A joke I wanted to do during my Don't Starve era but got to make now. I keep bothering cats even though I try to be as gentle as possible.

"I hope someday being anti-AI is seen as ableist," another mused.

You know what's commonly considered to be necessary to be able to paint or draw?

Arms.

But that hasn't stopped people who may have literally never had any from creating Mouth and Feet Painting Artist associations and draw better than I ever will.

This is the kind of smugness one can only get from never having sullied your art with arms

But if you have arms, eyes are optional.

Eşref Armağan is a Turkish artist born without eyes.
Born in 1953 without sight to an impoverished family, he taught himself to write and paint.

Poverty? Never having had eyes? Fuck you, it's painting time.

But wait, there's more:

And I don’t think it’s right to be hateful to people using this new tech, any more than it would be right to hate a photographer just because he didn’t spend days painstakingly drawing his image."

First of all, photography is not based on theft.

The goal of painting isn't to make the most realistic painting possible.

Photography also requires skill to create art.

AI artists hate art, but they also hate effort.

AI artists think of an idea, a prompt, and give it to the AI.

I think of an idea and give to an analogue AI - an artist.

You used Midjourney to creat art of Sonichu saluting the American flag?

I used Karol Blaky to illustrate my setting book for Xenos Rampant.

My avatar? It's my original work using DiceyJune charity promo.

And you best believe I made the prompts for my tshirt designs before feeding them to AI [artistic intelligences].

Helped a friend design a new Oc they're gonna be writing! I had fun with this <3
More of her to come!

snagged a new character recently and i've been toying with her design to fit my style more! made this quick icon of her as a proof-of-concept for one of my ideas :3
