News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.
Further information on the bill itself can be found at the Free Speech Coalition: https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2112/

    This is hot though but I trust it's not AI just because I know a few artists that actually draw like that and they live stream it. But there's still that possibility I don't know this artist so I don't know

  • Hi, I'm the author. I upload the source files and timelapses of my drawings to my google drive, the link can be found on my FA account. There is also information there explaining how I draw. Hope this helps.

    Word cannot express how much I hate AI slop, mainly because so many great artists get accused of it, and the worst part is they have reasons for distrust. I really hope we can get this shit regulated at some kind of level.

    You've got it a bit backwards
    AI gets fed a lot of art like this so it'll autocomplete with this style a lot.
    Shit like that is why people show wips and timelapses because that's just the world we live in now...

    Anyway, this is a damn fine piece of work.
    The red scale layering on the inner part of thighs activates my neurons.

  • I wouldn't expect an AI to nail all these fine details on a relatively obscure character like Cinder. Nice work.😎👍

    I really appreciate you and other people who stood up for me and also those who saying kind words of support. But I still would like to be honest here: I use AI drawings as learing/study material, as well as references. I'm not hiding this, it is written in my disclosure on FA. This is the reason why my art style looks so similar to AI. Now I understand that some people might not like that, but drawing for me is just a hobby, I'm not taking any money for it. As of now, hopefully, as it is not breaking e621 or FA uploading rules, I hope that I can just continue doing what I like.

    It has the style but no errors. Her left love handle as people like to call it looks a little strange with how scrunched up it is but thats an extreme nitpick and would probably get you called a dick for pointing it out in art class.

    I see what you mean, but I'd give the benefit of the doubt. I can't find any obvious red flags, it just has that art style. A real person is totally capable of drawing in that style as well.

  • Ai often gets decorative details wrong like knots on clothing, illogical flowing hair and details on jewelry.
    By the spikes on the bracelets and choker I am confident this is quality human made art.

  • To me it doesn't look like it was drawn by AI, but such a beautiful template of background, color contrast and character, everything beautifully detailed and on top of that one of my favorite dragoness in games. 🖤❤️

  • This is really amazing.

    For people having doubt, I've checked the whole process of this pic, and this is NOT AI at all.

    It really sucks how some artists have to go to such lengths to prove they aren't using AI these days. I miss when high quality pics like this were a surefire sign of talent, not a red flag for possible shady shit.

    Nah that's just cause of the way she's posed, it's scrunched up like that cause that's how skin would normally act in that same pose when it gets bent in a similar way
