New updates: emotes and AI
10 months ago
General
Two things of note:
1: The emotes for the Nogitsune have been finished, so yay! These will be uploaded right after I'm done this journal entry.
2: The main page information has been updated to specify that the contracts with the various artists who have drawn stuff for Saorsa do NOT include provisions for creating AI art from them. This hasn't been asked about, and while I personally can't legally enforce such, I want it to be clear that the artists themselves actually can if they find someone using their art for scraping AI data from. Please be respectful to the artists and ask them directly if you want to do this, and respect their answers. This is not something that I'm interested in doing, so it hasn't come up with my conversations with any of them as I see no real point in trying to create AI art of the Saorsian species. I would much rather all official Saorsa artwork to be made with intent rather than sorta vaguely directing the AI to make something which somewhat resembles such. The artists I use are vastly better than what AI can produce, and I'd rather support/pay them for making such, even if it's more expensive to do so. I'm not willing to cut corners and skimp on quality for Saorsa just because it's cheaper as a general rule. So if you want to ask the artists, go ahead, but I have no real interest in doing so.
The only other thing to mention is the medication changes have been going well, there have been a few hiccups along the way, but I'm in much better shape than I have been, and there will (probably) be new artwork in the (supposedly) near future. My health has been being awful about this though, and throwing surprise complications routinely, so don't hold me to that. The main reason this emote set got done was I'd written up the request descriptions for them ages ago so didn't have to do so in my current state.
Anyway, I need to get these emotes uploaded, which will take a bit of time to tag them properly, so going to go do that now!
