Egg-eating snakes do break the eggs! In fact, they actually have special sharp protrusions along the bottom of their vertebrae that they drive into the egg to crack it! Very cool very neat

I've had my sweet little 3DS since the original launch. I carried it everywhere, and still sometimes do. I had a streetpass list so incredibly long. Istg I would give so much just to get one more new streetpass from somebody I've never met. It has been an age. This post is making me feel so old lmao.

since the 3ds/2ds is experiencing a revival with how custom firmware is more accessible than ever can we just like. make a collective vow to bring back streetpass in 2024. everybody go outside NOW

Beautiful Sphinx moth I spotted not too long ago. I wish my phone took better pictures of small things but I'll take it.

Proportions are a little weird ngl, but I think it turned out okay. New episode was a banger.

Aw hell yeah, screw ai, get that out of here

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.)

Ey Tumblr, I'm back, and this time I drew a duck.

Last post for a long time, I’m not getting anywhere here. Might come back in a year or two when my art is a bit better, might not, who knows.

Was bored, figured I’d try something new and redrew this screenshot from The Isle, turned out pretty alright I think.

Hornbill but if it was more dragon like, testing out overlay settings and whatnot, turned out pretty good, I still can’t draw feet.

Trying to get better at using highlights.
