Hiiii. So. Um
There’s apparently someone (or several someone’s) who keeps reporting my art, particularly the Lioden-style-art (like my icon comms and that one Silas doll I made), as I guess AI made? Or copied? Idk??
My thread got paused once while the mod team investigated my art for any ai-generator stuff, and after I got cleared, another ticket was made a while later where the staff requested I send over timelapses/psd files and wips etc (which I gladly did send over) for them to check out my art process, this time without pausing my work though.
The staff have been super sweet about the whole thing and I appreciate they go to such lengths to protect all artists on the site, and that includes me, ofc! Heck, Xylax even took the time to check my stuff even in the midst of all their hectic move across countries.
I have no problem sending proof of my work at all if it helps them do that, at all!
But I’ve now been cleared again, and can at least rest easy knowing the staff know how I make my art more in detail and have that as backup if this happens again.
I just!! Could whoever is reporting me um. Please stop? I understand it must come from a place of wanting to protect artists, I get that! I just have been through it twice now and I’m generally a very anxious person. It’s stressing me out a bit when I just wanna enjoy making art and replicating the style so I can make stuff that matches the game better, for my own enjoyment! There’s plenty of guides and resources available on how to do it, and others do it all the time for making custom decor, so I figured it was fine! And the staff have cleared me twice now!
So yeah just. Wanted to vent a bit QwQ I’ve been chill about it because I’ve done nothing wrong, and so many people are still being supper supportive of my work and it’s been so honoring but! It’s still kind of frustrating, I guess, being accused of something untrue.
Anyway back to my regular programming soon <3 uni exams are kicking my ass but they’ll be over in a couple of weeks! Thinking of opening some GB slots for my comms when I’m free.
