As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").
Just so you know...
Art directors, Art enjoyers, Art buyers and Artists talk with each other. Nobody wants AI slop, specially when there is real art out there as an alternative. You can totally get blacklisted, not only on the industry, but inside fandoms for defending AI precarization and theft.

On capitalism’s day of excess we encourage people to support small creators!
I find crowdfunding so awkward but the repository depends upon it! The Ko-Fi and Patreon fund web & hosting costs, photo software, gear rentals, and more.
Any contribution is appreciated.

some other Kryn BGs and kit I did for The Mighty Nein EP1. Really love the other world looking shape language and color. Also In turns of making it feel different from The Legend of Vox Machina, I think this location is especially successful, this is definitely something we won’t do on TLVM

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

But: this project is not funded. It runs entirely on donations.
