Orphan Works, A Response from the Creator.

=Joshi38:iconJoshi38: reports, April 13
There has been a lot of controversy over the proposed Orphan Works Bill, concerning the fears of artists who believe, with inception of the Bill, their art may be used freely and legally without consent of themselves, the copyright holder.

I emailed James Boyle, co creator of the Bill to address these issues and clarify the mistakes certain bloggers have made in interpreting the Bill.

Aviary: Creation on the fly

^skifi:iconskifi: reports, February 5
Hahaha, well, with a headline like "Aviary", and written by an Anthro Gallery Director, I bet you're expecting something Animal-related, but.... Nope! ;) Believe it or not, this news article is not about birds, but about a lot of tools to create all kinds of art. Are you interested enough already? Then keep reading!!!

Aviary is a suite of web-based applications for people who create: From image editing to typography to music to 3D to video, they have a tool for artists of all genres. And, you know, when they mention "Art", then the deviantART members come to my mind as potential users, since I have never seen a more creative community online, never ever! :D Let me tell you a bit more about them, so I can try to lure you to check the place, then maybe tempt you to use those tools, then maybe encourage you to upload more amazing deviations to share your art with us here! ^^


Aviary Tools

All Aviary Tools are based right in your browser or as downloadable AIR applications. To keep the "Aviary" spirit, they all have bird names, and so far they are:

    • Phoenix: An image editor.
      Toucan: Color swatches and palettes creator.
      Peacock: Computer algorithm-based pattern generator.
      Raven: Vector edition tool.
      Hummingbird: 3D Modeller and skinner.
      Myna: Audio editor.
      Roc: Music generator.
      Starling: Video editor.
      Owl; Desktop publishing layout editor.
      Penguin: Word processing software geared towards creative writers.
      Pigeon: Painting simulator
      Tern: Terrain generator.
      Horus: Font editor.
      Woodpecker: Smart image resizer using seam carving.
      Rookery: Free network to store data in.
      Hawk: Digital content marketplace.
      Crane: Custom image product creator.
      Eagle: An online application that can identify complex data about an image based on the pixel patterns (i.e. which specific camera an image originally came from)


  • Aviary tools all communicate and relate to each other. To illustrate an example: You can import a swatch from Toucan into Phoenix, while doing complex bitmap processing of a 3D object developed in Hummingbird. Once finished, we would love to see it in your deviantART gallery and let all your viewers enjoy it! :boogie:


    All in all

    Aviary is a suite of rich internet applications geared for artists of all genres. From image editing to typography to music to 3D to video, it seems they have a tool for everything. And, they all are free during their beta period: How can you start using the Aviary tools? Access is by invitation only, BUT you can request an early bird invitation at
    http://a.viary.com/. As soon as your invitation code hatches they will send it to your inbox.


    Now I want to ask you: Which one of those cool tools would you like to try? Leave a comment here and tell us! ;) *luring wink*

    (And don't forget to +fav (love) this news article to promote it, spread it all around and let every artist get to know about it!!!) :giggle:
