#AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms

moonlightmyst"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012 I continue to transition my <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> from <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/deviantart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deviantart</a> to <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Pixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a>. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms</a> such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Fediverse?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/HelloPixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HelloPixelfed</a>. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/GoodbyeDeviantArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodbyeDeviantArt</a>. This is more of a <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/photomanipulation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photomanipulation</a> than a <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/digitalpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalpainting</a> - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/depressing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#depressing</a> months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/dark?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dark</a> days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/alifeworthliving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alifeworthliving</a>). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days. "Suffering should be creative. Should give birth to something good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/digitalart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/death?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#death</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/depression?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#depression</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/mentalhealth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/despair?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#despair</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/sadness?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sadness</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/emotionalart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emotionalart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/medieval?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/womeninart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womeninart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/womenartists?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenartists</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/vultures?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vultures</a> ________ CREDITS: <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Woman?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Woman</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/faestock" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/faestock</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/DeadTree?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeadTree</a> and background - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/the-night-bird/art/Dead-Tree-BG-262525390" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/the-night-bird/art/Dead-Tree-BG-262525390</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Vulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vulture</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/piratelotus-stock/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/piratelotus-stock/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Rats?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rats</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/harpyen/art/rats-147716090" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/harpyen/art/rats-147716090</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Skull?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skull</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/aleuranthropy/art/Skull-Stock-Photo-05-41426441" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/aleuranthropy/art/Skull-Stock-Photo-05-41426441</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Bones?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bones</a> - https://www.deviantart.com/mjranum-stock/art/Bones-2-66682764

However, things have changed over the years - the latest being the implementation of AI. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms</a>. I have been reluctant to share new art there. I can no longer find enjoyment in finding new artists there because the majority of new submissions are AI-generated and flooding the system. It has absolutely destroyed the community for me. Anyhoo, I am grateful for discovering <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Pixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a>. I decided to transfer my art over before I finally decide to <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/deleteDeviantArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deleteDeviantArt</a>. I'd also like to give a home to my older work before posting my new and more recent stuff, so bare with me. This is both a <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/photomanipulation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photomanipulation</a> and <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/digitalpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalpainting</a> I made back in 2014. Its meant to symbolize the magic of spiders and their divine craftsmanship. I love the quote: "Weave your creative threads in the dark, and then when the sun hits them, they will glisten with intricate beauty." (Ted Andrews) This creation was originally inspired by recurring <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/dreams?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dreams</a> of spiders which I interpreted as a reminder to restore balance in my hectic lifestyle, to take control and weave my fate, and reacquaint myself with my <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/creativity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creativity</a> once more. Because even in the most stagnant and darkest times, there is room for inspiration and creativity. <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/GoodbyeDeviantArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodbyeDeviantArt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/helloPixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helloPixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/fediart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/moonlightart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moonlightart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/moonlight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moonlight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/magical?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#magical</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/inthetrees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inthetrees</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/mastoart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastoart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/creativetoots?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creativetoots</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/noaiart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#noaiart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/noai?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#noai</a> ___ CREDITS: Spider - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/candycoatedbullets/art/spider-stock-98182880" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/candycoatedbullets/art/spider-stock-98182880</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Spiderweb?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiderweb</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/cathleentarawhiti/art/Spiderweb-303985882" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/cathleentarawhiti/art/Spiderweb-303985882</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Moth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moth</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/hatestock/art/moths-and-butterflies-stock-5-73251039" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/hatestock/art/moths-and-butterflies-stock-5-73251039</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Leaves?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Leaves</a> - <a href="https://www.textures.com/download/trees-0046/53493" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.textures.com/download/trees-0046/53493</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/Moon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moon</a> - <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/tala-stock/art/Full-Moon-80726496" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/tala-stock/art/Full-Moon-80726496</a>
