lovely assistaff #GACHIAKUTA🍩🦋

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.

Vibrantly colorful art of Enjin from Gachiakuta. The color palette has electric greens and pinks, highlighting his smirk in electric green. He’s smiling and holding his hand up, showing off most of his fingers and tattoos.

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.

i wanna love tomorrow, but i love what’s left

#kcd2 #hansry

a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are
touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full.

there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain).

focusing on OCs lately #ocsky

Sketch of a man with long spiked hair playing a lute. He’s singing and wearing medieval inspired clothing.

Sketch of a man standing very stiffly with a frown, holding tightly onto a black smithing hammer. He’s wearing a leather cap and apron with the sleeves of his shirt rolled up.

Dynamic sketch of a knight wearing a great helm and chain coif pulling a sword out of a left handed sheath.

Two knights face each other—each with fluted armors, one is wider and has a large ornate battle axe, and the other knight is taller but narrower with a large ranseur.

Let’s all stand on mama #onepiecespoilers

Colored artwork in the style of an older photograph of Big Mom during her time with the Rocks Pirates. Her young children are all very small and stand on her shoulders trying to look tough, including Katakuri, Daifuku, Oven, Perospero and Compote. She’s holding a large bottle of nonalcoholic beer and smiling at the camera
