okay this might sound weird...

tomorrow i have a speaking exam and ai can be one of the topics i talk about. of course i'm gonna focus on the negatives since there are little to no benefits. i remember you saying how ai negatively effected you but i can't see the post. if it doesn't bother you can i use that as a example in my exam and can you tell me again what happened?

Oh, of course! Though, I hope this still reaches you in time. And yeah, I can't ever find my own posts either. I'm not sure how to fix the tags >< 

Well, I thought I had everything set out for me for a while because I was going to work on different projects as an artist. But then Midjourney became open to the public. 

When I was in South Korea, I started to work with a start-up and made art for their product, but then they decided to use AI instead because it was cheaper. I also met up with the owner of another company that asked me to design characters for an app. But when I got home, they already had the characters made by AI? Yet, he still wanted me to trace over the generated images to fix Midjourney's mistakes, though "as you can understand, we'll pay less." 

There were a few more instances like this. I also received an offer to create a few pieces of art so these could be used to train an AI model. Basically, every project that I was going to work on had been ruined by AI 🥲

In this ask section, may i ask you maybe one day you have an idea to draw adult sasuke with sharingan in both eyes? 🥲 i kinda miss his sharingan😭

Thank you so much and I LOVE YOU ARTS TO THE MOON AND STILL THINKING DO I WANT TO COMEBACK TO EARTH 😭❤😭❤😭❤😭❤

Hi @old-file 💕! aaaah thankyou so much!! Yes, I might, for now please accept this one ^^! (Also, I miss it too ><)

[tamelee]

Hi!

Could you please draw Sasuke with a ponytail, like one that hangs down , to highlight more of his face shape? It would probably look cute!

✍️ Like these? Sorta?

[tamelee]

i wish when sasuke got lipstick in his curse mark transformation he got nail polish too

a very excellent point 👌

[tamelee]

I saw someone on twitter being really triggered by sasunaru art where they kiss but I say make them kiss more

yeah I agree with you

[tamelee]

Love your last art. Im not a huge fan of narusasu because canon ships all the way but your last art is good as theyre not too gay in it and us shippers can enjoy sasuke or naruto art without the gay

"AS THEY'RE NOT TOO GAY IN IT"

"WITHOUT THE GAY"

[tamelee]

Do you draw anything else

yeah. I was thinking about drawing Naruto and Sasuke holding hands but I figured that'd be too gay

[tamelee]

i think my recs would be (hoping these are not overused)

A World of Truth

Asymmetry

Sasuke Says

i'll let it grow wild in my veins

Flesh and Bone

there are 2 more but i don't remember the names but it went like

1)sasuke was in an arranged marriage but naruto was jealous

2)sns body swap

Ahw, thank you for the recommendations! I'm sharing them in case others are interested as well, but I haven't checked them yet! I'm not sure if there are ones I read already. I'll do so later ^^🌷

[tamelee]

Whatever youre doing with your art keep it up cuz you improve lots tamee. I miss blank period sns art though cuz those are my fav 😭😤 will you make them?

ahhh thankyou for saying that ;-;💕 I do hope so... and yes of course! I am currently going through a SNS Pt. 1 obsession though ><

[tamelee]

Hi! Can I request an art of sasuke posing for naruto in a skirt?

Hi! I'm sorry but requests are currently cl-.. no, I agree actually

[tamelee]

pls bottom naruto is disgusting stop drawing this ooc cringe

Eh? And it hadn't even been a full day.

Anyway, do you know what this means?:

It means… that I don’t give a damn about your whiny gibberish about this top/bottom bullshit, because it sounds incredibly silly. (And wrong because I draw both?)

It’s fine to have a preference, good for you (I have one too!), but if all you care about between a character-dynamic is the single notion which establishes a rule within a fandom that demands only this particular dick in only that particular booty and nothing else, while dividing yourselves between "us and them" while seeing the people who like the same exact characters as your "enemy" and treating them as such— well, 

I have nothing to say to you, I couldn’t care less what you think about me and I don’t know you. 

But for the sake of other creators who are often a target also, some which I know quit because of this… there is a little something I'd like to say about these servers:

You don’t think I (we) know what is said in there and by who? 👀 That your rules of "what is said on here stays here" with a bunch of people online that you don't know, is actually respected? Why do you think I never join any. And bet your ass that I'm not the only one. This constant fighting between NS/SN is such an embarrassment for this fandom, seriously. I hope you realize that.

Because, instead of encouraging a (new) creator to share something about the characters you claim to love (for fucking free) you go off chastise them for not “doing it right”/“your way”, pretending it's some unspoken commission no one knew of or was paid for. Instead of being happy there’s still so much creative contribution for characters from a story that ended years ago, you go complain under fanfics and dishearten writers, often grinning away with your little server-“friends” and make fun of work someone poured their heart in. Or, you huff, puff and breathe fire as you make plans to cancel them out of pure bitterness, to the point (especially new) creators are too scared and dispirited to ever share anything again. It's easy to do anonymously, aye? And if you think that doesn’t affect their lives and sends them right back into a crestfallen pit of dark hell because it prevents them to do/share the single thing in life that gave them a bit of joy, then...

Congratulations; you’re a heartless bastard.

And you, as a fan, did yourself dirty too.

Do you know how many people don’t want to share anything at all for this fandom because you people leave comments, tags, asks, tweets constantly complaining about an incorrect portrayal of the (in your opinion) only acceptable dynamic, like a bunch a brats? Do you? Because I’ve talked to quite a few of these discouraged creators, they have to hope for the best and pray they’re spared from your scrutiny. I receive it from both sides every now and then.

Again, congratulations: you’re the reason there’s less chance of you getting what you want in the first place. 

Do you... really not realize?

The more you squabble with "your enemy" (lol) the more it affects the "us" you care about while the rest of us just bask in the glory that is SNS/NSN and couldn't care less about what you think/have to say. So, keep everyone else out of it and go mope elsewhere.

But, between you and me? There are better ways to share what you think is right. Make something yourself, because what's stopping you?

You’re perfectly capable, it doesn’t have to be art or a fic, maybe there’s just something in the story that you really enjoyed— write about it. Make a meta. Post the panel, show the moment that determined your undying love for this single dynamic and why— whatever.  Because, wouldn't it be nice having someone encourage you to create something you like? 😬 Especially because you and your server feel so strongly about it? And then you don't have to depend on others either?

Wouldn't it be nice?

Well?

Hm!?

Try it, ffs.

[tamelee]

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!! SNS WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!

[tamelee]

Naruto looks better in your drawings than he does in canon lol. Sasuke looks good both ways tho.

Ah I appreciate it <3 but Kishi's Naruto drawings are honestly in a league of its own 🧡🧡🧡 He's so beautiful it hurts ;-;✨
