official commission post

I'm pretty open to drawing most things, but I will not draw:

  • Underage
  • Anything hateful towards a marginalized group such as but not limited to: women, the LGBT+ community, disabled people, people of color, Jewish peoples, Muslims, etc.
  • Mecha without extensive reference
  • R*pe
  • No real-person nsfw fanart of a celebrity/politician/influencer/youtuber/another site member, etc. (it's different if you have permission, or it's of your partner or yourself, though)

Basic prices:

  • Colorless sketches are around $10-$15
  • Colored sketches are $15-25
  • Lined artwork, no color is $25-$50
  • Lined artwork, with flat color is $40-$80
  • Lined artwork, with shaded colors is $60-$100
  • Digital Paintings are $80-$120

All artwork will be digital, unless traditional media is requested.

Price depends on number of bodies involved, details wanted, backgrounds, and deadlines (if any).

You can view examples of my work on this blog or on my website, monikaelma.net

Don't hesitate to ask any questions! Please DM me for a quote, or email me moyazaichik at gmail.com

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

jv answered:

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

  • I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
  • Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
  • A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

Just tested. It’s possible to swap out pictures on already-published posts. So in that case, a solution:

Nightshade your photo posts now.

Even if you don’t post your own art anymore, go back to your old stuff and watermark it.

Do it ASAP, before the deal goes through and the scraping begins.

This will not only protect your art, but has the opportunity to fuck over this deal on a pretty large scale. The more of these posts that are glazed or poisoned, the less valuable this deal becomes for tumblr and midjourney.

Share this with everyone. And i do mean everyone.

Hi, I don't know if you remember Jones from the old drama there was years ago about her transphobic behavior. But she's back online and she's even on TikTok and Twitter pretending to be a Spaniard, which she's openly admitted to her mutuals on her regular accounts.

this is hilarious and really sad tbh but also i'm 27, almost 28, and i'm really too old for this shit

this reeks of self hatred and racism but it's also not my problem. idk if you're just informing me or whatever, but just in case.

but hey, maybe she's been spanish the whole time and pretending to be mexican? which is worse? bahahahaaha

teepublic deactivated my account???? WITHOUT NOTICE??? but my page is still up, like you can still buy MY ARTWORK AND PHOTOGRAPHY but none of the money is going to me???

i looked it up and apparently this is really fucking common with teepublic, they just accept any copyright claim without investigation or evidence and i'm fucking pissed and scared. all these artists had to provide psd and related evidence that the art was theirs, BUT WHOEVER CLAIMED MY ARTWORK APPARENTLY DOESN'T???? fuck off.

i'm tearing my house apart looking for the harddrive with my college psds (i found it but not the cable, i'll buy another in the morning) and my printed artbook--the traditional work is mostly in a sketchbook at work but i'm pissed. i'm really fucking pissed.

trying to solidify my chicanx rep oc, Dolores…..i want her to look enough like Xóchitl (México) to show that they’re related (mother/daughter) but also differently enough to show that they’re, well, two different people.

Looking through phone pics and found the process of this painting I did a few weeks ago. At first, I was working on the top one but then I lost the file 8( then I worked from a Lila Downs ref pic and altered the features as I painted to fit my character’s better.
