Peter & Whitney: peterandwhitney.bsky.social

For the first time in, I think... ever?... I'm actually opening my doors for commissions from Twitter and Bluesky! I've previously only taken them from my Discord community, but I have more room for slots now. Send me a DM if you'd like to order one! #furryart #commissions

@PeterandWhitney 🤔 isn't it funny how anti ai is always 18+ ai porn bad but porn is good are you a retard lol animals don't need boobs 😂

This one's for all the AI prompt jockeys I had to block after my latest series of posts on here. Y'all aren't artists; stop trying to cosplay as one. Pull up your big boy pants and pick up a pencil if you want to be an artist so badly. My 7-y/o daughter can do it, so can you.

@iamawi1dcard @SunsetBriz HAHAHA omg. Well there's an image I will save for later use. 🤣🤣 And that's so cool! I'm honored that I was able to be an influence for you over the years. I'll have to check out your work sometime if you post it online, I'd love to see it!

@PeterandWhitney @SunsetBriz Oh I 100% draw for self-indulgence. Only reason I started drawing again was to illustrate my writing. Turns out, I forgot I loved drawing. Also turns out the things you consume come back sooner or later. My rabbit OC exists in part because of Persephone.

I'm opening a thread explaining this situation; someone cloned my style with AI....yeah.

@MeiLinjade2117 Also, I HAVE been working the entire time I've been talking in here tonight. Finished several commission sketches and working on the pencils for the next page of my comic. I appreciate your concern of how I spend my free time, though. Hope this lessens your worry.

@PeterandWhitney Parabéns ela ainda tem tempo para pode pratica e manter a prática,e na boa para min voce nao e um artista , por que um de verdade estaria desenho trabalho neste momento, nao ficando e treta de Internet

@MeiLinjade2117 So you think a "real artist" isn't allowed to engage with people online, even when discussing an issue that directly impacts/threatens the work I've been doing for almost 30 years now? I'm only allowed to spend every moment of every day cranking out new artwork? Okay then. 👍

@iamawi1dcard @SunsetBriz I sincerely hope you NEVER have to deal with it. And I hope your art takes you far, with wherever you're hoping to go with it. 😊 What I always tell people starting out: just draw what you love *because you love it,* first and foremost. Don't worry about getting views at first.

@PeterandWhitney @SunsetBriz I think a social campaign similar to the NFT hate would also go a long way. Unfortunately, AI feeds on human greed, and fuels it in return, so it's a whole new beast altogether. I'm lucky I'm a new artist. I likely won't have to deal with this shit for years.

@iamawi1dcard @SunsetBriz Aw, thank you so much! 😊 I have no doubts this won't be the only time I have to deal with this, though. It's both annoying and scary how advanced GenAI has grown. It needs to be regulated into the ground or banned outright.

@PeterandWhitney @SunsetBriz I looked into it. Glad they ended up eating shit in the end. Love your comics btw.

@WW92030 HAHA well I have no idea what the text translates to, but I always approve of anyone doing traditional pencil sketches! 👍

@PeterandWhitney (POW test) This is a human made work so please sing your praises.

@Ryan247a Okay there, Mr. Mackey. 🤣 Also, my "pfp lady" is my wife, and she loves how I draw her. So. Maybe stay offline if you're so offended by boobs.

@PeterandWhitney Why is there a pair of breast on a table also porn is bad you cry about AI porn but not porn your pfp lady

@Ryan247a Nope, wrong. AI doesn't LEARN anything, since it's not intelligent. It's nothing but a system of indexed terms and tagged imagery. Its "training" is just an expanding pool of millions of labeled images. It's soulless slop. AI doesn't know a pair of breasts from a kitchen table.

@PeterandWhitney Lol then AI art is art 😂 ai learns from humans

@Ryan247a Lol what? Are you claiming nudity has no place in art? It's literally one of the most popular subjects throughout all of human history. The Venus of Willendorf, one of the oldest known sculptures, is a nude female figure. "Nude drawings aren't art." Dude, get outta here. 🤣

@PeterandWhitney Y'all aren't artist just for nude drawings you can just imagine it instead 😉

@iamawi1dcard @SunsetBriz It would be, if I could afford to file one. The site that hosted it was a popular Hentai reuploading site, and they did absolutely nothing to help, including outright refusing to take the gallery down because "AI is allowed" (even when it's stealing my signature, apparently).

@PeterandWhitney @SunsetBriz That sounds like grounds for a lawsuit.

@marais_tiger Aw! Never tell yourself that, dude. People find the love of their life at any stage. Heck, I didn't meet Whitney until I was almost 30, after I had basically given up and stopped looking. There's someone out there for you. If it can happen for me, it can happen for anyone.

@PeterandWhitney More or less I’ll never have tits in my life

AI slop will never come close to 100% natural hand-drawn boobs. Fuck AI, and fuck e-hentai. #furryart

@marais_tiger Just.... Not sure what you're referring to, here.

@PeterandWhitney For a lack of better terms

@X0yDavy Exactly my point. AI does not *create* a single thing it generates. It can only produce derivative pieces that are essentially a graphical blender of keywords and data points lifted from their training library. An AI model doesn't know a pair of boobs from a dining room table.

@PeterandWhitney If AIs truly had the ability to learn everything independently and consciously, they wouldn't produce identical versions of themselves, as many AI users do; they simply make cheap copies. They don't seek inspiration or think rationally. AIs don't think, they only imitate.

@marais_tiger Cooked? 🤨

@PeterandWhitney AI, drawn, real. Not like it matters when you know you’re cooked…

@NonameApe80085 Aw, certainly! I believe everyone should be given a chance to find a new passion. It's why I always encourage folks to practice drawing traditionally and experiment with different media to find what clicks with them. Just *typing words into a prompt* doesn't give you any of that.

@PeterandWhitney Aye, hence I merely dabble in it for experimentation. I appreciate you talking to me, there are many who wouldn’t provide that courtesy

@clownworld_2022 LOL thank you? I think...? 😅

@PeterandWhitney The least annoying furry artist on the Internet

@NonameApe80085 Not worth adapting to GenAI, it'll be gone within the decade. It's an unsustainable financial bubble and has already reached the limit of its potential. Pencil + paper = infinite potential. There will always be a demand for real artists. AI prompt kiddies will fade away.

@PeterandWhitney I shall endeavor to adapt to both, but only one (hand drawn) can be tailored properly
