zodyl #gachiakuta #gachiart

Portrait of Zodyl from Gachiakuta staring straight ahead, as the viewer looks at him from slightly above. The image has vibrant, contrasting colors—he’s highlighted with greens and blues, and the background is clouds in blue against a pink background. There’s a bright cyan chain above his head.

I saw a tweet calling him “wide unc” and now it’s how my brain refers to him

I make character playlists a lot of the time so I usually have a pretty catered list. I can share one of them if you’d like!

But a good standby is the Nier soundtrack for me, it’s atmospheric and beautiful without sounding repetitive

Colored artwork of Zanka from Gachiakuta holding his stick, the Lovely Assistaff. He’s posing in a contorted manner as he holds the staff in the air with a somewhat deranged looking smile. His eye is turning blue as the staff is being surrounded by white and pale blue effects.

Added alt text with full quote.

“When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

Hirohiko Araki addresses Al art in his latest book:
"Recently, I came across a drawing that perfectly mimicked my art style. I thought 'I don't remember drawing this' only to find out it was Al, I was shocked, this is truly evil and a tool for scammers"

In this post there is a photo of Hirohiko Araki, creator of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure next to Giorno from the series.

By Hirohiko Araki. It’s titled “Today’s World of Con Artists” and it reads: Speaking about 'societal evils, I think that as Al continues to spread throughout society, we're going to see an increasingly shady world filled with scammers exploiting it. Recently, I came across a drawing and thought, "This is something I drew, right?" I was shocked to find out it was actually created by Al. When I draw manga, I add subtle, personal elements that make the work uniquely mine. But this Al-generated piece even mimicked details like the way I draw eyelashes, so precisely that it was almost impossible to tell it apart from my work. If it were based on recent drawings, I'd know right away, "No, I didn't draw this." On the other hand, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it were done with my art from about ten years ago, when my memory of it would be a little hazy. The more Al advances, the more this kind of thing will happen.
Art reflects the times, and manga is one example of that. Seeing this world of con artists appear in manga could very well mean that we're headed for a future world dominated by fraudsters. This type of 'evil' in today's age will undoubtedly end up impacting manga down the line.
Copyright infringement by Al is also a 'villain' that we manga artists must face. The extreme scenario is that Al-generated fakes might start being accepted as the "real thing," and even if we try to protect our work, these counterfeits are becoming so accurate and sophisticated that it's no longer a fight an individual can win. Having some kind of laws would probably be the only way to regulate this. However, because we're dealing with a world of con artists, there's also a very real possibility that laws favoring them will appear before we know it. Personally, I entrust my copyright management to Shueisha, but some manga artists are lax in managing their copyrights, leading to others using their artwork without permission or even leaking original drawings.

this is still funny as fuck actually

Panel 1
I am looking at a drawing of a character with someone behind me
me: Wow! These characters are so cool omg why isn't there more stuff about these guys?

Panel 2
the person behind me response: Those are your characters. You're the one that has to draw them.

Panel 3
a moment of silence as I process that statement.

Panel 4
I am on the ground crying and pissing surrounded by crude drawings of my own character.

under one umbrella #gachiakuta

Colorful artwork of Enjin from Gachiakuta with his umbrella opened on his shoulder. He’s standing away from the viewer looking into the distance, where a desert sunset is shimmering with three bright blue starbursts. He has a slight smile on his face.

smoking inside 🐡 #onepieceoc

Artwork of Maren sitting in a Totto Land home made of crackers and candies, smoking a cigarette, making an interesting juxtaposition between his punk clothing and the cutesy pink background. The angle is at a low angle beneath his foot which rests directly in front of the camera, giving an interesting perspective looking up at Maren as he smokes.

morning #onepieceoc 🐡

Limited color artwork of Maren leaning down towards the camera with a smirk. He has a cigarette sticking out of his mouth with smoking coming off of it, as smoke circles out of the fishman gills he has on his exposed shoulder.
