SHADOWVEMBER 1 - STRANGER

I call this creature a Strikerbeast. Predator-coded dragon like animal, which could be either fuzzy, scaly or both. Lanky, can run on all fours, long thin tail, often with a thick bushy tuft near the end. Warm-blooded. Not too smart, but not stupid either.

devil's bargain; they will love you as a daughter, but it will be love.

Just discovered while researching Blue Jays for a commission that due to climate change, the Blue Jays' range has been expanding... which has led to instances of hybridization with Steller's Jays as their ranges overlap??

Look at you!! You are so goddamn pretty and cute!?

the darling Glaze “anti-ai” watermarking system is a grift that stole code/violated GPL license (that the creator admits to). It uses the same exact technology as Stable Diffusion. It’s not going to protect you from LORAs (smaller models that imitate a certain style, character, or concept)

An invisible watermark is never going to work. “De-glazing” training images is as easy as running it through a denoising upscaler. If someone really wanted to make a LORA of your art, Glaze and Nightshade are not going to stop them.

If you really want to protect your art from being used as positive training data, use a proper, obnoxious watermark, with your username/website, with “do not use” plastered everywhere. Then, at the very least, it’ll be used as a negative training image instead (telling the model “don’t imitate this”).

There is never a guarantee your art hasn’t been scraped and used to train a model. Training sets aren’t commonly public. Once you share your art online, you don’t know every person who has seen it, saved it, or drawn inspiration from it. Similarly, you can’t name every influence and inspiration that has affected your art.

I suggest that anti-AI art people get used to the fact that sharing art means letting go of the fear of being copied. Nothing is truly original. Artists have always copied each other, and now programmers copy artists.

Capitalists, meanwhile, are excited that they can pay less for “less labor”. Automation and technology is an excuse to undermine and cheapen human labor—if you work in the entertainment industry, it’s adapt AI, quicken your workflow, or lose your job because you’re less productive. This is not a new phenomenon.

You should be mad at management. You should unionize and demand that your labor is compensated fairly.

I painted my cat. His name is Kuri.

Trad art creature while over at a friends for New Years ;w;/

Concepted this character, named the species a 'Zurg' and ended up 3d modeling it for vrchat
