hello fellow comic art fans.

i am the goblin who runs this here blog. otherwise known as @jondoe297

i am extremely bummed that when i do come out and adress the followers of this blog directly it will be with this news. well. here goes:

Comic Art Showcase will indefinitely stop sharing our favorite artists' works until further notice due to the deal tumblr's owner is making with A.I. companies to sell data,enabling the theft of the works of the platform's users to scrape to train their A.I.

and here is a good article about what's going on

while for the over 5 years(!!) now that i have run this page and shared the love of comic art i am so passionate about,through ups and downs,i have kept this page strictly for doing so. not presenting any topics or ideas or even showing my own personality or linking my personal blog(even though i have been flirting with the idea recently. well i guess now is as good a time as any) i feel that if nothing else i have to use this specific platform i have,as it is,to address this topic as it is intrinsic and intertwined with this page's theme or activity. and i will not have it be an open buffet for these greedy corporations to scrape for data to feed the A.I. with which they seek to replace the very artists that i love and admire! even though it may be too late as we don't really know how long they've been doing this. well the inevitable came. and if this page is not deleted it will at least not be posted on for the time being. while we figure out what to do next.

in the meantime we can and have to all do what we can to fight for artists' and creatives' rights. if nothing else by not being a part of the theft and exploitation of them an their work. please do not use any generative A.I. programs for images or text. they work by scraping from databases of artists' and creatives' works without any permission,credit or compensation.

for now we can at least 'opt out' of having our content be shared with the A.I. companies in the settings.

keep in mind this seems to be only available on the web version and not on the app for now!

go to your blog settings from the corner here

ID/image description: a screenshot of the tumblr blog with a red arrow pointed at the options button. end description.

then go to 'blog settings'

then go to visibility. and turn ON the 'prevent third-party sharing' option. make sure to turn it ON not off.

and you have to do this for each blog and sideblog individually so make sure to do that!

and artists make sure to use Nightshade and Glaze to protect your artwork and images!!!!

here's a link to Nightshade

here's a link to Glaze

the best combination is to use Nightshade first then Glaze on your images.

Glaze creates a protective layer on the image to prevent A.I. from copying it. while Nightshade poisons the A.I. sotfware.

stay safe friends an i will see you around❤

Behold

i am so tired of this. we are so tired of this. between Bob Iger's garbage comments,that one executive straight out sayin they'll wait out the strikes till people start losin their homes an now this. how long do they think they can keep treating the creatives they get rich off while doin nothin themselves like this? till when will they do an say whatever they want an keep gettin away with it? not long now.. not long. not anymore.

also Karla Ortiz keeps kickin butt❤

here's a link to the Have I Been Trained website for you to click

ALSO! use Glaze to protect the images of your work you post!

here's a link to that as well for you

it basically creates a protective layer on the image that prevents AI from stealin it. Very important. all the info is on the site.

"Leave you here I don't wanna

I wanna…

Love you as one does…"

April 2024 edit : now with an official Redesign ^^

Like a lot of people, I was semi-disapointed by Disney's "Wish", even more as I read more and more about what it could have been. So I try and comfort myself with my own version of Human!Star, a more original-like Asha and Magnifico and Amaya's unholy matrimony.

Because being a couple of narcissistic entitled tyrants doesn't mean you can't have a loving relationship ^^

Ai generated images need to be controlled and regulated!

The music industry has shown that this is possible and that music, musicians and copyright can be protected! We need this for visual art too!  The database scraps all art they can find on the internet! Artists didn’t give their permission and there is no way to opt out! Even medical reports and photos that are classified are being fed into those ai machines! It’s unethical and criminal and they weasel they way around legal terms!

Stand with artists! Support them! Regulate AI!

Edit: no I don’t want the art world to be like the music industry! This was just an example to show that with support and lobby some kind of moderation is possible! But no one fucking cares for artists!

Honestly, this whole AI bs did so much critical damage to my emotional HP, I felt we really needed more people talking about it, so here I am!

Putting the title aside though, I’m really not here to tell you what to do, you decide what’s best for you based on your own circumstances!!

I made this post merely to calm you down, show the options and give you some hope that yes, there’s still a future for our career!

We’ll have to keep fighting for it of course, but that’s a topic for another comic, stay tuned! 👀

Here’s a doodle of Chase Brody for Septic Art Party- and JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME TOO!!

This one was lowkey the hardest for me to figure out because art block was beating me up, so I pumped out this doodle and everything turned out fine!!

I will never support AI Art

To me, like so many other artists, it is a threat to us all struggling to get our names out in the world.

It encourages art theft.

It encourages people to disregard the original artist's hard work.

It encourages plagiarism.

It shows no respect for actual artists.

It is the complete opposite of transformative art & expression.

You cannot convince me that relying on an algorithm is a good alternative for artists or newcomers when it backpedals off of other people's work. Works that can take hours, days, sometimes weeks to complete. And all it takes for an AI "artist" is a few clicks and they've got a frankensteined version of someone else's work, with painfully obvious imperfections they don't bother to correct or notice. AI art is no different than people who make Nightcore "music" and claim its hard work.

As a starving artist, this is insulting. I don't care how it works, none of that matters when art theft is strongly tied to it. It scares me that people will abuse these sources to steal jobs from people like myself who desperately want to work in the artistic field (or companies will use AI to do the job itself), and it disappoints me when others try to sell AI art and admit they didn't even draw it!

Am I a perfect artist? No. Do I strive to get better? Yes. Would I consider using it if my hands had to be amputated and I couldn't draw? I’d pay fellow artists for commissions than feed an algorithm that vomits out abominations.

I will never support these sad excuses for "artists", or its community. It will forever lack the one crucial element no artificial intelligence can replicate... Imagination. If you support this garbage community, see no issue with it, think it will be accepted over time and it is the way of the future... You are out of your mind, have lost my support, and I won't be the only real artist out there that will say the same thing.

What better way to vent about low-effort AI-generated artwork than with a low-effort shitpost?

Messy, botched lines in very random places. Like a crappily used dip pen. This is usually found in ai trying to replicate an artstyle that is not anime.

Speaking of which, an artstyle that is almost always semi realistic airbrused anime with no stylistic changes whatsoever. This is common.

Random background choices: (Ex. Sometimes ai just makes a background very weird bubbles connecting to the "art", just a random splitscreen with two colors)

HANDS. Need no explanation.

(Relating to #2) not anime, its usually very realistic airbrushed art.

If you see two mouths, three hands or five legs, its probably ai.

(Relating to #1) Usually in ai fan"art" it really just looks off.

The ai anime eyes. Yeah you know those ones.

Weird celebrity photos

Look for ai watermarks.

Don't let ai frighten you. It will die out trying to follow the trends, trying to adapt. So keep drawing. Don't lose motivation because of these robots. I believe in you!

[sarahdraws16]

There’s no protection to the work of those artists who are against the ai and still people are using their art without their consent to feed the artificial intelligence. Some people may not like it or like it but It is a fact that artists will always have the right to fight for their own work and shouldn’t be silenced.
