Y’all, I seriously don’t know what is happening but unfortunately it seems like the date will be pushed back to the 13th instead of 12th like I wanted. :( I’ll try again in the morning more like a few hours since it’s 1am here but we’ll see what happens then. I’m so sorry if let anyone’s hopes up because of this but I promise you this shit will get uploaded here and to YouTube sometime tomorrow, I’ll make sure of it. My computer is just is not liking Premiere right now. I’ll update this as I go so stay tuned! Again, sorry for the delays.
Update for Rejects AU animatic
Hey so uh, having some rendering issues atm but don’t worry y’all it’ll be up shortly! Please bear with me,,,,
hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
Thank you so much to @trenchman93 for dubbing one of my comics from my Rejects AU! I saw this on Twitter and I’m still feeling the adrenaline rush from seeing this. 😭💗💕 It makes me so happy, I can’t believe this is real. Be sure to follow his YouTube channel too! He does fantastic work.
Also, for anyone curious about the webcomic, I’m currently redrawing most of Chapter One up until the first choice, as well as some character redesigns. Let me know what you guys think of it!
Hey guys just a reminder, I have an interactive webcomic on Tumblr!! If you like any of my Gorillaz content but want to see more of my original work, please check it out We The Uncommon. The point of it the story is for audience participation, and thanks to the new polls feature I can finally do that. 💖💕 YIPPEE
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.
