Drawing of Minea looking at Jupiter somewhat nervous and says "I know but I just can't keep hiding, I need to face my fear..." and Jupiter looks at Minea worried. They both are standing in their home

Drawing of Minea hiding behind a rock in the forest at night, looking terrified as they are hiding from Knockout who is in front of the rock as he is looking for them. Minea says "Why did I think this would be a good idea?!" in their mind and the text above Minea says "A few hours later"

Here's your reminder to not mention these on invoices and/or your TOS on PayPal

- Do not specify nsfw. Just call it what it is: illustration
- Do not mention you don't offer refunds. This is against TOS
- Do not mention upcharging to avoid fees. This is on YOU, not the buyer.

Wooww
Hi, for those who don't know, it doesn't matter one single iota if your project is "free". You do not have the rights to use art you find and distribute it. That's literally what licensing is for.
Your circumstance and goal has nothing to do with whether you are allowed to use anyone's art.

NO. IT. IS. NOT.
#art #ttrpg

Screencap from reddit.

"sorry I caught you off guard with the post. In the dnd homebrew space it isn't standard practice to gen in contact with artists for incorporation their work, provided that they are adequately credited and that the homebrew work is available for free, both of which are the case here."

Diamond soul 💎 a symmetrical portrait from last year. #art #oc #ocsky

Symmetrical portrait of a satyr with white skin, goat ears, a crystal horn on the forehead, blue eyes with white pupils and long, white, wavy hair decorated with blue flowers. They are wearing a choker with a silver bell, a semi-transparent dress, and shiny star-shaped earrings. The background is dark, full of stars.

Y’all there’s SO MANY struggling artists right now. Please please help if you are in the position to do so. Do some early holiday shopping. Treat yourself to something special. Donate just to keep seeing people create. And don’t forget sharing always helps so much. We are just trying to survive.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

#art #repostober

A digital artwork of Ipomoea inspired by Alphonse Mucha's "The dance." Ipomoea's horns are lapped in flames, while a fire wraps their left arm and their right harm in shining bright. They are holding onto their dresses, which edges scatter into starlight. Her hair is also spread, sparkling. The frame is a thin crescent moon around Ipomoea, with stars etched into it.

Twice in 24 hours I've blocked journalists with 10k+ follower counts for uncritically reposting AI-generated video. Different videos. Look, I understand we are facing an unprecedented threat of realistic AI fabrications. That only makes it more pressing to verify sources, especially as a JOURNALIST.
