Some OC art of Miv from my Fanfic "Picture Perfect" on Wattpad ^^

My 3rd drawing! 😁 Meet Tryon, my OC from Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is a 15 year old Airbender, born in the Northern Air Temple. He is an original character that is part of a fanfic of mine that narrates the events of the series, but including him as a character and as part of Team Avatar. Here is the comparison with the first drawing I made of him back in 2013 or so. I think the improvement is considerable and I like the current version as it looks more like the version I had in my head back then 😅 I still have things to improve and someday I will dare to draw him full body and even make a concept art 🙏🏻 I hope you like it! 😉👍🏻 Made with Clip Studio Paint

AI Art and Goth

I'm going to be yelling into the void here, I know, but I want to get this out there because it's frustrating and I just need to yell about it okay lol. It's my blog, I'll complain if I want to.

So, recently there's been some discussion online about bands/record labels in the goth scene potentially using AI generated "art" for their album/single covers. Why does this matter, to me? It matters because as an artist myself, I know the time that goes into creating a piece. The hours, months, and years I've spent laboring away at something that means so much to me. A piece of my soul is in every little drawing or painting I make with intention. My art is my mark in this huge world and evidence that I existed. It's an extension of my feelings and thoughts and loves. That's what art means to me.

On the other side, you have ai generators. On top of frankensteining images from the internet at large, they can also steal pictures or artworks and overlay filters on top of them to make them look like the generator made them. (So I've learned today, which makes me very upset and I also learned what "scraping" means.)

So with that said, I'm sure anyone would understand why record labels maybe using ai instead of hiring artists to create an original piece OR using the huge selection of public domain works that are available is frustrating and an ethics issue. Right? Especially those people that are a part of a subculture that is based on an art form - music. Right?? Apparently that's not the case because there was waaay too many people for comfort arguing that it doesn't matter. "Who cares if they're using ai art?" ... "It doesn't look like ai art to me, stop this holy crusade." ... "This is just rage bait." ... "What about sampling used in music? It's the same thing." To that last one especially, NO IT IS NOT, THANK YOU LOL. Artists interacting with another artist's work and transforming it is not the same as a computer stealing images and spitting out a monstrosity. You might tune your inputs to get a certain outcome, but that computer is doing all the work, all the composing, it's placing everything in that image. Why don't people understand what art means?

Whether or not these suspicious cover arts are in fact ai is up for debate, I'm not arguing that. (Though after personally reaching out to one record label about it and having received the most vague answer possible where they didn't even address my questions fully, I'm even more convinced that they're probably using ai.) What I'm arguing here is that it shouldn't be acceptable, from an ethical and moral standpoint. I don't want souless ai generated pictures to become the norm in the subculture. I want artists to support each other. I want the goth community to support it's artists and musicians. The use of ai art cheapens art in the worst way and harms artists and I cannot vibe with anyone who thinks otherwise.

If you read all this, thanks for taking the time.

It was cool the way Sonic Team put it.

If you don't know: The Sonic The Hedgehog account posted this image earlier today with the following description: "Asked AI to generate an image of Sage taking over the world and this is what we got". They didn't use real AI!

It was a great way to criticize the use of Artificial Intelligence, showing how wrong it is for art, while making a joke about that image of the "evolutionary scale" (morph-- sorry, I forgot), making the pun with the name Sage which is also the name given to a plant (Cosmo reference too?), While the other point would be the AI generating the image of another AI.

This is a great and humorous way to show your side against the use of AI, that's great! I say this as an artist too.

Thumbs Down To AI "Art"

AI "Art" is not art at all.

AI "Art" is art theft.

AI "Art" can also replace hard working artists, and take food off their tables.

At this point, it doesn't matter if someone uses AI "Art" and says it's AI "art" and not something they made because as the technology improves, this "art" is gonna be perfect and most people would like to look at something perfect, instead of something that has mistakes. But human mistakes are also what makes it human, and in some eyes. More beautiful than any AI "art" But just as long as ANYONE uses these AI image generators (no matter the reason), the more the inventors are gonna be encouraged to make more and improve the technology, the more the art of ever single artist, in every medium, is in danger. Either by being stolen, or being replaced all together.

I do know this is a counter argument. People who say AI can do very good things. And I agree. My problem is not with AI in general, my problem is with AI "art" and AI image generators, AI text or story generators. Anything that uses something that is made by AI to make something creative.

What to Do Instead of Using AI Art (And Why It Might Save Your Creativity)

Let’s be real—AI-generated art and writing are everywhere now. Open your social media feed, browse a blog, or check out digital art platforms and you’ll likely run into some shiny, surreal creation spun up by a machine. And hey, it’s cool at first glance. But behind that polished surface lies something a bit messier: a creativity crisis. So if you’re someone who’s feeling the pull of AI tools but still wants to preserve that good ol’ human spark, you’re not alone. In fact, this might be the perfect time to step back and rethink things. Let’s dive into why AI art can be problematic—and more importantly, what you can do instead that’s completely free and feeds your creative soul.
