#support voice actors

Hey, here's a link to a petition for the SAG-AFTRA Video Game Strike.

Please sign and support VAs in video games.

actually stunned at the audacity of SAG-AFTRA. after all that boycotting, all that protesting and striking so your writers and actors wouldn’t be replaced by ai, you’ve decided that voice actors are allowed to be replaced by ai?

just proof that voice acting is not a respected profession, even in their own community.

Fanart of CyYu and Wasabee!

Hi guys how you all doing?

Lately I’ve been watching a streamer VTuber name CyYu (Alejandro Saab), who is a voice actor, gamer and funny guy. Been a fan of his for a while now and today I decided to draw a fanart of CyYu with his little bee Wasabee in Earthbound (Mother 2)style.

Hope this artwork is decent enough for a fanart.

Also want to shout out to support the video game voice actors who are on strike because of AI for they bring life to all of the fictional characters we love! Voice acting from people is art and soul, nothing AI has.

Have a great day guys, bye! 👋

Stop Faking It

AI art is theft and as an author, I’ll never use it for anything. Not to “visualize a character concept” or “give a cover artist an idea of what I want” or even “just for fun” and here’s why:

It supports the theft of the intellectual property of other artists. Full stop. Every time you use it “just for fun” you are complacent with that theft. The artists haven’t given their permission for their art to be used, and as artists—no matter the medium—we should all stand together. If we don’t, we are looking at a world where every stolen bit of creativity is mashed together until the artists/writers/musicians are gone and all that is left is a monotone puree of what looks, sounds, and reads the same.

I thought it was cool in the beginning too until I found out how the AI learns. It’s by nature scrapping years of hard work from artists, voice actors, writers, and musicians, then lining the pockets of tech bros and others unwilling to put the time in to learn a medium and put their whole heart into it. In the end, the soul that makes art is lost in the grind of money and machinery. As an artist, I personally made the conscious choice to stand against that, and I hope you will too.

Keep making great art that comes from your personal creativity and take pride in the time it takes to perfect your craft.

The way DS9 2x25 predicted the dangers of AI voice imitation/stealing. This episode is from 1994. THEY WARNED US

Just because I'm pro capitalism doesn't mean that I want art to lose its meaning or anyone on this site out of a job.

You know, when this whole AI art, deepfakes and other shit began, I was scared that the responsibility of convincing people that it can and will be used unethically would fall on the shoulders of small artists who would not be taken seriously. I expected change in the art world to be a slow, creeping transition into inevitable demise.

What I did not expect was hollywood studio execs doing that job for us by being so cartoonishly evil, impatient and releasing statements like "We're gonna starve you until you agree to work with us lol" and "We're gonna take your likeness and use it forever. You will be paid with jack and shit."

I also did not expect AI bros doing the same job for us by harassing a voice actor off of twitter.
