Artists who refuse to embrace AI in their work are “not going to be successful in this new world without using it,” says Alexandru Costin, vice president of generative AI at Adobe. — The Verge
as they say, it's always morally correct to pirate Adobe Software. and with each passing month Adobe tries to reinforce their comically evil persona, now saying that artists that don't use AI will be left behind and won't be successful (as if being an artist guaranteed success before AI came and made it much worse..). and I'm done, I'm so tired of hearing the same stupid shit over and over again. listen up, Artificial Idiots — if it weren't for us real artists, your "new and crazy tech" would be NOTHING. It's all built on the work that was stolen from US. and you've got some nerve to now say that we'll be left behind? it's like saying everything that we did, everything that we painted only served one purpose — to feed your awful no-good machine.
and once again, happy halloween to everyone! this time I have my favourite mspa trio of problem solvers for you! I don't know if anyone still cares for Problem Sleuth, but it is my favourite mspa comic to this day, and I think these guys fit the holiday perfectly!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Mamizou and Nue couldn't pass up on scaring some humans, so when Sumireko told the residents of Gensokyo about Halloween costume parties they had to rope Byakuren in with them! The costume that they chose seems to be from some sort of a fighting game from the outside world, one where girls fight over an artifact that can grant wishes...?
Miko: Well-well, my eyes aren't deceiving me! You've finally went senile from your old age and began converting people to your faith by scaring them senseless!
Byakuren: Hey! We just dressed up for Ha.. Har-row… Haru… hmm. For a test of courage! cough. Nue and Mamizou both really wanted to participate in some costume contest that was suggest by that young woman from the outside world…
Miko: C-costumes?!! Don't you three think that you went a little overboard?…
Namusan!~ my greeting (without text) for the VK Touhou ASK!
some silly bfdi drawings made with pastel pencils!
[Image Description: Pastel drawings of BFDI characters. First image features Firey and Leafy holding hands in front of "Dreamier Island" sign, both blushing. The background features purple bushes and trees, mountains and a greenish-blue sky with clouds. Second image features Marker in a dynamic pose with an amazed expression. The background consists of an outlined purple circle and some outlines of stars in blue and purple. Description End]
despite the quality of my digital artworks, I'm.. kinda bad at traditional art, but this year I really wanted to change that, and thought that BFDI characters would be a great pick for pastel ::)
And the worst of the wildlife wears clothes and can pray and The worry, the wonder, for three meals a day Only death unimpeded, not slowing its pace Brings that petty, old worry and wonder away
[Image Description: A digital illustration of two character from the game OFF, The Batter and Vader Eloha, The Queen. The Queen is hugging The Batter from behind with a sorrowful look, her face partially covered with her white hair that flows around the two characters. The Batter looks up and away from The Queen, also with a sorrowful look, his eyes glowing white from the shadow of his baseball cap. Behind them are their add-ons — abstract lines and circles. The background is dark with deep blue and red smears. A vertical text on the right says "He loves you". Description End.]
My part of the trade with deadwdoodles!
[Image Description: A digital fanart of Enki Ankarian, a character from Fear & Hunger game. Enki is staring at the viewer with discontent, slightly anoyed. He's proping his left elbow with his right hand. He's wearing a black robe with a metallic decoration on his shoulders. His pale blonde hair is long and flowing and on top of his head is a halo made of a centipede. The background is half red and half green with spots of blue, on one side are centipedes and on the other – skeletons and bones. The artwork is framed in a metallic frame with centipede ornaments. End of description.]

