100 characters meme #2: Kiara

Second entry with a fandom I was never active in and this is my own interpretation of the character

Between the lion king ladies she's the one I connect the most with

100 characters meme #1: Osprey

Lack of motivation made me join this "challenge"

and it's not just WoF characters this time!

(posting won't be consistent, I can't work on these every day)

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

Would you ever consider free oc ref doodles??? Asking for my wof ocs and my oc sideblog (@moondrift-the-icenight) bc I'm asking around :)

If not, do you know current active blogs that do ocs in general for free or for wings of fire? I am collecting them!

Ty!

🥰

Sorry but I don't do free requests!

Also I'm not in the condition to take commissions rn

Some positivity in these turbulent AI times

*This does not minimize the crisis at hand, but is aimed at easing any anxieties.

With every social media selling our data to AI companies now, there is very little way to avoid being scraped. The sad thing is many of us still NEED social media to advertise ourselves and get seen by clients. I can't help but feeling that we as artists are not at risk of losing our livelihoods, here is why:

Just because your data is available does not mean that AI companies will/want to use it. Your work may never end up being scraped at all.

The possibility of someone who uses AI art prompts can replace you (if your work is scraped) is very unlikely. Art Directors and clients HAVE to work with people, the person using AI art cannot back up what a machine made. Their final product for a client will never be substantial since AI prompts cannot be consistent with use and edits requested will be impossible.

AI creators will NEVER be able to make a move unless us artists make a move first. They will always be behind in the industry.

AI creators lack the fundamental skills of art and therefore cannot detect when something looks off in a composition. Many professional artists like me get hired repeatedly for a reason! WE as artists know what we're doing.

The art community is close-knit and can fund itself. Look at furry commissions, Patreon, art conventions, Hollywood. Real art will always be able to make money and find an audience because it's how we communicate as a species.

AI creators lack the passion and ambition to make a career out of AI prompts. Not that they couldn't start drawing at any time, but these tend to be the people who don't enjoy creating art to begin with.

There is no story or personal experience that can be shared about AI prompts so paying customers will lose interest quickly.

Art is needed to help advance society along, history says so. To do that, companies will need to hire artists (music, architecture, photography, design, etc). The best way for us artists to keep fighting for our voice to be heard right now is staying visible. Do not hide or give in! That is what they want. Continue posting online and/or in person and sharing your art with the world. It takes a community and we need you!

tlk2 frame redraw

A project I had for a while, finally found a scrap of time to actually make it

remember to switch this on

^^^

I didn't have the option through mobile but if you go through your desktop settings, under visibility there is a toggle to switch so your work is not used in training AI, it's off by default (go figure lol)

honestly I don't even know

Trying out this platform beacause I want a place to post art that isn't instagram or DA.

I am mainly a dragon artist who draws Wings of Fire and OC art but I went on tumblr mainly to keep in touch with the kirby community

The moment I feel like this place isn't safe I'm out of here
