humans in the industry use photomashing, they have to use their own photos, public domain photos, or have permission of the owner to use the photos they intend to photomash with. And we sure as hell are not allowed to use someone's private medical photos in our work either.

We're only asking that the work generated by AI Art programs follow these same standards. Again, we're only fighting for regulation, not to take this "new fun tool" from you.

But unfortunately that's all some who are already enamored with the idea of AI Art are willing to hear from our arguments.

It's easier to just believe that artists are simply "afraid of change" or "afraid of being obsolete" and are trying to rain on your fun than to look at our arguments and concede that, "Hey, maybe this tool was implemented in a bad way. Maybe artists do deserve the basic respect of being allowed to consent to their work being used to train AI, and to being compensated by the company behind the tool if their work is used. Maybe we should look into more ethical ways of implementing this new tool."

No one seems to realize that artists would not be fighting this tool if it was done right from the start and didn't just outright take our work to train the AI without our permission. Hell, artists release stuff to help teach/'train' other human artists all the time! We release full tutorials, stock images, even post finished art for people to use for free sometimes!

The difference is that when we do, we consented to do so. It wasn't just ripped from our hands by people who felt entitled to our labor for their own gain.

We're not trying to take away your fun new tools! We're only asking that your new tool does not come at the expense of abusing us!

I really don't think that's a hard ask.
