@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Thank you, I appreciate that. I understand your perspective, and I think we simply grew up with different views on art. Since I’m an artist here myself, this issue naturally feels more personal to me. 😊💗
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys I understand that’s your personal definition of art. I simply see digital art differently. For me, digital tools are still tools, just like brushes and other traditional materials. What matters is how they’re used and what is being presented to the customer.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys I understand your point. I just wanted to explain why this particular case matters to people here. Different communities can have different standards, and this is how the Thai art community generally views it. You don’t have to agree with it, of course. 😊
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Anyway, it’s 3 a.m. here in Thailand, and I need to take care of my sick cat in the morning, or I’ll completely wreck my health. I hope you have a good night. I’m not sure if any of this has upset you, but I’m just trying to explain what’s actually happening here. Good night. 🥹
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Because art is something people feel deeply connected to. They love, respect, and find meaning in it, and that’s why things like this happen. People love art, but they also care about the artists behind it.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys I understand. Tools like 3D models or brushes are fine here. Once there’s a standard, there’s also a line between what’s acceptable and what isn’t. Either way, I see AI clients and traditional art clients as two different markets.🤧
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys I understand you, but this is a widely accepted standard here as well. Artists commonly share speedpaints, drawing livestreams, or even sit in Discord while drawing. What I mean is that many people are afraid to give up on their dreams because of things like this.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys I understand the photobashing technique. What I mean is that this is the artwork the client received after paying for it because she said it was made without AI.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys She also took a large amount of money from many clients without completing or delivering their work. The total amount involved is actually much larger than the money involved in the AI or copyright issues.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Oh, it’s actually an image layered over another image. There was a version before she moved the layers, before they were covered. This is that image.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys In Thailand, there have been other cases where original artists spoke out about their work being used. Clients, followers, and affected artists all have the right to be upset about the dishonesty and her actions.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys The problem is that she disappeared, claiming she couldn’t afford to issue refunds. Meanwhile, her clients can’t use the artwork for their novels because of the copyright issues surrounding the images.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Of course, her followers and clients have every right to be upset. She claimed her work was 100% AI-free and was openly against AI use, so people felt misled. Everyone has the right to be unhappy about that.😊
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys n Actually, tracing, collage, or similar practices can be accepted here when the work isn’t sold or falsely claimed as entirely original. Giving credit to the original creator is generally standard practice in our community.
@DorisKluin@r07th@ismejoys Collage using properly sourced free or purchased assets is also accepted here. What isn’t accepted is taking someone else’s work without permission and presenting it as your own.
