The First Drawing I Ever Posted Online! Just A Little Sea Slug With A Love Of Swinging Dangerous Objects

but no yeah lets have the conversation:

"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED

"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED

Made a little comic about my little slug guy.

Oh shit I just realized I can post the “Gaussian Blur Wizard That Gaussian Blurs You” here

I was board, so I decided to take this quiz. I'm feel pretty good about my result.

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

Happy new year 2025!!!

I haven't done a whole lotta art this year, mostly because I was going through a severe art block. But this year, I vow to be more patient and not expect too much from myself. Hopefully, everyone can show more kindness to themselves this year.

This video took too much storage, time, and effort to make 😭

Ok, I might be dumb or something, cause I actually thought that porcelain thing next to the pot was a cat.
