shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

this is the full quote.

His actual answer to AI is this which is just a few seconds after the insult to life speech. [source]

Anyone else not care if a character is “redeemable” even a little. Either they get better or they die terrible. I am not Anubis, weighing their hearts against a feather. I wanna see what else they can do and how they can grow or change or even get worse. Stop asking me if a character can be forgiven. I don’t care.

Happy International Asexuality Day!!! 🖤🩶🤍💜

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT JUST A MAC PROBLEM

GUYS IT HAPPENS WITH KRITA TOO

is there like….a way to check how to do that for procreate?

cause I’ve noticed the same thing so I’ve just been eye picking colors for like…two years now

THERE IS!

ive been noticing the EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever i would export an image from procreate and it drove me CRAZY that my art would desaturate all the time. anyway, if you're in a canvas, go to settings > canvas > canvas information > color profile

once youre in color profile, if your current color profile is display P3, CHANGE IT!!!!!! it is desaturating your colors. you're gonna want to change it to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1 instead

if you're starting a new canvas, you can just go to color profile and change it that way. im SO grateful for this post for giving me the push i needed to experiment with procreate files and finally see what was changing my art to be so desaturated

like LOOK at this!!!!

anyway yeah. tldr if youre using procreate, make sure your color profile is sRBG IEC6 1966-2.1

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck

okay here is your sillies

Wanted to simplify their designs since their 3D models don't. Translate well to 2D! Alt ver under the cut

Baldurs Gate 3 is so wild when you realise how vastly different the game is depending on if you choose Tav or Dark Urge

Dark Urge Playthrough: you’re the child of Bhaal, but unlike the Bhaalspawn, you are created solely by Bhaal himself. The first true child of Bhaal. The daughter of one of your father’s previous Bhaalspawn turns on you, attacks you and tries to kill you. In your dying state, she infects you with a parasite so that you’ll die an incredibly humiliating death, and become her slave.

By some miracle you end up on the same nautiloud ship as a Sharron Cleric who happens to to be carrying a gith artefact that contains Baldur himself. Baldur, who was made a mind flayer and is now calling himself the Emperor, realises there’s an incredibly powerful Bhaalspawn on the ship, and that he can use them to his advantage. The power you have will help him destroy Gortash. Of course he picks you, it makes so much sense.

On your way to Baldurs Gate you find out through an unsent letter that you used to be into Gortash. When you get to Baldurs Gate, the man you used to fuck turns out to be an absolute loser and with horror you realise he is still into you. It’s okay though, he’s very easy to kill.

You end up facing off against Orin, your niece, and kill her. Your father appears to you and offers you the chance to become his Slayer. On the high chance you turn him down, he murders you in front of your loved ones, and leaves you to rot.

Then Jergal, the actual Lord of the End of Everything, the original God of Death, who was the very being that turned you father into a God all that time ago, who’s been in your camp for weeks pretending to be this undead scribe called Withers, appears next to your corpse and brings you back to life, basically adopts you, states that he will protect you from Bhaal, and announces that as long as he lives, you will never die. You’re essentially immortal.

Tav Playthrough: you’re a random nobody that was unlucky enough to get kidnapped by Mind Flayers. The Emperor must pick one of the many idiots on the ship to be his pawn. He sees Tav and thinks “ugh, yeah this one will do”.

(Not a ship post) After dozens of rewatches I’m happy to say I’ve grown to like this fella :]

Worth it. Astarion and his personal vendetta against flowers, what did they ever do to you?

BG3 Gaming Headcanons (Modern AU)

Karlach: Plays either really cute wholesome games or action-packed ultraviolent games, no in-between. Had a field day that one year Doom and Animal Crossing released simultaneously.

Lae'zel: Not much of a gamer, but will indulge in the occasional edgy FPS or battle-royale type games. Refuses to shell out for a fancy PC setup. Puts the game away when she thinks she's taking it too seriously, claims she has "better things to do" but really is just salty abt losing :P

Shadowheart: Loves the more story-driven games, or ones with a snarky sense of humor. Visual novels are her jam. Also kinda into horror, but picky about it. Prefers ones with subtle suspense and plot twists rather than just mindless gore and jumpscares. Her favorite FNAF was the first one

Gale: Likes anything with strategy, like Fire Emblem, or basically any tower defense game. Has a ton of chess simulators, Solitaire, and the like installed on his phone. The type to pay $40 for a set of classic clubhouse games on the Switch or whatever

Astarion: Also not much of a gamer, probably the most casual of the bunch. Plays those gory Flash browser-based games for fun. Dating sims and dressups/picrews are his guilty pleasures; he'll spend way too much time judging every bachelor(ette) or making sure that paper doll looks just right.

Wyll: The biggest weeb. Loves a good old-fashioned JRPG, complex job systems, quirky animal sidekicks, the works. Genuinely invested in every moment of Kingdom Hearts.

Halsin: Unsurprisingly not a gamer. May pick up a cozy game like Minecraft or Stardew if you ask verrrrry nicely. Don't expect him to actually accomplish anything, he'll just enjoy the virtual scenery for 20 minutes, then give you a lil headpat on his way out-- back to real nature.

Minthara: Lae'zel x1000. Picks a game and whales it, has to have the best equipment -- in game and irl -- extremely competitive. Calls someone a slur whenever they beat her. Becomes a controversial livestreamer.

Astarion giving Karlach the princess treatment because others assume that her being more masc means she doesn’t like being given flowers and stuff but he knows better reblog if you agree

How many people do you think have lezzed out in Antarctica

not enough

millions of penguins probably have

This is so true and such a good point

Well, I'm very pleased with the resulting drawing. I decided to test some brushes and textures, and also tried to draw without a line. And here some close ups!!!
