Hi newcomers! My name is Artic!🌟
I like making stories, designing characters, and drawing my (many) OCs!
I'm working hard on making stuff that feature them, so that people can read about them someday.
Hope you stick around for the journey! Thanks for following! 🎉

Kona returned to the stars. We always joked she was a space alien sent to earth to pose (somewhat unconvincingly) as a dog and learn everything she could about humans. She had so many wonderful experiences, made so many friends, and gave us so much joy every single day. I'll miss you, Kona bear. 🤍

Got a mini vac for my room specifically which is very convenient but also made me irritated at the amount of hair that ends up on my floor even though I vacuum every 2 days now

the only thing gatekeeping art is livable wages. which ironically are being gatekept from artists from people who don't want to hire them.

No joke, the very best comics artists I know are people that can't stop drawing. If you go to dinner with them they will draw on napkins if they don't have their sketchbooks.
Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

I think many people who postulate about AI’s necessity as a "talent equalizer" (etc.) are more infatuated with the idea of being seen as an artist—with an imposed mythos that usually boils down to personal acclaim and a measure of success within capitalism—than they‘re interesting in making art.

the argument that AI somehow democratizes art relies on an assumption that it's artists (defined in this case as successful content creators) who are presumed to be withholding tools/talent and are therefore the cause of inequalities inherent within capitalism, rather than capitalism itself.

I think that's partially why there's so much vitriol levied at artists in these arguments—bc the artist's desire to create has been conflated by AI enthusiasts with a desire to make money. art for them exists to signify status, success—so theirs has to instantly be "good," which is why they need AI.

writing a whole ass thread about how artists are the 'privileged elite' when 99% of us are on the cusp of financial ruin just gives away that you're fantasizing about effortlessly gaining a skillet and getting mad when you're reminded it's a fantasy
