Erick-FM

so, as I said some time ago, I'm leaving DA, posting original work, even fanart that I spended hours working on, is no longer compatible with this platform full of AI users provided by the same platform to apropiate our work. I'm slowly deleting my work, If you are interested in my work you can follow me on my instagram. www.instagram.com/erickfmarte

so I have stated that I'm leaving DA, it's not gonna be right away, it has took me a while to build anything here, yet I'm still trying to see what I have built if a have built anything at all. I have followers but I think is mostly people who dont really care much (DA is a sea of art so I get it). If You like my art, and You would like to keep seeing the new things Im doing, go to my instagram.com/erickfmarte or my twitch.tv/erickfm where I'm still uploading things. DA, as they own AI machine, is no longer compatible to me, DA has not being a good place for a while only that now I have come to realize, as an artist, you do get to choose if you support online platforms or not, I left ARTSTATION, Im also leaving DA, so no more new art or updates here.

I've been on DA for 12 years now, its always been hard to stand out, And I never made it, its hard to compit with porn, bad quality art, and now AI generated images (I'm not calling that s*it art). DA now not only allows AI but has its own software to do so, and even thought DA has claimed that You can not feed our art to that AI, it very hipocrit of DA for one hand to have this software and the lenght of gallery of all of us artist for the use of any user. DA is playing bot team and that just does not work. Any kind of exposure on DA to me has never translated in anything else, so I guess this has been good to break that illusion about social media. The moment we graphic artist allowed free exposure made us weak, we gave too much power, weather because of ignorance or need. With all its flaws, music has way more protection, exposure in social media collects money, in an unfare way yes, but it does. We should get the same, we should make AIs developers reponsable for the damage they
