Hi folks,

I'm going to try to make sure that new stuff is uploaded pretty much every day (it gets very addictive to generate the images... "Just one more set of photos this time, really, I can stop any time now...")

Had originally planned on some sort of Subscription features, but know how frustrating it is when 98% of a DA page has a Paywall of Death. Going to try to figure out something fair and attractive - already set up a few Tip Jar only folders but they didn't really get any feedback, so I've been only doing Watchers Only folders for the moment. Still a bit of a newbie, so if any old DA soldiers have suggestions, I'm all ears.

My Mission Statement : Expect an overabundance herein, if there's something you like here, then there should a ton of it...

Okay, I get a lot of requests from people asking if they can use my art for some vaguely-purposed art project ans I'm just going to say NO - if I can learn to create my own art using the aid of a computer program, then so can you.

I also sometimes get requests to use my art for publication, but the offers don't involve any pay or even comp copies of the publisher's other books - just art credits. Now, I know that AI art doesn't involve anywhere near the amount of time, skill, sweat, tears, and effort (or even physical storage space and care) that traditional art requires, but it does require trial and error, thought and imagination. If someone like Sal Quartuccio wanted to do a collection, if someone wanted me to provide covers for a comic, or if some publisher asked if I could do an illustrated novel, I'd say Yes, but otherwise....

I'm also going to reiterate that I don't do commissions as it always ends with me trying to accommodate someone to result. Usually very similar to what one traditional artist friend used to complain about "people trying to get free art" out of him. If someone has an artistic request that inspires my imagination (like the person who brought an obscure bit of history or made a 40K joke reply that made for a great visual joke) - and isn't one of the endless requests for torture porn - I might just do it for the fun of it and post it on my page.

Ohmigawd! An AI actually spelled something correctly for once! :
