No. AI doesn’t innovate art. AI does not help artists. AI is not a substitute to make art. Knowledge, skill, patience, and love make art. AI is a parasite. And just like all parasites, It needs to be killed.

My favorite page in Chapter 4, and this one wasn’t even in the script, but I realized that… Viktor is a father who loves his daughter more than anything else, and blaming and questioning her while she’s in an emotional state is what a loving father would never do. #firecatcher #manga #art

Like father, like daughter 🖤 #firecatcher

After the debacle, Lucy is comforted by her father and is forced to tell what she saw in the fields. Rather than alarm and fear, Victor expresses a strange comfort with the fact that the Empire’s arrival is imminent… Firecatcher Chapter 4 final sneak peek is now available for Ko-Fi supporters ☕️

Fuck Queer-baiting! Confirm your characters’ sexuality!

February Week 4: Young love 🖤🤍 Before he was Emperor, Arkus loved Marius for his cleverness, honesty, and passion in social justice. The reason for their separation, only they know the exact answer. Also, casually revealing Arkus is canonically bi 🩷 #manga #oc #ocship #yaoi

Anuli’s special ability is Shadow Manipulation. Wherever there are shadows, she can take even a fraction of it to form whatever she wills, making it a very versatile and powerful ability. #art #manga #oc #ocph #comic

New Year’s resolutions are stupid and so am I, so here’s my 2026 resolution 🙏

In 2025, I focused on refining my skills in character design and drawing attractive characters. In 2026, I’d like to try more exciting stuff like action, movement, and creative, visual storytelling!

I’ve noticed a pattern from those who dislike BlueSky… 🤔
