More art for pride month! Featuring @art--acherontia 's OC, Xasthur. I know you suggested Lotor but I couldn't resist adding Xas as well. Aaaand then I couldn't resist also adding my boys skdkdks

Versions with the two pairs separately under the cut!

The cuties!!! I had fun designing outfits that were somewhere between an Earth style and their canon/work (?) outfits. I need everyone to know that Xas' shirt says "[] Boys, [] Girls, [✔️] Lotor"

Also from looking at refs to draw Lotor, I now understand Lotor stans. He's really freaking cute 😭

Day #294920 of me not being able to decide what mobility aids would suit Daniel best.

Whilst I was drawing this I left a note for myself that said "Lance and Shiro have matching custom-made bi pride paladin armour tank tops" and I felt like that needed to be shared. It was Lance's idea btw.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

As AI art gets harder to clock, I feel like we are going to need to have a discussion about attribution and it's probably going to bum some people out.

Because the surest way to avoid platforming, reblogging, or encouraging AI art posting is to know where every image you share originated and that's 1) boring, tedious research and 2) extremely limiting in what you feel you can reblog. But if unattributed images never gets traction, people will start attributing their images.

I've been guilty of this in the past, but for a while now it's been my policy that if I can't verify the origin, I don't share the image. That goes for stuff like screen grabs of headlines too -- more than once I've avoided spreading misinformation by saving a post to research before I reblog, then seeing the post refuted before I've been able to verify it.

And I usually try to attribute photos I take -- case in point, the "woman with shrimp" post gets a lot of attention but not one comment about it being AI, despite it being pretty similar to something you'd get from an AI. That's because I clearly state it's in a museum and link to its catalogue page.

I'm not saying this to scold anyone -- I think yelling at the Internet to cite its sources is very much a losing game -- but because I don't see this discussed much. We're such fertile ground to be fooled by AI art because we've grown accustomed to not questioning the origins of any given image. And of course I also want to encourage both OPs to attribute their images and rebloggers to verify unattributed ones.

This is an old piece from December 2020 but I still kind of love the concept. Heaven by PVRIS is still on my Danashi playlist, pretty close to the song that I am currently drawing a piece for ;3

Reblogging this again bc this time I have commission info :D

UPDATE AND ADVERT

So it’s going to be a few days before I get back to normal posting, for full transparency my parents are on vacation and left me to watch the animals.

I work a night shift job, and I normally work on this project during the downtime. However I have to get a lot less sleep because of the animals needing me during my normal sleeping hours, so I end up falling asleep during my break time during work.

They get back on Friday, and I’ll be able to get back on track with this project. Until then!

I WANT TO COMMISSION ARTISTS IN THIS COMMUNITY

Specifically I’m looking for artists to commission for artworks of their favorite characters, original or fandom, featuring our kitties (matching the kitties based on headcanons for disorders/disabilities/things that fall under this project)! Basically I will pay you to draw your favorite lil guys that you like drawing as long as it includes a featured kitty tying back to this project! :D

If that’s something you would like the opportunity to participate in feel free to drop your commission information in the reblogs of this post!

It's me! ✨️

I haven't been happy w how I render for forever so I'm playing around with changing it. I think I prefer shading like this! It's less time-consuming than my soft shading style and I genuinely think it looks nicer too :3

OOTD from last month when I went to a vintage bookstore with my mum. It was great, I got some crumbly old copies of Homer's Odyssey and an Agatha Christie novel :D
