Everything I post in Newgrounds is original work drawn by hand; while I'm a mixed media artist in X, I will not post the more AI-heavy works. AI models I have are trained on my art but will still not use them here.

Joining Newgrounds - No AI

Posted by deepvesper - 8 hours ago


ONLY TRADITIONAL WORKS HERE

Will only post 100% traditional works and the occasional 'AI background' post. This is but 1% of my output as a mixed media artist and storyteller. I do not condone or antagonize new tech; I'm too old. I was in my 20s when the iPhone came out and lived through the 'digital art' aint art moment in history when I bought an intuos 4 (which is the best intuos ever, btw), i owned some of the first wacom tablets.


NO AI ART IN NEWGROUNDS; only 1% of my work is posted here!


DISCLAIMER FOR OTHER ACCOUNTS ONLINE

My X accounts have mixed media that includes latent space assistance!

But AI models in X are 'trained' more like finetuned, with my own art. I will still not post those; keep in mind.

I do not press 'generate art' (for X/Twitter works).

Canny (Sketch to works), OpenPose (pose refinement), Latent-Space-generated img2img (ai aproximation), profile transfers(styling), processes, I do not PRESS GENERATE; I will sketch, refine, draw, and correct. Hoping that AI tooling is accepted as assistance in the TOS i have a lot of works that would clasify as only enchanced.


Do I have other accounts? (non gooner+non AI works)

In fact, this is only my gooner fetish mixed media account; I do actual art that nobody cares about with no sexualized themes. This has become a side hustle, as I have a lot of Patreons now. Who would have known? If people ever stop condemning AI, when that day comes sure I will post that too, mostly monsters and fantasy girls with cute creepy stuff, it never got likes maybe not good enough regardless!

Hi, welcome to NG, I hope you will have a nice experience here.
I am glad that you are honest about AI backgrounds and as art guideline rules state if you are primarily showcasing your character art but use an AI-generated background you are fine. In these cases, please note any elements where AI was used so that it is clear to users and moderators. This way you can avoid being your art flagged improperly with the risk of having your works taken down.

Besides this, have fun and again welcome to this creative family!

Thank you, Shang! Been trying to leave X for the longest time, sad I can't post most of my work. I don't know where the line is. ControlNet Canny tools only do painting, which is what I do in X. The pieces posted here are painted by hand, with photoshop and clip studio having more and more tools I hope the line can move ever so slightly towards allowing mixed media to use more tools. Weird tangent If I post a sketch, its like next to my polished works!?

@deepvesper You are welcome. I think that when joining a website the most important thing is reading rules of what can be posted and what not. Here not even photos are allowed to be posted in your personal gallery, only in your blogs. I don't know that tool you mentioned (ControlNet Canny). But you can even make art from scratch that is inspired by an AI piece like these two which are really beautiful:

To answer your question about sketches, yes you can post them in your gallery but remember to uncheck the mark on "This is not a sketch, include in the Art Portal." wen you are about to upload a piece because the Art Portal, whether you are scouted or not, is for finished works. Sketches can be also uploaded in blogs too if you want to show sneak peek or WIPs.

Thanks! I made sure to read the TOS before joining. I will not post ControlNet-assisted posts. I only have a few pieces that are not AI-assisted in my X account; maybe I will open my "real" art account on the side, hoping I'm not doxxed. Will wait a few months... This is only gooner art for freaks like me. Again, thanks for the warm welcome; I've usually been ignored or immediately hated.

@deepvesper No problem^^ I really appreciated your honesty since I sadly saw people posting blatant ai-generated images without even stating that in their descriptions. If you want to create something with AI where AI is fully supported DA is a site that fits the role, maybe with another account but again I welcome you here^^ don't hesitate to ask even in forum threads (read forum rules and use the search bar at the top of the page to see if other users have already asked the same question). Enjoy your stay!

p.s. I remember the time where digital art was hated on DA because "not real art".

I have 15k followers and a lot of haters. Be covered in vitriol in the level I am for as long as I have a simple hi makes a huge difference.
