My aggression about this topic isn't aimed at you (asking questions is 100% valid!) so I'm really saying this @ the artists who still think this is okay—stealing is still stealing. I literally am moving bc AI has made the air in my area too toxic to stay outside, so I'm a wee passionate about this

There are literally millions of free, real examples online that are done by both paid models and volunteers for virtually every body type imaginable, plus CSP users get a (FREE) customizable 3D model that can do the same thing. So polluting entire cities to get to the same answer is honestly crazy 🤷‍♂️

Bonus pic taken at Mall of America because it wouldn't be a real MN trip without one!!

If you don't want to commission me but still want to donate to help, my Ko-fi is also back online for tips:

I also have an Etsy sale scheduled to start next week to help, so be on the lookout for a post on that soon! 🙇‍♂️

(reposted to add photo credit, sorry about that hun!! 🙇‍♂️)

Since it's Pippi's birthday, I'm also gonna take today to showcase some of my favorite plush pics from this past year. Hopefully next year I get to take even more!
