Digital artist who infrequently can scrape enough energy to create stuff. I like to escape with art and draw cute anthros.

  • Do you accept shitty, half-assed, sticky-note doodles?

    Doodle and story behind it

    Sticky note doodle of a crudely drawn anthro fox, Foxfire. He is smiling and waving.

    I drew this doodle after getting another from a different artist. A little over a year ago, an artist I was following decided to put up a small sticker shop, so I went ahead and got one to show her a little support. The sticker was nice enough when it arrived of course, but alongside it was a personal thank you doodle from her. That gesture of a pure and personal desire to communicate through art is something I treasure dearly. To this day, that doodle is stuck to my computer desk alongside the sticker, and I’m gonna hold onto that little doodle for the rest of my life if I can.

    At the time, the doodle inspired me to try and very quickly make something of my own. In my head I imagined maybe spending a minute or so without erasing anything, so I ended up with this. Despite the result, I love seeing it, and I actually stuck him on my door. It was never about the quality, but about the events, emotions, and process that lead to what I expressed. When I see it, I am reminded of that fact every day. I do not lament art being “bad,” I am grateful for everyone who wishes to express themselves through art.


  • Yeah moderation is the toughest part, especially considering this is a very general “just post whatever” community. Especially as it continues to get less obvious, I’d hate to see AI witch-hunt type comments against either actual artists, or maybe a random person dropping a saved meme they didn’t even realize was generated themselves. For a place I mod which is largely populated by art posts (furry_irl) I opted to require artist credit in the title or post body when applicable, but that seems like it could be a bit tedious for 196.

    I think the best case would be something like “we reserve the right to remove posts we believe are machine generated,” but also “do not attack others about it, discuss tactfully, send reports for posts you reasonably believe are generated instead for moderator discretion.”

    Just think, those Neanderthals are going to be obsolete now that we can generate infinite pictures of hands on cave walls! Human condition? Self expression? Lmao no one cares old man, get with the times and consume! I don’t want any human interaction anymore, I have my black box that will do whatever I tell it to!

    (/s In case the Overton window is that fucked already.)

  • Okay, but if we allow this then that means you are now an unstoppable war machine who can instantaneously rip apart any structure by teleporting into it, and moving those molecules several inches away. Kill anyone in an extremely violent partial teleport, destroy tanks, collapse skyscrapers, the world is your oyster! Being some demigod tier entity sounds too cool compared to the others though, easiest pill choice of your life.


  • Instant teleportation also would result in the sudden creation of a vaccum at your prior location, only 7 inches away. This cavitation would then immediately collapse in on itself from the surrounding air, and would likely result in some not nice things happening to your body as you experienced that shockwave. I guess you could continue to instantly teleport if the cooldown is basically zero, but no matter when you stop, you’ll always be seven inches away from your latest hole.

    Yes it is, especially for smaller, low color count, cartoon style images. No one will ever be able to notice, and you can even import and re-save it multiple times for further space savings for your instance admin! For very large, color rich photographs, this won’t work though. You’ll have to save all of those as PNG. If your camera defaults to JPG, don’t forget to import them into an editor and export as PNG to get your quality back.
