Addressing AI Art (Patreon)

Hey everyone, those at the $10 tier have been enjoying some AI artwork, but as I see it coming up more in the media I wanted to address my use of it.

For those of you who’ve been here a while, you’ve seen the art I’ve commissioned and some of the struggles I’ve had with it. Artist being late so I don’t have art for characters at the right time, or a limited quantity of art due, frankly, to time it takes to find and commission art.

Then half the time I find someone who does good work, they often end up closing commissions after a few pieces to launch their patreon or get a salary job for their art.

What you haven’t seen is the time I have to spend to follow up with the artists and the two instances that have gone as far as me having to report and request a refund through paypal. Unfortunately, the lower budget art scene is a little messy.

There was art I provided earlier that I came to learn the artist was ripping off, recoloring, and adding some minor edits to Danonfuga’s work. Needless to say I couldn’t continue to use that artist.

I am still committed to using Yanai and Alditha for my covers and Moe for my character concept art. Those pieces have a need for perfection that remains outside the AI art’s capabilities.

Though, now with the AI art, I can spend a few hours and make fairly good NSFW art for characters around chapters that they are prominent in. Hopefully here soon I can get good enough at this to do some action scene images, those are much much harder. But it is fun fluff art that I wouldn’t really have the time to order anyways and I hope some of you find it enjoyable.

Also, can I just say, as a writer, it is so fucking cool for my words to turn into images. So awesome! >.<

I'm continuing to support my artists, but I am having some fun with extra time to make more images of the girls.

P.S. enjoy one of my favorites for Sasha, it's NSFW so use caution.
