I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

HUH

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

BING BONG (srry for the inactivity I do really want to post more :•[ though I hope I will since I'm trying to really get back into art so ye!)

i’m a bit high

i’ve always felt like being born on the first of the month was a lil fun and fancy but then i began to wonder if that’s just how everyone feels about their birthday. so i made a poll about it.

it's got solitaire btw. if you even care

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS YES THIS EXACTLY

Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I'm no longer a child full of wonder and curiosity. I get to drive through fields everyday and experience the beautiful clouds above me and feel just as excited about going to meet my friends, and I get to make the meals I want to make, go the places I want to go

I'm still a child, I just now know how to make decisions for myself!

This morning I was waiting in my car for the Dollar General to open and it was raining enough that my windows fogged up so I started doodling on them and it was such a lovely moment that I cried when I got home. Being an adult isn’t so bad and it never was. There will never be a “this is the last time I feel this” u will always want to draw when ur windows fog up tbh.

I WANT PROBLEMS. ALWAYS

WRITING IS JUST 'WHAT IF I MADE UP A PROBLEM AND THEN MADE UP PEOPLE TO BE SAD ABOUT IT' BUT WHY IS THE MADE-UP PROBLEM MAKING ME SAD TOO. WHO GAVE FICTION PERMISSION TO ATTACK ME PERSONALLY.
