I Can't Leave LFLS Alone Today After That Last Chapter. Here's A Color Portrait Of Some Ninpo-unlocking

I AM UN-OKAY

"Hey how is it going?"

Gah. The curls. So adorable.

This fandom doesn't talk about the reckless drifting flying enough. Man straight up goes Baby Driver on multiple occasions

a niche character trope i like is the person who is nice, a good person and acts well adjusted, then they do something where it’s like. oh you’re secretly a little bit insane actually

I made myself sad so of course I must share and make you sad too.

Spoilers for the movie, also loosely based on my own experience with trauma and "the dark spiral" that neurodivergents sometimes get stuck in. Iykyk.

And yes it is vaguely inspired by that one amazing comic (if anybody knows the creator please let me know so I can credit them, no joke I spent an hour trying to find them to no avail) where Leo's comm is on while he's in the prison dimension and everyone can hear him being beaten nearly to death.

My new favorite t-shirt

All the money is going directly to the staff at a LGBTQIA+ bar in my hometown that experienced a mass shooting recently.

I reworked Human!Leo because I wasn't happy with his eyes and I missed the stripeys.

This is EXTREMELY CURSED and I'm truly sorry, lmao.

But that comment in the movie is one of the only information we got from Casey describing The Future, I couldn't let it slide.

How do you answer that?

Only one sketch scene and I get tired

I have an idea that i want to do but i could make only one sketch scene...

Why did I start in the middle of the night? Jaja

By the way, I DO love future Leo.

Music: Victory

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

A scene from my fic that was just too cute to not draw!

Usagi says goodbye with a kiss and Leo's NOT gonna complain about it! Raph's not so happy about it...
