GLAZE 2.0 IS OUT TODAY FOR DOWNLOAD! Go protect your art!

NEW: Glaze 2.0 (Apr 14) We are excited to announce the release of version 2.0 of Glaze. This new version significantly improved Glaze robustness against the newest AI models, and requires less time to glaze images. Most notably:

ALSO, if anyone wants to get on webglaze, I have a super user account and can hand out invites! I just need to see some art examples (or links for where to find them) to verify someone isn't an AI user.

This is genuinely the most fun Ive ever had interacting with people on tumblr. Once staff takes the boops away can we all please continue to just like. Interact? Send asks and messages and comment and tag and PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU ALL

Hello boss I'm sorry I can't come to work today because Our Website has reintroduced Facebook poking but with cat paws for April Fool's Day and my calendar is very full keeping up with all the booping I need to do. thank you for your understanding

I started my day off by twisting my ankle horribly at work, and no joke while I was sitting in urgent care waiting to get some X-rays I was thinking "oh boy this means I can go home and do so much booping later"

Accidentally just booped myself

I did say I was going for EVERYONE

DARGONS???

I’ve had a huge love affair with the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik, and I’ve been wanting to take a stab at creating my own head-canons for the dragon designs for a really long time. That very first moleskine page is from 2010 I think.

Tons of other life things have prevented me from pursuing it, but the sketches leak out every now and then. Maybe some day I’ll get to finish them!

As you can see my favorites are the Kaziliks.

I saw recently that some of my ancient Temeraire art got found again and that makes me so happy because I still have SO MANY ideas for the dragons from those books.

Also I'm trying my best to somehow catch the attention of the folks turning it into an animated series (if that is still happening, who knows these days in the world of animation).

Anyway glad that people are still enjoying these!

I still have 5 webglaze invites I could hand out from my superuser account (but also I'm sure if I go bother the team they'll give me more). If anybody wants access to the online version of Glaze give me a shout!

I have more invites now! Send an ask or message (with details on where to find your artwork to verify no ai) and I'll hand out some links!

Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”

Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*

Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.

Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.

Like majority of digital artists doesnt actually have a high end gaming pc setup. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to run such a heavy program just so we can feel somewhat ok with sharing our drawings online. It’s ridiculous. I CAN NOT nightshade or glaze my artworks even if i wanted to.

I have a pretty decent gaming PC, and despite this I had to close ALL the running programs I had running in the background (aka Discord and Opera) to let it shade my art, and the result was honestly quite awful even on the lowest setting.

I have already shared it around, but if you can't run it try Artshield.

It will add a big watermark all over your piece (there's also a check button to be sure it worked). It works best on pieces with a colored background, with white backgrounds or B/W piece it won't always work, but it's worth trying it.

Also, post at the lowest resolution possible (I go with 72dpi, keeping the highest one for clients and Ko-Fi rewards only), maybe add a noise effect too. I always did it but I read a while ago it makes a bit difficult for the A/I to scrape the piece. Not sure if it's still true, but still, worth a shot.

Glaze and Nightshade are great tool, but they're sadly unusable for a lot of people, and I hope they'll find a solution.

Hey I made a post of available options to people who don't have a powerful tech + tips to make glazing/shading not as ugly :]

Just to clarify some things, the only reason it's hard to get a web glaze account right now is because the team behind it are all full time academics folks who are SWAMPED with so many duties. They're working towards getting more help to screen requests, but it's like 5 people or something running the whole thing. This is a tool in its most baby infant stage, don't write it off just yet because they're still working out the details and coming up with plans to expand the team behind it.

Also they absolutely are planning to add Nightshade to the web version! They just need some free time to get that all sorted.

With that being said, I do have a webglaze super user account and I can hand out invites if anybody needs one.
