tm9 chibi head things! - individual ones (and ramblings) under the cut!

before i ramble uhh i forget to watermark stuff so credit them if you use them don't repost them, its cool if you want it for your hoarde but i post this stuff basically everywhere so you can rt and pin it to your hearts content blah blah, dont be a dick and steal stuff ok?

honestly i have no idea if i posted these on tumblr because i never really *post* on tumblr but i did post them elsewhere so sorry for any sense of de ja vu i may have caused haha anyway tm9 but chibi sticker heads because fun fact i don't buy stickers, i would *love* to but i'd feel eternally guilty if they got damaged so i make my own that way i can reprint them. i just saved myself a hundred fitfy bucks :]

ah and regarding the particular lineup im like literally on the last hour of ep25 so if you're curious as to why things are a particular way or anything thats my explanation hopefully i'll add more characters yk thats the good part about drawing them also i can add to my collection :]

Artshield

I was going to flop in bed and try to draw from there, but the sudden swarm of AI shit on another of my accounts fueled me with spite, so I'm writing this post NOW rather than tomorrow when I'll be more awake.

If you can't run Glaze/Nightshade because of the insane specs required for it, give a try to Artshield.

It's a web-based app that will let you load all the pics you want and protect them with a big, invisible watermark all over it. It also has a checker option to use after you've shielded your art, to be sure it worked.

Now, I'm terrible with math so I can't explain how it exactly work, but here's the explanation on their blog. If someone who's more math-savvy than me wants to add a simpler explanation to this post, please do!

While it can't poison AIs like Nightshade does, it's still a good solution if you can't run Glaze/Nightshade on your pc... like many of us, really. As I wrote on another post about Glaze, I have a pretty decent gaming pc that, while not being like high-end or anything (my GPU is a RTX 3060), suits my needs perfectly and runs all the games I'm interested in (Tekken 8's demo being the most recent thing).

Yet, in order to try Nightshade, I had to close all the apps I had running in the background, which were, in that moment, Opera and Discord. Only when I shut them down, it finally started. 10 minutes for the mid setting and the result was awful.

I tried WebGlaze (not Cara yet), and the results were also awful, given you can't control the strenght of the glazing much.

I understand it might be hard to develop this kind of technology, but I wish they would meet us halfway since the majority of people use old machines, laptops (a friend of mine tried running Glaze on hers and the fans started spinning like it was ready to fly) or even just tablets and phones, so those specs are hard to meet.

That's why I want to share Artshield, as a solution for those of you who can't run Glaze and Nightshade.

Artshield's only big limitation is that it won't work with white backgrounds, so try to add a color layer to your white background before shielding it. Same for B/W images.

Other tips I can suggest for trying to protect your works:

Post at the lowest resolution you can: I go for 72 DPI, keeping bigger sizes and high quality files only for Ko-Fi rewards and clients' files

Add a noise filter: I always do this because I like the paper-like, grainy feel it gives to my art, but I read once it might messes with AI's scrapers. While I don't know if this is still true, it's worth trying it

Don't forget a big visible watermark (aside from the Artshield one)!

Hope this will help other strugglin artists, I never see Artshield suggested around, especially in posts about Glaze and Nightshade, so I decided to write this one.

Go and shield your art!

A Tsunami I drew to find a design for seawings. Also, I did not forget the ears. They are behind the horns.

Base below

Same rules as always, keep the watermark, you are free to make edits, and @ me if you make a design because I'd love to see your work.

For my fellow wisp Venti enthusiasts out there...

here, he in a bottle of pills (I presume) (also take good care of him plzzz)

This is also infact a direct (and long awaited) squeakquel to the infamous "please keep door shut the wisp is OUT" post, and just like it, it's soooo old that I had to get on ibis and change the watermark :"(

(Petition against Hoyos cultural appropriation under the cut for anyone wandering!)

Also! Don't forget!!!

Apologises for the tik tok watermark. I normally download the video before uploading it so I don’t have to deal with that thing, but I forgot this time 🤷

But if you have tik tok, do follow me! There you can really see more of my creativity in video form! Haven’t been super active as of late but where have I been active in the first place?

Also when I was editing this video I realised I had never made a Aaron centric video before. Even Axl, the man I keep on forgetting to include into the story with every AU I make has TWO videos. They’re old but STILL

Anyways, feast Aaron enjoyers! FEAST‼️

Decided that while this does kiiiinda have a different style from my prev Cyberpunk AU pieces due to more varied lineart thickness, I still wanted to connect it to them via using the same style for the speech bubbles/info stuff. (Since this is still in the same AU and story). Ava has normal human eyes in this AU since she's not a Fae here. I also ended up not adding a pattern on her mask, as I felt like her outfit has enough detail as is.

Also I FINALLY remembered to include my watermark on these. I made it specifically to put on my art but I keep forgetting to do it lmaoo. (Also noted that since the snowflake part is black, I can ALSO make a version of it that just has the eyes and the text, which may be better for some pieces)
