Got reminded that I drew this thing I saw so many draw.

A pin-up style drawing of Willow in lace tights. He is still fully armored up though. His normal leg armor was changed to a less sensible one with heels. I am sure Douglas is normal about this.

Please be patient with me as I feverishly work to convert 3 years of coding to alternative software.

This sucks

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.

The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: I want to clarify some things and I apologize ahead of time if this sounds rude.

It's still work in the progress but since people seem to have complaints about allowing AI in SAMMI.

AI has always been a thing in SAMMIs source code itself.

SAMMI is a tool that allows the users to do whatever they want with it.
The change the previous DEV Team made about forbidding AI art will be reverted, but there will be the necessity to let people know if you use AI art.
I also will revert some other changes like the extension policy.

Why am I doing this?
It's easy, because every person should be able to decide on their own if they want to use AI or not as well as if they want to support AI.
If you can not respect this decission, it's ok.
Everyone can have their own oppinion about this and if your oppinion is different, feel free to no longer support or use SAMMI.

Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: since things are getting way more out of hand now, please read this and if you don't wanna use SAMMI when it allows AI and uses AI in the source code, please leave the server instead of getting rude in the lobby

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · Oct 6

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

this is why i explicitly tell people to not leave anything in the payment note

Gilbert #NewDeal4Animation @discord12395.bsky.social · Oct 3

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.
