My very own nasturtiums have started blooming, so I thought it was high time for the watercolor ones to do so too 🏵️ As you see, sadly, I'll be putting watermarks on my art from now on. I hate it, but what I hate more is finding my art reposted without credit or downright stolen sooo this will have to do ! I just hope it's not too distracting 🥲 Etsy Instagram

How long do videos usually take, when it comes to filming and editing? Say, if you put out a 1 min tutorial on something, what would be the (gods I hate to use corporate language) turnaround time for it?

Also, what sort of hardware do you use for filming, and software for editing? I'm always curious about the backstage stuff of content creators.

Always love to watch your videos, you're definitely a bard :3

This is a great question! It varies a lot depending on the video, but in general for one of my 'fantasy tropes' videos, the breakdown is something like this:

- filming: ~2 hours (including setup, warmup, multiple takes, fluffing lines, waiting for the neighbour's dog to stop barking, etc.)

- editing: ~1-2 hours (at the end of filming I usually have around 25-30min footage. The first run of editing cuts the outtakes and fluff and takes it to around 5 minutes. Then there's another run or two to cut that down to around 2 minutes.)

I usually make 3 edits:

one clean without captions that I upload to tiktok so that I can use in-app captions, but I also keep a copy of this in case I need it later

one with built-in captions and text that I upload to instagram and here, so you get the captions without a tiktok watermark (unless I want to use sound from tiktok)

One for youtube because their shorts are max 1 minute so I have to cut a load of content and re-edit the captions. (I could post long form but their long stuff is landscape so I'd have to film everything twice!)

- Finally posting: ~30 minutes (titles, formatting, tags, thumbnails, keeping the app open until the upload finishes before starting the next one, etc.)

So in general it's about 4-5 hours for a final video that's around 2 minutes long. Sillier/ meme-ier stuff is more like 2 hours

- but the biggest variable is research/ training. For some videos I already have the information and skill and I just need to check some things, but for some I need to spend time looking up facts, and digging into history, and for others I then need to go away and practice a new skill, which is all hobby stuff that I love doing, but it's still time spent out of a limited budget!

(Which is why I'm starting to look at some more commercial options, patreon, agencies, etc. Because I'm trying to fit this on top of a day job, part time pole teaching, and family commitments, and some weeks it's... not easy)

I do almost all my filming on my phone (iphone... 11? Pro?- quite recent, bought sdcond hand), with one of those grippy arm tripod things, and a bluetooth microphone. Editing is done in an app called capcut, and finished off in various in-app editors for the social media apps.

Anyway, hope that's useful! Glad you like all this stuff! 😁

Last night I received a message with a link to someone using ai filter to edit my art and make SecondLife edits to sell, and this morning I found an entire account of just my art being edited like that… I always hated watermarking my work because I don’t feel like it does anything, whoever wants to steal and edit your work will do it regardless, but to have Instagram Support tell you there isn’t enough evidence to prove it was stolen is absolutely heartbreaking… I don’t have the means to file a DMCA claim and cover the attorney fees in case their reject it either. And to add the insult to injury the thief messaged me from multiple accounts trying to get me to say it’s fair use.

I hate Google Reverse image search SO MUCH

It used to be good. I used to find the original artists for Digimon fanarts way back then like this.

It just does NOT work anymore. Only these 4 results showed up and none of them is my blog - it's literally the one on Pinterest I complained about, A CROPPED REPOST ON TWITTER AAAAAAAAAAAAAA GOD I HATE IT SO MUCH WHY YOU GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF BEING A PIECE OF SHIT TO CROP OUT THE ARTIST'S SIGNATURE YOU DON'T EVEN GAIN ANYTHING FROM IT and another reason why I hate Wattpad and keep my distance from it.

My blogs are NOT hidden from searches and stuff. Google just loves to give priority to sites that are horrible about policing or letting us report when someone reposts our stuff without permission.

Zumaandrockypupsfanatic is the only Tumblr/Twitter/X/Instagram user I have allowed to repost my artworks and they DO give proper credits.

I'm sorry guys but from now on all my artworks/fanarts will have watermarks OVER THEM. I tried to be nice for a whole year.

[happilyeveraftereveryday]

Ughhhhhhh I hate this all so much.

So I, like many, have gotten a few pms on fanfic.net from "concept artists" leaving an incredibly vague review of a fic and asking to work with me in the future. Example here:

But unlike most, they've included social media accounts, which looks kind of legit!

Except when you go to their Instagram, it's a very eclectic mix of styles and mediums and no consistent watermarks/signatures.

Huh, this account has only been active for a few weeks. Let's do a quick image search of the posted art!

Let's pick this one, which has both a signature and a date that don't match the insta post!

Oh look!!

An article about an artist, Jory Neff, whose name MATCHES THE SIGNATURE

But that's not all! I've found art with *multiple* posts on artstation with the same weird description by different artists apparently.

And the real artist's account, with many followers and art in the same style.

Multiply that by just about every piece of art, and you get the picture. I've reported them where I can, but it's all a game of whack-a-mole, sadly.

I'm not sure what my point is except frustration at the level of scams that specifically aimed at writers and artists and creators in general. Be careful out there! ❤️

[newendexcuriosity]

Hey, hello, hi, good morning, evening and night to everyone who’s stumbled upon my humble blog!

