[2016] - Scumgirl Illustration Used For @_jammo_ For A While! I Sold A Whole Lot Of Sweatshirts With

I’m gonna sketch my graphic novel out entirely like this before sinking anything. In the mean time, I have two one-shot manga I’ll be working on slowly. One is for a contest and the other is just for fun. I’ll be self publishing a one-shot compilation via @_jammo_ after they’re completed 😌 Probably end of this year or early next year https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIe7FrAv8P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ryegzjong65j

My body is in so much pain. I don’t want to anymore. What do I do. The only reason I haven’t killed myself is because I pray my body will get better but it’s just so painful. I want anyone who cares about me or whatever to sort of just deal with it if I die. I have a treatment planned for late November. I hope it is successful, but I told myself I refuse to enter 2019 feeling this way. So no matter how successful my clothing or comics become, my happiness is my priority. I can’t keep feeling like a slave to my body. I just don’t want to anymore. I can’t think of type properly ‘cause I’m high as shit and falling in and out of sleep. I gotta design my banner for AnimeNYC though. Gotta get up :) lol I don’t even want to go go NYC anymore. My birthday is in a few days and I’m too sick to even enjoy some sake or any alcohol to celebrate 21. Life is pure shit right now. I made $600 in the first 3 days selling my art and lol I just don’t feel better. People, really, there’s something so wrong with my body. It hurts so much. I can’t do this anymore. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvW0mvgBPH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r0esmc7w1b9a

There’s a nasty winter storm that’s going to hit most of the central regions of the US tomorrow (21 December 2022), especially tomorrow night. Please check your local forecasts if you live anywhere west of the rocky mountains, even down as far south as Texas. In some areas of the Plains region, windchill is likely to be -50F to -70F. That is so cold that you will develop frostbite in minutes. You will lose extremities without protection if you are exposed to windchill that cold. -70F is “surface of Mars” cold.

My part of the US is going to be below freezing all next week. This is normal for some. Not so normal for others.

If your area is likely to be impacted by the storm, please prepare now. The most important thing is staying warm and staying inside until things warm up outside. Specific tips I can offer, as somebody who regularly deals with cold winters are:

Put blankets over windows and doors. This will help your house retain heat.

Stay well-fed. Buy food now. You will get hungry faster because your body will burn calories to stay warm.

Stay hydrated. If your lips are chapped you’re probably dehydrated.

Stay dry. Remove wet clothing as soon as possible. It is better to be naked than wet when it is cold.

If it is going to get below freezing for more than an hour or two, run your water at a trickle or drip to prevent your pipes from bursting. The colder it gets the faster your pipes will freeze.

Here’s the weather forecast for this storm:

On a real note: I look at my manga and genuinely see that I draw and compose shots well. I used to be so insecure and beat up over dickhead Toshio Maeda telling me I’ll never be a pro for being weak/sick, but it’s nice being able to look at my art and be like “This is fucking AMAZING I CAN’T BELIEVE I MADE THIS??”

As days go by, I can see my hard work objectively rather than clouded by my views of my art. I’m actually super good at making manga ESPECIALLY considering I was crying and writhing in such bad, constant physical CPPS pain while drawing ALL of these. I would literally fall out of my chair and just scream on the floor, holding my pen with ink rolling down my fucking hand. It’s some shonen manga type perseverance sort of shit. No one has ever seen my art when I’m healthy because I’ve been sick for so long now. But man, I can’t wait until I’m healthy and my art just darts up insanely in quality. Anyhow, thanks for all the support. I can’t say something to really express my gratitude, but I know I exist on this planet to make people feel something through ink and panels. Times change; technology changes, desires change, but the necessity to create does not. Thank you for standing by my during this journey 🌱

Please read this and my others if you haven’t!

...With Gettyimages and Adobe; two of the most scummy companies in their fields; bringing out their own paywalled AI trained on "ethical data," (IE, officially licensed from the mountains they own) I hope we can use this opportunity to step back and stop talking about the AI art debate in terms of copyright and "theft" and more in terms of corporate exploitation and labor rights.

Because, like, the results will be the same with regards to jobs if megacorps end up using Adobe's or Getty's model in the way they'd use; say; Stablediffusion and Midjourney; without a labor pushback they'd still use it to kill jobs.

And even with the "compensation system" they talk about, which they'll conveniently use as an excuse to keep it paywalled and closed-source, I bet you my bottom dollar they're talking about a Spotify-type model. Which, if you're familiar with the music industry, you do not want a Spotify-type model.

The difference is, if Stablediffusion gets sued out of existence, you won't be able to access the tool without a paywall. And both Adobe and Getty Images have very high paywalls.

Whereas Stablediffusion, by contrast, is very much open-source and free. A lot of people run it independently online for anyone to use and if you have a PC that can run it, you can use it offline; no strings attached. Which means you can do it and tweak it as you wish, doubly so if you already have art skills.

And it's awfully suspicious in this state that Getty is in a lawsuit to try and kill SD over the "stealing" claims in a way that would leave their product as a paywalled monopoly at their whims with no Open Source alternatives.

Like... at the very least don't get played by their talk of "ethics," because even if they're licensed, in my eyes they're far less ethical than SD I'd assert, due to creating a precedent for putting this technology behind a corporate walled garden in a way that keeps other creators from using it while still killing traditional artist jobs dead if we don't push back as a collective labor force.
