@F0XnR0LL ngl, i do fanarts cus I want to impress artists that inspire me in some way haha, also because I know it's nice to receive them of your oc that you cherish
I won't lie, I train MANY styles on MANY artists.
That may completely shift your view of me, but I would be lying if I tried to hide it.
I release most of them publicly for people to use, too.
The way I see it, a commissioner is commissioning an artist because they want a piece of art from that artist. They want to support that artist. They hold value in the artist themselves.
Anyone who uses my AI knock offs wasn't going to be a paying commissioner in the first place. But I always link to the original artist, I always try to include links to their Patreons, Ko-Fis and other support platforms on the off chance someone likes what the AI version can do and decides they want to support the real artist.
