#diffuse effect

Worksheet 1 - Shape

Inspired by the playful combination of blue and orange colors, so I created four images using dots, ellipses, rectangles, and lines,..

In the 1st image, I applied Motion blur and Gaussian blur to soften and blur the outline of the circle. I also used the liquify tool to create a wave effect by adjusting the curves in the circle.

In the 2nd image, I added more ellipses by using a gradient (from orange to transparent) in an angled style. I also gave each ellipse a different rotation and position to make this artwork.

In the 3rd image, I added several rectangles with gradients and adjusted the opacity from the outside to the center to emphasize the central area.

In the 4th image, I created an ellipse and applied Gaussian blur and Outer glow to soften it. Then, I adjusted the scatter and size to create a suitable brush for a diffuse effect.

Friend requested her, figured you all might as well see how she turned out. As you can see, only a few of them accurately have the mask opaque.

machine generation is a medium, one that is both faster and more erratic than drawing or baking. if you could bake with a text prompt + other parameters it would still be personalized enough to count as you having made it. robots and programs can't create things, only people controlling them can. if it wouldn't exist without your input, you made it.

i'm getting really sick of the idea that ai generation is effortless and completely hands off. you know what that leads to? complete devaluation of the labor that DOES go into maintaining and utilizing these programs. it's a perfect setup for a horrifically underpaid underclass of workers that churn out the artistic sludge of the world. cat's out of the bag, accept ai as real art and real work or contribute to labor inequality.

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

Sometimes people tell me I'm a nice person, or tell me good things about myself of that nature, and even though I've heard it so many times, many times I end up just fumbling my words and saying something weird.

It most often means something to me to hear that from someone because it's a reminder that I am still me, and I am effectively doing me. I'm literally just being myself, and I don't know. I suppose part of the reason I might go out of my way at times is because the world is so fucking depressing.

I want to make things a tiny bit more pleasant, even if it's only for a small group of people out of billions, for small fleeting moments...this is why I feel like I *have* to tell people nice things at times because if I don't I might as well be dead. That's dramatic. No one's holding a gun to my head. I just live for being able to have positive impacts to stimulate good chemicals for people, I guess. If I have a bit of care for someone, I don't want them to be sad. Even if they aren't sad, it can't hurt to highlight something nice when an opportunity presents itself.

I've actually kicked myself many times in reflecting on moments where I could have done or said something, or simply just been nicer, or not as bothered about something. There are people who I've come across, and while I did nothing to hinder them, I did see that something was wrong..and I'd thought to say hello to them, to sit with them through whatever was happening for them to be troubled, and I hesitated because I didn't know them, and they didn't me. We were strangers. Yet we were familiar with each other in passing and sharing the same spaces here and there, maybe exchanging words or sharing a small moment. I can't blame myself for this. But, some of them have taken their own lives. I wish I'd said hello. I wish I'd warmed their hearts a little. I wish I'd known to address their stress so they might not have felt alone.

So yea...I probably weird people out. When I was a kid, most people - especially girls and women - were all SUPER nice to me. Always had good things to say to me about me, and I didn't understand it or where it was coming from. Lots of crushes, lots of adoration, lots of attention that just flocked to me. I didn't get it. Just a dumb kid, yet to make connections about social cues and recognize that I'm not just an ant with zero impact or consequence on my environment (even an ant can have an impact). But, whatever it was I was doing (whatever manner of person I was at the time), it made them smile, and they wanted to tell me about that and appreciate me. I was beloved.

I wish I understood it better at the time so I could have been even better for all of them. A "if I knew then what I know now" scenario. Anyway, I say that in good faith. It's not to gain anything - it's to give back for all the sweetness and kind treatments and just making me feel safe and comfortable. I really didn't understand. So many times someone'd do something for me or say something to me, and all I could think to say was "thank you." But, I really truly meant it every single time. I rarely forgot my manners, and they weren't just manners. It was genuine gratitude for their grace upon my being, and I was just too dumb to think of something nice to say back. Sometimes, there wasn't always something nice I could do. But, to say something...there's always something!

So, in recognizing how the world is to women..and how I was raised, I just really want give back in trying to let ladies know that they are sweet, they are dear, they are cherishable, they are precious, they are powerful, they're so smart, and that they have such a positive impact on the world (even if it's just having a special bond with a cat, or baking a magnificent pie, or writing some neat fanfiction, list goes on). I want them to see that others can see the good in them, and the good things they have going for them.

So anyway, I'm not out here trying to be weird. I'm just doing what feels right for me, and perhaps for others. There's never any expectation for return on any of what I do or say. But, it's so lovely when it happens, and I'm thankful for the reminders that I'm still very much myself, like when I was a kid that was able to make so many people smile or maybe at least feel a grain of goodness. I really was beloved, and it was an honour I will never forget.
