You may imagine my surprise when my mother called the other day and told me that 'some guy from the internet called (her) and wanted to know when the artwork I owed them would be done'.
I don't know who, if any of you, did this. I am going to assume it was a wrong number and a big coincidence.
It will not happen again. Period.

Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

I Have No Fucks Left to Give.
Patreon has, apparently banned feeders from the site. If not for the actions of certain "artists" over the last week or so, I would be upset about this, even if Feederism really isn't my thing. I, after all, try to defend the over all expansion community, and have done so for decades. The problem is, that either I've been too good at my job, or some expansion creatives are the sort of ungrateful, unaware shits that used to harass *us*, some of whom, on this very platform. I am *deeply* not OK with people who harass and threaten others with violence, over Art. (There are plenty of things I *have* done violence over, but that isn't one of them) This week, with the death of Akira Toriyama, much of the Internet paid tribute, including Synthographers. It turned into, quite literally, a brawl at a funeral. This was disrespectful toward Mr Toriyama (who, while I don't know his specific opinion on AI Art, seemed to have a positive opinion toward AI, in general. People forget that
The Sky (Net) is Falling!
In my lifetime, I've seen 'the end of art' more than once now. The first, though, these days most of you are too young to remember it, was the advent of digital art. Photoshop (and programs like it) would, supposedly, bring about the 'end of art' by putting creative power in the hands of people who didn't go though the process to become creators the previous generation had. I remember being actually SPAT ON by one particular painter, because I was an agent of the End Times who was taking away jobs from 'real' artists. Needless to say, Art did not 'end' at that point. Things changed, new art forms emerged, and art rolled on. Some of us adjusted how we made art and did business, and that was all that, ultimately. happened. This is not a new thing. In fact, I deeply offended one of the moderators on a group I run, when told I them that: most of the arguments against AI art that I heard were recycled from arguments against Photographers being 'artists'. I think the
A Planned Experiment.
Going to try an idea I had, where I use AI to generate an image, and then write a story based on that image.

Sorry Folks, but this Halloween is a bust. I had planned on putting up some stuff here this year, but I didn't get shit finished. It's been non-stop overtime to try and deal with the massive backlog from COVID, and I had just a night and a day to work on anything at all. Including some stuff that had priority, like my house. I'll see if I can get something out by next weekend. Happy Halloween, everyone.

YIKES!!
I understand you're putting this up to coincidence. But this day and age, that's no longer likely...
I can't help but feel that some one who may have commissioned you and paid through Paypal, may have gotten your name when making the payment. (the same way you see their names when anyone makes a payment to you.) Then they could have used "beenverified dot com" or some sort of equivalent, to find you. I've searched my own name on that site and managed to find my old address and phone number of where I lived with my mom, and then the address where I lived in college.
Sorry to damage your calm, but I really wish there was a way to the screen people who commission you; or if there was like some sort of blacklist against all creepy commissioners. Hopefully getting your name and address unlisted in the white pages can help prevent shit like this.
