A lot of people have been asking me why I still haven't opened my Paypal commissions yet, so I decided to make a journal and answer this question to everyone, instead of leaving you all wondering.
Yep, I should have opened them since...September. I said that, but I still haven't done it. I'll be short and I won't go into much detail, but the main reason is health issues that have been going on for almost a year... It's nothing serious no worries, but it's tiring enough to prevent me from focusing on art as much as I'd like to. And adding this to the pressure of owed and paid art is NOT something I'm willing to try xc
This thing is also affecting my everyday mood and my dA activity (and it's the reason I sometimes don't appear on Skype for days, sorry to those who have me on Skype), so sorry about that too.
I'd love to go to a doctor and know what it is/ how to cure this, but the nearest one is still too far away to go by foot. I'd need someone of the family to drive me there but the problem is no one wants to, because there is worse and I should just deal with it. Know what, I think I'll just end up walking all the way there anyways, if I can't ask any of them for help. Plus I really need to start doing things my way, and not let them decide of my own health.
Sorry if it feels like a rant journal, it's not supposed to I'll just say that I won't officially open commissions until this thing gets better. I should have explained that sooner but yeah... Now it's finally said, and I hope you understand. And DON'T worry about it, it hasn't stopped me from drawing and I sure won't let that happen :3
ShopDreamUp AI ArtDreamUp
Haha dA that's a funny joke
I'm too tired to go in length but basically DA just made every user on its site automatically "opt in" for all of their art to be used for AI "art". If you want to opt out you have to manually edit every. single. piece you have posted on your account. As far as I'm aware that also includes stored art, so hiding your submissions won't make it safe, and all of your currently stored art are also set as "opted in". https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/Create-your-own-AI-generated-art-with-DreamUp-933537821 https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/Tell-AI-Datasets-If-They-Can-t-Use-Your-Content-934500371 More info about how scummy this is in this thread and comments: https://twitter.com/arvalis/status/1591131133647126528 So basically eff dA, you had your chance with the ongoing Twitter fiasco but decided to shoot yourself in the foot. I'll still be here but uploads will be on standby until I am no longer opted in for this AI bullshit. You can find me on these sites, I've

If you saw the commission journal yesterday, I'm sorry but I chose to close it. If you've sent a note regarding a comm request I'll still consider it (for the few who actually read my TOS, thank you to them), but I am not taking any more commissions from DA. No more "comms opening" posts here until I decide otherwise. Slots will still be available on Twitter. I apologise for the decent people but this place causes too much frustration to try. Too many people here do not read despite the "please read this first" , and the same people think there's no need to take the quickest glance at your comm sheet to notice that what they ask for is very innapropriate.
Places to find me
I made a status about it recently but a journal would be more handy for people to find :')
Like I said, Eclipse isn't going to make me leave DA but here's all the places you can find me. I don't always post the same on every site so there's a bit of exclusive stuff everywhere.
- Instagram, lots of doodles: https://www.instagram.com/seasaltshrimp/
- Twitter for a bit of everything, I do post Spyro related art on here on occasions: https://twitter.com/seasaltshrimp
- Youtube for videos/speedpaints: https://www.youtube.com/user/ShrimpMastah
- Picarto for art streams: https://picarto.tv/Shrimp
- Twitch whenever I do gaming streams: https:/
Manipulative user PSA: Spiney-Artz / more added
Edit: Screenshots reuploaded. At least those I could find.
Hey, let's talk about something serious, very important, and sadly extremely common and easy to be a victim of. That thing known as abusive, manipulative people. Warning, this is a long journal.Even online, these people mess with you, completely destroy your mental, AND physical health, without you even realizing it. I and many people within the community sadly had to experience this with one person in particular, Spiney-Artz.
And trust me, I would not be giving out names if I did not deem it necessary. I know what type of reaction this kind of journal could bring. This is not to
