EYES ON THE CALIFORNIA ONLINE AGE VERIFICATION BILL-AB3080

This is an ammendment to an already existing Californian law to prevent minors from purchasing items that are illegal to sell to minors, including alcohol, porn, tobacco, fireworks and the like. You can take a look at the most recent text here

Now, whats wrong with that ? It's important to protect minors!! Which is absolutely true!

However the issue here resides in the fact that websites selling such products will require adults to submit their ID to access their websites and purchase what they want.

And with data breaches being more and more frequent recently, this is a recipe for disaster.

It could also target sites such as Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans(etc) which, people already submit their credit card to buy what they want already.

This would give a huge blow to Californian businesses and have **a ripple effect on the Internet in the US since a lot of tech companies are within California.**

There needs to be a better privacy law before any age verification bills can be actually effective and properly protect minors and privacy for everyone.

Remember the UK age verification bill ? Minors are already in danger because of having to show their ID due to data leaks.

There are also many other issues with AB3080 that you NEED to keep in mind too :

No guarantee of personal privacy when submitting for Age verification when purchasing and ID protection after purchase. Who handles the ID? What ensures it is not held indefinitely, putting it at risk of a potential data breach?

The definition of what defines “harmful to minors” is too vague and overly broad to interpretation and could be abused and exploited in case of a political party change in California.

The 1/3rd provision is another over reach. Who will define what is porn? Are sales defined as direct sales or links to another site? It’s too broad and can be abused.

Fiscal impact has the potential of a loss of online sales tax revenue and drive businesses out of California.

Which is why, I AM URGING YOU TO CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO !

Use this to contact your reps, it’s fast to use and there is a script for inspiration.

Find your reps:

Send faxes to your reps with this:

Make sure to emphasize this will be bad for the economy of California, especially since California is ona tight budget this year.

If you try to contact them and it doesnt work, that must be because you’re not in Cali, that's ok, as you should sitll make posts about this using the tags #AB3080 and #NoOnAB3080

Please also note, notorious anti-LGBTQIA religious groups are behind the authoring of the language of this bill, primarily NCOSE & EXODUS CRY.

PLEASE REBLOG !

Hii!! I love your art so so much! I was wondering if you have any tips on how to design ancients? If you do I'd be incredibly grateful!!

thank you!!! here's my thought process when drawing ancients, hope you find something useful in it!

i have a pureref board with some images i got from the game files, such as these murals:

they're incredibly helpful for referencing ancient fashion, anatomy, and just as inspiration in general.

however, their masks are never truly shown; unless you count a specific ad projection, which is what actually inspired me to start drawing ancients:

it's probably a joke like most ad projections, but i found it quite helpful!

now for actually designing and drawing them...

messing around with basic shapes is a fun way to think about the masks. and then you can accessorize forever

i don't have much to say here; this probably depends on how you want to stylize their anatomy. i don't draw them the same way i would draw people, their proportions kind of resemble those of cartoon characters? with double chests as well

now for another fun part!

the unholy combination of streetwear and ceremonial armor! and probably my favorite part.

have fun!

May I ask you for how you go about designing the ancients masks?

i talked about how i draw ancients in general here. basically, look at the in game murals for inspiration. designing the masks themselves is kind of like a puzzle. pick your main shape for the head and try to fill it in with smaller shapes, trying to keep in mind what the wearer might need (holes for the eyes, something to let the "hair" out in the back, etc)
