I took a break from d&d commissions to draw my lawful good boy.

Side note. Your work has more than likely already been stolen.
If any of the sites you are on mentioned it in a policy change, it was already too late.
My mentality is to take the same images and add in some spoiled sausage into the mix.
It could be a constant race until government provides legislation that protects people, things might change. Who knows. But this is the best we got for the moment.
Do or don't post.
Noodle don't noodle.
Do what works for you.
"It ruins the image quality."
Enjoy the bad image quality.
You are telling everyone everywhere that the person behind the artwork, the stories, and the years of dedicated training is worth nothing.
But you still want it?
You're telling us that to get change we have to fight

Tail? Yes!
Wings? Yes
Dragon breast? Yes
Me - "Oh hell yes I will draw all of that!"
Art and creativity has been a part of humanity and the sharing of stories for thousands of years. It brings communities together. It defines cultures. It's not going to just stop.
Here is an example of what Glaze looks like on your art. This is a more complicated image compared to the chibi above.
This is 1200 x 776 px 72PPI
The file was 12in x 18in 300PPI Res
Processed at default settings in V2.0
The logo tag was applied before glazing and still legible
Small reminder to scrutinize comments.
There are a ton of bots that will target posts like this. They do not want you to use Glaze or Nightshade rn.
There are also people who have believe there is no point anymore.
DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Protect and love your work how you want.
@StripedAlpaca
There is a Web Glaze version.
You will have to request access.
I also believe their art app, Cara will allow glazing to images uploaded there. Which you can download. I recommend reading through The University of Chicago's information for details.
๐นARTIST SCAM PSA๐น
If you know an artist, want to be an artist, or you are an artist. This is for you.
This is a newish scam (that I know of) that is going around asking for illustrations for: Workshop โPandemic: Precaution and Preventionโ
Can we get a disney world.... but for D&D fans? So like a year round ren faire staffed with full-time NPCโs? And itโs a functioning nearly self sustainable village? Even have edu areas and demos to observe basic trade skills?
I would have so much fun working there!

#renfair
So... a/i/ people devalue artists and their years of training by calling them gate keepers and elitists. And now we have the very same people trying to impersonate artists without putting any hard work into learning, or pushing past any struggles, or finding identity?
What?
This is both infuriating and hilariously pathetic that this guy needs to create an AI image of him โdrawingโ the AI art. So many levels of clownery, I can bare contain it. ๐คก
@AbeehaTariqArt
It's time to go through everything and Glaze it. My plan is to slowly delete and repost in order. Maybe clear out older stuff.
Most of whats already posted is probably already in their system but i want it to eat away at their database muscle like venom from now on.

You can find more info here. It is a program (Along with Nightshade) that has been created to protect artists from generative image scraping databases. They have been working on it for a bit.
It's an extra step of protection. But extra step of work too
Air Elemental Dragon was released earlier this week to supporters.

Transitioning from my sketchy work to more painterly sometimes means I need to sit down and figure out what my lines accomplished in the first place.

@DESOLATIONSPLAN
From what I understand adding noise will not provide the same level of protection the Glaze software does. And it is still separate from Nightshade so there would be no poisoning the system.
Our campaign came to a close.

It was a good night on the range....
Ohhhhmagoodness...what did I come back to!?!? Well, here's some of my art for the people that look through the comments.
Louder for the people in back!
Finding my work on the internet, DOES NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION to sell, exchange, distribute my art in any monetized form, physical or digital, print or as an NFT.

@velsman
Nightshade poisons ai models.
They have already stolen so much from everyone, my work included. So I lose nothing by re-uploading those same images with the intent to cause as much pain to the PISS system.
Until laws are in place, tech will change.
But I will not stop creating
โจArtist Commission Timeline!โจ
โจA threadโจ
1 like = 1 art
This will be a chronological order of commissions from when I first started. Dates added to each.
I'd love to see what you were working on during these dates in the replies.

Still here.
I've been having a rough few weeks of art apathy and burnout. I'm slowly getting through work I've promised. But i tried taking a break and drawing for myself but even that doesn't feel fun right now.
I managed to sketch a dragon today.
โSnarlโ mask just arrived in the mail!
Iโm so excited to paint this beauty! And so happy I was able to add such an amazing piece of art to my shelves (and face).

"Sweet"
Based on the ribbon candy that I would eat as a kid. There were always extra hidden somewhere, spontaneously remembered when there was no sugar in the house.
So instead of doing work that is going to get me paid. I am making varied business card designs for my dad trying to get him away from this weird cult/pyramid scheme nonsense.
I may be poor. But I don't think you understand how far I will go to help people I love.
a/i/ art is a person wanting the perceived success*, acknowledgement, prestige, and admiration of a black belt and they haven't picked up the white belt.
*Only from the artwork you see on social media and the relationship of needing numbers = success
