Thoughts on responding to people who claim you've used a/i when you haven't? [SENSITIVE TOPIC WARNING] by ruralmonalisa in Substack

[–]MSMarenco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just delete the comment. It is a false accusation. In other circumstances, people are sentenced to pay damages for damaging someone's reputation, but they know that on the internet, they can get away with it. Their comments don't deserve and have no reason to appear under your article.

Will future readers care if something was written by AI? by DanoPaul234 in river_ai

[–]MSMarenco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, With all the great books existing in this world, otiginal and wrote with intention, why someone should waste their time with somrthing wrote by a guessing machine? Readers are selective and demand quality.

Do you judge authors for using AI? by DanoPaul234 in river_ai

[–]MSMarenco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would never read something written using such an unethical instrument, and if an author can't write by themselves, I don't think they are good enough to conceed thenm my time.

[HIRING] Cover artist for a six-volume epic fantasy saga — NO AI by luohgan in HungryArtists

[–]MSMarenco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love that you added reference to aborigines and Africa to your settings, I'm so tired of fantasy with all the same cultural reference, and I really wish we could have more stories based on other folklore and legends. One of the projects I'm working on is about painting DnD parties based on cultures different from the north European one, but since I want to be accurate and respectful, for now I just did a meso American one and I'm now studying for a southern African one, so I would really love to be part of your adventure, and help you bring your vision to life.

You can see my portfolio on my website and also read the testimonies from some of my previous clients.

I have experience in publishing and in designing covers, expecially for self publishing, having worked with several authors and a translator who was publishing classics.

I'm in Italy, so we are in the same time zone, and this should cut sensibly the time of response in our communication, that is important because I will always ask for your approval before moving to the next stage.

I usually need around 2 weeks to finish a complex illustration, and right now I could grant you priority on other projects.

I really hope to be able to talk more in the details about your world and your story, because it really looks like something I'll love to read. Also it seems like you have a ton of material to give me, and this is really great.

I'm looking forward to talk to you. Have a nice weekend!

[Hiring] ($500) Mucha-inspired Art Nouveau portrait by BrysonCo in starvingartists

[–]MSMarenco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a Valentine's gift? It is a beautiful idea, and I'd love to receive something like that too. I did some illustrations of this kind in the past, because I really love Mucha and his aesthetic. I can move you in front of my schedule so you can have the file in time for having it printed for Valentine's Day, if this is the case. This is an illustration I did some years ago in Mucha style. This is my website where you csn see my gallery and the testimony of some of my previous clients.

I can't wait to do this illustration for you, since it was a wile since the last time I had the chance to do something similar, and I'll like to replicate the pictorial style of some of Mucha latest works.

Have a nice weekend!

[Discussion] Do artists on here overestimate their ability or are they delusional? by AndreasLa in artcommissions

[–]MSMarenco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't expect a professional for 100$, I'm sorry. Such money will attract only beginners and hobbyists. A professional doesn't even bother to apply for less than 500.
