Updates concerning irl and art careers.

Good news and bad news everyone.
Bad news is that the company I work under is using generative AI instead of an actual artist. I obviously find it morally wrong and let myself be known. I was then reassured that it would no longer be used, only to end up being lied to. I'm hurt, i'm devastated. It was the best irl job I could have asked for. As of right now i'm still there, but will likely be putting in a two weeks soon as to not screw over the co workers I care for.
I want to take a moment and thank my current commissioners for being understanding and patient. As many of my friends and previous commissioners know my turnaround is usually much faster than it's been. These irl issues have been taxing so I do apologize and appreciate everyone.
Once i'm settled in to full time art expect a lot of nice stuff! My upload rate and comm turnaround should be much faster. Also I'll be setting up a Patreon or SubscribeStar to post exclusive/early art, monthly votes and raffles, and more! ^^
So basically, good news for all of you! My friends and watchers will get more of myself and my content. Thanks for reading, I love you all and this community that values effort.

Plus, might be worth it to push a little harder at least, share your concerns with coworkers, etc. If it's a job you really like, might as well fight for it if you're thinking about quitting anyway.
It is an amazing job but I don't think I will get my main co workers to care or understand fully. It's not an artistic/creativity job even though I can use those skills a lot. I love what im doing at a local level, but the higher ups above that lied to my face, and I hate that i'll have to look at AI slop and accept it as a mascot. Especially as I wrote my concerns to them and was reassured only for them to turn around and not change a damn thing.
Thank you for your concern I know how things are rn and I've struggled a lot of my life. Luckily I know my boyfriend and I will be fine if I have to make that tough decision and cut the line.
Luckily I only have to make 200 a week to survive rn, and I know I could do that focusing on art/animation full time.
