DeviantArt has a HUGE AI art problem!
Strange how this is the first journal I make in months, but whatever.
Ever since DA Introduced DreamUp, their AI art-generator, I've been seeing AI-generated art pieces everywhere! It's very easy to tell them apart from real art but sometimes it gets a bit tricky.
Still though, the worst part about all of this is how these "AI artists" put a monthly subscription on their deviations and its so exploitable! I know the staff won't do ANYTHING to put an end to this but if you read this please help the art community by purging AI artists off this site, its reputation wasn't always the greatest, I know but when the official staff introduces an AI art tool which uses stolen art and everyone can exploit and make easy money out of that's when this site really fell into the abyss to me!
I've reached 100 followers!!!!
I never thought I'd reach this number of followers on my DA after five years of posting art here, sure it might have taken some time but I'm not complaining because through that time I managed to improve a lot in the way I draw and I'm just so happy with what I have!
I'll make sure to still keep on drawing!! For me and for everyone!
I've been thinking of something...
Do you remember that manga I tried to make like 4 years ago The Legacy of Heart? I quit making it because I became so disinterested and became really busy in life. However I still thought about bringing it back at some point after entering university and studying graphic design so here I am! I've wanted to let's say "re-imagine" the introduction to make it more exciting and intriguing. I'm starting with something lighter during developement, I'm also learning about writing and it's helping me quite a lot, not to mention that everytime I got to sleep I always brainstorm with ideas and think about how the story might play out. Thus I write my ideas and concepts on a small notebook and stuff.
Why am I becoming abscent on DeviantArt?
It has been a very long time since I wrote a journal about my actual state in DeviantArt, so I'm writing this new journal on my birthday to let you know.
The Legacy of Heart, the manga I have been so long working on has been on a frequently temporary state of hiatus (Hiatus means when a show, videogame, comic, anime or manga has entered to a pause state where the developers need to take a break from their work) because of other important things such as school (Which is very important), my family, obligations, and most of the time, procrastination (Mostly because most of the time I use to watch silly Youtube videos when I get bored).
So, again, sorry for disappointing you good people from DeviantArt (again), but personal obligations are first, then after I get done with school this month I promise I will get back from my manga hiatus and see if I finish it in time for all of you.
So please, be patient.

Ha pasado un muy buen tiempo desde que he escrito una entrada sobre mi estado actual en DeviantArt, por lo que escribo esta nueva entrada para el día de mi cumpleaños para que sepan.
The Legacy of Heart, el manga con el cual he estado trabajando por un largo tiempo ha entrado frecuentemente en un estado de hiatus (Un hiatus es cuando una serie, videojuego, comíc, anime o manga ha entrado en un estado de pausa cuando los trabajadores necesitan tomarse un descanso de todo su trabajo) debido a otras labores importantes como la escuela (La cual es muy importante), mi familia, las obligaciones, y por mucho, el ocio (Mayormente debido a que todo el tiempo suelo ver tonterías en Youtube cuando estoy aburrido).
Así que, de nuevo, lamento decepcionarlos a todos buena gente de DeviantArt (De nuevo), pero los deberes son primero, y después de que termine el semestre para este mes les juro que volveré del hiatus de mi manga y ver si puedo terminarlo a tiempo para todos ustedes.
Por lo que por favor, sean pacientes.

I won't be available for some time...
But worry not, because I'll get to see you sometime.
