For an 8ft.x 8ft. vinyl wall that’ll be on display at AnimeNYC. It’s worth the $500 if it comes out how I think it will :’ ) Spent all night vectorizing it just right (this one is a JPEG tho) 🌱

Gonna get some more sleep and enjoy Sunday a tad, hope you all are able to as well! 🖤🤖

With how much pain I’m in and how slow I have to draw because of it, I surely would draw worse than Yoshihiro Togashii at his lowest if I had a hefty deadlines. I remember reading in an interview with one of his assistants during Yuyu Hakusho: he walked in on Togashii in tears on the floor, heating pad on his back and pillow under his belly, but still drawing manga. Togashii-sensei’s back pain got so bad and he just kept drawing manga. That’s a real hero there. He made two of the best shonen manga of all time. I love HxH’s “bad” art work more than anyone because I can feel that pain when I’m reading it. I really understand that pain Togashii is in, if that makes sense. I hope he is ok now. I love that guy. Anyhow, I can’t give up drawing if I’m alive. If I’m alive, I’m drawing, please stop asking me to take a break :/ I have the mangaka fighting spirit at heart. I got that shit heavy and nothing - no matter what pain - can take that away. I can’t stop. I can’t explain why, but it’s almost automatic for me. Do you know what manga has done for my life? It is all I am at my core, I promise. I am nothing without my manga.

...With Gettyimages and Adobe; two of the most scummy companies in their fields; bringing out their own paywalled AI trained on "ethical data," (IE, officially licensed from the mountains they own) I hope we can use this opportunity to step back and stop talking about the AI art debate in terms of copyright and "theft" and more in terms of corporate exploitation and labor rights.

Because, like, the results will be the same with regards to jobs if megacorps end up using Adobe's or Getty's model in the way they'd use; say; Stablediffusion and Midjourney; without a labor pushback they'd still use it to kill jobs.

And even with the "compensation system" they talk about, which they'll conveniently use as an excuse to keep it paywalled and closed-source, I bet you my bottom dollar they're talking about a Spotify-type model. Which, if you're familiar with the music industry, you do not want a Spotify-type model.

The difference is, if Stablediffusion gets sued out of existence, you won't be able to access the tool without a paywall. And both Adobe and Getty Images have very high paywalls.

Whereas Stablediffusion, by contrast, is very much open-source and free. A lot of people run it independently online for anyone to use and if you have a PC that can run it, you can use it offline; no strings attached. Which means you can do it and tweak it as you wish, doubly so if you already have art skills.

And it's awfully suspicious in this state that Getty is in a lawsuit to try and kill SD over the "stealing" claims in a way that would leave their product as a paywalled monopoly at their whims with no Open Source alternatives.

Like... at the very least don't get played by their talk of "ethics," because even if they're licensed, in my eyes they're far less ethical than SD I'd assert, due to creating a precedent for putting this technology behind a corporate walled garden in a way that keeps other creators from using it while still killing traditional artist jobs dead if we don't push back as a collective labor force.

ChatGPT is running out of money because they haven't actually figured out how to make money with the plagiarism engine they created.

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

On a real note: I look at my manga and genuinely see that I draw and compose shots well. I used to be so insecure and beat up over dickhead Toshio Maeda telling me I’ll never be a pro for being weak/sick, but it’s nice being able to look at my art and be like “This is fucking AMAZING I CAN’T BELIEVE I MADE THIS??”

As days go by, I can see my hard work objectively rather than clouded by my views of my art. I’m actually super good at making manga ESPECIALLY considering I was crying and writhing in such bad, constant physical CPPS pain while drawing ALL of these. I would literally fall out of my chair and just scream on the floor, holding my pen with ink rolling down my fucking hand. It’s some shonen manga type perseverance sort of shit. No one has ever seen my art when I’m healthy because I’ve been sick for so long now. But man, I can’t wait until I’m healthy and my art just darts up insanely in quality. Anyhow, thanks for all the support. I can’t say something to really express my gratitude, but I know I exist on this planet to make people feel something through ink and panels. Times change; technology changes, desires change, but the necessity to create does not. Thank you for standing by my during this journey 🌱

Please read this and my others if you haven’t!
