0 issues in 12 years:

- Make sure your Paypal is a business account
- USE INVOICES
- call it "digital commission"
- include product use, turnaround time, and refund policies in ToS field
- uncheck "ship items to address"
- DON'T write NSFW/adult

Don't get owned for negligence & rulebreaking.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

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.

[OC] ❄️🌊

Digital illustrations by Arukanoda. The left image features a white furred fictional species (arvani) looking towards the dawn with a wintery sky. The right image depicts an indigo dragon in the rain with a projection of light emerging from the top of her muzzle. Drawn on 2024, left image is a commission that was done for Witchiness. Lucian (left) is Lavi's (right) partner in this particular story, so I often draw them in opposite tones of each other. In this case, the calm of a new day, and the heart of a rainstorm.

If you are one of the rare people who own an imperial scroll but who is not playing FR anymore: I can offer art and/or designs by itself if it interests you at all!

I'd also offer a reward to anyone who'd help me secure a scroll! (Can be art or FR stuff if prefered!) (3/3)

Thalbachin @thalbachin.bsky.social · 6d

- a first generation imperial with beautiful colors (just scattered him to these, if I don't find a scroll I will probably keep scattering though)
- a low 4-digit purebred 2nd generation imperial
- 500.000 gems
- art and/or character designs

(2/3)

So, I have this one dragon I would love to put an imperial scroll on that would basically complete all my first generation dreams.
Therefore, I'm offering the following to anyone who would be willing to trade me one of theirs: (1/3)

Light filters from the surface in the top left of the image, illuminating the spaces between the dragon's fins. Bubbles are scattered around the image.

It’s officially spooky season!

For now, I’ve only got some autumn-inspired art to share with you and some apple pie if you live close enough to reach my home before I managed to eat it on my own.

Digital illustration by Aruaknoda. It features a black werewolf character emerging from a pool of bright orange and yellow lava. The werewolf has burning red eyes and glowing claws that taper off into fire-colored veins along the arms. Lava continuously drops from different areas of the werewolf. Commission for Vin.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
