Hi! I love your art it’s one of the reasons I got back into doing art again, is there anything you wish you’d known/learnt artwise earlier?

aww thank you !! definitely, backgrounds and perspectives I wish I was better practiced at those ^ U ^ and don't go to art school lol they don't teach you anything you can't learn for free or waaaaaay cheaper online better to pay for a $200 specialized course online the 80k at a school lol

Is Olly the type to get attached to anyone who shows him kindness? Or general concern for his well being?

YES, that's how Olly and Trish met/ended up together she was nice to him and then... she couldn't get rid of him. he's clingy. I think not getting a lot of affection from Janis made him desperate for any kind of affection from other people. he's seeking approval so he has a lot of female friends and a lot of "mom /older sister" types around him. He was that one kid in kindergarten who always wanted to hold the teacher's hand, clinging to her and asking for hugs ha I think that's also why he was so easy to con into joining the 13 coffins he wants that familial bond lol but a gang is def dumb place to seek that

sketch layer and refs I fix a bunch of proportion mistakes in the clean line layer

[ursuladecayart]

Hey umm as a novice artist I was curious... how do you draw using references? I wanted to use real life references more in my art and well just wondering how you do it!!! Also i really really love your art and you've been such an inspiration to me!! ❤️❤️❤️ (〃＾▽＾〃)

like using refs to draw people? best way is to simplify everything into shapes example eyes are circles nose is a triangle make every part into a basic shape then come back and add details after slowly cleaning it up bit by bit, layers are your friend ( sorry the sound in this vid is so scuffed I had a broken mic and a fire alarm beep in the bg hahahaha ) thanks!!

FYI, since I’ve seen this flagged by others—the anons asking “how would you describe your art style” are probably trolling for AI prompts.

>____________> good thinking <3

[ursuladecayart]

Could you share your art process sometime?

sure! I post videos on youtube of that <3

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
