Happy Pokemon Day!!

"Applin Parade"

I drew this while I was hunting for a Jumbo shiny Applin. While the hunt was unsuccessful, I did bring home a plethora of shiny Applins to turn into Hydrapple

this is stupid but I genuinely worry that kids ARE being priced out of video games like. totk is heavily sanitized to maintain a particular rating that often works against itself but like, I struggle to imagine the kid who's approaching their parents like "one hundred dollars for a video game please" my biggest gaming triumph was in high school when my parents bought us an xbox 360 and one game. we got the wii as it was going out of style and played primarily gamecube games on it, and even back then to buy a new gamecube game or a DS game was a twenty dollar endeavour. what kind of slideshow does a ten year old have to present in order to convince their parents to drop a hundie on legend of zelda.

CREATE AMBITIOUS PIECES OF ART EVEN IF YOU DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF ARTISTIC SKILL IT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL IMPROVE IT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL ACHIEVE THAT LEVEL

Just had to explain to my virtual assistant what Ao3 was and why I needed her to create an account so she could send someone a message for me.

What is my life.

Also, please don't tag authors in fanfic of their work, even as a gift.

I luckily didn't see the whole email before I realized what'd happened and hit the back button, but even reading the summary could've forced me to throw out years worth of work if it'd been similar enough to anything I'd been planning to publish.

And nobody wants that.

I don’t think welfare fraud is a problem period I genuinely don’t. I don’t care when it happens and it means nothing to me. I’m glad. As if the government doesn’t steal from you every day lmao… I don’t give a damn

Glaze is out!

Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

This is a photo study of my neighborhood in the fall; I took the picture while walking the dogs one night. I added my Oc Noah for fun lol, just a simple silhouette.

Unironically, vegans need to be advocating for more and better sheep, llama, and alpaca farms. Wool is one of the best fabrics we have in terms of versatility, longevity and most importantly, insulation. Even wet, it retains 80% of it’s insulation potential.

AND IT DOESN’T SHED MICROPLASTICS

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.

I had to draw this as soon as I saw their new evolutions! Putting under the cut for spoilers.

I know some people are upset that Dunsparce's evolution isn't cooler, but I think its perfect! They're so big! It's definitely going onto a team with Clodsire and Appletun; I think I'll call them Team Chonky Bois 💜

Also don't worry, Natsume (shiny H!Zorua) is just motion sick lol.

Minior Shower!

Recorded my drawing process for the first time. Just wanted to try out a couple of techniques on something simple.

Trust the process, as they say.

[xxartmanxx]

I caught 2 shiny Zorua in Legends Arceus, so of course I had to draw them! I couldn't pick which lighting option I liked more lol

Bonus doodle with my pokemon trainer-sona Oz and her 2 zorua Tanuma and Natsume.

A Friendly Battle between friends, ft. The shiny pokemon we wish we had.

The final version ⬆️ v.s. and the sketch ⬇️

I don't actually know if he has a shiny Kommo-o or not, but he's expressed that it's one of his favorites. I'm not a fan of the yellow and pink combination tbh.
