REMINDER THAT DEVIANTART SUPPORTS AI & IS OWNED BY AN ISR**L COMPANY!!!
A few days ago, I was locked out of my account for making a tweet informing others about this fact. Since they silenced me, I’m speaking louder!
This is an AWARENESS thread WITH ALTERNATIVES!

I didn't want to believe this was true but now it's been confirmed by Rayark themselves.
They've replaced their team of artists in favour of AI art.. this is REAL PROOF AI will take away our jobs.
I play Deemo, VOEZ and Cytus II non-stop and I'm extremely disappointed.

Artists looking for clients, I CANNOT express this enough.
The best ways to get clients is to network and build your brand!
Not *JUST* going to every tweet & direct messages of each person looking for art.
You WILL look like a bot. (And that’s bad for business.)

I HIGHLY recommend artists to block them.
They either refuse to take down the art they've claimed as their own or they repost art without permission/credits.

If you’re going to disrespect artists you shouldn’t be a VTuber.
The entire concept of VTubing is using a virtual avatar that has been created by an artist.
Why do people think they can get away with having a platform while disrespecting the people who built it?

I tweeted about it already, but I’m shaking.
As someone with an ex who controlled me, was on call with me 24/7 except for school, watched me sleep & wake up on call..
I made up lies about my schedule to SING as my only escape and MAFUMAFU’S SONGS were part of that!!
(1/25)
on christmas of 2021, a-ko and mafumafu promised to spend that day together. mafumafu bought a cake, a present for her, and patiently waited for her to come.
she never came because she was "sharing a room" with another guy that night.

All the games I've played have inspired me to study art and modelling for games because I want to create that kind of magic too.

Oh yeah, as someone pointed out.
Cytus II is a game based around a story about the dangers of over-reliance on AI..??
Slight spoilers, but in the story you find out the entire civilisation relies heavily on AI technology humans underestimate the capabilities of.

This tweet shows DeviantArt supporting Isr**l, which is because that’s where their parent company is now based.
DeviantArt was acquired by Wix back in 2017 which is an Isr**li company.
This could explain the sudden changes to the site, such as Eclipse.

I love original character artists.
If you are an original character artist who is worried no one will care about your art since it isn’t a fanart for a canon character, just know I care about your sillies and I’m interested in them more than anything canon-related.

To any artist who is using VGen and gets invite codes.. PLEASE, I implore you, don’t do giveaways/raffles for those invite codes.
Give them to someone you trust who doesn’t have an account yet. Check through their profile yourself and see if they’re trustworthy!

This is a big red flag as AI generated images are often used to scam or trick others, and AI generated images itself infringes on artists by stealing their art for training the AI.
One alternative would be Inkblot! They are anti-AI and run by a small passionate team.

Wix has a history of supporting AI that you can find in this article here in relation to their website builder.
This went on to affect DeviantArt; as the site is now littered in pro-AI endorsements by the site/staff itself and generated images.

Dear non-artists! Please don’t assume the time and effort someone puts into their art.
An artwork that looks like it took 2 hours to complete could in fact have taken over 20 hours. You wouldn’t know because you didn’t draw it!
This is why very many artists underprice.

Here is a post showing DeviantArt outright choosing AI generated images over the work of artists.
If you go on DeviantArt today, you will be swamped with AI generated images. Some aren’t even tagged as AI, and it seems to only be going downhill.
(4/14)
So, deviantart is hosting an "Adoptables March Madness" event, where all 3 example adoptables are AI-generated. The entries in the replies to their promotional journal post are also swamped with AI-generated images. I'm speechless.

Their entire foundation for the technology they have was stolen by a different civilisation, and not knowing the dangers of using it they used it anyway.
Then it causes a massive attack, in the story characters are hurt physically and mentally because of AI.

Is this that serious as what happened in the game? No.
But the game’s core message definitely contradicts Rayark’s actions.
In Cytus II it does show a future where AI and humans can coexist peacefully, but in the game they abused AI for their own selfish gain.

IbisPaint users I have bad news.

It has an AI image detector which is a protective layer against allowing AI onto the site. The thread in the quote has most information you’d need about it so I’ll continue!

Question for artists! When you’re having moments where you think “I want to quit art”, what motivates you to not?
Does the thought just go away with time, or do you have something that motivates you to keep going? In fact, have you NEVER had this thought before?

Cytus II’s story shows there’s consequences when you don’t consider the livelihood/feelings of others.
Abusing something for your own selfish gain, not realising the damage it can do. Just looking for a shortcut.
AI art is built on the work of other artists, it’s theft.

You can also sell them through Ko-fi by setting them as a shop item. The website YCH has also been recommended, but I haven’t used it myself so I’m not quite sure about it!

I wanted to add, for BUYERS try and steer clear of DeviantArt as well.

Hello mutuals!
I want to see you on my timeline/feed more, sometimes the algorithm makes it so I barely see your tweets. ><'
If you'd like to get closer please interact with this tweet! I hope you've been well, feel free to share how you are and what you've been up to!

“It’s tea time!”
My first time doing an actual drawing of Kyo, I really love her and I’m so happy she’s my second persona!
Interaction and support appreciated!

I love real artists. I checked, and I’ve commissioned 270+ artworks in my lifetime.
Art has something extremely profound and special about it when made by human hands. There’s so many times I received art and it led me to squeal, jump and show my friends. It means so much to me.

DON’T UNDERPRICE OR UNDERVALUE YOUR ART.
Your art is WORTH something. No one knows how hard you’ve practiced to reach the point you’re at, no one knows how much you struggle. No one but YOU.
YOU ALONE GET TO DETERMINE THE WORTH OF YOUR OWN ART, AND IT IS NOT WORTHLESS.

Hello artist! I’m here to remind you no one is expecting you to come out with art or masterpieces all the time.
Please make sure to work at your own pace and if you don’t feel happy with drawing at the moment please take a break. Rest is very important and will help.

Word gets around. No one will want to work with you if you’re slandering the artists you CHOSE to work with and if you’re filing surprise chargebacks.
Emotes, panels, stream overlays and alerts are/can also be made by artists. VTubing would simply not exist without them.

Every time you like something, there’s a high chance it’ll show up in that person’s notifications OR others.
If you find you’re tweeting your work & no one interacts with it, go out and interact with others because it does genuinely draw people back to your page.
