So apparently im going to be blacklisted by a random person on here (by their own admission) because some of my personal work (and free to view content) uses AI images. Fun world we live in. He claims because it steals from artists (and yes there is some truth to that) but there is also the truth that if it is used as representational or placeholder, and is not used for commercial purposes aka to make money off of it? I dont see the harm.  We live in the day and age that we have access to creative mediums the likes of which will only continue to evolve. Whether or not if we like it. We can either shut down our ability to be involved there, or accept it and improve ourselves so that we remain relevant. That's what I do.
          	
          	Apparently he has now decided that AI art is pure evil and he now hates it and because I told him that "no I won't delete any of my posts that include AI art", hes proceeded to threaten me, block me, and most likely will engage in blacklisting me on some sort of forum or whatever.
          	
          	People...this is the age we live in. People getting offended on other people's behalf over something that has no real bearing on their own lives. Do I believe this person can actually effect me on here / my patreon? No. But please, if you have feelings on this sort of thing, dont inflict them on others that otherwise just mind their own damn business. Thank you.
          	
          	Oh and to that certain person, if you're still following me on here. Grow up.

@Alreigch I understand why people don't like the use of A.I art or AI in general, mainly because it negatively affects the environment and people prefer to pay real artists. But as an artist, I don't really care lol. I genuinely don't understand why people care so much about it when literally everything hurts the environment In some way, and not just AI. And sometimes people just don't want to pay for something that isn't a necessity. AI can be helpful in some cases.‍♂️

I’m a comic and manga artist and book cover designer who loves turning stories like yours into art that moves, breathes, and truly connects.

Haha same here, bro — totally get it. Passion projects always come first even when the wallet disagrees 
            Still, respect for chasing the dream. If things ever line up or you need help on a smaller concept, I’d be down to collaborate just for the art of it.

@amara_blaise88 admittedly im also very wary as almost all the artists who have offered the same deal have either been trying to scam me, get money out of me, or use AI art. Not saying you do, but its a reaccuring issue

@amara_blaise88 no problem. Sadly unless you want to work on a web toon and get paid on half for any revenue it generated (my old deal with my previous illustrator I sadly dont work with anymore since he got super busy) I cant afford to. Lifelong dream, no money haha

@eev182 all current chapters should be available on my patreon for free, up to ch. 20+ I haven't been able to write for a long time but fully want to continue if not entirely reboot the entire series with my new vision.
