I finally managed to upload the new year video! (2 weeks after new years…. :T) Editing vlog style videos is a nightmare, the censoring takes me way too f long. But I like making vids so screw it :D

WUUUU FINISHED HALF THE KEYCHAIN DESIGN!
Really proud of this one, took me a long time, and I’d still like to take it further into an oil painting look, but I love it. #art #anime #manga #fanart #dunmeshi #dungeonmeshi #falin

Finally back to drawing fanart after years, producing stuff for enjoyment and an upcoming animecon. A lot of nostalgia was poured into this one.

I have, once again, changed my profile picture everywhere.
I get the itch to redraw the time thing every year or so, never quite feels right.

I think this time I might keep it for more than a year 😂.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.

I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

Hi again! I was really busy this week preparing for a fair, and now it’s over!
I’m so grateful to everybody who bought stuff from me!
“The Glowing Prairie” and “The Bear Skin” were sold.
I will be participating in an anime con next year in april, here in CR.

I hate hyperrealism, but I did as much as my brain could.

Repost with your first art of the year! 🎨

I’m not sure which one was my first this year, honestly. Maybe this one?

Repost with your first art of the year! 🎨

(I'm refusing to repost an ugly warm-up sketch, so it's the first finished rendered art of the year XD this raffle prize winner, Dabih for @/ennie)
I'm sad to see both improvements and not so many xD but I do see I was in my "hair is so hard" crying era

If you didn't know, I was banned by Midjourney 3 times for exposing their infringement and plagiarism. Their AI can very easily recreate stolen training data (even without naming it), so here's a thread of images you can use to shut AI proponents down. 🧵

Some artists suggested that we pin a summary of Glaze, Nightshade & other projects here. Instead, I will point them to Melissa Heikkilä's article on our lab and projects. It is the definitive story of who we are, how we got here, and why we do what we do.

The AI lab waging a guerrilla war over exploitative AI
The tools Glaze and Nightshade are giving artists hope that they can fight back against AI that hoovers internet data to train. Are they enough?

Idk who needs to hear this but using reference isn’t cheating and needing to look at reference doesn’t make you any less of any artist and tbh if anyone says otherwise they are toxic as all hell.

“The Glowing Prairie.”
Stories are at the heart of everything I do. Recently I keep thinking of how much I loved my storybooks as a child, how much I loved staring at the illustrations.

Hey folks, a reminder:

Don't use Gen ai.

You can either afford an artist/stock art, or you can't.

If you can't, you can make your own art/designs or abstain.

Or you can cheaper your entire brand and communicate to your audience that you peddle low-effort garbage by using a plagiarism machine.
