Well, I have to keep things tasteful. That's what distinguishes erotica from pornography.

You mean you never saw Rassah's coffee table? (Actually, that's probably for the best...)

I suspect it's Cloudflare being a bastard. Is there a CAPTCHA on d.facdn.net? And if so, can you access the image after solving it?

Yup. Just a little joke.

This is the official NSFW discussion thread for my eyebrow-raising entry in 10th anniversary art contest. Please don't merit this post; merit the original post instead.

Since this is a celebration for the whole forum, there are no local rules and everyone's invited (even The-One-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named). Just remember that all global rules remain in effect, in particular Rule 10: No embedded NSFW images. Links only. Label any such links as NSFW even though that's probably redundant.

With that out of the way, let's get this party started!

Since it seems nobody else knows how to properly celebrate such a momentous occasion as this, here's my long-awaited entry (in more ways than one). Admittedly not the most directly related to bitcointalk.org, but we could hardly celebrate its 10th anniversary without everything depicted here, could we now? Be sure not to miss the afterparty in the foxhole, with "all-access" passes available for merit/trust gangsters.

Note: To avoid derailing this thread with what I'm sure will be many questions, comments, and raised eyebrows, please post all such remarks in the thread I created for just that purpose: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196347.0. [NSFW]

And party hard!*



Digital drawing from scratch using reference photos taken by myself, of myself (no, I'm not posting them, for obvious reasons). I also used as a reference a picture of a certain familiar feline who is sure to deny all involvement. Some logos and trademarks were traced from references, some drawn freehand. Text set in Ubuntu and Haettenschweiler. All trademarks are property of their respective owners.

*Don't party too hard: I nearly broke a tooth holding that whisky bottle like that. Don't try this at home, kids.

In that case, I apologise.

Wait, I'm confused. Did Mamaecrypto actually create the template for Canva or just use it as Blockchayne did? Because this whole discussion is completely ridiculous if it's the latter.

No, you used the design. She created it. It is insulting for you to even suggest that they're the same thing.

I've never heard such nonsense in all my life.

Oh, no, you should definitely not let your lawyer find out about the evidence against you. It's not like that's something they might want to prepare for, or anything. Lawyers really enjoy being put on the spot when evidence they haven't heard of is suddenly introduced in court. Everyone loves surprises, after all.

Really, of all the stupid things you've said, I think this one takes the cake.

Creating a tool doesn't make you an artist.
 
Actual artists (especially the artists who created the original works you're using) would disagree.

As someone who does actual (handmade) digital art, I can confirm that running an existing artwork or photograph through a filter doesn't qualify as art, and would also go as far to say that it's just poorly-disguised plagiarism unless you actually created the original piece on which it's based.

(In an unrelated note, my contest entry (which I spent a non-trivial amount of time and effort on) is near completion, and will probably be submitted within the next day or two.)

Should this be marked NSFW?

Such a remarkable likeness!

Thirty-first week paid.

It's not just you; LoyceV also ran into this error. Don't worry; the limit is for viewing images, not posting them, so everyone else can see your image fine, at least until they hit the limit, too. It's almost certainly the art contest: presumably when theymos set this limit, he didn't figure on there being a thread where people would be viewing so many large images at once.

Just watch your RAM usage, especially if you're using multiple layers. It can quickly get out of hand at these absurd resolutions, and losing your work to a crash or OOM killer isn't fun (save often and keep backups).

Ahem. And just what do you mean by that?

It's a meme from the very early days of Bitcoin. You just had to be there, I guess.

Judging by the entries submitted so far, many of which seem to consist of the text "bitcointalk.org" or a Bitcoin logo slapped on an assembly of entirely unattributed Google image search results, I think there needs to be some clarification on this rule.

Is a black-bar censored preview acceptable for embedding? I have a slightly funny forum-censorship related joke planned (consider it part of the art).

I like Last of the V8s' idea better. I think I know a way to pull it off without too much controversy. Stay tuned!

That'll be tough to beat. Truly, I have my work cut out for me!
