Day 12

Rough cool down sketch at the end of a long day. Black rock shooter from memory, might look up a reference and clean her up at some point.

I was suppose to design a spaceship for a class. I designed a crystal bird mecha instead. Oops.

I’ve realized that mobile Tumblr is stupid, and no one can find my commissions page. Here is my basic commission info, if you are interested find my full information here.

I TOTALLY THOUGHT I POSTED THIS LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO! This is a commission for the amazing @mistyaria she was amazing to work with. thanks again misty for putting up with my nonsense schedule during finals.

Chalk art day 1 6hrs in.

For Wowaka

Photoshop finals, I'm almost done. Animal crossing Christmas party invite, and a ad for the pokecenter.

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

Tiny tiefling paladin!! Just a self indulgent drawing of my DND character. She is so bitter.

Here we go round four!!!! Wow I must follow a lot of people that have gotten this ask.

My username is from a character that I made up when I was like 6, basically her appearance and name is all I remember about her original design. I am almost done with finals! I have a sonic the hedgehog wallet, which I love, but it is sadly falling apart.
