FurAffinity’s policies appear to prohibit this artwork from being posted here, as it has now been removed, and they sent me a note about having done so.

(Note: Per FA’s policies, I am not permitted to link to the removed image on any of my other art accounts on other sites, so if you want to know what was removed, you’ll have to find it yourself.)

The background, as I freely noted in the description, is indeed a small piece of an AI-generated image, carefully generated and regenerated on my computer using Stable Diffusion, and cropped, bent, and tweaked until it fit my desired mood. I spent about twenty minutes producing the background, then followed by eight hours drawing and coloring the actual scene on top of it.

As FurAffinity’s policy seems to be a zero-tolerance policy on even a pixel of AI-generated content, it is within their right to remove it, and I will refrain from posting anything similar in the future.

However, if you follow my art, you may wish to be aware that as I enjoyed using this technique to produce a fitting background to draw on, this policy may result in a reduction of my future content here. I have a few works in progress that use a similar background technique that will no longer be posted on FA, and will be located on other sites instead.

It is FA’s choice as to the policies for their site, and I will voluntarily comply with their choices to keep my account in good standing; but, in effect, this does mean that if you don’t see me post on FA for some months or years in the future, you may wish to check for my work on other sites with different policies instead.

I created a Discord Server. I've debated setting it up for some time, and now it finally exists.

It's where you can go to chat about my art, to see art you might not see on DeviantArt, to talk to me more directly than on DeviantArt, to share your wild fan theories about Day Two, share your own art where I'll definitely see it, and more!

It's open to all, and I've also set up special sections in it for my Patrons. Feel free to join!

The Phantom Inker's Server

I'm drawing tonight. Prolly snakegirls, because... I don't know why. Muse is being very Musey today.

Drop by and watch, or don't, whatever.

I have a Patreon now! If you're willing to throw a few bucks in, you can now see my works-in-progress, alternate versions, special wallpaper versions, early access to Day Two, and you can even score an elusive commission from me!

The finished versions of my work will always still appear here on deviantART or on FurAffinity or on phantom-inker.com — I'm not going away, and I'm not putting all my art behind a paywall either. Patreon donors will have exclusive access to behind-the-scenes and advance content: Everyone else will have to wait for the finished versions or hope to catch some of it on my Picarto streams. So if you want to see neat bonus material, or you're itching to see sketches that have never appeared on dA, head on over to Patreon and throw in a few bucks. I promise I'll make it worth your effort if you're willing to donate!

Big thanks in advance for any support you're willing to offer, and I'd like to still thank all of you for all the many +watches and +favs over the years.

Woo, it's that time again, and we're working on a brand-new picture of a pretty winged centaur girl for the next few hours. The linework was done this afternoon, so tonight, I'll be doing flat colors and maybe a little shading on her.

Want to see her in higher resolution? You'll have to visit the stream! https://picarto.tv/phantominker

I'm on Picarto tonight, continuing the coloring on this picture, which my wife really really likes:

Hey, wanna watch me draw? I'm on Picarto tonight, if you do. Gonna be working on this picture, which my wife really really likes:

Medicine Woman

https://picarto.tv/phantominker

Feel free to drop by and watch!

Like girls? Like girls who are also centaurs? I do too, and I'll be drawing that tonight live on Picarto. Feel free to drop by and watch!

https://picarto.tv/phantominker

Tonight, I'm going to be drawing and streaming, starting at 9 PM EST. Gonna probably be coloring existing drawings, likely centaurs.

Feel free to drop by and watch!

https://picarto.tv/phantominker

Streaming starts at 8:45 PM (Eastern Time, USA). Gonna be drawing (what else) centaurs, because I am indeed a broken record.

Feel free to drop by and watch!

https://picarto.tv/phantominker

Seems to be spider and scorpion girls this time.

"Dangerous Women" indeed.

Feel free to watch, if that's your kind of thing.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Not sure what it's gonna be. Bear in mind that whatever it is, it's likely to (as Cartman said) warp your fragile little mind.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

My muse woke me up wanting me to draw elephant-taurs or rhino-taurs or dino-taurs, or, failing that, driders. So I dunno what I'm drawing this morning, but it's gonna be weird. Feel free to watch.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

I'm drawing cecaelia (octopus girls!) right now on Picarto, because my muse says so.

Also, I'm injured, so I'm not moving far from the keyboard without effort, so I may be drawing for a while.

Feel free to watch!

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

...for the next couple of hours. https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

So this is advance notification for tomorrow: Tomorrow morning (early!) I'm going to draw and stream, whatever my muse insists on (probably centaurs). It'll be between 7 AM and 9 AM US Eastern Time, so if you're up then, feel free to drop by and watch on Picarto.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Muse says so.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

...and they'll be <em>doin' it</em>. I don't draw that often, but I be in a mood. You'll need an account or somethin' on Picarto to see it, I think. Watch at yer own risk. Might break yer brain, or somethin'. The drawing session goes until about 9 AM this morning.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Octopus girls ain't to everybody's tastes, but my muse is insisting that girls plus tentacles is somehow a really great combination. No, I don't know either. So, anyway, continuing work on "The Orb" tonight. Previous work looked like this:

Feel free to watch, if you're around. And if you aren't around, then don't :)

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Continued work on Clash!

Feel free to drop by and watch! https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Iiiiiit's centaur-drawing time! Because horse-girls are awesome!

Feel free to watch on Picarto. No guarantees on duration. https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Feel free to watch while I'm drawing. https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Same scorpion girl, or maybe an elephant girl. Heck if I know. My muse is weird this weekend.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Until about 9:30 AM EST, give or take. Why? My muse is weird. I dunno. New pictures, though, so feel free to drop by and watch!

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....h=phantominker

Watch or don't. S'up to you.
