Anyone with open commissions who wants to do some #art for NetBSD?
We've got a budget for paying for some concept art and can later talk about working with you on some merch. DM us!
Naturally, we cannot accept contributions using generative AI.

@netbsd I wish you good luck finding an artist to make your artworks, and I salute your no AI policy for it! 🧡
Here is a little watercolor sketch freely inspired by your logo.
@davidrevoy @netbsd @mboelen That’s awesome! We might need a logo for #bsidesluxembourg2027, if you take commissions or volunteer other things for non profits like us. We just need to lock down a venue first.
I am actually quite confident if you're looking for people with artistic skills then Fedi is a good bet. There are a good few on here, so there is a chance you may find someone. Many are here to get away from the world of AI generated slop that is impacting their very lives.
@davidrevoy @netbsd Well, I for one hope this whole David Revoy / NetBSD / concept art thing works out happily for all concerned.
Je vois puffy la mascotte de fish linux dans la palette à guache qui se trouve sur la gauche du dessin :)
@davidrevoy @netbsd As I am not aware if you know about this software already. I am in the process of redoing all of my photography internet uploads with this software and thought you might be interested. It helps to protect your incredible art from being plagarized by "AI". The software is called Glaze.

@atraidez @netbsd Yes, well aware (unfortunately), and I'll do the short version: it is a AI bro scam, boosted by a large (and successful) marketing effort. It was defeated on day 1, and now remain with a user base like a cult, especially appreciated from non technical user who are ready to believe in it because it sounds like the only "tech" option. But it doesn't work.
That's sad, I wish something like that would work, be open-source, would run on Linux, and be done by serious peoples.
@atraidez @netbsd Sources: see Cara social network recent news, who had 12 millions of artworks scrapped three time on August by AI dataset. The 'Glaze' on a big part of them (it was a premium built-in service) changed nothing.
Computer effort, electricity for nothing. 😩 The illusion of protection. Sadly.
@davidrevoy @netbsd
You were the furst that popped into mind when I saw their post this morning. 😁
@davidrevoy omg she's got a scouter 🥺
@davidrevoy What's the scooter for? What's your power level?
@citadel9 Hehe, I just wanted a "tech" detail, showing she was using a digital object 😊

My daughter did the backseat driving for Dad who did the Inkscaping, to create "Tommy the Toaster", a kawaii toaster (looks a bit similar to the Oster-brand one that NetBSD notoriously runs on).
I've got the SVG source if interested
Thanks for thinking about me for this, Stefano, and I love NetBSD, but I don't accept commisioned art (I only do it for free).

My commissions are open, and my krita is ready. My relevant experience includes extensive work for another highly portable computer operating system and having briefly used netbsd more than twenty years ago when it was on a cd inside a magazine my mom bought me from the grocery store. I still have the cd, if you need to see it.
