Wrong Restroom (TG, AP, Preg) by Laser-Wing, literature

Revenge of the 'Nice Guy' (TG) by Laser-Wing, literature

I haven't really submitted anything since July of last year, aside from some comments here and there, so I'd like to give a few updates. I'm still learning to draw. It is slow and frustrating, but every finished piece, no matter how low quality it is at the moment, is 100 times more fulfilling than ai-generating thousands of images. It's not necessarily something that is for everyone, but I seriously recommend that you try working with your hands if you're able to and haven't tried. It also pulls you away from endlessly consuming. I will not submit any of my art to this gallery at the moment, because I simply don't think that its quality is good enough. I'm continuing to write stories. Some stories are longer than my usual stuff, and I'm re-writing and editing a few things, so it's unlikely that you'll see any of it this quarter. That said, I have created an account on tgstorytime under the name laser-wings: https://tgstorytime.com/viewuser.php?uid=16988 . I re-posted three of my

These decisions are set in stone. I will not deactivate this account. I will no longer take AI requests of any kind. Everything I've used is free, and nothing I did with AI took any skill, so this should not be an issue. With that, free requests are over as well. I will no longer post AI-generated stuff. I might still use AI generated stuff in the creation process. At most, I want to use it as a tool instead of the whole factory. More concretely, AI is fine in pre-production, but not in anything past that. Any brushstroke, any line, any letter you see in my gallery from now on will be done by me. I will not delete the AI-generated stuff from my gallery. If anyone with a distaste for AI stuff comes across my gallery, they should be well-informed before watching/blocking/ignoring/whatever my account. I will put more time and effort into things before I submit them. I'm done taking shortcuts. I want to put Quality over Quantity. That means that there will be fewer submissions in total. I

A friendly suggestion to everyone who is currently enjoying the onslaught of AI-generated images: Please do not treat this as a replacement for commissioning artists. It is one thing to say that you wouldn't have commissioned someone to do art for you anyway, so using AI to generate stuff doesn't really affect anything. It is an entirely different matter to go and stop commissioning artists because of this new toy we found. I know that times are tough for a lot of people, financially or otherwise, but we should not forget our humanity when living with AI. Artists have invested a lot of time and money into improving their craft, and as long as we need money to live, they *deserve* to have their effort rewarded. I'm making a deliberate effort now to visit artists' galleries, and fav and comment on their stuff, and I'm going to commission them more often. The crap I make the AI create in a few minutes does not hold a candle to an actual human mind making decisions about how to solve
