This is important.

Someone figured how to find the sources used training the images made with Stable Diffusion (one of the "machine learning" or "AI" tools used to make "AI pictures").

Share this, lets make it mandatory when posting AI pictures.

It will help dispel some of the myths about machine learning and shine the light on the human artists that make the art we love.

I'm updating the information on commissions.

In general I charge by character, I have a prices for subscribers and non-subscribers:

Color drawings are $70 per character for non-subscribers, $50 for subscribers:

Black and white drawings are $35 per character for non-subscribers, $25 for subscribers:

A few things worth pointing out:

Payment: For now only through Paypal.

Once we agree on the subject I will do a rough sketch and a reasonable number of corrections or changes. Once we agree on the sketch we will use I will ask you to do a full payment and then I will finish.

Communications will be electronically, either through notes here in dA, Discord or email. I will reply as timely as I can and keep you updated on the progress.

All work is digital, once I'm finished I will send you a big file which you can print if you feel so inclined.

All work is for personal use only. If you want to use it commercially the prices can vary.

I'm open minded and willing to draw a lot of stuff, including mature content, but there may be something I'm not comfortable drawing, if you request that kind of things I may decline.

Frequently asked questions:

• What is this subscription and how do I subscribe?

You can subscribe here in dA, or you can do it on my SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/arieldream

• Does it cost the same if I request a full-body, half-body or bust commission?

Yes, I want to keep the price structures simple, and for me the amount of work in different types of commissions is not that different.

• What about a background, do you charge extra for that?

For backgrounds I usually prefer to keep it simple but do what I feel works best. Some times I do a plain or simple thing, but if it fits the scene I can do something more complex. In those cases I don't charge extra. But if you have something specific in mind and it's rather complex I may charge a little more.

• Can I request a drawing with multiple characters?

Certainly, but the price varies depending on the number of characters but you can get a discount depending on the complexity and how many characters there are.

Sample drawings:

• I saw a drawing you made before that I really like, can you reuse it but with the characters I request?

Yes you can, the price depend on the complexity and the number of changes I have to do, but in general you get a discount from a character made from scratch.

Samples:

I also have YCH bases if you want:

• I noticed you made multiple versions of drawings, can I request one of those?

Of course, it costs a little more for each version, and the price depend on the amount of modifications you request. I appreciate if you tell me in advance that you may want to do this but it's something you can request at a later date.

Samples:

• Can you do a black and white drawing first and then convert it to colour?

Yes, if you can't or don't want to invest in a colour drawing right away you can request a black and white one first and upgrade it to colour by paying the difference.

Samples:

• My character exists only in my mind, can you help me designing it?

Yes, if you can provide either detailed description or visual references it will help a lot, specially if you have a very specific vision, but I can work with few references.

• Can we keep this commission private?

Of course, if you don't want me to upload your drawing anywhere online I can do that but it costs extra

• Can you draw in other styles?

Certainly. I have done a few commissions in more realistic styles for example:

• Can you draw me or someone specific based on a photograph?

Yes, it helps if you provide many references and of high quality. I can draw them in my style or in a more realistic style, just let me know what you want.

• Sounds good, when can you start?

I have a waiting list, so ask me to add you. There is no commitment, you can cancel at any time before I start and you don't have to make a payment. But if you want it sooner you can either become a gold subscriber or you can pay extra.

If you have any other questions or you want more specific information send me a note and we can discuss the details without commitment.

So I added a new subscription here on dA, which I think is more convenient for some of you.

I will be adding older stuff that I couldn't show in dA before and that I can only show to subscribers.

You also get the benefits of the copper tier in my SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/arieldream and if you subscribe here I can give you free access to the copper tier there so that you can see my latest submissions as soon as I upload them there. Send me a note after you subscribe here so we can work on that.

Thank you for your attention and I hope this convenience can convince more of you to support me ;)

As you may know I have a subscription here https://www.subscribestar.com/arieldream . I'm posting there my latest stuff and thing I couldn't submit to dA. But it seems dA will allow us to show subscribers things we can't post in the general gallery. From what I read there are still things I wouldn't be able to submit that SubscribeStar has no restrictions.

So I was considering opening a subscription here. I would submit my latest stuff without delay and uncensored content in standard definition for something like $1 or$2 a month. You could get a discount of what you pay here if you subscribe on SubscribeStar and there you would see all my content.

Is that something some of you would be interested?

So I'm joining SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/arieldream so hopefully those that want can help support me.

I will keep uploading my stuff here but there I plan to upload commissioned stuff as soon as it's approved and personal stuff the moment it's done.

And I have other ideas, depending how it goes.
