Leaving Medi

I just want to start off by saying that I’m so incredibly grateful for all of you. Everyone on here has been so kind and supportive of me on my art journey. However I’m just genuinely disappointed with the direction that medi has taken. Allowing Ai art in competitions in rankings, and a bunch of the original artists who posted here have left. This is something that really bothers me and is just unfair to all of the extremely talented artists who use their site. I’m now posting my art on artfol. It has a huge community of artists and a zero Ai art tolerance. If you are unhappy with the direction medi is going in but don’t want to post on main stream social media I seriously recommend that you try it out. It has similar vibes to the original Da. This is the last time I’m going to post so here’s an art dump. Thank you all so much for your support, and I wish you all the best on your art journey.

Goodbye everyone! 💕

  • > AllieGraceArt Oh ok! :D I'll definitely look into it more

  • > ✨🎄TheFanartFREAK🎄✨ Yea so far it hasn’t been toxic at all! For art thieves they at usually taken care of pretty quickly! I may still pop in on medi from time to time I just won’t be very active anymore.

  • Goodbye then :( (I'm not good at goodbyes oof) But I've been wondering about artfol, is it not very toxic and is there any art thieves on there? I'm looking into artfol but I'm just wondering

Slight hiatus

I'm gonna be taking a short break from social media
I think I just need to take some time away from it, I've dealt with quite a bit of bullying on instagram and today was one of those days, I was writing a topic in detail about it but accidentally exited out and I don't wanna hafta rewrite that 💀 but that bully called my art bland etc etc, acted like it wasn't an insult even though they called it s**t, and when I gave them the actual definition of bland which meant good things they said they meant the bad way and acted like I didn't know English???
I went into detail on what I was writing at first but I don't wanna rewrite it all but that person
Had no regard for how other people feel, has no respect for the dead, is technically racist, a gatekeeper, and just a plain bully

Having a "generic" art style is 100% okay and I genuinely do not understand why there's such stigma around it, it's okay to have a generic or "bland" art style as they called mine, just DON'T CALL PEOPLES ART GENERIC EVEN IF IT IS

My style may not be "unique" to them but it is to me, my experience as an artist, my love for art and the characters I draw, it feels unique to me, because I'm only me and no one else

I'd rather have some generic art style and be respectful to others than have some unique groundbreaking style and be a bully, that person wasn't even an artist though :/

Their bullying got so bad I started to cry, they'd insult me yet say it wasn't an insult, be slightly racist, disrespect a deceased artist I look up to, insult me personally, etc...

So yeah, I need a break from it all...

I'll never forgive you, internet_e.girl on Instagram 🙂

I bet they were like, 11 or something too, they kept using "^w^" while being genuinely mean 💀
