Hello! I am the artist this model is based on. Permission was not asked for making this model, BUT, I FULLY ENDORSE THIS.

I am aware of how many artists are against their art being referenced, used, fed into AI, etc.

I am not against it, I give my full blessing and permission. If you would like evidence this is me, you may find it in my public Discord, which I will not link here but it is linked on my Twitter, my FurAffinity, my Tumblr, and can be easily found otherwise. The reason I'm not linking it here is because anybody could easily just pretend to be me and link a fake Discord.

You can ask me directly once you find my Discord if this is really me endorsing the use of my art to train AI, and I will respond "Yes, I endorse the use of my art to train AI."

I am not, however, an advocate for using people's art to train AI without their express permission. I'm giving a pass in my case because I genuinely don't mind and encourage it.

Disclaimer: I do remember like 2 years ago telling someone I don't mind if they make a model based on my art. If this is that person, then yes, express permission was in fact given.

This model looks very good! :)
