Merry Christmas! Here in Finland we celebrate on the 24th. Yellowhammers are frequent winter visitors in our garden, so I thought I'd draw some for his year.

Are you a WORKING ARTIST whose work and career has (or has not) been impacted by GENERATIVE AI?

I need you 🫵 to fill out this survey!!!!

the link will be at the bottom of this wall of text, but read all of this first!!!! im putting on my professional corporate voice for you!!!!!!!! don't piss on the poor!!!!!!

-

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are conducting a research study on the sentiments and effects of generative AI in the labor market of visual arts. This study consists of an anonymous survey and potential for compensated interview (optional). It is open to participants from any country, but participants must be professional artists (see below for what qualifies).

This link at the bottom of this post is a short screener to ensure that you are a professional artist and prevent spam/brigading, hence the request for a portfolio. It is not the full study, that will be sent to you after verification. The submission request does not have to necessarily be a full portfolio website. They just need any kind of proof that you derive income from your art—resume, social media links, proof that you have sold commissions recently, profiles on employer websites, etc are all viable alternatives. You qualify as a professional artist for this study if you are over 18 and have made any amount of recent income from your art.

Again, you will receive an invite to the full survey AFTER your info is verified (this may take up to 2 business days, they have to sort through them manually). Make sure to leave your email, they can't send you the invite without it!

If you are concerned about data collection (valid), the info in the screener is used only for verification of professional status and sending the invite and will not be kept beyond that. The actual study survey itself is anonymous. I know the researchers (hence why I am posting this on their behalf) and have also already personally participated in the study.

If you have questions, feel free to either leave comments on this post (the research team will monitor it) or reach out to [email protected]

The form will remain open through the end of February, 2026.

My irl friends invited me to play DnD with them at the start of this year and this is a commission for one of them, featuring their three characters!

I'd love to draw more DnD et cetera characters for people! It was also fun to get the opportunity to draw a buff guy to show everyone that I can.

This is the hardest thing I've had to do in a while. We have the rent covered for December and January but the rest is falling on me. I have some time to get the rent for February but the smaller bills for December are coming up fast. I need just $100 to get through this month's bills and I'm ready to do anything.

If I can get just 15 $50 commissions, I can hit my goal; so I'm offering a single character render with a completed backdrop for $50, the lowest price I have ever offered. Furry and human characters welcome, SFW preferred (feel free to ask if you're unsure!) ☕ ko-fi.com/8bitbeetle 📧 [email protected]

Quick FAQ: Why March? My mother enters retirement age next year; her check should cover the rent and bills. Why YOU? My mother lost her job recently and like everyone, is struggling to find another. I cannot work a traditional job for a multitude for reasons. Freelancing is all I have.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, if you need receipts, you can reach out to me at: [email protected] I always want to open and transparent with you, I'm asking a lot and I'm grateful for whatever you can offer. Thank you.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products
