Gimme subjects to draw!

I am a bit in a weird spot lately, where I really wanna doodle and draw, but just a little more carelessly than answering asks or going for bigger projects on the side. I want to take a pencil in my hand and put it down to paper, but I don't feel so free when I do.

I wanna do poses and some experimentation, traditionally, digitally and such.

My main focus is to give my own characters some love even if they are under utilised or old or forgotten.

Would be lovely if some of you can go snoop in my Toyhou.se and dig through some profiles that you think may need a tiny morsel of attention or you just really like them and want to see more of them. My next doodle subject. I feel like some of my own characters I just neglect and shove aside unfairly.

>>> My Minecraft Skrimblos!

(of course you can wander out of the MC folder and pick other characters apart just as much if you're into that kinda thing lmao)

Of course, do not fret to suggest your own characters I may or may not attempt to doodle and play around with! If I may use them for experimentation, drop a ref of your character as well! Primarily Minecraft characters are my jam!

I need to get into rhythm, loosen up, shake and shape into drawing form. Don't tarry, don't give up, me.

I need nothing in return if I target one of yours, I am not asking for a trade, but merely victims subjects to try and scribble my way. lmao

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!

#Certainly just to look at the bright side #AI art will die #they don't have the passion to keep it aflame #only greed #AI is a huuuuge problem still #just nice to think what we have that they don't and never will

Man, I know the poll has been over for a while and I never reacted, but hella- I didn't expect for 10+ peeps to be so adamant on seeing doodles. Pfpfpf.

A'ight-

Mhh- regarding my latest random post (this) What do you peeps think of it? I think I know the answer but feel free to comment in detail below. Pffff. I adore reading peoples ramblings more than rambling myself.
