Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?
Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"
Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

swordtember Day 23 Titan+Undead Once it was said she was peaceful, but when she came to power things changed, power does not corrupt, it reveals. The Titan known as the Soul Eater forged this blade from the bones of her enemies, any who fall to the blade, rise again as undead and serve the wielder. During the war, she led an army of undead against the city.

I focused more on illustration and medium variety this year, by the looks of it. I've rediscovered my love for ink again. Things look consistent. Maybe too consistent? I'd like to be bolder and more experimental with my designs in the future. What would you like to see more of?
