Happy (belated) new year! This was for a holiday card I made to give out to friends at the end of the year! I tried going for something more simple but it ended up kinda detailed anyway

Hello! Would it be ok to use one of your art as my sidebar? ofc i'm going to give the credit. Your art are gorgeous btw. thank you so much ❤️

Yep, that's fine! I don't mind anyone using my art as their icon/sidebar as long as credit is given. Wallpapers and phone bgs are fine too, no need to credit/ask for those!

I haven’t finished the main story yet but collecting all the memories absolutely ruined me so I had to draw something for it

Didn’t realize I never shared this on here! Back in 2020 I tried designing what a South Asian inspired Zelda and Link would look like--it was a really fun project that I still hold dear to me.

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
