honestly, art is fundamentally incompatible with capital anyway right? like the fact that art exists under capitalism is a bug in the system, and as it progresses it will naturally seek to erode the concept entirely

not really

Your elf is quite tall. I think many humans are smaller than them. So what do we think of humans who are smaller? Do humans look like children?

I'm not sure what age range an elf would be in compared to a human, but Asa is cute. Maybe he's in his teens if he were a human?

Those that have had contact with humans before are mostly unfazed by it; but for those that are seeing an actual human for the first time - flesh and blood, not a diagram from a book - are surprised and curious. get ready to become the star of a human petting zoo (population: you).

Asa is around his early twenties in human age, but by elf standards he's considered quite young, only freshly of adult age. If we were to convert the rest of the crew, Killian would be somewhere in late twenties ~ early thirties, and Mishka around mid to late thirties. Yuri is at least of adult age but no one knows how far along.

I know this can be a kinda sensitive topic for some folks online so I’m so sorry in advance if it is for you

but have we ever seen your face before? If not will you ever do a face reveal of sorts?

Sorry but I want you guys to like me for my art and my writing skills, not my ravishing beauty.

What I don't get is that other your support of AI image generation, you're SO smart and well read and concerned with ethics. I genuinely looked up to you! So, what, ethics for everyone except for artists, or what? Is animation (my industry, so maybe I care more than the average person) too juvenile and simplistic a medium for you to care about its extinction at the hands of CEOs endorsing AI? This might sound juvenile too, but I'm kinda devastated, because I genuinely thought you were cool. You're either with artists or against us imho, on an issue as large as this, when already the layoffs in the industry are insurmountable for many, despite ongoing attempts to unionize. That user called someone a fascist for pointing this out, too. I guess both of you feel that way about those of us involved in class action lawsuits against AI image generation software.

i can't speak for anyone else or the things they've said or think of anyone. that said:

1. you should not look up to people on the computer. i'm just a girl running a silly little blog.

2. i am an artist across multiple mediums. the 'no true scotsman' bit where 'artists' are people who agree with you and you can discount anyone disagrees with you as 'not an artist' and therefore fundamentally unsympathetic to artists will make it very difficult to actually engage in substantive discussion.

3. i've stated my positions on this many times but i'll do it one more: i support unionization and industrial action. i support working class artists extracting safeguards from their employers against their immiseration by the introduction of AI technology into the work flow (i just made a post about this funnily enough). i think it is Bad for studio execs or publishers or whoever to replace artists with LLMs. However,

4. this is not a unique feature of AI or a unique evil built into the technology. this is just the nature of any technological advance under capitalism, that it will be used to increase productivity, which will push people out of work and use the increased competition for jobs to leverage that precarity into lower wages and worse conditions. the solution to this is not to oppose all advances in technology forever--the solution is to change the economic system under which technologies are leveraged for profit instead of general wellbeing.

5. this all said anyone involved in a class action lawsuit over AI is an enemy of art and everything i value in the world, because these lawsuits are all founded in ridiculous copyright claims that, if legitimated in court, would be cataclysmic for all transformative art--a victory for any of these spurious boondoggles would set a precedent that the bar for '''infringement''' is met by a process that is orders of magnitude less derivative than collage, sampling, found art, cut-ups, and even simple homage and reference. whatever windmills they think they are going to defeat, these people are crusading for the biggest expansion of copyright regime since mickey mouse and anyone who cares at all about art and creativity flourishing should hope they fail.

So how old are little Stan/Ford in your Twins in Time AU?

Depends who you ask

[daily-leon]

I love the way you draw helena so buff i might cry, crying tears from my lesbian eyes

In reality I just kind of struggle with drawing really thin people, but if it results in art of buff women then who am I to complain

[mothercain]

will we reach it one day?

it will let you near but it won’t let you stay. that’s the part i’m not sure how to reconcile with yet.

[owwllly]
