  • Revisiting the Dex and Daina fanclub I made a few years ago, and I'm proud of the dedication I tried to put into it. I want to update it again, maybe with a song of the week or smth so I'm not just sharing my own art lol
    Finally got my instagram account up to date with my twitter! It feels good not having to separate my original art and fanart
    I'm too tired to care about work, I just wanna draw

    Already three days behind my countdown thread, so I'll sketch for a bit
    So I ended up deactivating my current art account, I'm thinking on reposting the stuff I had on my Dex and Daina thread, just need to change the watermark 🤔
    With all the changes going on with Twitter really has me worried for my art account.

    I decided to start over in hopes to get known for stuff other than my fanart, but then I lost motivation to draw for a while. Now that I'm starting to draw again, I hear that my tweets might get suppressed!

    What's worse is that in my new acc I don't have a lot of followers to interact with me. I'm considering just deleting that account and going back to Alien1Aia, fix it up a little. I don't know, it feels easier since I hit my niche there and can rebrand there. I don't know what to do...

    Basically there's this plan with Twitter Blue that you have to pay $8 a month to get verified. It doesn't seem that big of a deal, but news came out that the algorithm is gonna put more priority to those verified accounts, which is really bad for lots of artists. There's this other thing where tweets with more replies are getting seen, which doesn't do good in my favor since my current followers don't interact. Because of all this, it's super hard to get noticed with my new account.

    Now that I'm getting comfortable sharing fanart on my new art acc, I wonder if I should bring back the Dex and Daina countdown next month...
    Drawing is hard to do nowadays. I use my laptop mainly for assignments, so afterward a screen's the last thing I want to see lol

    Funnily enough, way back when I first got a tablet I soon after started getting really into doing ink brush and watercolor stuff. There's something about the kinesthetic sensations of traditional media that I started to miss after doing digital art.

    I opened up the files on my phone and found a lot of vocaloid songs I downloaded a few years ago! After listening to some, I found it so wild how my music taste changed in just a short amount of time. It was also good since it revived some old favorites for me.
    Dex and Dainas birthday is saturday.... I gotta think of something quick to make for the occassion
    I told myself in the past that these posts are horrible, but I wanted to make this point. I really did try not to be too much of a downer like most of the ones I've seen there.
    Today was my first day of school, but this time I'm actually in the school djfn

    Since I couldn't begin my vocational course like most of the students the first semester, my schedule is full of classes I have left before I graduate. That said half of my classes I have with the seniors which feels a little different than I'm used to.
    Since today's Leon and Lola's anniversary, I also wanna talk about one of the earliest landmarks in vocal synth "history" . I'm pretty sure some here will already know this but-

    This year also is the 60th anniversary of when some computer programmers had an IBM 7094 sing "Daisy Bell." Both creepy and fascinating to many people, this really shows how far vocal synthesis has come in the past couple of decades.


    While this may not exactly lead to the direct introduction of the vocal synths we know and love today (I still don't know), it can be inferred that the idea that a computer can sing definitely came from this event.

    There are some covers of this song with some vocaloids, including this one from 7 years ago which I think is cute.

    I think there should be more covers of this song with every vocal synth. Doesn't matter if it's VOCALOID, UTAU, Synth V---every synth should sing this.

    I might repost this on Twitter later, I'm still debating if I should log back in though.

    Cool! I'd heard about this song/the computer singing it, but didn't know what the name of the song was. It really is neat to see how far synth technology has come! Covering this song would probably be a lot of fun!
