Just a small note regarding my gallery here and image quality.
Some may have noticed that the images in my gallery now appear to be more compressed than they used to be.
This is intentional, and everything in my gallery on this site and other sites have been processed with both Glaze, and Nightshade. This was done as a deterrent to anyone looking to feed my work to AI databases. Anyone feeding any of my work from any of my online galleries to AI databases will be inadvertently poisoning their own datasets.
So, that is the reason my galleries appear to be more compressed. I will gladly compromise my own image quality if it means the images in my gallery are unsuitable for AI training.

Nightshade only protects against large model training, not smaller targeted style LORAs.
Unfortunately, heavy use of Glaze and Nightshade mostly just makes images look like crap without adding any effective AI protection.
This.
You know there used to exist music and home video distributers who greatly opposed first digital distribution which took form of piracy. What was their solution? They screwed up their legal customers by bullshit unskippable ant-piracy notifications and region locks. Where are they now? Gone. Now it's digital distribution age.
AI is not going anywhere. This is the reality and instead of accepting it you screw your audience with your bullshit and there aren't many people which will tell you what they really think about this crap.
Don't forget to plaster watermarks all over images and the biggest one in the center.
And "customers"? Are you serious? I'm talking about the FREE images I make available in my gallery. The only thing you've been a "customer" of with my work is the FREE work I made available in my gallery. If you don't pay, you get the lower fidelity version. Simple as that.
The higher fidelity versions are for the original commissioners.
If that's not good enough for you then kindly fuck off.
