I constantly see people trying to get commissions here making blog entrys and keep improving their artistic style just to miserable fail at getting any chance, then this AI is taking aways this opportunitys so it feel really disrecpectful for the rest of artist that the guy who only use AI (And a very bad one) is getting works that true people could get instead

This will only cause that less artist join this place on first place if they see AI is taking the commissions, there are only a few active artist still on Whentai and I dont think is a good idea to lose potential artist just to protect a guy who doenst make an effort to draw and even the current artists could lose interest on keep trying if that become more common, today is one but that open the posibbilities to more AI appear eventually and will end keeping away people from using Whentai

Whentai is quite a small site and is far yet from recover from the crisis it have 2 years ago, this will only perjudicate this place to a irreparable state if you allow the AI to take the spot rather than valorate the true artists that still work here

When I joined 10 years ago I was rejected as an artist in a few occassions before finally get my artists status and I even remember a guy who contacted me in PM (Not sure why me) that was hoping to get his artist status, he actually neved did it and he left, why there are so many AI that blatantly get artist status this days?

I pretty sure and hope that more artist will show their support in this case, so admins please remove this artist status of Zioart and have a better quality filter when it comes to accept artist, this is the kind of things that damage the image of this place, fight for what is right

@Pedroillusions, totally agree. AI is destroying artist jobs. Also, i have to admit that I'm having less work since this distopia started. Sometimes I have been thinking on leave Whentai for the low jobs, and if they continuing accepting AI art i will leave it for good. I'm an anti-GenAI and I have left other social networks because of that subject.

IMVHO there are a lot of other things that are chasing real artists away from here besides AI.
Trouble getting paid seems like a bigger problem for artists and problems buying EV from the other end for commissioners.
BTW
Some AI generating sites are not using whole original art anymore but creating compilations of images.
As long as the characters are drawn from the minds of artists I don't mind if the BG is generic or AI.

You are always dependable and if you bid on a commission, I will almost always pick you. Usually if I don't it's because I collaborated with an artist on a specific project. Even then I most likely would see what you'll do with the idea.

@Molrad this is not specifially about the "artist" you are hiring. Is the fact that AI is from stolen art and its not ethican in any situation. I'm totally against it and people who use it don't even deserve the right to be called artists. And AI of course hurts artists in any platform, is made from scam, stole and bullying. I'm asking that this page need to respect REAL artists. Thats why there are a lot of open demands against it and real artists are leaving social networks, for example from meta or twitter. It's a matter of principles and ethics.

#PinkyCrocodile and #Pedroillusions
OK, no more Zioarts "art" for me.
Anybody else?
This Artists VS AI reminds me of last century's music fights.
That settled down eventually even if most ***gs these days are not as good.
Of course, my parents said the same thing about classic rock.
So, it goes

WTF
I can't even write the Music & lyrics together word without the stupid censor crap.?
IMVHO that another thing wrong with Whentai...

Broo! #PinkyCrocodile you can see in the meru commission clearly it's not an AI image , name me an AI generator tool, and use the AI to create the same image of the commission and then you can say something about "AI Creation". ALL AI ARE BAD they will always mess up the image from deformed hands to faces.

If you can create the same image using AI art I will quit WHENTAI on my own. Which I am 100 percent certain you can't.

If you confuse the artstyle with AI, it's not my problem, I use Photoshop to draw the commissions and I use filters in Photoshop filter gallery, all my commissions are drawn from 0 to 100 using Photoshop and Adobe illustrator, not my problem if you don't own or use these two applications.

If you want proof I'll send you the screen shot of the layers on my application

I dont need to see anything to know you are using AI, you can fool yourself or maybe a normal user, but not a REAL ARTIST

Next elf/pizza comic? Later this week.

#Pedroillusions
What about Katara VS Azula? Or Toph VS Mai or Ty Lee?

i wish i can get notifications on blog posts, this website is a little odd on that.

I have a 3-panel Oxy Cottontail coming up. Watch for it

why you did not want to publish your NSFW games here?

because you only accept flash ones isn't it? i do them on Godot and unity.

Also think the EVs issue is making people buy less stuff here :(

We accept crypto - it works fine. And you can always change crypto to PayPal

I already have crypto in here, but since i have still to wait for the $100 minimum have been difficult for me to upload paywall content. Also, as I see website have been a little dead lately.

As for your game list: can you send the archive to [email protected] ? And we try to place your games in your profile in manual mode.

ok, games need time, so i wasn't sure to start one, so once i have it, if i see stuff get better here, i will upload with no doubt. thnks for the info

Bytheway you can use HTML5 export in unity, and we have such option for game upload (HTML5 section, not only flash - check please)

ok, thanks! Will check that.

Newground Erogames gamecore

thanks!! :D

#PinkyCrocodile
On gamecore there's a fun strip poker game where you can get your favorite anime characters to get naked 4 at a time...

#molrad I will check if i can upload something there. thanks for the advice :).

what about that nutaku site? why don't you try that one

I might do a commission with you! I want to know what you can and can't do?

I'm open to anything except ****, minors (which can clearly be seen to be ***s) or with explicit ******s. Open to *****, LGBT, BDSM or anything you have in mind.

I'm sending my idea to your DM.

If people can't buy EV they can't pay for commissions. Not everyone wants to deal in cryptos

fuf, that's a big issue :S. I understand about not wanting to deal with crypto. I lost $180 USD the first time i try to do a withdraw, and no help from whentai on that issue. But Im open if you need anything via paypal :)

I'll have one up soon. I had to do a roundabout way to get more EVs. If it works again, I'll post it early next week.

thanks! Will wait for it :D

Page 2 of "pirate Nico" this week 150EV's
