I want to make art but im scared
I've spent almost my entire life identifying as an artist when I was in kindergarten my favorite class was art class and by the time I had graduated high school I explored almost every side of it from ceramic mugs sculptures of naked ladys realistic illustrations of landscaps and abstract paintings I used to make art without caring but now it feels like someone could just come rip it out of my hands and call me insane for caring. for a long time I've really wanted to make a fan comic about H2O... I have a lot of ideas and a general plot outline but this is terrifying.
some of you might not be keeping up with this specific topic but people who use AI to make generated images and conside it as their "art" are getting more and more aggressive recently. a group of artists made a website so that people could share their work and feel safe that it wouldn't be downloaded and uploaded to an AI to train it but unfortunately a group of AI obsessed freaks scraped the entire website and this has been devastating to the community. there is absolutely nowhere safe to share your artwork anymore and it makes me not even fucking want to draw... part of me is still so in love with this project that I put so much planning into and I will continue with creating the comic but I was hoping we could have a discussion about what I'm going to do with it once it's done where can I post it where you guys will see it but it will be safe :(