Happy FULL ARSENAL update ultrafans! ::)
[Image Description: fanart of V1, a blue robot with a GoPro-like head-camera from the Ultrakill FPS game, standing in front of a red background. Splatters of blood are flying from the left side of the image. Behind him are a set of yellow glowing wings. The artist's signature "Burnt Ficus" is written at the top of the image. / END ID]
cute object show fanart is over (not really), it's time to spook you all with some realistic tboi fanarts
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
can you say that everything is alright if people enter your life as quick as they leave from it, leaving only a blur of various faces? silhouettes and memories of them combine into a misshapen puzzle – one where no piece fits perfectly.
Is there even a site left to post art? Seriously here i really like posting my artwork and creating a safe community why this app decides to follow down the rabbit hole of A! and ruin everything?
I want to be more hopeful that it won't last and get sued those who illegally use our pieces. :/
i think anything being posted publicly (bar perhaps on very niche places no one else will find u either) is probably getting scraped, which is supported by the kind of weak 'We Will Try To Stop Unauthorized Data Trawlers' lines we get fed - even sites that have explicit anti-AI stances like Pillowfort can't promise that ur images are fully protected
i'd assume paywalled sites like patreon/subscribestar offer a smidge of protection just bc the ai people don't want income to flow anywhere else than their own pockets? as for lawsuits, ye, i hope they tread on the toes of some other shitty corporation with an interest in protecting their intellectual property since they have the $ to throw at this problem
when all the platforms we post to are owned by corporations that are only interested in shortsighted financial gain/dont need to respect their userbase, this type of behaviour is to be expected... as i mentioned previously though, i have hope that the bubble will burst like it did w/ nfts, that people will realize theyre swallowing shit and it turns out not to be as profitable as the profiteers hoped (at which point theyll turn to the next exploitative grift)
since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it
here is some more info on these tools and where you can download them:

happy valentine's day my little wormies! text on the last photo says "will you be my pawlentine?" (believe me, the pun sounds much worse in russian)
you definitely shouldn't shake his hand...
hi gang so Uh...i need to make at least $100 by this week to pay off a portion of a gas bill that absolutely destroyed me and my 3 roommates. something about it is really fuggin wrong because it went from us being charged a reasonable amount every month by usage to over 4x the normal amount in only a 10 day period and we're losing our damn minds as we try to figure out what happened. im in an extremely tight spot right now because of time i had to take off work and with my part time gig over due to the winter season i need help balancing food and now *gas* this week. PLEASE look at my #art tag to see what else i can do, cause most of it ive already posted and these examples barely cover it. anywho here are my prices:
fully rendered - $30
flat color - $20
lineart only - $15
extremely loose sketch - $10
i will also draw your pet like this (below) if you send me a picture for $5
i will do literally anything except for nsfw, heavy gore, robotics (simple is fine but ask me first), and for the sake of time i will only do 1 character per comm with the exception of the $5 pet doodles. expect a 1 week turnaround time

https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KJPGVMFFPRMYL

hi-a, everyone. i'm a fairly new artist here, so I don't have many ways of bringing attention to this post, so reblogs are very appreciated. i'm currently stuck in a tough spot in life in a toxic household where every single day heavily affects my mental health. so i'm opening up commissions to save up some money for a way to fix that. if you'd like to get yourself an artwork like in the examples above – check out my carrd that has all the info, more examples and ToS. thanks for your attention. <зз
This world may not exist tomorrow, but today we live our daily lives
A Familiar Face

『LET'S PUT THAT DEAD MEAT IN ITS PLACE!』
originally I painted this one when Dream BBQ trailer dropped (it's partially a redraw of one of the scenes from it), i decided that it's the perfect time to upload it to tumblr since Power of Potluck dropped! (i'm also drawing something power of potluck-themed, so stay tuned for more ENA!)

well, I've finished up with posting Fionna and Cake stuff while it's popular, so I'm back to uploading my older works! had so much fun painting her robo-arm here.
golly, didn't think this little funny image would blow up so much. I'll be very grateful if y'all check out my more serious art too!
my awesome original AU where Betty's wish to "save Simon" is interpreted by GOLB a little differently and instead of her fusing with GOLB, Simon gets turned into a worm
she definitely still loves him ::)

As the whistles of the critters dim, it's a sign that the sun has slowly secured it's position in the wide sky. A dusk that will last longer than it's cycle. Selkouni perched down, shuffling away some rubble and taking a seat to watch the painting of the ever-long rays.
The light stretches lazily, and a breeze blows, as if the valley itself had sighed with relief and exhaustion. Now begins the quiet. A slowing down of time itself. As the inhabitants of the woods and hills prepare for the changes that accompany the resting sun. Measuring time itself - changes.
It no longer speaks in the familiar tongue of cool or warm. The grand elements are taking rest - now, it is for the small, for the crawling, for the growing, to account for their memories and wisdom: Some, count the changing leaves of an orchard. Some, smell the soil. Some, simply know, or remember. Some, sense the ever so slight changes of solar radiation to feel the speed of continuity.
Selkouni simply watches. They enjoy the striking colors appearing on the clouds and the sung melodies of the lively environment around them. When they'll be satisfied with their presence and their thoughts, they'll get up and keep on with their journey.
