#Design Ethics

[meredithwillettkirby]

Internet, at this point, is a human right! It’s pretty much impossible to function without it in the modern world! It should be provided to everyone for free! The court should never take it from anyone! I understand if you need to monitor or filter some people but they need to be able to Google shit and use the apps for like literally every business! Also the government should switch from paper to apps for everything! It would be easier!

Web3 and the Dark Patterns of Design

Understanding Design Ethic choices as a way forward. Preface With the recent wave of “new” technologies that are becoming popular as part of the “web3” surge that is being promoted as societally transformative, the questions of ethics and design should once again be at the forefront of our minds. To be clear, when I speak of design, I don’t mean a constrained definition of graphics, visuals or…

it's complicated and ethically questionable

welcome to the world

can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle

it is once again time for me to win an argument, unless you all disagree with me, in which case this time I will put down my phone, exhale a short breath through my nose, and wade into the sea in an attempt to subsume my identity into something greater than myself. please reblog for a greater sample size and to inflict psychic damage upon me with your commentary.

caveats: no vanilla extract/both/neither/I'm bald, we die on these hills. it does not matter for the purposes of option 1 in this case what the universal imperatives are, just that (your stance is) they exist, but if you want to define what they are in reblog commentary I may then hold a deathmatch of everyone's definitions in a future poll because that would be funny to me.

Tis been awhile, but I return with offerings of ZombieCleo!

If Izzy could see Auntie's methodically plotted out ship board and see her filing system, I think she'd become his platonic soul mate.

I’m so flattered that even a single soul is interested in my WIPs 😳. I happen to love seeing the unique creative process of each artist.

Also it makes me feel less self-pressured to only post the clean pieces I’m more confident about. Also I’m mending the hole left behind from high school, when my friends watched my sketchbook fill up in real time during the classes I didn’t care to participate in (every single one).

One project I started recently is making ref sheets for each of the trc kids. Been meaning to do it for a while, to help with consistency when drawing them, but also because I love character design. Click for better quality!

Lineup sketch:

Also been doodling basic headshots to get their features down. Here are a few + some notes on personal design choices. Ideally, my ref sheets will list these and more:

(they make me laugh when I open up my sketchbook cuz they’re just there like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️)

Other WIPs: Going through old sketches to see if any more are fit for posting. A handful of Pynch stuff. Some rendered pieces I will probably never finish but maybe will post anyway, if I’m feeling bold. Layout of the Barns, Monmouth, 300 Fox Way, St. Agnes, blah blah. And arguably my biggest one, a detailed interpretation of Ronan’s tattoo. Its tracked time on procreate is over 50 hrs… but what’s one more questionable life decision amirite… I have crazy respect and admiration for tattoo artists now.

It’s been a fun challenge, albeit a tedious one. A sneak peak:

That’s all for now!! I think I need a couple days off tumblr. I like yapping though. Thank you for having me

I made a The Amazing Digital Circus banner of the gang from E3: The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor!

Have you guys heard of cactus leather? Seems like a stylish vegan alternative to leather. Seems sustainable as it is a byproduct of tequila! They also have something similar made out of fruits which would even work for hardcore Vishnu worshipping fruitarians!

Beast Wars Starscream ibis paint drawing bc I saw him in a starscream comp video and now I love him

Also speedpaint bc I can and this took too long (3 hrs) for me NOT to show. Also I want to.

[clownery-and-fuckery]

BTW I played mouthwashing and. ohmygod. absolutely beating the shit out of Jimmy. the symbolism and camera work, the motifs and the dialogue. everything about it was so horrific and so brilliant. Mouthwashing my beloved.

I love the way you draw lex so bad. do u have any lex headcanons question mark….

THANK YOU THATS SO SWEET!! Yes I have one Lex headcanon: he is my best friend forever and ever

I read the comic about 2 times and I feel like I missed something that seems to be very important, who is the unknown? I don't know where it was introduced or something, I feel lost in the current plot. Can you answer this if you have time?

Obviously I'll Try to be Good is this comic. But the other was called This is my World! or TIMW! for short. This comic focused on what was currently happening in the alpha! Timeline (or at least what was in the original split) where the anons meet and meet the mysterious creature known as Unknown. a strange creature with the ability to shapeshift that the survivors only know as Unknown or call it the beast. You can read it on this blog link here! I am currently waiting for a few more updates on this comic before I continue drawing that one (hopefully around April- obviously after the April 1st mini storyline day on here)

Either way- you can read about Unknown here! Don't worry, there will be more details about them in this comic as well, but its a more 'limited' understanding on them.

TWO NEW TARGET ENEMIES!

Peblo Stick Figure is a bit of a special case because he’s the only target enemy (as of right now) that can talk and form human thoughts. The Hedge-Bird tries to mimic this but only makes strange noises-

Stick Figure is also the most harmless out of all of the enemies.

Also.. image of all of the targets :]

(Their heights may be tweaked in the future- but Peblo is TALL.)
