Hello, i wanted to ask if you can post the original yorkie pic? Just wondering what this lps looks like in life and why is it like that. Thank you for speedpaint btw it's gorgeous!! Your color studies inspire me to learn how this shit works haha

OF COURSE! She was one of those LPS with the glass eyes! I must have knocked her eye out as a kid somehow... Fun fact: her name was Bulgey Eyes before she lost an eye, after which her name was Bulgey Eye (singular).

I'm glad my studies can help to inspire you!!! Definitely recommend Lighting Mentor on YouTube if you want to know more about how color works. He did color keys for the Incredibles, Ratatouille, and such!

did u go protest today

good evening officer

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
