Figured I’d Add To This! Here Is A Process Reel Going Into How I Generally Do Things, And An Unlisted

figured i’d add to this! here is a process reel going into how i generally do things, and an unlisted youtube video with the speedpaint and additional thoughts is in the works! (because i’m a masochist like that…/nsrs)

obviously i’m still working to improve and this isn’t a tutorial per say; it’s just explaining how i do things, since a few people wanted to know and it seemed fun to talk about lmao

(also, this is fran’s mermay ref, not canonical in the slightest but i figured i’d make one for funsies yk?)

An imagine imagining Francis, the artist's original character, as an anglerfish-themed merfolk. Text reads "Probably some sort of sea witch", "Jaw unhinges; lots of long, sharp teeth", "Much stronger than they look", and "Probably consumes raw flesh of mer who live closer to the surface", as well as their name and the fish they're based on.

this is a lifesaver, my technique is legit just “fuck around and find out” 😌👍

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

A piece of cloth teaching you how to draw cloth folds of different material. Each picture depicts two arms in the same material - one thin arm and one fat arm.
THICK clothes only have a few folds! Sometimes a bump is all it takes to suggest a fold for THICK stuff. Examples are sweaters, hoodies, wool, fleece, and denim
THIN clothes have a lot of folds and bumps! Thin stuff usually has more lines that wrap around what's underneath. Examples are rayon, cotton, and crepe
SMOOTH stuff have "squiggly" folds. Smooth cloth folds tend to "loop" back to where they start. Examples are silk, velvet, Satin, Bamboo cotton, and most luxurious stuff
SOFT clothes have round folds. Unlike smooth stuff, soft stuff doesn't have many "squiggles" or solid lines in between. Examples are down jackets, fur, fleece, washed linen, and polyester
STIFF clothes have angular folds! Most folds tend to look triangular - assuming they even fold at all! Examples are raincoats, New denim, canvas, and suits
PS I have avoided talking about loose vs tight clothing since whatever is loose on one person (A shows a thin arm in a baggy yellow sleeve) might not be as loose on a different person (B depicts the same sleeve which comfortably fits around the fat arm). However it's still important to learn about these type of things.
Person asks, "So uh... what happens if the clothes are Smooth and Thin, or Thick and Soft?" The answer is DO BOTH! Top right shows a full woman in a dress that has a Smooth skirt and a Stiff top half. Even though it's one dress, one part is more Smooth while the other part is more Stiff. There are more examples but don't forget to study hard and have fun!

AI worse than humans in every way at summarising information, government trial finds
Crikey
A test of AI for Australia's corporate regulator found that the technology might actually make more work for people, not less.

Artificial intelligence is worse than humans in every way at summarising documents and might actually create additional work for people, a government trial of the technology has found. Amazon conducted the test earlier this year for Australia’s corporate regulator the Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) using submissions made to an inquiry. The outcome of the trial was revealed in an answer to a questions on notice at the Senate select committee on adopting artificial intelligence. The test involved testing generative AI models before selecting one to ingest five submissions from a parliamentary inquiry into audit and consultancy firms. The most promising model, Meta’s open source model Llama2-70B, was prompted to summarise the submissions with a focus on ASIC mentions, recommendations, references to more regulation, and to include the page references and context. Ten ASIC staff, of varying levels of seniority, were also given the same task with similar prompts. Then, a group of reviewers blindly assessed the summaries produced by both humans and AI for coherency, length, ASIC references, regulation references and for identifying recommendations. They were unaware that this exercise involved AI at all. These reviewers overwhelmingly found that the human summaries beat out their AI competitors on every criteria and on every submission, scoring an 81% on an internal rubric compared with the machine’s 47%.  Human summaries ran up the score by significantly outperforming on identifying references to ASIC documents in the long document, a type of task that the report notes is a “notoriously hard task” for this type of AI. But humans still beat the technology across the board. Reviewers told the report’s authors that AI summaries often missed emphasis, nuance and context; included incorrect information or missed relevant information; and sometimes focused on auxiliary points or introduced irrelevant information. Three of the five reviewers said they guessed that they were reviewing AI content. The reviewers’ overall feedback was that they felt AI summaries may be counterproductive and create further work because of the need to fact-check and refer to original submissions which communicated the message better and more concisely.

peepeepoopoo first set of artfight refs are done

These bios leave so much out I want to cry, but I think it gives an idea of what’s going on

Peepeepoopoo First Set Of Artfight Refs Are Done
Peepeepoopoo First Set Of Artfight Refs Are Done
Peepeepoopoo First Set Of Artfight Refs Are Done
Peepeepoopoo First Set Of Artfight Refs Are Done

Specifically what’s being left out is all the worldbuildy info on how their cultures and religioms shaped their worldviews and how they clash. As well as EVERYTHING to do with Sol’s marriage. The whole concept of the ashborn mothergod birthing perfect children and that it’s the responsibility of each child to stay that way. The sherit gods and the insane demands of their doctrine

Look the point is I’ve put a lot of thoughts into these characters and their world and I am going hogwild rn
