#i hesitate to call it art

[zharvolk]

Another physically disabled writer here, one who has slowly built up a fraction of strength back after some health problems, and I'm also throwing in my vote with the AI Is Not a Good Tool for artists. Even disabled artists.

If you're into graphic design and electronic painting, there's software for that. Music your thing? There's adaptive software for that. Writing? There's software for that. Hands not what they used to be or were never on the same energy level as someone without disabilities? There are programs and software for that too.

There are so many ways to adapt to your needs to help you get your ideas out of your head and into some kind of medium. AI doesn't do that. It puts together ideas you gave it and create something from someone else' existing art.

You're not an artist if you do this and attempt to profit off it. You're just another person stealing and making money off the actual creator.

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

Why did you turn off reblogs for your cuddle puddle picture? :(

Short answer is because seeing the picture makes me sad, I'll just. Put the long answer in the tags

The Odd Lizard Pokemon. Pure Normal [1] [2 (not posted yet)]

They're based off of the Weigeltisaurus jaekeli. A reptilian species being dated back to have lived during the Permian period.

The region I'm working on has all to do with extinct critters and the 'firsts' of species. Or the earliest known appearance of a phenomenon (Flight, sea based creatures, mammals, ect). Thus here's one of the earliest known gliding reptile :)

The brainrot took over and so here's a vat7k hadestown au!! Don't know if I'll develop it fully but I liked designing it at least!

More info under the cut:

- Varian, the Coronan royal alchemist, tasks himself with deciphering an incantation capable of bringing the world back into tune. Times are tough, and the royal family + Quirin are doing their best to cope with the meagre crop yields and desolate weather (Corona not really being the sunshine kingdom - hasn't been for a while). He wants to help and do good and I think he'd be a good Orpheus.

- Hugo, having moved about from place to place, still has his interest in alchemy and does what he can to get by. He plans on temporarily staying in Corona before looting, but he encounters a certain like-minded scientist at the Snuggly Duckling. I think him being selfish works especially well in Eurydice's role, having a more pessimistic view of the world. It also works with how he gets drawn to Donella's offer of working for her later on, leading him to his death.

- Ulla as Persephone! I was initially stuck on whether to have Rapunzel (and either Eugene/Cass) as her (and Hades) but I was drawn to the connection that Hugo has to Donella and the Donella/Ulla relationship in vat7k just works too well. In this case, Ulla won't be Varian's mother. She's still gonna be somewhat of an inspiration to him though, being the previous Coronan royal alchemist and for her intelligence. For half the year, she'll return to Corona with food, drinks, and alchemical compounds/inventions, bringing Spring and Summer to the world, if only for a bit.

- Donella would be such an interesting Hades, losing sight of her love for Ulla, heart filled with fear and hurt, leading to bitterness and cruelty. Ingvarr being Hadestown and how by being the esteemed Ingvarrian engineer, she'd be in charge of major technological advances across the kingdoms and so would wield a significant amount of power (like how Hades is literally the ruler of the underworld). Ingvarr essentially being a near death sentence for its workers while also displaying its technological prowess, all still shrouded in mystery and corruption - a place so otherworldly compared to the rest of the kingdoms.

I didn't want to modify the outfits too much nor the personalities,, if anything I imagine the general plot beats being the same as the original musical/story but with slight differences that'd you get inherently as a result of these characters. I wouldn't want it to be the case where it's just the show but the names are changed. I'd want this to still make reasonable sense in this AU, with the actions being understandable for this particular cast of characters.

For Hermes, I ended up picking Xavier, as he's most knowledgeable of old legends and stories, which would work in reference to the Hades and Persephone myth (and so Donella and Ulla)! He'd act as a mentor figure for V, someone who can guide him in uncovering the forgotten incantation. Quirin would still be the good supportive dad he is (even if he doesn't fully understand his son's project).

Last but not least, the fates!! often lurking in the background, I'm still a bit stuck on who it could be? I'm tempted to have it be Raps, Cass, and Nuru as they've had celestial connections at some point (and ya know how stars can represent fate), but I also love the freckled siblings dynamic so much. Also Team Radical... Maybe Raps and Cass can be their normal selves but their Sundrop/Moonstone counterparts are the manifested physical forms of the fates? They wouldn't be visible to the characters though, just voices in the wind.

Anyways yeah!! Those are my thoughts. Do let me know if you've got any cool ideas or questions. I'm really combining my interests at full force and there's nothing anyone, not even myself, can do about it quite frankly. 😮‍💨

When ppl will create a "curvy" girl character and get pretty much the whole body's proportions right, obviously they're putting emphasis on bust/hips but it seems like it's being executed well--- except that they completely, fully, and deliberately, skip the stomach entirely. Just nothin there. Not even a whisper. I'm like. Just sack up, make it make sense and be honest with yourself by making it official and say it's canon that they got a tummy tuck. You cowardly ass, yellow bellied, wet brained, upside-down dog mouthed dirty bitch.

[catboythanatos]

oh i just realized i never posted my stobotnik collages here ???

they took over my brain and my journal

created by me ♡ with scissors and a glue stick in my two hands and yaoi on my brain. using various magazines, ft some stickers from the dollar store, & the black n white images r printed from a thermal label printer !

the last one isnt technically stobotnik but the vibes are related i think so it gets to be included in the spread

[spaceyderg]

Tried making a hair guide for Comic Miguel, confused myself after making a ref board and just gave up. I did write down some stuff I noticed while making this. Both ATSV and Comic Miguel's hair is a lot easier to draw with the lasso tool
