Old graphic because this is a fast thing. I've got 1-2 slots available with this offer! My usual rate for a painted headshot starts at 150 so it's quite the sale! If you want me to paint you commander, tav, oc or whatever, I'm here 😤

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Hey, are you still doing commissions for GW2? My guild wants to do a group portrait, but a lot of the artists we would normally go to are on hiatus.

Technically I'm on hiatus too! But I was planning to open a couple of slots because I'm in a tight spot rn! So if you want to tell me more, I'm willing to listen and see if it's something I'm able to do! Feel free to contact me via mail diesvitaeart [at] gmail [dot] com and in case I'll give you my discord or other contact infos to better talk about it!

Wip of what I painted during the Guild Wars 2 Art Show on Twitch earlier! I got super inspired by the new artwork of Peitha for Through the Veil and I felt the need to make something similar with big boys Cerus and Deimos. Pecs don't lie. Now it joins my infinite list of WIPS. Sponsored by ArenaNet

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

Hey just so you know

If you steal artists' work for your shitty little stealing machine 5000 to generate ""art"" you are not my friend, you are not welcome on my blog, and! You can go fuck yourself.

Do not steal my or any other fandom artist's work.

I had opened up the GW2 Warp discord to troubleshoot an issue I was having and saw they had a channel for "free A.I character art." Immediately left the discord and uninstalled the program. Just so people are aware.

DAY 011/365 One of my oldest OC for the Eldritcheim project has been Hellebora, big beefy woman in a pact with an eldritch god which seems to be very onesided. So she does their bidding until she find a way to punch that giant eyeball asshole.

DAY 010/365

Wake me up, wake me up inside (I can't wake up)

I'm behind with my challenge because these days I'm more corpse than usual.

My own OCs are bullying me. What a shame.
