April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberSo this is obviously a picture of an actual cockatiel that was airbushed over, a cursory search found the original. The artistry in that I leave up to the viewer to decide.

MemberNope, it wasn't airbrushed over (' v' ), it was painted from scratch. I have the PSD with all layers for proof as well, and yes I did use that picture as the reference.

MemberAs further evidence, careful comparison reveals that some features have shifted position, which would be unlikely for simply brushing over the image. Consider, for instance, that the painted beak is slightly longer than the photo beak.

MemberI thought it was really bizarre there's a random picture of a cockatiel on e621 with a lot of upvotes, and then I opened it and wow... can't believe it's a drawing. Amazing work! My sister's cockatiel looks just like this drawing. ovo

MemberI cannot believe the immaturity of the people in this comment section who think they're going to put the artist in their place by posting the reference image. What a joke.
