Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Youka Nitta lost her entire career because she copied one photo from a magazine in a side illustration for the characters in her manga. Nick Simmons lost his burgeoning career because he copied Bleach for his manga. The Windbreaker webtoon was just cancelled due to copying. Just don't.

I will use 20 reference photos on a single drawing sometimes, just take inspiration from the bits and pieces and actually transform it into your own thing.

In short, NEVER copy or trace an image that you don't have the rights to. If you took the picture yourself, go nuts. If the picture came from a pose photographer that is offering the photo for free, trace away, as long as you credit the photographer. If you've paid for the rights to the photo, 👍

This is the sort of thing I want to show all the "tracing is totally ok!" people. I've never seen these people never go into details on what sort of stuff is OK to copy, leaving young or beginning artists thinking tracing is totally acceptable and is never going to get them in trouble.

Denny's restaurants and other businesses in Japan have pulled their use of illustrations by Perfect Blue and Sonny Boy character designer Hisashi Eguchi after accusations he traced images:

Huh, I use those pretty often and the blue always blends into the glow of the white paper. Maybe I need a different kind of paper, instead. Thanks!

What markers did you use for this sign? I've been looking for a blue that glows brighter than white paper under blacklight forever.

Staaaaup! The only chance of getting is is the Fang Club member pre-sale and my membership expired when I got poor. 😭

Jeezus christ, how come whenever I get a private message, it's only ever gonna be the stupidest scammers on the planet. I've only got a little over 200 followers, half of which are blocked bot, AI, and repost accounts, I'm sure.

Not gonna censor the account, scammers this stupid deserve to be outed

The world's stupidest scammer trying to convince me that someone is impersonating me to scam people. Literally no one knows who I am, if you gave someone pretending to be a complete nobody money, then you deserve this lesson in hard knocks.

More pics of the gacha charm bracelets that I'll have available at #blfc, I was trying to get hand shots and my mom's ancient cat wouldn't accept that we were in her orbit without pets... so hand-shots featuring charm bracelets and kitty!

#pokemon #artistalley

Supposed to be a pic of my new charm bracelets that will be available in the dealer's den at BLFC, but really it's an excuse to pet the old kitty.

Thanks so much! I hope they're popular so I can add more pokemon in the future. I personally looooove charm bracelets, but I've never seen any other artists offer anything like this, so I have no idea if other people would want this as much as I would. 😅

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Whoops, I got distracted... but I still have a bunch of new things that will be available at #BLFC, like these #pokemon gacha charm bracelets!

Each bracelet will come with either #Pikachu or #Evee, then you can play the gacha for additional charms, you might even get a rare shiney!

I just wanted to let you know that you're gonna be alright. Your success is inevitable, and there is nothing you can do to halt its creeping advance.
