Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
The "Tenebricosa Stare" is an intense stare done by a Tyto Tenebricosa, also known as the Greater Sooty Owl, a breed of owl associated with the Darkness and Night.
It has the unique ability to make owls go yeep for no apparent reason. Those who have faced a Tyto Tenebricosa say that their eyes cause pure terror to run through one's veins, which is partially why this breed is associated with the words "cursed" and "evil".
If the Tenebricosa Stare had a sound, it would be this:
Note: This looked a LOT better on my tablet. But you know what? I stopped working on it and decided to post it. I'm tired and not feeling well and you get what the artist gives you. If it's garbage or art is in the eye of the beholder.
art cannot be made by checking things off of a list every realized thing must be created totally holistically with the context of all of its other parts. there are is no magical recipe there are no shortcuts you simply must hold each piece of it in your hand and name it and love it and put it in place where it belongs until you are done. its the most agonizing process in the world. these are my midnight wisdoms
in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off
EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through
Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist).
As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)
