The recent update of terms of service for X/Twitter is quite concerning. In short, it seems like it would force the user to agree for their posts on X to be used to train their AI model (Grok).

They’ve been doing this for quite a while now, but prior to this change, you can opt out this and forbid your data being used. After the new ToS change, however, it becomes unclear whether that will be an option or not.

With that in mind, I decided to migrate from X to BlueSky. I will still be active on X for a while, but I might not be posting the full piece of my art there anymore. As much as I acknowledge that AI can be beneficial in certain fields, I really don’t like the idea of my data being used for model training without my permission.

Anyway- Here’s the link to my BlueSky account:

Hello there!

As I've mentioned in my previous journal, I will no longer be actively posting arts here on FA due to recent event.
Where will I be posting my arts, then? Well, here's a few place that I'll be active on from now on:

Twitter
Itaku
Weasyl
InkBunny

So uh, yeah. That's pretty much it. Hope to see y'all there!

First of all, I have to make this disclaimer despite it being rather obvious. All the characters involved in my artwork are above age of 18.
White it seems quite a redundant to make that statement, I think it's necessary to express my stance, as the one who draws all those artwork, on how my arts shall be interpreted.

Second, regarding my opinion on this change on policy. I do stand with the intention behind it. We don't want to courage minor exploitation, after all. However, like many artist who already make their stance, I believe that the new rules have serious flaw. Specifically, the term uses to define minor characters.

While using anatomy to define whether a character is minor or not works well for creatures that exist in real life, fanatical creatures, especially Pokemon and Digimon, are where such way of definition can cause some trouble. For example. As all of you might acknowledge, a Pokemon's age doesn't correlated to their stage in evolution lines. Pokemon such as Litten, Shinx, and Poochyena, unless with clear evidences that points out otherwise, are commonly regarded as mature characters. At least that's how I see it after years of interaction within the community.

The recent rules amendment creates potential risk of NSFW artwork featuring those characters to be removed, and the artist that drew those artwork in the first place being suspended or banned. While it's promised that other evidence aside from anatomy features will be considered, hence why I made the disclaimer in the first place, it's not guaranteed to always be the case. As sentient beings, we all have bias, so do those who are put in charge of judging whether characters are mature or not.

Now, what will be my action regarding this change?

Due to how vague things look at the moment, I won't post any arts here until further notice.
While I already make it quite clear in disclaimer, the potential risk of my account being suspended is still there. Just in case, here's my Twitter, where I'll be posting all my arts on for now.

Update (5/21/2023)
As more information surfaces, I will say that concern of various artists are justified. Clearly, there's a rather huge thought gap between the community and the staff responsible for the task of judging whether an art involved minor characters or not.

With that in mind, I've made the decision that unless if there's any positive change regarding the policy, I'll no longer posting any artwork on this site.
It's also likely that at the last week of June, I'll voluntarily disable my FA account.

You'll still be able to find me on Twitter, where I'll be active on from now on.

Yeah, after a long hatius and lack of motivation, I decide to start taking commission.

The price sheet can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

The price there can be a subject to change, depends on complexity of the commission.

For things I'm willing to draw, pretty much most of the things, with the exception being filthy or gross stuffs and gore.

Feel free to DM me on Discord if you're interested!

Just set up my Discord server.

I know it's kind of late, but anyway.

First milestone reached! Great!
Really need to thanks y'all who follow me till this day, y'all amazing!
I wish you have a good day. Oh and, happy lunar new year!

By the way, since I already reached over 100 watchers here, I'm kind of interested about what kind of art do you want to see from me more. So I made a poll for that

https://strawpoll.com/718vqjpux

Eyo. So, as you might notice, I'm very close to reach that first milestone of mine, aka 100 watchers. Have to give a big thank you for everyone following me to this point, can't do this without you. Love y'all. <3

And yes, though I'm quite busy at most of the time, I did plan some sort of special stuffs for this milestone. Stay tuned if you're interested! ^-^

So uh, you see, I didn't upload any arts today. Why? Because I was trying to fix my Ubuntu, it took me a whole day and I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with it.
Like, the graphic driver is somehow corrupted, and my PPPoE connection just simply won't work.
In the end, I just simply uninstall Ubuntu for now, and will reinstall it again when I have time, and using LAN connection. I think the problem is that I was using mobile data tethering when installing Ubuntu, it's quite unstable, ya know?
Anyway, just a small summary and little explanation of lack of art uploaded today, if you're watching this, I thank for your attention, see y'all tomorrow. ^-^
