Updating my sheet since it's almost a year now and I added two more services since then (!) I thought it would also be nice to have a guide on the workflow so everything's pretty clear on the client's side

Cara needs your help. We have been scraped a third time. This is now a targeted attack meant to cause artists pain.
Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to respond. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable.
We're taking action. 1/
@Eduardobob6@Jonny337799 Your logic is a closed loop. That's what OP meant by circular, since you consider that no types of argument would change your belief. Idt you have a right to call them a failure when OP is self destructing in order to improve on art. More effort ≠ result in a toxic environment
Something that breaks my heart when it comes to the fight against AI in various circles is the complete lack of solidarity.
I see artists saying that AI is terrible for art, but fine for writing. Writers who think it's fine for art. Both think it's fine for programming.
I offer my sincere condolences and support for the effort you've put into the art community. Take care of yourself well because you're carrying the weight of the things that most artists don't do. For the small ones, all we can do is hide our art from the scrapers.
What the hell must I do?
Artists just want a place online where platforms don't feed their work to AI. So I built Cara. But people just won't leave us alone.
The laws don't help us, the governments don't help us. What are artists supposed to do exactly? 1/
On that note, I'm glad I have people to rely on. Therapy options will be considered- I'm saving up for it, but I don't know when I have enough funds for that
I just realized why my mental health is horrible. Too human and vulnerable to be socially performing about how I "worked hard" and "got success", while hiding the amount of despair I have. If I suffer, I have to package it nicely and tell you guys the lesson I learned
Even like, now I think I get where u need texture and when to render (a.k.a when to blur, airbrush/when to intentionally add things on top) but that is so so subtle and these decisions are def not easy
$10 Gamblin Winner Reward [07/2026] for @river_gnome_
Done! Since the character's very gritty, I decided to work on the same way that fantasy illustrators normally do. Next reward might not be in this particular style, like it really depends-
