Nikaido From Dorohedoro! Something A Lil Different From My Usual Stuff Made For Mah Broest Of Bros @kiu22

I’m having fun with photo paper and always wanted to do something with this silly artwork ssssso… again: would anyone be interested? Should i put this on etsy?

Oh there’s much, much, much more than just the zine issue here. That’s just current history, really. However, I was one of the artists who’s art has never been included in the zine (Kino ~forgot~ about them and then implied it was on us because they couldn’t find our emails) and one of those who tried to help them putting the file together before they went radio silence for then quietly proceed to delete everything. So yeah, apart from the teeny tiny detail that stealing from a fucking CHARITY is truly disgusting, I do care about this. We were used and deceived MULTIPLE times. On top of that, people paid for a faulty product that never got fixed. We’re not talking about a hundred bucks- it was 1300+ dollars they pocketed and then claimed to have donated. How anyone could gather the sheer audacity to falsely state they’ve donated to a charity more than once is beyond me. I’ll give them that: they got balls.

I know about a couple of amazing people who are putting together a comprehensive doc as we speak- I’m personally impatiently waiting for it. You won’t believe how LONG the misgivings list goes on. The second you think to yourself “well that must be it-“ BAM something else has to be added. Unbelievable.

Kino has blocked me on every social but last time I’ve heard from them, they accused me of harassing them. Note: I commented one of their idyllic IG stories, asking if they ever got the time to ALSO check on the donation issue. So don’t get fooled. With them, asking for accountability will inevitably always be translated to harassing.

don’t support kinodraws

i never do this kind of thing but i’m so incredibly frustrated at this happening and this person still updating their profiles, including the one they have on tumblr, as if nothing happened (save for twitter since it’s one of the few places this is being actively talked about)

don’t support @kinodraws​ if you don’t want someone with a long history of scamming people to pocket your money!

to summarize this current situation:

they organized an ofmd zine, releasing a copy with missing/wrong credits, missing artists etc while the earnings of this zine were promised to go to charity. the charity has now confirmed there was no donation made on the date or amount they claimed to have made, kino has deleted all of the zine’s profiles and pages, fabricated having donated $1300+ to the charity (we have no receipts of how much the zine actually made so this amount is possibly made up as well) and after promising to fix the zine itself is now ignoring the situation completely

the current situation is better told by people involved and i’ll include a couple threads

here

here

here’s the charity’s response about the donation

they also have a page on artists beware here regarding a past commission scam

it appears they’ve done this in multiple fandoms with multiple names before so i doubt they’ll stop as long as they keep getting away with this

all this said don’t go harrass kino or be an idiot, i wanted to make this post bc stealing, lying about it and expecting to let the situation die down as they move on is something i don’t want to happen again since it seems like that’s happened one too many times already. if you want to work with kino or commission them, please reconsider!

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

NO I’m not DONE with polls sorree. If you’re curious to see how my stickers look like so far here’s my etsy

A couple of details, cause this thingie here is chock-full of plot-related ones... go read the fic and see if you can find any! Can you spot the young Izzy in here? He tiny and angry.

Here’s my piece for the 2022 OFMD Bigbang, based on “Call It Love Or Call It Treason” by @janiedeandean! Had a lot of fun working on this- I always wanted to explore 70s aesthetics! Aaaand I got so good at recognizing my pal’s style I’m 0% surprised I ended up illustrating her fic & honestly YAY ✨🏴‍☠️

Yup yup :B and might I add- a lot of his jewellery has some kind of, uh, meaning (the green eye, the chain, his thumb ring...)

"Do you guys ever think about dying" This is that one Barbie who indeed thought looong and hard about it :)
