So I'm aware of the whole AI problem but I wasn't aware that folks were purging their art from the website and other forms of SM. This is pretty troubling because it doesn't solve the issue of AI companies stealing artist's work and using legalese to avoid legal recourse for actons that quite frankly if anyone else were to try to do and were openly caught doing, would be under the gun. But here we are. I do not like AI generated art, I do not support it, I do not recognize it as a legitimate media for the purpose of creating art. But I won't purge my gallery because AI data collection is a thing. Chances are in one way or another some work I've done is already part of the collection, and legally as things stand now, there's nothing I can do about it. But I can continue to create with my own two hands, actively speak out against AI generated lies, and carry on. I am curious to know what others think on the subject though so feel free to air grievances ( appropriately and sanely of course ), or if you disagree calmly explain your views.

Just a heads up, I'll be cleaning up my DA quite a bit, removing old old work. Most of you won't notice because most of the work heading to the dump are from 2006-2009, but also some not so old work as well. This is mostly due to the 'recommended' side bar that way too often suggests a lot of garbage work from ages long past that do not represent what my work is about, even Scraps end up being suggested on normal gallery pieces and that's absolutely ridiculous. I personally have no problem is looking back on old work for a painful cringe or two as a reminder of the progress that's been made, but it's not very good for presentation to viewers who happen on a drawing and then the recommended side bar suggests garbage old work for them to browse. yikes.

Farewell old 13 year old avatar that was only ever a badly rezzed screenshot of a random background reploid from a game cutscene. I'm ready for something new. Something better. Something completely not different at all. 

RIP Old avatar. 13-14 years has been a good run.

Username update

1 min read
In case things get confusing, I've been meaning to change my DA username for years but only just now got to it. Username formerly known as Starwolftsuname, yay middle school stupidity. Wickydolly is the name I've adopted for my artist blogs, be it Tumblr, Instagram or anything I join. So don't be a feared by the change. I basically paid 15 dollars for a username change. Well.
