🐲Group Rules:🐲

No AI content allowed in this group. Art comes from people. Creativity, hard work, passion, persistence, practice, effort, practice, and attention to detail beyond entering prompts. There are tutorials here and a lot of assistance, so even if you are just learning to draw, just learning to write, or even if you have experience but want to grow, feel free to post your pieces here, we are excited to have you.


Please note, we do not own the copyright for artwork posted here. We cannot, and will not, give permission for it to be posted or used anywhere outside this group. Every artist has the right to decide what happens with their art, so if you want to use it in ANY way, ask them to see if they are okay with it. If they are not, respect their choice. Do NOT submit art posted here into AI generators. We have discussed it and no artist here wants their art stolen and used. If you love their art, respect their choices.

PHEW! omg that was stressful... I BELIEVE everything has migrated over... and I'm so far okay with things! I get to feature more of your art on the front page, which I like, and we can choose some colors and do some fun things with it. What do you all think? Want anything changed?

THIS IS EXCITING! Artists, check out https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/ NightShade is Here! Download v1.0! Note: this version is standalone, i.e. without Glaze. Please be aware that a shaded image that is not Glazed is potentially vulnerable to style mimicry. We are testing and will release a combined version of Glaze/Nightshade when ready. Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence. In an effort to address this power asymmetry, we have designed and implemented Nightshade, a tool

This is what I am hearing, and looking at things, it appears to be true! So be warned and beware. Before joining/using anything you need to search for AI, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Training--kewords to search for! Got any to add?

If you haven't done so already start saving all of your custom postings, your rules, your various commentary to outside sources like word or whatever because once the mandatory switch to the new group format you will lose all of it. Trust me, I know, I have 3 groups so I found out the hard way with the first group.

Holding out and not migrating will accomplish nothing. DA will force you to change and you will lose all your custom items.

Thank you for the warning! Ugh, I hate these forced changes...

I completely agree. It's not fair that we work to make this place a community for our followers and this is how they reward us - by making it worse.

So all of the group's posts and bulletins are going to get wiped clean? What about something like folder descriptions?

Gallery folder descriptions are still there. Your journals will remain intact, too. But any custom coding or boxes will disappear. There used to be a box where you had affiliates - no longer exist now. But in that box I had a bunch of rules and art and gifs from the web - all erased. They give you a lot of custom boxes so you can fill them with screen shots of your existing items. I made a screen shot of my affiliates for example but they're not linked just titles and icons.


If in doubt, save it and perhaps there will be a placard in the new format to display it.

Contest Announcement!

The studio's next project is an anthology of short stories set in Morgulia and so we thought we would do something extra special. From today through Sunday November 19th, I will be running a Morgulia short story contest. Up to 7 winners will be chosen and winners will have their stories published, with page length, setting, and tone editing done by myself, in the anthology with full credit and perpetual royalties so long as we continue to publish it.

All entries must be posted with the keyword #Morgulia , submitted to either myself or the Featured folder in the Morgulia fangroup here on DeviantArt, be grim fantasy horror stories, and have the main character or character's that the story focuses on be from one of the following factions (links for more in depth descriptions):

The Dobrinian Order; duty bound but uncaring and coldly stoic militant order upholding humanity's position of strength within Morgulia no matter the cost: Dobrinian Order Concept
 

The Tanizi Troupes; barely tolerated traveling entertainers and occasional thieves bearing a dark history and ancient curse: Tanizi Troupe Concept
 

The Manhunters; Ruthless men and women who specialize in tracking down and returning with anyone with a price on their heads, whether dead or alive: Manhunters Concept
 

The Mircalac; Vampires as corrupt and decadent as the are beguiling and dangerous who seek to make Morgulia their plaything once more: Mircalac Concept
 

The Zana Courts; bizarre and dangerous spirits from outside ordered reality that take on strange humanoid forms for their own unknowable purposes: Zana Courts Concept
 

The Cult of Gurath; peasant followers of a dark entity inhabiting the mountain woods of Morgulia and granted vitality at the cost of sacrifice: Cult of Gurath Concept


The Cobolani Clans; degenerate and cannibalistic fishers and ferrymen who have struck an unthinkable bargain with aquatic entities resulting in mutations: Cobolani Clans Concept

Finally, for those needing a refresher on Morgulia itself, more general information can be found here: What is Cursed Lands: Morgulia?

Good luck; I look forward to seeing what horrors you all unleash!
