Makes sense!

Do you find hashtags make a difference on bluesky? I haven't used them much here, but maybe I should

If you see this, post a knight

Nice! Feels like pastels :)

Love the texture. Is it digital or traditional?

A screenshot of twitter from Anthropic’s official account stating the following: We've identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot Al, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

1/7 Recent unsealed documents from Bartz v Anthropic showed an internal essay “An Economic Model for Compensating Data Producers” by Anthropic’s CEO, 2021.

Anthropic knew of the importance and cost of our works. They then willfully decided to steal it. They do what they condemn

Lets break it down👇

Nice. Love the colors!

This looks great! Love the oily texture

Ooh I just made a bird art :)
Post bird art!

Post bird art!

Ah, right! That matches

Ah, I think I see what you mean. The painting with the guy with the green hood?

Pine cones of evil!

Thank you! I think that alone took about 80% of all time spent

Thanks so much! :)

This was one of the most difficult illustrations I've made. I'll probably redo some part later, but for now, it's done

Nice! love the texture and colors. The white, cyan, black and gold really match well

This looks great :)

It really is hard to pick, yes :)

Any current favorite?

We see Dean Cornwell's painting It's Hard to Explain Murder. The man we see is in clear distress, while the woman seems to be halfheartedly consoling him. Something terrible either has happened or is about to happen. Given the title of the work it already has: while it is not made explicit, the cane in the lower right corner is pointing accusingly at the man.

We see Dean Cornwell's painting It's Hard to Explain Murder. SETTING THE MOOD The grim narrative is reflected in the depressive mood of the painting. This is achieved through desaturated colours, large dark shapes, and rounded hanging forms which also echo the man’s posture. The main element contrasting this harmony of gloom is the sharp form of the cane spearing him. Finally, the downwards diagonal of the elements and lines create an unstable mood. The same story painted in bright colors and arranged horizontally would feel quite different.

We see Dean Cornwell's painting It's Hard to Explain Murder. GUIDING ATTENTION THROUGH FOCAL POINTS Cornwell guides us through the story using two focal points. The main one is centered on the characters. These have a high pictoral weight through the simple fact that characters and faces draw attention. Added to this is that the strongest value contrast in the painting, the white collars against the dark clothes, is also reserved for this area, The second focal point is formed by the table in the lower right corner, which holds the accusatory cane. The contrast of the bright table against the dark background and the contrast of the clutter against the empty floor both lend this spot visual weight. My attention then bounces around between the figures and the table, occasionally following the curve of the sofa, lingering for a bit and then being sent right back to the two figures.

KEEPING IT SIMPLE A final observation concerns the readability of the painting as a result of the compression and arrangement of the values. The range we see is very limited with darks, lights, and very few midtones. When you look through your eyelashes, these all blend together into two clear groups. Further simplification is achieved by connecting nearly all the darks into one big shape, making it easier to read, and ensuring no stray focal points are battling for attention with the story being told. It took me a long while before I actually noticed the carpet on the floor

Hey All! I occasionally do analyses of paintings I like to find out why they work for me, and I thought other people might be interested. Here I looked at the composition of Dean Cornwell's - It's Hard to Explain Murder

Thank you! :)
