support HUMAN artists, not AI‼️

AI generated images are NOT art. art is CREATED, not GENERATED.

this is not just about taking jobs from artists (which is already a huge deal), it’s also about devaluing art itself, turning it into mass-produced, empty and soulless content. it’s heartbreaking to see AI stealing from real artists: from Studio Ghibli to smaller creators like us.

personally, we started our art journey by reinterpreting what we love: music, TV series, anime and transforming it into our vision inspired by the 90’s anime that we grew up with. when we create our illustrations, we try to capture the emotion and love we feel for the subject, aiming to tell a story with each drawing. ever since AI was created, we have had many people asking if our art is AI generated. honestly, it’s heartbreaking every single time. for us, art is a deeply human experience that we’ve been dedicating ourselves to for seven years. creating from nothing takes dedication, skill, and an emotional investment that, in our opinion, AI simply can’t capture.

you’ve probably seen your feed flooded with AI generated images in a “Studio Ghibli style”. trends like these reinforce the idea that art can be easily replicated and devalued. the future of artists is more uncertain than ever. we don’t know if in a few years we’ll still be able to make a living from this, since many companies are adopting the mindset of “why should i pay someone for their well-earned work when a machine can do it for free in an instant?” that mindset is the real problem: the way society is starting to perceive art.

art is essential to human life. many people realized this during the pandemic: what would we do without music, movies, books, that bring us comfort? art is more than just the final product. it’s about the process, struggles, and personal growth that comes with it. when you create, you grow, learn, and challenge yourself. AI erases that, replacing it with instant and shallow replication. real art brings people together, evoking emotions and reminding us of what it means to be human.

relying on AI to make art isn’t innovation, it’s avoiding the challenge of creating something meaningful. AI tools like these are being pushed as "the future," but what does that say about us? replacing human artistry with shallow, mass-produced content takes away humanity from art, do we really want to be part of a world where art is just another disposable product? what value do we place on creativity?

if you’ve made it this far, it means you care about these issues. let’s raise our voices together and speak up. don’t consume AI generated images. value and respect creativity. SUPPORT REAL HUMAN ARTISTS.

These are my children, displaced from one place to another in search of a safe place in the midst of this "cruel war that has been killing innocent people for two years and is still ongoing." They have felt nothing but fear and hunger, deprived of their most basic rights. They need food, safety, and a dignified life that every child deserves. Therefore, I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support them and extend a helping hand to save them. Your donation today could make a difference in saving them from certain death. Donate here.

Please remember that every donation, even if it is 5 dollars, is a ray of hope for the families who have lost everything.

🌓 25+ y.o alterhuman experiencing polymorphism since birth 🌠 (pun intended)

🌔 unsure if because of spiritual, psychological, or trauma reasons. 🌟 feels more intrinsic due to experiences prior to our trauma.

🌕 no definitive list of morphs, as they range across time and 'verse. 🌠 we use generalized/vague tags for this reason, see taglist below.

🌖 morphs also range per system member, indicated by an emoji. 🌟 non-specific example (without brackets and slash): (#/🌃)

🌗 currently, we aren't looking for those who knew us in another life. 🌠 due to various reasons, safety included; may change in the future.

🌘 otherwise, we are neurodivergent, disabled, mad, & survivors. 🌟 personal details will be omitted, but trauma may be mentioned.

DETAILS + BYF + DNI + TAGS BELOW:

⭐ Experiencing polymorphism since birth? Unsure of the reason?

your guess is as good as ours. we hope that, by having this blog, we will be able to finally figure out what these shifts indicate after all this time. until then, we don't fret over the details, and just enjoy our alterhuman and nonhuman experiences.

⭐ Switching between plural and singular language?

some of us feel more comfortable referring to ourselves as a collective, while others will use more personal language. this is for comfort reasons, as well as part of our self-acceptance plan.

⭐ Opinions on ___ following you?

as long as you're not on our dni, we (kindly) don't care and want nothing to do with any kind of fight or drama. we are only here for documentation and discovery, as well as pretty pictures and good feels. maybe a friend or two made, if possible and in the future.

⭐ Will you talk more about your plurality?

for safety and comfort reasons, no. apologies for the inconvenience.

"There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?' And someone else said, 'A poor choice of words in 1954'," he says. "And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the '50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we're having now." So if he had to invent a term, what would it be? His answer is instant: applied statistics. "It's genuinely amazing that...these sorts of things can be extracted from a statistical analysis of a large body of text," he says. But, in his view, that doesn't make the tools intelligent. Applied statistics is a far more precise descriptor, "but no one wants to use that term, because it's not as sexy".

hello i love big lizards

I had a lot of fun considering morphology and environmental adaptions but make it fantasy for these.

Insvilvar has rough, rocky looking spikes and lots of fins because he's old as hell and powerful. I like to think the fins aren't really useful for anything, they're more like a lion's mane. The better quality a red dragon's diet is, the more they have, to show they're successful and strong.

Cereza is basically a hatchling by dragon standards, so I made her build lankier and gave her fluff and feathers like a baby dinosaur :) this would be to keep her safe from the elements while her body is still small and not so good at thermoregulating yet.

Zoren was the most fun to conceptualize. He's built more stoutly, with shorter limbs and snout, and lots of fluff to conserve heat in his frozen home. And he's got big ol polar bear paws, to distribute his weight more evenly across ice and keep from breaking through.
