Hit a weird spot again, and getting a feel with clip studio. So I’m working, just on a character sheet… Maybe a few more 

How did I not catch this till now…

So I will be posting more art on my Tumblr now due to Art station being a butt.

loish:

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. 

I put up my little sapling with my nerd core on it

Was doing some custom designs again, this was a first test for the layout and to see if the ink would look good.  Now I can make a final and wear it for when one of my favorites hits my state and maybe relate with someone.

Well this boy o wont be seen forever but I wanted a claim on a band name and make a logo. Because with my luck a real one will use it, get super popular then call me out on “stealing” their name.

Episode 2 is starting to roll along a little, I’m just getting stuck in spots fairly bad 

Got my copy today but still continuing of inktober
