sorry I forgot to also add to my previous question. If the argument is re:"I trained x model with my OWN art" or "I got consent form x artists to train this model so it's not stolen"; how would you interpret this?

That a creator who is too lazy to respect their own art doesn't have the imagination to be good at it, and also they hate the planet and want humanity to die, ostensibly.

With retrospring scheduled to close in 2025 (unless they roll that back), will you move to any other q&a platforms, use your website for it, or stop doing Q&a’s altogether? I love reading your answers to questions and want to follow you to wherever you go, if you go somewhere!

Eh, that's something I'll deal with in 2025 honestly. that's a year away, lots can happen between now and then.

My inbox on tumblr is always open and I'm happy to answer anything through there also, but not many people seem to send me asks!

If you ever lose track of my online presence for any reason, just go to either of my domains (jaydaitkaci.com / littlefoolery.com) and any SM accounts listed there will be where I'm at.

Thank you for finding my answers interesting, they've been fun to respond to.

It must have been on your website but I may paraphrase it a lot. I will try to word it as closely as I remember: "if your art doesn't change, you're not changing anything about the way you draw" or something along these lines.

hi Jayd! I periodically look your website's "about" page. The 'general art advice' is always a good reminder and a place I find comfort. I do not remember if that is where it was written or if it was a twitter post but you had a line that struck me for a long time saying something along the lines of changing the way you draw. Did you take it down because you have a different philosophy now? Just a trivia question really you don't have to respond

I would be happy to answer you but I don't recall what you're referencing. Can you tell me more about what I was talking about at the time regarding 'changing the way you draw'? (My memory as a general rule is terrible.)

Have you ever considered making a timelapse for your work, besides livestreaming?

Not really. I dislike editing, and it seems redundant when my livestreams are automatically recorded.

I hope this doesn't come across as weird but the way you structure your sentences is very eloquent and to the point. Do you write? And so you happen to have any tips to anyone who would want to improve their expression? It is extremely admirable!

when it comes to worldbuilding, how do you and muun approach it?

This may actually be a better question for Muun, she's more thorough about worldbuilding than I am and I often take her lead on it. Anything amazingly cool about worldbuilding is all her, I'm more her assistant in this regard. She often comes up with a premise for the world and I go "oh that's very cool' and basically work on making that work.

The worldbuilding I help supply has more to do with character functionality (the geo-economical reality the characters live in, how they traveled if they traveled, etc), and researching the cultural influence I'm pulling from to make the world building real.

Do you ever feel like you outgrow any of the stories you're working on? And if you do, how do you feel about discontinuing them even if they're already out there for people to read? I discontinued a story once because I was no longer the same person who had started it and couldn't see any paths forward that I liked for it.

'end of the day irony is either for comedians or cowards tbh' i love how you worded this! could you expand on it a little bit more if you don't mind!

Always love seeing your works! You've mentioned a few times about your sense of art direction... was there any books/resources early on that helped you grow that skill?
