there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

I’m not late to send my New Year cards for once! And Poldine gets to be all by herself because unlike Pyrgus she didn’t get a birth announcement card, so it seemed fair. I started out writing “Poldine wishes you a happy new year” but then realised the shrub was more centered in the photo and more important-looking so the rest of the cards featured a happy new year message from Poldine & The Shrub.

[Image description: A digital drawing of Paul Hackett from the film After Hours. The piece is landscape, but the bold dark blue background has a lot of empty space, with Paul confined to the right side. The piece is drawn upwards of his shoulders. He has a exhausted and apathetic expression on his face, with his head tilted to one side slightly. His skin is coloured with exaggerated tones, with dark purple shadows circling his eyes. He is covered in a white plaster dust, which congregates on his disheveled hair and suit jacket. Behind him, there's an askew streetlight, which has a glaring red light at the top. It is the brightest part of the piece, and is drawn with spikes of red protruding from the lighter light yellow in the middle. To the left of this, there's the phrase "stop him!", written out like it is on his wanted poster. The lineart is a very dark navy colour, although it veers redder on Paul. It has stark shadows but also sections of softer, more textured shading.]

Some Stars and Space doodles

Crimson was originally designed by dino__desu on ToyHouse. I purchased them off @snejkha. They're going to be part of Yenny's ship crew ^^

Another set of adopts from the same base as before just color shifted, took inspiration from @xhunterbeatsx base he gave me and how he does gradients so credit where credit is due they don't have names just numbers and they'll be in order, the first three and last pair are claimed but 4 through to 8 are available!

All rainbow mew designs have been snatched up

I think what a lot of people forget when arguing about AI generated images, is that people shouldn't use it not just because of the theft, but because art isn't a right, rather something you earn.

If you decide you wanted a drawing of your OC, or a drawing to put in your ad, you should make it yourself or pay somebody else to make it for you.

"Oh but, I can't draw!"

Pay another artist.

"But it's expensive!"

Then make it yourself.

"But I can't draw!!! I said that already,"

Okay, pay an artist.

"But its too much money!!"

(Actually most commission artists are underpaid, for example if they worked for 14 USD per hour, for 6 hours making you a drawing, that would be 84 USD. Plus, they have to pay for software and materials, so a little over 100 USD for a commision isn't as much as you think it is, and 14 USD an hour is minimum wage in many states, so don't expect to pay that little either, artists work hard for this shit.)

"Well I'll just use an AI generator then"

No. If you are not willing to make art yourself or pay an artist to make it for you, you do not deserve art!

Art is something you do not need to live, yes it makes life a lot better, BUT IT'S NOT A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT!

You don't need a drawing of your OC, you don't need a cool drawing in your ad, YOU WANT IT!

(Didn't we learn the difference between wanting and needing stuff in kindergarten?)

Yes, it will make your ad look more eye-popping or interesting to look at, but it's not necessary! Unless you are willing to put in the minimum amount of effort to pay an artist, or draw it yourself,

YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE ART IN YOUR AD!!! YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE ART OF YOUR OC!!!

Us artists have worked our asses off for so long just for you to take away our jobs and decide to be a lazy fucking bitch about us for work. Art is not food, or water, or air, it is ART.

Do you hear me??

Art is not food.

Art is not water.

Art is not air.

Art is not a basic human right.

Art is not a necessity.

Art is not something you need in order to live.

Art makes life so much more beautiful, but unless you are willing to pick up a pencil and draw, or pay somebody to do that for you, you don't need art.

You can live without art of your OC.

You can live without art in your advertisement.

If you really want art that bad,

Take out your credit card.

Pay for it.

Pick up a pencil.

Make it.
