Story Time

My work you fucking ripped: x , x , x , x

so you likely pay something like $3 to $7 a month to use a machine to absolutely neuter my art. Which is crazy when learning to draw can be as little as FREE in this day and age. Like don't you want to use that money for a netflix subscription? Or better yet, just chucking those dollars in the trashcan?

ok sorry, so here's the price breakdown for use of my art in your ai shit from an ass:

Match the subscription fee. You at least owe me however much this is, let's just put it at $5 for our sake here

For my time. So these were fairly quick draws for me! I'll give you some hope in setting that at about $30

Electricity Cost. Ai is hefty and needs to use up a local or energy resources to run! Something to the detriment of our planet even (will get into that next) but for the cost of energy well. I can't calculate an exact number based on how much energy it took to give you like a few pithy likes on posts no one sees or cares about—so I'll just round up and say $300

Environmental cost. Hey bud, you're the one that decided to support something that not only takes up a lot of energy but also takes a lot of water resources too. Only fair that the water bill paid is somewhere in the ballpark of $500

Back to me, license use. Because you could have commissioned me while I was open or wait for me to open to get a very unique piece of art specifically made just for you! Or, you could have just looked at my art for free and done nothing about it (but here we are). So if you're wanting usage rights, then you gotta pay me $800

Violation of my terms and conditions regarding ai. I never wanted my art to be pumped through the soulless machine that turns everything into the uninspired stolen slop. I stand against ai in regards of what environmental disruptions it plays and to how damaging it is to artists and creatives as a whole. So for that, I'd appreciate about another $800

Okay so take that total... and times it by 63. Why 63? Because I can identify clearly 7 uses of my artwork in your generations, then because these likely took more than one generation attempt at a time because you don't just get the result you want after one pass, these took some patience to "refine". Even if there's a flaw with the hands in the last one (dude you couldn't even clean that up? oh yeah cause the machine would have mangled it worse huh) I'd wager each took what, 4-8 attempts? I'll account for like one more higher and go 9, so 9x7=63

So 63*x amount from above =

$153,405

oof, big number, damn did I do the math right? Hm. Yeah. I did. Well don't worry, because I'm willing to take install payments of only $12,783.75 a month for one year to pay it back, or get on a two year program and pay me $6,391.88 a month!

So yeah June is close to ending, I better get that $6k to start off this long long life journey of being compensated for some silly little mpreg drawings.

What happens when you're irrationally afraid of your roommate/best friend's reaction to your pregnancy? Don't tell him until your water has broken and hope for the best.

Turns out said best friend has been insanely worried about you and just aches for the time and comfort you used to have together.

A bunch of really nice children's Christmas list is a big family, hence more siblings. They don't understand how Santa's magic works, so they all go to sleep on the 24th thinking they'll wake up to their parents having a big announcement soon.

They don't expect the quiet thud of a gravid man, waddling towards their chimney with no red sack on his back, rather sported a large red middle and pulling his red robes down over his dripping wet crotch, panting as he tries to get into the chimney. Getting through is especially difficult when his waters have already broken, but he only drops down in the chimney to the parents of the children conversing about how they're supposed to give their children siblings after seeing their Christmas list. The parents turn to see Santa, gravid and drenched in the crotch, staring wide-eyed at them before his eyes roll up and a visible bulge push against his tight red tights.

What were they supposed to do? Leave Santa there? No, they had to physically pull him out the chimney and pull off his tights to help him deliver the siblings their own children wished for. They thought this stuff were the storks' job, but they wondered if Santa and his elves might have been the storks all this time and only decided to do Christmas that one day every year.

"Do you want a baby?"

"Yes"

"I'll give you one"
