My favourit dragon of All Time is this ridiculous palm tree

[artofthatcommonbird]

Another scrybaby! Dont be fooled by the cuteness, there are some mischievous thoughts going on behind those eyes...

[artofthatcommonbird]

I scried this obelisk hatchling and got inspired. She is posing at a photoshoot, so well behaved! Would any of you be interested in baby pictures of your dragons? Thinking of starting another artshop....

This raging imperial was ordered by Falcolmreynold as a gift. They worked very closely and patiently with me and the final result turned out awesome!

This guilded beast is another Lyka commission. Thank you Lyka for working with me~

[artofthatcommonbird]

OC commission for Lyka! It was a pleasure to work on such an ethereal beast~

[artofthatcommonbird]

The generous DanceMacarbre commissioned a piece of their badass Sinister. Thank you for the order!

Congratulations on landing your dream job, your art is so beautiful, I'm happy to see all that hard work pay off. Did you have an art portfolio site?

Thank you <:3c A somewhat curated dropbox folder is all I use portfoliovise. Most of the dragon pieces you can find here or on my fA were included.

Life update????

Tumblr Staff tagging my art has been a nice bow on top of my start to this year. I have landed my dream job, thanks to you Flight Rising community* and everyone who has ordered from me. You allowed me to stay afloat financially and little did I know this work would allow me to build a portfolio that launched me into my dream career. Unfortunately this will most likely be the end of my commission work, for now. There is a little bit of a backlog incoming but in the future I’ll do my best to post personal work here. I haven't made art for myself in a long time and I’ve missed it.

All of my gratitued to you~

Peace!

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.

This party animal was ordered by returning Zerkjo! The scales might have been a nightmare but man, it was worth it~

[artofthatcommonbird]

A commission for the awesome scarecrane~ They have some really well themed dragons worth cheking out!
