For sure!
Nothing wrong with AI for prototyping, but I just don’t want to use them in my projects. I support artists like you for the work you do. Thanks!
Thank you for supporting artists! Commissions have significantly reduced after the wave of AI, but I'm still thankful for the technology though. I use it as reference, or for specific character design ideas. I guess other artists integrate AI into their workflow as well to speed things up. I see it more as a tool, and not a total replacement for artists. :)
