AI Art Sucks

And you suck if you like it.
Soulless copycat trash generated by unfeeling computers and untalented, selfish infants. Pursue a talent, you incurious wimps.

Concept art, discounts on commissions/adoptables, and first looks at upcoming art and merch. It's billed only once a month, with a new post every Sunday. Thank you for supporting my work, I wouldn't be able to do what I do without y'all.

If you've been following me for a little bit, I'm sure you're aware of my species. While halfcanters have been very well-loved, and I have no desire to stop working with them, I wanted to make some changes.
(Old on the left, new on the right)
I've renamed the species to Grimynx, and smoothed them out a little bit. My lesser rales (formerly backrunners) have been very well-loved by y'all, and I wanted the grimynx to more accurately reflect that the two species are related. They're still smaller, and less flamboyant in the hood area, but slightly more recognizable as something made by my hand. In addition, now I can experiment more with body shape, silhouette, and size.
And don't worry, I'm keeping them colorful!
About the old design: I do still love the prior, spikier design for these guys. They're fun to draw! And y'all like them too - but I felt they weren't iconic enough, and I've been seeing them get copied, a Lot. I know long dog/cheetah critters are very popular on here, but just because I've been quiet for a while, doesn't mean I'm blind. I obviously don't own the concept of sticking a dog in a taffy machine and giving it a stretch, but seeing people ape my entire concept, almost to a T, is exhausting. I can tell when you're inspired, and I can tell when you're ripping me off. I can see you.
If you have an oldschool grimynx, and want to keep it that way, that is absolutely fine! I am not going to run around demanding everyone switch to the updated version. In fact, as far as I am concerned, oldschool grimynx are just selectively bred to be fancy, long-eared, and elegant - and are very much still canon in the narrative I've created for them.
On the flip side, if you wanna update your grimynx, go right ahead! If it's a design that you're not exactly sure how to adapt, but still wanna, feel free to ask me for help.
I know it's been a bit of a while since I was seriously active on here, but I hope this little wall of text, and little pivot in my work, isn't too annoying. Cheers to you all for a cozy 2020, I'm excited to share more of my creatures and stories with you.
