    This comm hasn’t been welcoming to my stuff in the past, so I’m not sure I have an answer. .ml has a bigger audience than my own comm, and I was banned from .world instance (not comics related) under a different name so I don’t wanna get hit with ban evasion by posting over there. So I just sorta stuck with my own, and .ml just based on comm subscriptions.

    But, I guess, keep it here and see what happens, because I do support people boycotting whatever they want, and sticking to their own values. So carry on I guess. Thanks for the explanation. Last time tho, someone accused me of being you, so it’s kinda tricky and I don’t want any drama.

      Thanks for understanding, yea there’s a few users who defend .ml and like to throw accusations around lmao they think I’m everywhere and everyone apparently

      Sometimes your stuff seems like AI, even I did, but then I saw your post on your method so I dont think it’s AI anymore. now I think your style just unfortunately tends closer to “AI style”. But others might still think it’s AI so that might be why sometimes you don’t get a good reception.

      I’ve been posting here a lot since I stopped posting to .world comms myself and it’s been pretty accepting so far of content as far as the mods go

      There’s also !comics@sh.itjust.works but it’s also on the small side but any frequent enough contribution to even smaller comms helps grow them quickly

        Meh, everyone’s stuff looks AI now, which was the the whole point and goal of AI. It’s not that people’s stuff looks like AI, it’s that AI looks like everyone’s stuff. If Diesel Sweeties came out to day, people would think it’s AI.

        Especially since most of us cartoonists, either create on or finish up on the computer. I sketch my stuff out, then fill out a lot of builds and solids in Photopea cuz I ain’t gonna marker that shit all day. Plus I do a lot of resizing, cut and paste, flipping and clean up, so basically there’s no way to tell any difference between it and ai now.

        I read up on what some other writers and illustrators say about it, and the overwhelming advice is to just ignore. I documented my method in my comm, and now I’m done defending. I’m not even that great of an artist anyway, so that’s why it’s hilarious to me. One guy said my stuff was AI because my drawings are so ugly, and no one would draw that way on purpose!! My gf loved that one. lmao

        People will like or not like what I make, not my problem anymore. If people think they can create comics like mine by simply pushing a button and have AI do it all (good luck with that!), then not much I can do about it. Anyway, thanks for your support and the explanation!
