No, I do not. I avoid Ai "assisting" searches. I use reference material compiled by people. I work from my own head, heart & experience. When those aren't enough I reach out to other people. GenAi is the antithesis to writing. Creative, analytical, etc. It does not create. It vomits stolen talent.

I went to a pottery painting place with my hubby on my 🎂 @xneonknight.bsky.social and I made a Doodle cup!! And I love how it turned out so much🥹💜

I have photos of the first goblin castings for my kickstarter!! @ramshacklegames.bsky.social sent me them and soon I can paint them! Here you can see Snailey, Boup, Werm, Gremily, Tode and friends!

RahiTuber has phoneme support now??? Oh my god just in time for my South Park lip sync style model to be rigged.

I'm going to make a paid tutorial ($1 ~ $2) on how to make and sell cursors online. I'll also make a simplified and summarized FREE version just talking about how to make the cursors (without the part about how to sell)

If you didn't know it, Clip Studio assets CAN be used in commercial works! The only limitation is afaik situations where the asset itself would be the "finished work", or reselling the assets which are NOT permitted. But, yeah! You can use these deco stamps and premade poses even for commissions! 🙂‍↕️

Hey so I've been seeing the pencilslop trend go around, and while I also find it silly, I highly recommend blocking the account that started the term. Dunking on AI losers is fun, but if you're not protecting yourselves by blocking, you're just signaling for them to yank your art to feed to AI.

I will literally block anyone and everyone for any reason I want - and those reasons aren't always something you did "wrong", but just things I don't wanna see or energy I don't mesh with. Try not to dwell on it and move onward. There are plenty of people who DO like you.

Frosty Tools Sucks. There are simpler, easier, less destructive things you can use instead. Nightbot, Moobot, Streamer.Bot & MixItUp are all viable subs. Sources: 1: xcancel.com/KenAKAFrosty... 2: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pil... 3: www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... #vtuber #envtuber #vtsky #vsky

I can't believe we named an entire generation of Zoomers after video conferencing software, and no one talks about this.

The website in question (101soundboards) is a slur-filled cesspit of a website, with hundreds and hundreds of streamers clips that appear to be scraped off of twitch and used to create soundboards as well as AI TTS generators. It is worth checking to see if you've been affected. (2/7)

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the newest MH Hot Wheels color shifters vehicle on my tl so here’s a video. Found it in the wild in a book store. #monsterhigh #dollsky

I remember going to a pottery museum and the lady at the ticket desk pointed at my face and said “You don’t need to pay” despite me clearly wearing a badge I got from my college orientation week bc I’m Asian and baby faced. While the actual teenager I went with got charged bc he was tall lmao!

I can’t believe how fitting this paper sarcophagus is with Monster Fest Cleo de Nile #dollsky

Finally finished this kit. I don’t have a Cleo doll with me rn so I’m gonna see if it fits a G3 Cleo later

It would be so funny if I live to see another Maki96 situation in the MH fanartist community considering what recent events imply

Cleo de Nile is getting a fangtastic sarcophagus soon hehehehe

I think I have come up with a favorite food combo that’s worse than pineapple on pizza Blue cheese and century egg, anyone?

Trying to do EAH style the way it was always meant to be done. As vector art! I thought of the idea of doing this after figuring I could automate doing all the scribbles with certain path effects.

New video out on my channel! A little bit different from my usual, but I hope it will still be helpful/ informative/ interesting at least! 💖✨️ This is just the start, too! There's more to come🤭🫰🏻 youtu.be/_5nZt7hXbXw?...

The reason I don’t really join collabs anymore is bc at some point I felt like I was making art just not to feel left out and not bc ppl were interested in my work. I’ve seen too many cliques formed from collab buddies crash and burn as quickly as they were formed.

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

oh boy, youtube changed its interface again lmao, there's a new button in the video summary and they made the button EXTRA BIG and the other buttons much smaller, just in the hopes that someone would please please please click on it please use it PLEASE it's not even a "dark pattern" it's just sad

Lmao when a staff member subscribes to a block list made by a troll account and ends up blocking 310,700+ users, all because the majority of the users of bluesky hold the rational opinion that ai is total shit and shouldn't be used for any reason. Ai is ruining the site, and the world. Fuck ai.

hey, a new matthieu bonhomme book (that came out... last week?)

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music. Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

Well that explains a lot uquiz.com/quiz/p0u5c3/...

Artist struggles

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

SO! It's time! My model is finally ready to reveal - along with some bonuses! 👀 Thank you SO much @alyssahoshiki.art for bringing my gremlin to life. 💙 Can y'all unlock all the tiers?? #vtuber / #ocsky / #vtuberdebut

I'm so hyped i have merch now!!!! pink fish dragon things made by your favourite pink fish dragon thing! #vtuber #merch yaaay acggoods.com/store/rahisa...

I’m kinda glad that the EAH OC community had come together to exclude the genAI accounts, so they’re stuck kissing each other’s butts. Can’t say the same for MH but then again it’s a much larger fandom with various opinions.

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

....well I should've figured the cool new Flash alternative? vibecoded AI slop made with Claude, ie chat gpt with a less embarrassing veneer what a goddamn shame. The actual flash is available to download and run as abandonware these days, here: animatearchive.neocities.org?home

I actually have an OC whose glasses change in the opposite direction of this as the story progresses as a way to show how open about themselves they’ve become to the other main characters.

hope it goes without saying but no AI was used to write RahiTuber, that shit is MY spaghetti and I'm proud of it

I was reminded that there's currently no text tutorial on how to set up States in RahiTuber, so I added to this one (which used to just be the automation bit at the end). States will also be getting more features soon, so I'll update this when that happens! itch.io/post/15078300 #PNGTuber #Tutorial

Hey Rahi Beasts! Can't get enough of my outro theme? Frustrated that I always raid out halfway through it? Well now you can listen to the whole thing on Bandcamp! I even made it better just for this release! #Music #ElectronicMusic #VTuberMusic rahisaurus.bandcamp.com/track/edie-2...

If you believe more VTubers need to have knowledge in ethics and legalities when it comes to making content, I'm working on a free guide for people to easily share and read. What's written is based on my experience as a lawyer and VTuber. tinyurl.com/4cj6k9b3 #vtuber #contentcreator #streamer

scribble fusion, my collaborative drawing thing, has been updated. now you can change the brush size and zoom in scribblefusion.com here are a couple drawings i've saved from there

The first 4 Chiquitas are here! What would you name yours? #SewFierce #Dollsky

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

When the elastics on my shock mount broke, I replaced them these seamless silicone hair ties and they’re still going strong. I also loved wearing them bc it wouldn’t snag on my hair but it was really sad the brand I used got discontinued.

For Barbie's birthday I made a Locket Surprise* Barbie version of the My Beloved gif. (*The doll wasn't just locket-themed; she had a heart-shaped box built into her chest.) I drew on top of the 3d frames from makesweet.com that were designed by paulfitz. #animation #dollsky #doll #cartoon #barbie
