Study of my Character Marshall. Hats off to anyone who can effectively draw machines, it ain’t easy.
March of the Machines?
So, I’m not so much as new as I am someone just trying to make better use of social media platforms. I’ve noticed almost all the followers I have gotten the past few days...have no content which leads me to assume they’re bots. Is there way to not have to deal with this?
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!Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
So, I think I’m gonna do some more of these reworks of old pieces, just to kinda show myself that I have actually made some progress artistically speaking. Overall I’m pretty happy with Ryukyu’s updated design. Top 2022, bottom 2018.
So this was a piece I did for the Secular Humanist group, Assemblage of Areté for their participation in the San Diego Pride Celebrations. I’m pretty proud of this one.
Drew this a while back. Figure since I’m back on here, I’d start uploading some stuff here as well. Enjoy!
Well, seeing things are going sideways guess it’ll pay to not put all of my eggs in one basket. Surprise, not dead.
So, first colored piece in a while especially for Shishi (top). Always fun drawing Ryukyu (bottom)
Just some clothing sketches I did a while back and never got to post. #fantasyclothes https://www.instagram.com/p/BzvVoO9ppU1/?igshid=sr6q496upgem
