Hi hi! ^^ If you've read or heard of my fanfic Who Knew about the Shen twins as Merfolk, I hope you'll like to know that I'm making it into a webcomic. You can read it on Webtoon if you want or in advance on my Patreon. If you have no idea what in the world I'm talking about (^^"), I hope you can take a look at one of the links here and see if you like it! I really hope you like it! \o/

Notice

Hi hi everyone! I know I've been absent, but there were some things that were making it very difficult for me to share what I've been doing. I guess waking up and figuring out that 15 years+ of art I've worked on since I was a teenager had been stolen in a single night to "train" AI without my consent created a new trauma, and with every social media gradually putting its own rules for using AI in our images it is making me very insecure about sharing anything.

I'm really sorry for not explaining my absence. It was not at all once and on the same day it happened that I felt scared to post. I realized that I had been gradually giving up on posting anything, and in the end, I just stopped.

This subject was, and still is very inflamed, and I know that there are a lot of people defending AI, just as there are a lot of people fighting for the conscientization of it at the same time, and honestly, I wasn't ready to deal with that conversation. I'm still not ready at all.

I was too fragilized to even talk about all of this, and every time I see something about this topic I get extremely anxious. I am anxious right now to bring this up, but I feel I should at least share what happened to me with those who care about my whereabouts.

What I felt that day was worse than when I lost almost everything I had in a flood once, because back then my family and I just started working on cleaning everything and making new furniture with what we had left. We had people helping us recover, bringing us what they could to help, and eventually, we could get back on our feet.

I'm sorry for the comparison. I know that what we lost back then cost much more and that other people had similar experiences and know how much it hurts to see everything you have, every family picture, clothes, and document floating with sewage water. But that site was the very first one I posted anything online, and the one I posted almost everything I did until the day the site opted for every art uploaded on it to agree with the use of our images to train AI without even a notification.

I felt that I lost everything again, and this time were all things I did myself, my very first drawing, my very first digital painting that looked awful, and every single one I did while I was trying to get better at this until being an artist became my profession. This was not something that I could recover from, because I had everything with me, but someone else had these copies, together with the copies of everyone else's work that were on that platform. I felt robbed, and used. Just as I'm sure many artists who had their entire life's work posted on Deviantart that night and found out about this felt the same way.

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not against AI in general. It can be used for many useful and even essential things that didn't harm anyone to be created and won't harm anyone to be used. Much of it is a necessary advance, and that is not the part I'm against at all. This is something too extensive to put a right or wrong label on and its aspects still need to be understood to define which parts are ethical and which are not. I'm against, however, the unethical part of it. That they used real people to scan their work, their voices, and even their faces without consent to create something that is not out of nothing, are bits and pieces of information of other people's essence, characteristics, and hard work.

I understand the need to grow, and I understand that since AI was something new, there were no laws whatsoever about it to protect us from it.

I understand that there are much worse evils than this to be considered in the world, and that my problems and how I feel about them shouldn't be that hard to endure especially since I know that there could be worse. But I wish things had been different.

I can only hope that this will change with time, that it can be used more consciously, and that unethical methods will no longer be applied. I hope that everything will work out in the end.

Sorry for my long explanation, but thank you for reading. And believe me, I missed you all so much. And I hope to feel safe sharing my art here with you more often again. It's a part of me that I had lost the courage to have until now, and I hope I have the strength to deal with it, because creating art is what I love most in the world, and I really miss being able to share it with you.

A little more of the twins' wardrobe and how they work in my AU Basically, they wear clothes that don't hinder swimming and that allow them to transform and enter the “submerged caves” in their kingdom or go to the surface (in Shen Jiu's case, his clothes are more ostentatious because of his position, but they all basically have practical cuts, can cover well when on dry land, and are made of impermeable fabric).

But it is more common to wear simpler and less covered clothes or none at all on a daily basis as they don't need to change frequently, so I made some examples of how I imagine it. Oh and the middle one is the one Shen Jiu is wearing in the animatic https://youtube.com/watch?v=5vm1Dn-rga0… Hope you like it!! :3 Link for the fic in case you're interested https://archiveofourown.org/works/39044955/chapters/97667925
