It's my birthday 🤍! I'd love to share my favorite Eden portraits to celebrate :>
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Illustration bust of a male oc with long white hair, sleeping with gold tears running down his face that pool into his neck and meet with gold cracks up his chest.

A wide portrait drawing with limited color of a femme male oc (Eden) lying in water, asleep, his long hair spreading out around him.
Two hands gently gather bright teal flower petals against the sides of his neck.

A dark portrait drawing of a male oc who is looking at the viewer solemnly, with long and wild white hair filling the frame around him. Gaping cracks lined with gold travel his skin, with the largest holes appearing on the side of his face and shoulder.
A black hole surrounded by gold, chrysanthemum-like flowers spouts from the hole in his face.

An experimental dark portrait of a male oc (Eden) glaring ominously at the viewer with one eye, the other hidden behind curls of white hair. Where normally there would be a red goat pupil inside of a teal iris, it has opened to reveal a smaller gold pupil.
Two warbling halos spin in tandem above his head.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Sadly my dog is facing a more complex surgery than expected. I will be opening commissions where all proceeds go to his medical bills!

After the Holiday season I'll probably do a Timed Portrait marathon to help with pet bills - my dog is getting all he needs, it's just burning a meteor sized hole in my pocket 😭 And he'll need surgery on top of that hahaha...ah....

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"

Free Tip if you want to live off commissions:

You're a social media manager 70% of the time and an artist 30% of the time.

And:

You'll get most of your clients through word of mouth so make them HAPPY. (Hopefully this is your priority already?)
