Is there any fan project going on for Vows & Vengeance? Like, animatics and such?

note to self: you do not like social media

this was my final post on my (short-lived) art insta. i just can't with that fucking app. as a high masking autistic person, video/image-based apps like instagram and tiktok just reinforce that whole "Life Is A Constant Performance" thing that already consumes every moment of my waking life. (for me, personally. obvs if you find value in social media, do what u want forever, ily, live ur best life.)

i recognize that many artists (and particularly marginalized creators) often have to use social media to grow their business and increase their chances of earning income. and, as someone with friends and family spread all around the world, it can be the best way to keep in touch with people i care about. but being active, especially as an artist, on any "social" app (besides tumblr... if you can call tumblr a social app) is just not a tradeoff that i can personally sustain.

so,, if i make art i feel is worth sharing, it'll be here from now on. and, y'know, redbubble. because i'm a brokeass bitch. (wanna buy a sticker to support a queer/trans/AuDHD artist? [see all my sticker designs here!])

PSA: Fuck AI and support Artists

An artist I deeply admire just decided to quit sharing art online because of the rapid growth of AI making them feel inferior... Everyone of you abusing AI to pretend to be artists...Fuck you. Go fall down a flight. Please... PLEASE, support your favourite artists, like and share their work, let your friends know about their work, commission them if you can, follow them on their socials just.. let them know their work matters. and more importantly that THEY matter.

i’m gonna be adding this to my rules later but just a heads up that i really don’t tolerate the use of AI—for art, writing, or otherwise. i feel like at this point most should know how harmful it is but just in case here’s just one of many articles explaining it

tbh i think that the "is ai generated content art" argument is roughly the same as "is Duchamp's Fountain art". i think that the argument of if its art is what makes it art, because it is invoking some kind of feeling. starting a conversation. if that makes sense?

that being said, absolutely there is a time and a place for it (ie not replacing the work of paid artists). and it should only be trained on artsts who have consented to it.

i dont want to read fiction made by ai bc if you didn't take the time to write something, why should i take the time to read it? and for non fiction, it'll be riddled with incorrect facts because an algorithm "decided" that this word is the most likely to go next in the sentence based on what it's database says, even if its factually incorrect.

one of my favorite pieces of art is an ai image that was sent to a company that makes paint-by-numbers, and then filled out by a person. the artist, tumblr user rigatonidanza, asks "is this art? at what point does it become art? can it never be art because its ai, or because its paint by numbers? is it art because it elicits a response from the viewer?"

the point of art is to make you think, and to make you feel. does it stop being art if its not made by human hands, the way algorithmically generated images are? is it not art if its something mass produced, made for intentions other than what the artist uses it for, like Fountain? even if looking at it makes you feel something? anything? even if that "something" is a negative emotion?

all that said. if you use generative algorithms as an excuse to not pay real artists, you are a human tar pit. may you always immedeatly stub your toe after it stops hurting from the last time you stubbed it.

i've noticed a small progress when it comes to getting noticed and getting notes on various sites i post on, including tumblr, and just wanted to say it makes me so happy!!

it's so refreshing to see compared how impossible it's been to be seen on twitter with the algorithm changes

"liking art doesnt do anything" it lets me know you liked my art :]

[nightfallsystem-moved]

ppl b like "artists arent owed reblogs / notes" but also

you arent owed art.

imagine tumblr without any art.

Creates an artwork that took ages but I'm really proud of it. Its a subject that a lot of my friends and followers like. Only a few people like it. Most of my friends have seen it and, nothing... I know I did a good job and it's pretty but this makes me feel like my art isn't good enough. It hurts more that my friends and mutals aren't liking it, more than the numbers.
