I'm looking for an artist who can turn details from photos of about 10-15 paintings and sculptures into clear B&W line drawings for printing in a book. Artist should be proficient in Gothic art and familiar with late medieval/renaissance material culture eg. from a background in living history or the SCA or costuming. My budget is not huge but I can pay. Not sure what hashtags to use. Examples of an original and a redrawing below. #boostsAppreciated #ArtistWanted

behold the "HTML bomb"
it's a defensive counterattack on AI web-scrapers that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
the bomb file *looks* like a tiny HTML page, but when scraped -- or even requested by a regular browser ...
... it unpacks into a huge-ass 10-gig HTML page ...
... which quickly crashes any browser or scraper

I regret to inform you that this is how basically every company's internal security operates. blow all the budget on the expensive shiny box that can ostensibly tell you when an attacker even farts in the vicinity of a server, then ignore all the logs.
