A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.

None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don't share.

I've started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.

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.

You have one super power: The ability to know without fail what the truth is to any asked question. You planned to help the world as a super hero. It took you six hours for the government to declare you public enemy number one and the most deadly super villain alive.

I love seeing all the 'mermay' fan art and fics, however...

I've also had this wish for a 'darker' mermay fanfic.

The typical 'species' are all ocean dwelling things, like orca's, seals, sharks, octopi, etc.

But I'd figure, like with all things, there would be 'collectors' that would want to have these creatures as exotic pets. And would breed them selectively for exaggerated traits.

Traits like flashy, bright colors (even though those exist in ocean dwelling creatures), 'fancy' fins like a beta or those gold fish. Basically, traits that would cripple them in the wild. Colors unsuited for their species/habitat, fins that made them very slow swimmers who get tired easily, gills that are poorly adapted for breathing due to a small size or frills, etc.

And that mer just so happens to end up in the ocean, maybe due to a shipwreck that was transporting them to a new 'owner'.

And they had to struggle for survival for a while, unused to feeding themselves or danger in general. Until a 'wild' version of their species appears, at first just to investigate the strange, deformed mer. And then decide to help the poor creature.

Etc, etc.

I don't have time to write such a thing though...but an AC version would be a dream to read...

I'm always seeing this sentiment of "I have got to make my art weirder" or people begging for weirder art but here's the thing, Weird is not a brand. You cannot rack your brains trying to figure out the "Weird" formula. You don't get weird art by artificially forcing whatever you think is "weird." You get weird art (and I think "weird" is sometimes people groping for a way of saying non-corporatized) by figuring out what you like, deep down, even (especially) if you think it's embarrassing and wallowing in it like a pig

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"
