Bluesky user @shanicetjn.bsky.social invited other artists to draw their characters with hers character, Azrael (left). She gave us the couch and I gave her… Gideon :) This one took forever but it was fun – I love Gideon’s clothing design and I had a great time creating his accessories (his earrings are lockpicks, teehee!).
If the texture looks weird on this one, it’s because I started experimenting with Glaze and Nightshade. Like most artists, writers and other creative types, I am not at all interested in generative AI. So, I’ve started to use Glaze and Nightshade to alter my art before putting it online. Both Glaze and Nightshade alter images from a “machine” perspective while maintaining (most) of the image’s integrity from a human perspective – however, there are visual artifacts and, depending on the piece, these can be more or less obvious to human viewers.
For most of my “finished” pieces going forward, I’ll be applying Glaze and/or Nightshade; however, I plan to upload clean copies to my ko-fi for subscribers. My usual updates there are still completely ✨freeee✨
