HEADS UP ARTISTS

The Web Development website Wix decided to join Adobe in the dark side & change their Terms and conditions to "grant [them] a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license" to use your portfolio for AI.

This does not only affect artists using this website to make their portfolios and demo reels, but online shop owners, commission pages, art galleries, game development websites and much more.

If you work in the film art or game industry and you have work under NDA or demo reels with your past works from existing film and games. EVEN IF IT'S HIDDEN, PRIVATED OR IN YOUR DRAFTS, they have all the right to steal your work and guess what? You're probably gonna get in trouble instead of wix for having them on your website.

I've used wix for 10 years but fuck them. It's time to jump ship to another website. Please make sure to remove ALL traces of your work from their site and spread the word.

I just realized, almost all professional industry-level software has very good native Linux support

Autodesk Maya (used to animate The Amazing Digital Circus, and basically all 3D animated shows)

Toon Boom Harmony (used to animate Rick & Morty, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, as well as a lot of 2D Disney productions)

Substance Painter (used for texturing 3D models)

Davinci Resolve (used for colour-grading movies as well as editing)

Even Unreal Engine is starting to get proper Linux support now that its being used by lots of big game studios and the Jetbrains software suite has very good Linux support, so you can easily get a full-time game development job at a studio while only using Linux

.. Notice how that list doesn't include any Adobe products other than Substance, which isn't even really an Adobe product since it was made by Allegorithmic and Adobe just bought them out.

If this doesn't show Adobe isn't a proper professional software suite then idk what does lmao.

Even Studio Ghibli's animation software (Toonz) is available for Linux, and its even open-source now

Here's a recent assignment I did for uni. I had to learn how to use Illustrator by doing a vector portrait. This isn't my usual style by any means, but it was a fun experiment!

I watch Doctor Who casually with my friends, and I really enjoyed Tennant's run on the show. Since I had to draw a celebrity for the assignment, I figured, why not draw him? :)

Adobe...

Fuck adobe. Genuinely fuck adobe. This is morally reprehensible. I hope Shantanu Narayen goes straight to hell. This is not the behaviour of a creative software. This is the behaviour of a fucking Trojan virus.

(Ignore the discount)

So uh, I found out that for some reason, Adobe costs about 60$ a month on the US, but about 75$ a month on Europe (Spain). I had been kinda profiting of a much reduced price 'til now of 20$ with one student discount, but I got notified they'd be suddenly charging me 75 dollars (67€) a month so i quickly unsuscribed

I'd love to know why they're charging $15 more per month for a digital product they do not have to ship or anything just because I'm in Europe, but it's not like I care. The fact I keep getting the most invasive attempts for it to sell me AI isn't helping.

Showcasing here: the first thing I saw upon entering adobe's page (about generating ai prompts), a picture of the software they offer (guess which one is the ai one!, and a random section in my profile giving me freebie credits to generate ai images with, which I can later buy more of to do more ai generation. I know they're desperate to justify why they've thrown their entire userbase under the bus for the latest fad but I genuinely their higher ups starve.

you’ll never guess which program i made this in

[tagedeszorns]

Adobe's increasing enshittification forced me to clean up my WiP-folder (in this case: They'll kill their cloud services that came with a subscription next week. In case you haven't noticed - they are rather subtle about it. I found it while looking for the reason why my cloud-folder wasn't synchronizing any more. Well, surprise, I guess!).

And I found stuff I didn't even remember starting! I mean, look at the guys!

I need to finish all of them! And so many others I found!

[pretty-pink-seaslug]

A few patterns and textures I stole from IbisPaint and Adobe and made transparent myself, no credit needed if using! (Obviously cuz I didn’t make them lol)

i fucking hate adobe's ai-generated stock images of every possible subject.

on the left are real images from wikimedia, on the right are adobe's fake images that were shat out by a computer.

So adobe is over.

I bought Clip Studio Paint yesterday for 50 bucks and I own that shit now. No more subscriptions!

learning new keyboard shortcuts is a pain but legitimately I think CS paint is more suited to my needs as an artist!
