Whether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power.

How it feels to be an artist lately, for real.

It was a good week physically, not so great emotionally. I got hit with all the Scraping news... I can't draw. My ocs finally got to visit Tomotachi, at least they are fine... I got to see ocs that normally don't talk to each other becoming friends... Good for development.

We are delighted to announce that applications for our third CAG Mini Grant are live! It's hard to make the comics YOU want to make when the cost of living keeps rising. So this Mini Grant is here to offer a little breathing room: groceries, childcare, whatever you need. forms.gle/J7V7frhTZvH7...

A heads up, I need to take 1 month off from daily oc questions to focus on hosting Feedbackquest, also I ran out of questions and need to restock. Pausing for 1 month and resuming later.

Site updates seem to have gone through. Let me know if there is anything that broke. 😂

Working on sites update, might have down time, just a heads up.

looking at places where they NEED to have security is better than hoping for one on regular social media, game stores, online shops NEED security due to money trading, we will be safer there using them like social media extensions. We just need to redo our marketing funnels.

Some positive thoughts... 1. Art now requires bank level protection from AI scraping, they don't pay us, but it doesn't mean it's not worth that much. 2. It might be a good time to go back to person site, face to face marketing, conventions and physical goods, retro time.

Emotionally impacted again by the hack on Cara and all the information I learned from it. I will recover after I decide what to do following all the new learning. No new art will be posted anywhere except my own sites for the time being. Sorry won't be able to participate in fun activities here.

Jeremy: I sort of believe them, Rose balanced out my bad luck. Rose: I don't generally believe them, sometimes we don't choose the bad things that happen to us, but we can always choose our own actions. #oc

A Demon King so loved, that even the angels can’t front and come to hang out. Marquis is the kindest of the Demon Kings and everyone has noticed. I finished this before bed last night, and now I wanna go get a comm of him again 😩🩷 #art #Marquis #TUoO #illustration
