My portrait of Melvin: The Mewling. The Meller. The wizard of many names!
I took a very different approach than I normally do, with this painting: From grey scale to color, just to try it. Not sure it made it turn out better, but it was fun to try it.

Awh, thank you! 😄

Woo still had thetime lapse for this one. Watch me forget how big 9 (10? Augh, birthday math) year old’s are in SPED UP REAL TIME.

Damn this composition and lighting is really amazing and inspiring!

Request @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com:
1: Chat should be blocked on BOTH sides when a player is ignored; not only for the one who ignores.
2: Location visibility should be OPTIONAL!
3: Add the option to FULLY opt-out on "Recent Allies" and "Quick Join"!

Yes exactly! They take away the rights from people who've been struggling with this issue - you can't do anything about it - and Blizzard doesn't act when stalking is reported. Ignore won't block people from adding your char to their list.
I can't believe there aren't more people calling alarms! 😰

With Quick Join you would have to be online simultaneously to see people pop up as an option.
But with this new activity log you won't even have to be online to see it: it's logged.
You can see when they were online. Where they logged off. All sorts of things.
And you can't opt out!

They did this with Quick Join too: if you enter a dungeon or delve with an alt, that character displays on the friends list, if someone added one of your characters on their friends list.
My friend was zoning out on an alt when a friend whispered him out of the blue, and it creeped him out.

Character adding: add someone's character on the friends list and you can see ALL. They can't for certain see it's you, just activity on your alt.
But imagine they make a lvl 1 alt with 1 character on their friends list and no guild: guess who the "allies activity" exposes?

Apparently this new feature allows ANYONE who adds you on their friends list to see, not just your recent activity on the added avatar, but also ALL of your alts! 100% doxxing and you can do 0 about it.
it defeats the point of OFFLINE on Btag completely: ANYBODY can just add you and watch you now. 😬

Blizzard is so close to real privacy control, but no cigar: Stalking isn’t handled, there’s no “Nobody” option, no control of who may add us as "friends" - and Quick Join doxxes us without consent!
Other platforms require friend approval. Please, Blizzard, let us choose who tracks us! 🙏

Still a WIP, but the proportions are a bit more where I want them to be: I also moved her hands out a bit further, to empathize her silhouette.

Study, 47min

god... staring at my old renders like "how? how did i do that before? How do i get that back?"

That "Make it exist first"-mantra is really healthy. Only after posting my portrait, I realized I'd forgotten a few adjustments, like that subsurface scatter in the shirt.
Left is the new, tweaked one. CQ welcomed! 🧡

A time-lapse of my latest painting, made in Krita, which has an inbuilt, awesome recording feature. Highly recommended by me: Krita is amazing - and FREE! 👀

Really lovely detail with her facial paint!

It's been a heck of an intense month, but I managed to make an August painting! 🧡💜🍑

Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use The tool's creators are seeking to make it so that AI model developers must pay artists to train on data from them that is uncorrupted.

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

Really cool that you can do this!

Seeing this makes me realise just how long ago it is since I've seen a blue wax pencil sketch on paper last.
And how much nostalgia it gives! Thanks for sharing! 🩵

Cute! 🧡
