Please, I Need To Know,

Forgot to upload my new pfp QwQ TW: minor blood

here’s the flower meaning: sunflower - loyalty purple hyacinth - sorrow belladonna - silence poppy (generally) - imagination forget-me-not - depression marigold - creativity

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. 

Before I forget to post, here's a drawing of me and my friend @insener playing hypixel tnt duels :3

Our favorite little minecraft dancers

you go girl they're here for the vibes

Me? Drawing Jonathan Sims again? When am I NOT

Let me introduce Finn, but properly

This is Finn. He’s from a futuristic homebrew DnD campaign. He’s went through so much already. He’s a guusari race (homebrew race of humans with animal features) and a wizard. He has an aku (a special organ that gives you a power specifically designed for your entire life) which is a mist he can control and make himself into mist to sneak around. He’s 22 and trans. He goes to combat school with all of the other player characters. He has an adoptive daughter who’s a red oni.

It's you! Despite everything, it's still you...

my boy has grown up so much! And suffered so much too, he's lost so many people close to him and all the emotional manipulation he's gone through, plus with becoming more and more hurt by the day, loosing his arm, loosing one of his eyes and mutilating his ear, and then loosing his other eye. At least he's now in happy retirement with his daughter and the woman he loves, opening a bakery and fulfilling his dream finally.

Newest hyperfixation be damned

It's the cars movies

Have the Fabulous Hudson Hornet!

God I love Doc's character so much-

The cars trilogy has no right being that good and well fleshed out (and I do also mean, cars 2, it's actually really good)

Somebody just walked past me that had a shirt that was literally the Canadian flag and on the maple leaf there was written "superior"

Now I can't stop imagining Etho wearing a shirt like that-

Scitties :D

if it weren’t already abundantly clear, a PSA:
