The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

My life as an artist would be easier if some clients didn't get so creepy and intrusive🙃 Beware on Feathered_Predator / Alastor , since he lurks around my community and have been trying to take advantage of artists in vulnerable situation.

All my genAI use is strictly involuntary and against my will. If I ever change my tune on this assume I’ve been replaced by genAI myself and it has murdered me.

Not only do I not use ChatGPT, but I still don’t know how to get to it, I don’t want to know, and I have no interest in even learning. I consider this to be one of my better qualities even though it sounds extremely “I don’t even OWN a TV”

A dark day for human rights.

An old classic :)

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

Whatever they are paying the photo editor, it’s not enough.

It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.

i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.

Hey remember that time I put out a huge art pack for sale 👀 I almost forgot 😂

Curio@curiodraco.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Want to know what kind of stuff I've been drawing for the last decade+ while I've been so quiet online in that time? I have a giant art pack available with pretty much everything I've been up to. Theres a SFW version too, which still has everything, but with 100% less lewds. curiodraco.bigcartel.com

I of course have had no time to keep up with anything at home during these long work weeks, so I'll have to get the place back in order before I can focus on much else.. But gotdamn I want to get back into my art already Dx

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

I'm finally on my last 6-day work week, which will have been going on for a full 2 months by the end of it. I've had zero mental bandwidth for much of anything at all during this stretch and I'm 1000% exhausted. But today I managed to do something a little silly at least. I miss drawing 🥲

👇 In reference to that SDCC Avatar Aang slide everyone is talking about. It was a page from an artbook, and the reference to Chat GPT was likely injected by the person who put the book together. Actual artists like Kat who worked on the film have no idea why it says that.

Kat Tsai@chuwenjie.bsky.social · 2w ago

I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

Brielle 💖@briellebear.bsky.social · 3w ago

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

The creator of Roger Rabbit (who is 85 years old by the way) is a good sort Crossposted with @openvibe.social

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

I have a few of my Jumping Spider desk buddies available - in a Paint Your Own style! These guys are hand cast in solid resin from the mold of the original sculpt. Theyre super detailed but still cute and stylized! (C)

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.
