Cleaning My Gallery and the Future
Hi, so...yeah, I thought I'd come back to talk about a few things. It's been a long time so get ready for some brain spillage. Over the three years? I think? I've been taking online classes at an art school, going towards a Masters in Visual Development, gradually developing my skills as an artist and storyteller. It's been a great way for me to learn about the industry, something I never got in community college or university. Despite the usual frustrations that come with school, I feel I've been truly learning about what I love to do in these classes. My hope is that I can publish a story project I am proud of with the characters I've created and friends I've made these past few years. Part of me right now is still wishy-washy on what I should be doing right now to get myself out there as an artist for hire, though. It's all a process to kind of figure myself out, which I've always been sort of slow at. Though, truthfully, it's all still kind of intimidating, but I think one day I
AI art? No fucking thanks
UPDATE: They have backpedaled and opted all deviations out of AI datasets site wide, both for third-parties and for their DreamUp system. Unfortunately, it's too little too late as already many people have either purged their galleries or have deleted their accounts entirely. I don't blame them. I won't be leaving. I have way too much attachment to this place, I quickly realized. But I will be using other sites to spread my art to, including my Tumblr page. -- So, it's come to my attention that AI generated art is going to become a feature on this site, called DreamUp. It's been a while since I've made a journal, so I might as well write one up to say I am pretty livid. Firstly, however, I will say that as an exclusive tool, AI art can be fairly useful especially for young artists or artists who may need a little bit of help visualizing something, but I simply cannot accept AI art as a legitimate form of art. I won't go into a super long rant about it simply because I don't have
I am back! Kind of.
Okay, so some people have been asking where I've been the past year. Very basically, since the big Eclipse update I have felt less and less incentive to post anything at all here, plus I've been dealing with a few personal anxieties and have been wrapped up in writing and coming with story ideas with my friends. I haven't truly left, but I have been wanting a long break from posting overall. I'm not going to be here regularly, but I think I will finally get back to posting every now and again. I'll probably start with the most recent things I've drawn this past year and a half, mostly to do with what my friends and I have been writing with our roleplays. Some might know it, as I've posted art for it before, but I think it's time I started sharing again. I'm also thinking more seriously about taking these ideas somewhere outside of just roleplaying. Truly I feel like we have something special that deserves to be developed and eventually seen for real. Also, because of what DA has
Commissions Are CLOSED on my Ko-fi page!
UPDATE: Commissions are now closed! Thank you so much! -- After what feels like years since taking commissions, I'm finally comfortable enough to accept them once again. My financial situation may have something to with it as well, but yes! I'll be using Ko-fi's new commission system to give this a try, so I'm curious to see how it will work. If you're interested, you can find all my commission info and processes on my Ko-fi page! http://ko-fi.com/earthgweearts/commissions --EarthGwee
