Lol yeah, guess I was lost.

So, screaming at him all night didn't work?

Sleep easy OP, this is likely some bullshit.

Hexbear is way worse, imo. Those folks will straight up harass dissenters. Stay away or maybe just stick to your gaming sub if you're happy there.

Sometimes I put directions into Maps for a work thing and I have to be there before the location opens to the public and when I put the address in, before it will give me directions, the app says, "HEY, THE PLACE YOU'RE GOING MIGHT NOT BE OPEN, JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW, STUPID ASSHOLE."

It makes me unreasonably(?) furious.

I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It's strange, right? But I'm glad it's something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.

Well said.

I'd like to add that the biggest problem, imo, is the closed source nature of the models. Corporations who used our collective knowledge, without permission, to create AI to sell back to us is unethical at best. All AI models should be open source for public access, sort of like libraries. Corpos are thrilled we're fighting about copyright pennies instead, I'm sure.

They should be a tad more frequent, imo.

No it's not. It's well established law that we are allowed to resell our physical media. You're just wrong. Like I said, if it were up to corporate media lawyers, you would be correct, which is why it's frustrating to see people like OP & yourself falling into line when no one's even asking you to. Stop that.

According to media lawyers, maybe. But when I have a CD of music, or a game cartridge, I can sell it to someone else. For money. Because it's my copy I'm selling. So, what the fuck are you talking about except ceding the point to corporate lawyers for no good reason?

 

Bored somewhere I can't leave, so uploading a sketch I happen to have on my phone camera while I wait.

Probably hoping people don't needlessly mock them on the Internet for dumb shit like landscape mode while being judged for somehow affecting others' happiness by simply asking for some understanding?

Just a guess, tho.

Tell us the story, Grandpa!

 

I'm not sure if this piece is finished, but I'm done with it, if that makes sense.

About 9.5" x 9.5"

Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.

If this sub isn't really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .

 

Brush used on illustration for scale.

Hope you enjoy!

I found the tool I use for scratchboard/paper, so here it is. It looks like a pen, but is actually a flexible little blade.

I hope you enjoy!

Scratchboard sketch (scratchpaper? That's kind of something else. Anyways).

The tool I use looks sort of like a calligraphy pen, but is a flexible blade. I seem to have misplaced it, so, that's annoying. I'll try to include a picture next time.

I hope you enjoy.

I'm realizing folks like to see the tools people use when they draw so I included that this time. It's a brush that's too small tbh (a friggin' size 4/0) but it's nice & I got it for extremely cheap.

Hope you're having a swell day!

 

This is done on paper that mimics scratch board, but is waaaaaaaay cheaper. Somewhat hard to find without rainbow colors underneath, unfortunately.

 

Hey, non-representational today. Hope you like it!

I've been post my experimental illustrations over on Pixelfed (@[email protected]) and would like to cross post here, too.

If it gets annoying, mods let me know. Otherwise, I hope you like it!
