One of the images in my Scraps was randomly included in a YouTube video. I wonder if anybody will know where that image came from....
See, it was just a random image macro I assembled and posted one day; nothing important that would deserve citing the user.....

What is this, and ...?
Okay, since when did dA implement their own AI art generator ("DreamUp") ? Well, given they are offering a limited number of free prompts, I am nonetheless tempted to try typing one or two input strings to observe what it's capable of. It apparently runs on the "Stable Diffusion" generator, and I've seen various montages of what that is capable of and how to set any expectations accordingly. But as an actual (traditional) artist myself -- and someone quite distrustful of generated content in principle -- obviously I need to set some ground rules. If I find any results that appear interesting enough to share: - They will ONLY be placed in my Scraps section. That is, after all, what the distinction is for -- things you want kept separated from your showcase pieces. - It will be clearly TITLED that it was from an AI prompt. Simply "tagging" it with dA's internal tagging system (while required) is not enough here, I need to keep this awareness front and center. I'm also leaning
I found the thing.
So you know the feeling where you know what you're looking for but don't remember where you last had/left it, but you want it NOW? I had such an episode yesterday. Was looking for an old file of mine, which I haven't used in literally years (almost a decade, in fact). Didn't have a copy in my user directory, or on my backup jumpdrive (or external HDD). Turns out it was still sitting on the old family PC because apparently I never properly migrated my old stuff off of it upon getting my first, individual PC. (Shown at right, after finding) It's a working font file I derived from my lettering (which I've showed off before, and even used in some older pieces), and I wanted to apply it for the piece I'm finishing off for upload this weekend. But it turns out my aspect ratio is too wide for this usecase (I'd have to either reduce the font size or condense the wording -- by a lot either way), so I applied not-Comic-Sans to the piece instead. (By which I mean the font is, in fact, not
I have an idea. An art prompt idea.
More importantly, this idea has a time limit! It must be done before October 21st, for ... reasons (but feel free to guess). It is based on an art prompt I found recently, and paraphrased: A person was cursed by a dying mystical creature/monster, its vengeful spirit transforming them into a replacement of itself. However, they are actually innocent of whatever caused the beast's death, not the one who deserved such a fate! They were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time -- but a curse cannot simply be recanted, it will only lift once its terms are fulfilled. So what creature did this person get turned into, and what are the terms of the curse? I already have my idea -- heck, I've even typed up maybe 500 words of scenario describing it in more detail. And it will likely involve more than one drawing. Wish me luck! After this is done, it will be time for Nanowrimo 2022...
Day 29 [Nanowrimo 2017]
This year marks my 10th Nanoversary; so, I'll be posting (and updating) my dA journal with each day. Thirty days of updates! Can I do it ... or will I just spend too much time surfing YouTube?Day 29:I started today not knowing what exactly I wanted to write. I ended it by combining three separate plot threads and seguing into an important scene that has already been (to some extent) planned out.
Oh, and WE HAVE REACHED 50K! My official tally is at 50,117 and there's still one day left in November!
Day 28:So that uncomfortable chapter from last week? The internal editor finally drew a line in the said and demanded it be rewritten to ton
