Hi everyone... I'm so sorry for putting such a distasteful thing on your feed.... I usually try to settle this privately but their behaviour has left me extremely upset and angry ;-;

If you are able to, could I ask for your help to report them on Instagram? They have also stolen artworks from other artists, ran it through AI and put their own watermark on them 🥲

Thank you much for reading this! Signal boosting this is alright with me too!

Update: They blocked me on Instagram so I'm unable to do anything now.....

I had intention to take this post down if the situation between us is resolved but I'm unable to determine that now........ I'm at a loss.... 🥲

Update 2: Ive been informed that after blocking me, they tried to convince their followers that I gave them my drawing because I'm their fan???????

THIS IS A WHOLE LIE. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE THEM.

Attached is my chatlog again that they claim they "have no obligation to disclose":

Everyone is free to spread my screenshot of my conversation with them if it could clear the misunderstanding.... I'm so sorry if I sound so desperate, I'm really not doing too well

I will try not to publicly bring this matter up any further I will really try

Update 3: This person has privated their account but I was informed they are still trying to convince others that I was their fan who gave them my drawing but rescinded my gift because I didn't want to be their friend anymore.

Therefore I'm the one in the wrong as I had "betrayed" them

This is a whole lie

I never knew this person beforehand

I was never their friend

I was never their fan

The drawing they stole was never meant to be a gift to anybody

I'm not asking you to report them since they have gone private.

I only ask for everyone to NOT believe their lie if they ever want to make a comeback.

I will keep on fighting for myself till the end if I have to.

That’s extremely disrespectful and annoying! When my game started gaining popularity, there were a lot of people reposting it and pretending to be its creator or developer! It’s unacceptable that we artists still have to go through this. I hope everything works out, Rattetytat I’ll do my part, too!

Baby cuttlefish attempting to camouflage for the very first time

wish there was a source for this!

'the accolade'

A new Pride art, even though Pride Month ended a while ago. I received over 100 suggestions from you—far too many to get through in just one month—but there were so many cool ideas among them. I’ll try to work through a lot more of them before next year’s Pride Month.

Someone suggested „a lady and her knight,“ and this idea immediately came to mind.

I drew the background with traditional media and then painted the figures digitally on top. For the background, I used a graphite pencil and granulating watercolors from Schmincke.

Red.

Do the AI people know that the rest of us who never got on the bandwagon are still doing everything the same way we always have

The AI boom has changed literally nothing about my day to day life except I now have to work harder to get access to reliable information, all the important admin work is being done wrong, and I keep getting DMs letting me know the perfectly ordinary and plausible photo I liked was actually a fake image generated by a fascist to generate views and churn out ad money for the purpose of funding their tree-powered puppy-flushing toilet

"But how are you living life WITHOUT Doctor Leroy's Magically Invigorating Nerve Tonic? I can't imagine getting anything done without it!" <- old-timey 1800s guy who has been drinking crank and goat piss daily for the price of a shiny nickel

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

I just watched a video essay about how the twilight movies specifically have compelling evidence for the entire thing being something Bella made up after falling down the stairs and going to the hospital and usually I hate those “it was all just a dream” theories but frankly this one is hilarious so I like it

nostalgia bait is much less effective when you have memory problems. "hey its that thing from your childhood, don't you love thing from your childhood?" i wouldnt know </3 i forgor.

Rocky thinking Grace literally said “I have to go and die” on one of their first interactions is so funny to me. Like imagine meeting an alien after almost half a century alone and then they go “ah, bad timing, I’m gonna go lay down and never get up. Nice meeting ya! :)”
