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.)

This Inktober is going to be a little different. With work, responsibilities, and a lot of physical limitations, I’ll be sharing new work, along with old classics, and some previously made but not yet released pieces! Thanks as always for following along!

This piece may look familiar, it’s about a year old, but not widely released.

Hey, I hope you’re doing well.

I really love the photo you took of the Montana plains a couple years ago. Would it be alright to use that as a header with credits?

Have a good day. :)

Thank you so much for reaching out, and I’m glad you enjoy my photo! Sure, so long as you credit me, feel free to use the image as a header. Thanks for asking! 😊

“And it would be a lazy use of language to say that the thing that answered the door was a nightmare. Nightmares are usually rather daft things and it’s very hard to explain to a listener what was so dreadful about your socks coming alive or giant carrots jumping out of the hedgerows. This thing was the kind of terrifying thing that could only be created by someone sitting down and thinking horrible thoughts very clearly.”

— Terry Pratchett - Eric (via aeshnacyanea2000)
