twitter could literally add a feature that sprays acid in your eyes every time you post and people would still use it
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Going serious.
Homeland 🇵🇭 was devastated by back-to-back typhoon which destroyed a lot of homes and displaced families.
I am offering $10+ sketches. All profits will be donated to ChildHope Philippines, a local org providing basic needs to street children, the most vulnerable population rn

ARTISTS: there’s a scam going around where someone will commission you, you send the sketch and they will claim it’s AI and ask to be refunded.
• do not refund the person
• POST their @ - do not keep them censored
• ONLY send watermarked low res WIPs. it doesn’t matter if it’s a mutual or not.

Update- received the payout 👍 hope others get their $$!
Fyi- to anyone using itch/io, it looks like payouts are getting stalled right now. For some, its been months without payment. I had horrid timing and didn’t ask for payout until right before all the censorship shit went down, so have not been paid at all for any of the petrichor content yet🙃
