"I guess making AI callouts is risking your career" yeah, it should be, you're risking someone else's career making that callout, and if you're wrong, you should be fucking punished for it

white millennial dudes making news content for white boomer liberals might be the worst form of short form content

I just think people should make the fiction they want, people should consume the fiction they're comfortable engaging with, and governments and payment processors should fuck off out of this conversation.

I think I need a quokka character

There are benefits to being friend-shaped. 🌈

Man I kinda regret getting so worked up today. I think I let my emotions get away from me a bit, I think. Sorry for that.

Sorry to break it to everyone but artists don't have some magic leg up on identifying AI just because we know how to draw. None of the "tells" are guaranteed and most of them are just beginner mistakes that, surprise, beginners make a lot of at the same time. There's no point of authority here.

Laren definitely does. Gillian is too shy to buy them, but he reads/watches over Laren's shoulder. Max sells them, and his shop has booths you can watch in. Ripley's probably in them.

Y'all ARE gonna remember the names of the people harassing that artist and falsely accusing him of using AI when they inevitably come back in a month with new accusations, right? And you're going to remember their score is like 1 for 5 or 6 at this point, right?

I've opened up more slots for fauxtrad commissions! If you want to get your hands on one, go check out artistree.io/Rinzy!

fuck it, I'm still mad, why does every bad AI accusation have a bunch of people coming out saying "Yeah, no, I've worked with them before, they're great to work with," and there's never anybody going "Terrible to work with, they refused to do revisions, I think they might be doing AI" like ffs

I don't think most AI artists are going to bother defending themselves tbh If they're smart they already have 15 alts they're posting on, so they can just block accusers and then go about their lives, and if it gets to be too much, they've already got another account with followers ready to go.

yes, some people have weird workflows you're not improving the art community accusing them of AI, you're just making it worse by discouraging artists from finding creative solutions to problems they encounter

There is a strong urge to destroy evil right now. That's ok and a good thing. And when the evil is something you can actually touch and make contact with you finally feel like you can do something. Maybe we shouldn't be eating each other so readily though. uu

normalize blocking artists who have nothing better to do than be at other artists throats, especially when their follow count goes to their head and makes them think they're the arbiters of truth, and normalize reporting them for the harassment they engage in, too.

sorry for repost spam, I didn't want my testing to go buried in a thread to never be seen forever lmao

also note that the second version is lighter, because I hadn't noticed that a selection layer is created on top of the original drawing layer, resulting in a darker green in the first image I posted than the newer one that is solely the selection layer, rather than replacing that layer outright.

note: the colors of the canvases here may appear slightly different because CSP and color profiles and Windows screenshots are all at each other's throats.

In testing what happens if you paste a selection layer into a file, and then export it, I found that it simply exports a blank image. Safe to say Glenn is using them as an ad hoc way to get the same functionality as draft layers (which by default also do not appear when an image is exported)

That's all important because it appears Glenn uses selection layers to do block-ins, probably from converted thumbnails drawn in another file. bsky.app/profile/glen...

Note that: 1. The black lineart converted to a selection layer does not appear green in the timelapse. 2. Neither the orange cylinder or shape drawn directly on a selection layer are visible. Now, here's the export of said image. Again, bottom lines are black and orange/green objects aren't there.

...layer. The green thing to the right of that was done by CTRL+A'ing the layer, converting to selection layer (you can't create from new), and then blanking that layer out and drawing on it. Now here's the time lapse of that file.

Okay so I did some more testing, just to see what does and doesn't show up in time lapses from CSP. Black lines are drawn with a pen tool. I copied/pasted and then converted them to a selection layer, which are the bottom green lines. The orange cylinder is a quick mask, which creates its own...

TIL that selection layers are a thing and kinda cool??? I have no idea how I would use this in my workflow but it's neat help.clip-studio.com/en-us/manual...

you can tell I grew up poor because nothing stresses me out more than a dollar sign

if thinking burns calories then overthinking is just working out

Not really holding myself together as well today as I did yesterday. Lots of creeping dread about student loans and finances, tbh. Ironically, what would help the best is being able to hold myself together well. Just kinda feels like I got an email and it dunked me in the deep end out of nowhere.

anybody know why postybirb sometimes tosses this error for bsky? It just seems to happen at random, but if I retry it always fails every attempt. I usually end up just having to manually upload when I get it.

I really ought to add a required field on artistree for bsky/FA handles I can't go hunting everyone's down, but it also just feels uncomfortable posting without tagging hahah

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

I really want to buy a cheap bike so like, I'm probably gonna open up for more fauxtrad sketches today to finish next week And I'm probably gonna open up for pride comms next week~

mmmmffff

The most valuable skill you can have in a queer household is learning to read the room and knowing when you should be helping in the kitchen and when you should be as far from the kitchen as humanly possible

I'm still a little moist, but I'm also live! piczel.tv/watch/Rinzy

mm, that's great. ever taken a test before? a million ways to be wrong, but usually only a small sliver of correct answers for any given question.

cooling down and drying off from my lunch walk and then I'll stream some art today!

Gross, air soup

"no body shaming" means not shaming conventionally attractive people for being confident in their bodies, too.

idk what people are mad about today but it sounds like a lot of y'all need to put some headphones on and go out for a long walk without social media

Finished today's chapter early! Time for otter walkies
