I didn't make it into the top 300, but I had a lot of fun making my Pokemon TCG contest entries and experimenting with different styles!

Good luck to everyone who's in the next round!

You’re gonna want to glaze and/or nightshade your posts.

https://www.tumblr.com/salora-rainriver/743031690655596545/what-is-this-about-the-tumblr-staff-wanting-to

This is only rumors but

thanks for looking out for me!

thing is, a deal between midjourney and tumblr is unlikely and would be bad for midjourney. images on tumblr are already indexable, and likely already in datasets. going back to glaze/nightshade art youve already posted would be highly ineffective, as un-glazed versions already exist in reblogs and cant be edited or removed from the servers without doing a dmca takedown.

heres a good post about other issues with glaze and nightshade, that i think is a worthwhile read:

not as important but i (personally; its a contentious topic and i understand others feel differently) am not particularly invested in preventing generative models from learning from my art. if it was gonna ever happen, then its already happening, and im not bothered by it.

i was instead briefly worried about the future of this site, given the recent outbursts from the ceo and the likelihood of a "pissed off forum mod just shutting down the whole thing after a spat with the users" type outcome, but looks like we're in the clear :3 if anything were to change though: you know my patreon, i would be giving any relevant update over there

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still actively seeking out and using AI.

Once again.

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.

(Bold/italicized text: You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.)

Even if you’re just using it to make fun of it or show how bad it is.

Even if it’s only for your personal use, and you don’t plan on sharing it with anyone.

Even if you’re “just” roleplaying on Character AI.

If you are willing to justify your usage of a system created and profiting off of stealing from artists and writers, a symstem that is destroying the Earth, then you were never as “against that system” as you think you were. Being anti-AI isn’t something that exists only in name. You can’t claim to be against AI if you are willing and able to use it as soon as it benefits you. You can’t say you’re for writers’ and artists’ rights if you’re using the very thing that is causing them harm. You can’t claim to care about climate change and saving the Earth if you are participating in the system that is destroying it.

There is no middle ground here.

There is no “Oh, but I-“.

If you have the knowledge of what generative AI is doing, of how it is hurting people, and you choose to use it anyway, you aren’t  against it. You aren’t fighting against that system, you’re upholding it.

You can say how much you hate AI and how horrible you think it is, if you choose to use it anyway, then your actions and your words are not lining up, and the former reveals so much more than the latter.

Stop pretending like AI is something you can condemn only in name, while using it to your heart’s content in your free time. All it does it tells writers and artists that you don’t really care about us, and that any actions you claim to be taking to protect us are performative at best and lies or even outright malicious at worst.

You are—and I mean this in the kindest way possible, even with the fury that generative AI invokes in me—a complete and utter hypocrite. AI is not your friend. It is a tool, and it is a tool that steals from writers and artists in order to function. It is a tool that is using levels of energy and emitting amounts of polution in order to be maintained that are actively damaging the Earth. No matter how much you try to justify using it to yourself, that doesn’t change.

Stop hiding under the guise of being anti-AI while continuing to use it yourself.

Pegafin Realty Goes to The Manatee Kingdom!

As you may know, our brave realtor recently went missing when the home they were showing became detached from what the owners had assured us was a "foundation," and floated away to an unknown fate.

Pegafin Realty is now pleased to bring this 🌟 Breaking News:🌟 Not only is our real-estate agent alive, they ended up somewhere truly spectacular…. Spectacular with investment opportunities! 🤩 🤑 Behold: ✨ The Manatee Kingdom✨

After over 96 hours of tense radio silence, Pegafin Realty received an email from our agent—full of these remarkable photos!

After floating out into the Florida Everglades, the Fort Swampsbutt property filled with water and sank to The Manatee Kingdom: an unrecognized independent monarchy, previously thought to be mere legend.

There, our agent found an inexplicably habitable atmosphere and many friendly locals.

Sadly, the property was deemed "maritime salvage" under the local bylaws. It was promptly set upon by manatees, which each slowly scooped up a chunk of McMansion in their manatee mitts, and leisurely floated off to sell them at auction.

But our brave realtor was not deterred. For they had found themself in a land of rich investment and real estate opportunities for you and your family! As they search for homes to show, here's a sneak peak at everything you can expect, should you choose to make The Manatee Kingdom your home!

Bustling downtowns:

Historic neighborhoods:

Community:

Luxurious gated developments:

Unusual shopping opportunities:

Legend has it that The Manatee Kingdom is not merely for manatees, but built of the bodies of ancient fallen manatee titans:

High-tech industry:

...And many hidden gems.

AAAH NO! IGNORE THIS LAST PICTURE!!! 😱

DinoFolk Character Tokens, Part 2 (pt 1 is here)

Another 10 Dinosaur-Folk tokens I made for the D&D game I’m playing in, to fill out the world that Albert Sauros, Noted Spiritualist, comes from. In this case a world of Victorian Dinosaurs. This set of character tokens was made with Midjourney v4.

In your game/head, they can be any fancy reptile-humanoids you like!  Use them for character portraits, game tokens, inspiration for a new PC (or OC) or tag yourself, as you like.

While these are all modified with cleanup and compositing, these are all free to use for anyone who wants to, thus I have not signed these pieces to make things easier.

Prompt format:

a <either dinosaur or specific species>-anthro <profession>, 18th century clothing (or other descriptor), character design, white background, fantasy character art, colored line art, in the style of 1st edition D&D, <artist/style references>

For style references I wound up mostly with a Tony Diterlizzi/Norman Rockwell mashup.

the last 10 Dinosaur-Folk tokens I made for the D&D game I’m playing in, to fill out the world that Albert Sauros, Noted Spiritualist, comes from.

I know AI can be difficult to spot, but even as it gets better, if you want to know how you can tell the difference between true art drawn by hand and AI that was maybe rendered (a little) afterwards, look for symmetry.

Actual hand drawn art is symmetrical. Hair that blows off into the background on just one side? Probably AI. A necklace that stretches over one end of the characters body but not the other? Probably AI. Artists notice those details and will make them symmetrical, AI doesn't concern itself with those details.

The eyes are another one. AI eyes are usually a little cross-eyed or strange. If you stare at them, you'll notice mismatched pupils or more white on one side than the other.

I've been seeing more AI Lucien in the tags recently. I know no one in this fandom intends to support AI stolen from our artists (except for the people creating it and passing it off as their own), and I think just knowing the tells of AI makes us all better consumers of fan works. We should continue to support the artists who keep creating content because they love the same books as us, and whole-sale rejecting AI no matter how "realistic" you think it looks. It's stolen. I've seen AI generated images being passed around that were clearly fed @krem-does-stuff's art, which is a shame because she hand paints every piece she does and that takes time.

There is no skill, no talent, no love for the community in AI.
