so there's now a tool to protect digital art from being used to train AI, I recommend checking it out

As you can see, my gallery is back up. I've decided that withdrawing from the community is only going to make the AI issue worse. I want to get involved and make things better, and have been considering ways to do that. Given how much of the recent deviations page is novel AI chub art and poor pregnancy photomanips, I think making a curated group dedicated to preg/belly kink art might be a good idea, one where artists actually putting in the work can get noticed amid the mess. That said, there are already a lot of belly kink groups, so idk. I also think it might be a good idea to put together a sort of yearbook the way the old illustrators guilds did, by which I mean getting a bunch of artists together and putting together a digital book, with each person making a couple original pieces and splitting the proceeds between every artist. I need more time to think, but I'd love to gauge interest.
