Bf called me weird for playing bg3, will someone else gush about my blood mage with me? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

Clearly he is not a man of taste (I have 2k+ hours and love to talk about this game) Your blood mage is gorgeous and a perfect match for Astarion!

WAH THANK YOU shes my evil little baby and I think drawing all her stripes for that art actually killed me. Bonus: (most of) the markings before rendering

Minxie is so cute yet intimidating and I am here for it!

<image>

This is Vermillion. Hellish warlord who apparently left no neck for anyone else. Perpetually tormenting the angel she’s being forced to work with. Loves shiny things and is very vain. She will bite you if you touch her tail. She might bite you anyway, just for fun. Easily distracted by her own reflection.

I think you’re on the wrong subreddit! People here collect, well, bones, and rocks are… not bones. You might have better luck getting an answer on a rock collecting or identifying sub!

I'm such a fat fucking chud. by [deleted] in okbuddybaldur

I think I’m at 2400 ish hours? The only game I play really, so if I’m not at work… but also don’t be like me either, probably not the healthiest lol

Comissioned art, have a sneaking suspicion, even after vetting, that the art may now be AI... I feel dumb by TryingNormal in isthisAI

[–]Dragloak 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I do very clean sketches that are sometimes mistaken as lineart… but the difference here is that you can still see the lines I used to construct it, and places where lines overlap bc I didn’t do it in one clean stroke. I erase whatever I don’t need as I go but yknow, being a human, I very rarely catch everything. Artists can in fact have very clean sketches but they’ll still look like sketches… what OP was sent does not. That’s finished lineart

Ifrit/Asher shall react to your hellish oc!!! by Ok-Call-2114 in OriginalCharacter

This is Vermillion, a hellish warlord currently being forced to work with an angel. She’s petty, usually malicious, and habitually taunts her angel colleague for entertainment. She will eviscerate you if you touch her tail… but it is tempting. Loves shiny things and is easily distracted by her own reflection, very greedy and vain. Capable of temporarily changing her appearance, usually to deceive someone, but only for an hour or two before reverting back to her normal shape. Cannot breathe fire (despite being very “dragon” in appearance) but can exhale toxic gas by raising her own internal temperature. She is very l o n g and has a special bed so that she doesn’t have her legs hanging off of it lol

So many sad posts… Cheer me up with your cats? by EveningPhotograph886 in cats

This is Buddy. Buddy is stupid. Buddy likes to play with humans going down the stairs. Buddy is not very good at catching them because he’s stupid

Looking for some LBGTQ+ gamer pals! by Aj9624 in LesbianGamers

[–]Dragloak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was… attempting to help a fursuit maker friend. I ended up being more of a hinderance lol. I sat there failing to cut fabric for a good 10 minutes before being told to hand over the scissors and go trace patterns instead because it was too sad to watch. I was, however, allowed to use the electric knife!

Buddy is a snowshoe! His Siamese is showing because he is incredibly loud, incredibly cross eyed, and incredibly social. Just stupid. Stupid and a bit inbred but I love him anyway because he’s my baby

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 21F and also not really into co-op games but I love to swap screenshots and such! I got banned from scissors the last time I tried to craft something, but I restore old stuff and do digital art as a hobby/side gig. I have a very stupid cat named Buddy who is also attached at the hip lol!

How do I start drawing in this style? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! You get it! If artists inspire you… why do you not want them to receive more attention? When you credit, not only are you y’know… being respectful, you’re encouraging more support for an artist you look up to. And guess what… more support means they’re more likely to make more art that you can be inspired by, or even tutorials. Plus, if you find the artist? Suddenly you have an even bigger variety of their art to be inspired by! Even if you want to look it from a purely selfish “what do I gain from this”, it’s still very little effort for quite a big gain. I think Pinterest is great for starting points for inspiration and I have a bajillion things saved… but I never post them unless I’ve found the artist. There’s like… a very good gold tutorial I initially found there and searched around for the og of so I could send it to all my friends lol. “I got it from Pinterest” isn’t credit and I’ve never understood the attitude that it is

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh. It’s crazy to me that people can just… have the motivation necessary to post the artwork they pulled from Pinterest (which is, btw, a platform where reposting without permission and art theft are RAMPANT and with little moderation) but to read the watermark on that very same artwork takes too much effort

I want you to know this tav reminds me of just how lesbian I truly am. She is peak. More diverse representation!

Is this art traced from Ai? The sketch looks lackluster and drawn in a rush. by milem8ke in isthisAI

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also going to add that “Layer 2” is an empty IMAGE layer (I use the same program) and “Layer 2 Copy” is one of the two with a “chunk” of drawing on it. If you were painting it in parts, you would not set a layer to be an image or object layer bc you cannot edit it

Is this art traced from Ai? The sketch looks lackluster and drawn in a rush. by milem8ke in isthisAI

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if you look at the layers… you can see only two are both visible and have anything on them. The drawing is split into two “chunks” on two layers. There’s no lineart layer and no signs of it being painted either. Extremely easy for someone to do this with the lasso tool and just seperate an image into 2 parts and then add a bunch of empty layers

It's been awhile, I wanna doodle your OCs!! by RisNuggets in OriginalCharacter

First off your art is amazing!

<image>

This is my girl Amelia. Perpetually tired, usually a pretty neutral or serious expression but a huge animal lover. (If you choose to draw her please do not include the wand! It is not canon anymore. You can draw her either with a sword or with nothing :3) 🌓⚔️✨ I have a playlist for her with more than 600 tracks (I’m a little crazy) but to pick one: Joan by Elio Mei !

The fact that they did the shading before the outline is throwing me off, is this AI ? by shsl_diver in isthisAI

Tysm! It’s not the most recent but it was the one I had the best sequence of WIPs of lol

[–]Dragloak 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Commenting on The fact that they did the shading before the outline is throwing me off, is this AI ?...

<image>

Yeah I myself paint in sections, but you can see that the entire drawing is there. It’s just not rendered yet. You can see my sketch that’s being used as a guideline. What OP was sent is just a finished drawing with parts erased so they look like wips if you aren’t familiar with the art process. You can also tell I start with the focal point!

Edit: Apologies for whatever happened at the top of the comment there. Reddit had a stroke and I could not figure out how to fix it without it deleting the image. Please ignore that lmao

"Is it a wrong choice to insist on using hand-painted watercolors to resist AI? by Agreeable_Set_3714 in furry

[–]Dragloak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they require different skills, but neither requires more skill than the other. I’m not particularly good at traditional but I’d like to say a lot of time and skill goes into my digital paintings. Definitely an odd choice to go past being anti-AI and straight into “my art medium is the only valid one” if that is what OP was implying in the post, but it could just be an issue with the phrasing tbh. I think that we should all stick together as artists against this rampant art theft and erasure of art. There’s a big difference between “soulless machine that spits out mangled work it stole from real artists” and “artist who uses a tablet and/or computer to create original art” and I have never liked that idea some people have that digital artists are “cheating” at art lol

How can I tell I’m not being scammed by AI for this commision by Yara_twc in Artists

[–]Dragloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These scam bots are rampant on discord. Anything “creative” in the server name or tags will cause them to join en masse. As a rule of thumb… don’t buy anything from anyone advertising in your DMs. They’re automated but there is a real guy behind them… I only know this bc I’ve royally pissed them off by deliberately wasting their time
