Just a small note to anyone who might consider commissioning/art trading/ETC with me:
I will NEVER ask for extra from anyone who has an OC with a service animal, prosthetic, mobility aid or physical disability of some kind. I 100% welcome and encourage inclusivity on my corner of the internet

#artfight2025 attack 6, for @gentlegrowl.bsky.social!~
Tried a more anime/simpler shading and lighting style for this one. I like it a lot :3

Digitally drawn artwork. On the left is a horse-like creature with canid teeth, snarling with its tongue extended, facing right. On the right is a human, facing left, with brown hair and wearing a red shirt, holding a knife. The piece is cell-shaded, with a pink city-scape background.

Time to post it again.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

If it isn't clear, this includes using ChatGPT, character AI chatbots, any and all forms of generative slop.

You are not welcome in my spaces.

🍊 tsu @tsurudraws.art · May 6

I think folks need to blocking and be MORE blunt about not welcoming AI usage in any creative space.

Not ridiculing. Not dunking. Just "we don't allow that here."

I promise you, if they're STILL knowingly using AI at this point, they don't care or will play victim.

Block and move on.

So... I'm gonna be a bit more blunt today in regards to AI usage in the TTRPG space.

The harder it is made for folks using AI to find acceptance and gain traction, the less of it we will see.

This means blocking them on Social Media, and reporting them on sites where they sell their trash.
