I like to think of tumblr as a place that values it's creatives, but it baffles me how even here, people still somehow think it's ok to "post first, ask me to take it down later". In what way is that ok?

My time spent on instagram made me realize how much this practice sucked, and how pinterest is the worst of it. But even here, people still do it. I love art, i love seeing art, but i don't like how it is carted around and posted so carelessly. Please ask permission from artists EVERY TIME before you go and share their work on another site. And if they dont answer? Too damn bad. Respect their art and their choices.

#the first time my art was reposted on instagram it was *before i had even posted it there myself* and i was heartbroken #the worst part is when these accounts receive much more attention than what you share. #how are you supposed to know that people enjoyed it? it's just all messed up #im burning pinterest to the ground at this point. if you repost art there you are public enemy no. 1 #sourcing art has become a skill i never knew i would need. please for the love of god stop following accounts that do this #i want to find artists just as much as anyone but i think that skipping the consent part is unacceptable #do better tumblr... for your artists

re:hbomberguy, on the topic of citing sources, i want to say:

it is insane how many people on here don't even click the sources op links on their own post to learn more and just hit reblog saying "oh my i didn't know about this thank you for teaching me!". like guys CLICK THE LINK!! CHECK THE NOTES!!! CHECK THE SOURCE!.... i swear half the time the link is dead or takes you to a nonsense page (i see this a lot with art specifically???? and excerpts from magazines??) and some times the linked source disproves a claim the very post that linked it made and people just. don't bother to check, no one bothers to even reblog saying "hey that link is dead! here's a new, working link!" or "hey that link doesn't work, can you link the source again?" and when it comes to misinformation people just share without checking or looking at the notes where numerous people will (in the best case scenario) already be pointing out the misinformation

"OH BUT I CAN'T CHECK EVERYTHING I SEE ON THE INTERNET" there is a surefire way to prevent spreading this kind of stuff even if you don't have the time to fact check immediately. just accept it's fine to save a post for later if you can't look deeper into it right now!!!!! literally just reblog it in private or save the post as a draft so you can come back to it later and check. it won't kill you and in fact it will actually make your life a lot better lol

#hbomberguy #misinformation #plagiarism #adding those for reach honestly because im kinda pissed rn #heres some more on citing sources for this week! sometimes people cite sources and THEY DON'T EXIST. it is REALLY frustrating #people do this to PRETEND they linked to the original artist a lot here on tumblr when theyre actually linking 1- nothing or 2- google imgs #it drives me INSANE #and sometimes they will add “source: xyz magazine” and then you go look for it and there is no available source. its just a loop of- #one person quoting another on where the source came from and none of them actually checked the source #ALSO sometimes journalists will do this kind of crazy bullshit where they quote something from wikipedia thinking the wiki source is real- #and it turns out to not align with the statement in the wiki and so the journalist claims that without checking or sourcing and then #other news sources will quote the journalist on that cyclically up until the point where the journalist that used wikipedia as a source- #becomes a source for wikipedia #'confirming' the statement that actually came from there in the first place #there is a name for this phenomenom but i cant remember it if i find it i'll reblog with an addition #sorry if you saw this before i deleted it to word it better

Nowadays trying really fucking hard to teach to my brain that it's okay and better to "just do 10 min of this task" even if it means leaving it unfinished (but further along than before!) rather than not doing it "because when I do it I should do it all" Because jfc I can't keep leaving my house in states where I need to do 30+ minutes of dishes instead of just... doing a little everyday and at least it remains a manageable amount in the sink even if it's not always emptied...

#it's hard but i'm doing my best #im using housekeep chores as an example bc it's an easy one but really this is for everything in my life rn #better draw 10 minutes than none at all #better practise for my driving license 10 minutes than none at all #because I VERY rarely actually get the cross of energy AND motivation to do “a whole task” #rn my brain hates not doing a whole task but i'm sure with practise it'll become easier to feel rewarded for doing just a bit #at least future me thanks me every fucking time so yknow #i just have to practise enough so it doesn't feel like i'm forcing myself everytime #bc starting is always the hardest part #and even if i stop AT LEAST I DID 10 MINUTES OF THE THING SO IT'S NOT STAGNATING HOLY SHIT #i wish i was a functioning human :) #or at least a functioning artist that enjoyed drawing for 4 hours straight after work lmao #beary talk #beary ramble #beary life

been wanting to make a new one of these for several reasons and am very proud of myself for having finished without issue :)

#kris draws #personal #existential ocd is a BIIITCCHH esp when it seeps into your identity and ultimately becomes depersonalization #i remember i used to get really upset looking at my old meet the artist bc it'd just trigger things all over again but #i'm doing a lot better!!! and i was actually able to enjoy drawing this! #im still not perfect but being able to draw myself and who i am/what i like without caving into compulsive thought loops is very exciting : #sorry dont mind me rambling jhsdjfgskhd

Damn das crazy @topsytop347 can't believe how good the AI generation of Clip Studio Paint timelapses was back in 2022, even showcasing characters drawn in each separate layer!

Anyways, don't baselessly accuse random small artists' work of being AI generated, not only do you look silly as hell but you also give a platform for people who hate artists to further bully folks for having specific styles (that were all fed into bots! Literally not their fucking fault their style was stolen!) or for just simply having imperfections in their works.

That was a genuinely insulting comment, really don't have much to say lol. Lmao even.

Here's the original post in question in case anyone's wondering what's the 'AI-looking' art we're talking about is: https://www.tumblr.com/nuclear-smash/693038436893999105/tragic-tale-of-michael-afton

#that comment genuinely brought on some unspeakable rage in me :skull_emoji: #seriously tho as an artist and even animator im fearing every waking hour that eventually what i do as a passion will become obsolete #we're already losing opportunities to fucking bots and comments like that are just.. very discouraging to say the least #anyways lesson to be learnt here; dont assume something is instantly AI just based on a feeling if you dont know the artist at all #sometimes we make mistakes in our real HUMAN made art #hell some of us have inconsistent art styles cuz whoa! humans arent consistent who would've thought #theres way better ways to clock if something's ai generative content or not #hope my words and english make sense tho #yuba talks

nevermind lol there’s too much hardware I’d need to replace to bring my PC up to necessary spec.

I’ll just save up for a complete replacement next year or the year after 🫶🏿 thanks for everyone’s input on the matter

#if I knew Id be a full time artist back in 2017 I would have made better choices regarding graphics power lol #I need a newer CPU to support a stronger graphics card which requires a better power supply; im simply not doing all that #on the bright side: I know whats going on inside my PC now & I feel Ive become closer to her as a result :')

i love lost media my fave is Winter Of Infection i'm truly obsessed

i looked this up and the only reference to it i could find is a youtube video uploaded yesterday (the day i received this ask), supposedly of the opening credits

i would recommend finding an actual VHS tape to record this on, whatever filter you've used isn't the best. also it's a little too My First Analog Horror to be super believable. it's enough to fool the Lost Media Wiki though, nice work

#lost media #lost media wiki #im only being critical so you can get better #become the greatest hoax artist on the planet