About me:

I’m Endex, or Endy, and I’m a minor who draws (i join the yearly Art Fights yo)

I speak 3 languages (🇮🇹🇺🇸🇨🇳)and understand 5(🇮🇹🇺🇸🇨🇳🇪🇸🇧🇷), I use she/they pronouns, I’m armonatic asexual and a snow leopard therian

Do please note that i don’t celebrate special days like Christmas or Halloween on any kind of social media as I spend all that time with my family

I came to [tumblr] after deciding that twitter and instagram were both too “aggressive” (in terms of viewers/commenters), i don’t really mind the aggressiveness towards me, it’s towards the others that really piss me off. But still- let’s set up some rules in this blog to avoid too much aggression

(intro may change from time to time, sry about that)

Boundaries, rules and interested Fandoms are under the keep reading thing

Personal boundaries:

You may:

- use she/they

- Make fanart of my OCs, with crediting (as in, mention who it belongs to)

- Ask in the box about anything regarding my interested fandoms or OCs✨👌

- ask to roleplay with any OC

- Tag/mention me in posts (if it’s not spam)

- Introduce me to new fandoms

Depends…:

- use he/him, any other pronouns (you may get corrected but I don’t really mind)

- ask about me in general

- use my OCs for fanfiction (ask perms first)

- Ask to be moots/friends

- Ask for collabs

- ask to draw anything that may be part of the "zero tolerance" list in the rules section (I may refuse some and may accept some, it depends on the script)

ABSOLUTELY NOT:

- use it/its (I ain’t an object man)

- Assume my OCs are yours

- copy/trace my art

- Take my art and remove the watermark in an attempt to make it seem like you made it

- Ask for irl photos

- Rush me regarding anything that’s a WIP

Rules:

- be at least 13, this blog can have complicated stuff

- Please treat everyone with respect in a way you’d want to be treated (this is a thing instagram lacks. There were many death threats in the comments)

- Swearing is allowed, but please refrain from swearing too much

- This blog accepts ranting in the ask box, though please add trigger warnings for people who may be sensitive to certain things

- please, pretty please, no NSFW. Not fond of that.

- Absolutely zero tolerance with racism, nudity, sexually explicit behavior, violence, drugs, abuse, threatening and harassment of any kind, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, hate towards religion, anything else that might fit in this list.

- Some artworks may be exceptions from the list above (such as violence, or gore), but the profanities mustn't refer to anyone in real life

- Don’t reveal your own private information or ask others to share theirs. The internet is a wacky place, possibly wackier that the real world

- No spamming in the posts’ comments, as in, not too many messages. If you want to add something to your comment, you can reply to your own comment to avoid taking too much space

- No slurs.

- Don’t use this blog as a dating network

- Don’t ask in the box any suspicious links. Though if you’re planning to share a link, please write in the topic

- Please refrain from making jokes that may be hurtful (es. “You’re fatherless/motherless”, “you’re so skinny you could become a tree” etc.)

Interested Fandoms and favorite character (from most interested to least interested):

(for context, I'm a neat freak. Green = will draw about, Orange = depends on context/maybe later and Red = won't draw about)

• The Pink Corruption: HOPE (fav: Cubical (and Pyrahedron probably))

• BFDI: TPOT (fav: Black Hole and Price Tag)

• Sound Space (fav songs: Venturing into the unknown by diamond, forgetting was my only option by 633397)

• Laboratory roleplays (most used role: Scientist/Scientist helper)

• Sky: cotl (fav: Seed of hope and Mellow Musician) ((losing interest)) (((to clarify, im losing interest in playing the game, not the fandom)))

• Murder Drones (fav: Beau and N)

• Doors (fav: Guiding light and Sally)

• The Amazing Digital Circus (fav: Gangle)

• Dandy's world (the game, not the show) ((fav: Pebble and Astro, probably))

• JSAB in general (fav song: FOX by Shirobon)

• Rhythm doctor (fav: Ada Paige)

Custom Series/AUs:

• Demon Slayer (fav: Kyojuro Rengoku)

• Creatures of Sonaria (just found it, Phyremias are so cute but the creature names are so hard to remember wth)

• Incredibox: Sprunki (also just found, fav's probably Gray or Fun Bot)

• TPC: a Ray of HOPE (fan continuation of TPC: Hope)

• Sky: Trinkets (fan series with my friends’ OCs and lore)

• Project Kazenkoi (original sci-fi series abt a gosh darn parasite infestation 500 years in the future)

Tags that are likely used are in the tags section.

That’s all I have, enjoy your stay!

(Now before you say there aren’t any OCs, it’s because I haven’t drawn or posted about them here yet-)

💟Reminders💟

Some things to keep in mind.

I am disabled. I am an autistic person, so sometimes I won't always get what you mean when sending messages. If it feels like the tone can be confusing, please use tone tags. Also don't be afraid to be direct with me, it's the only way I will get what you are trying to say.

I have many other mental disorders as well that I will not go into. Joking about them is one of the ways I cope, so be warned that dark humor is my kind of humor. This is why my blog is rated PG-16, I am not going to shy away from what I deal with on a day to day basis. Torturing my favorite characters is another way I cope, sorry my blue boys, and many of my posts may be more mature cause of this.
