What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

Murdoc 3D Model Tier List

God tier: strobelite 

(gif by unclemudsy!) streamlined. smooth. wonderful simplification of the character design. murdoc is actually palatable and dare i say it, pleasing to look at. the motion capture is cool and he gets bonus points for his stupid wonky eye in the interviews.

Good tier: feel good inc. hologram 

truer to murdoc’s grossness, but still fantastic. high production value, very expressive and detailed. that dracula-style entrance. that ugly tongue waggle. that smug look on his face. that naked-except-cape look. love it

Okay tier: Clint Eastwood hologram 

he’s a little plastic-y and odd-looking, but he’s an impressive feat of technology for his time. very cartoony and sinister. really enjoy the creepy head snap.

Bad tier: stylo/dressing room 

i legit dont want to show this one in motion. the texture of his skin is hyper-realistically awful. his eyes are bugging out of his head. his proportions are so fucking strange and gangly. it’s ugly and not in a charming way. thumbs down

Absolutely fucking unforgivable tier: doyathing

this is the worst thing ive ever fucking laid eyes on. might even be the same one as dressing room (can’t tell) yet somehow worse in every single way. he looks like a dog with mange. he looks like he just emerged from a swamp. if there were a contest held for ugliest CGI model ever created, i would show whoever’s in charge this image and they would cancel the entire contest. affronting. repulsive. 

that being said, whoever sculpted this model has definitely seen murdoc in person

THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - The Siblings Episode!

kofi📍

Quick episode Idea I wanted to jot down for writing practice! They all have siblings, all with different dynamics! And just like the other NPCS, they only last for a day since they're a one-off episodic adventure!

(Gonna do the others soon, just in a rush at the moment uwu)

doodles and stuff cause the art isn't arting rn

I was trying to draw in the Gorillaz Phase 1 artstyle but I gave up

also TADC doodle so I don't flop 💔 I haven't drawn anything TADC in a couple of months and the new trailer for merch and TADC episode 1 leaks from Gooseworx brought back my interest (they made a new merch drop at the worst time omfg I'm broke)

this is NOT a 2doc post I will come after anyone who says it is 😐😐😐

keeping the sketch under my lineart looks nice idk maybe I should do it more,,,I clean up the sketch a bit when I post doodles so it looks nicer when I post lmao my sketches aren't usually this clean

also drawing the outline of Murdoc's eyes looks better in my art style than just drawing the pupils tbh :> this is my favorite outfit of Murdoc's ever oh my god he looks so cool

I didn't wanna draw 2-D's outfit in this photo cause I thought this shirt was kinda ugly 💔 so I referenced his shirt from the Rock the House video but I didn't want it to be a direct copy so I changed the spiderman to a star 🤯 (no reason just cause)

Drawing 2-D made me realize that I don't draw socks at all
