The Spice of Life

About to be extremely annoying and show off my #InfinityNikki photos both from this new update and the prior times I've played. This new season was just filled with good outfits. First season where I literally need every single outfit

Howdy, I'm Cinnamon Brown Sugar Apple Jack, Black Cat PNGTuber streamer who needs an excuse to finish my games. I (try) to stream every Sunday and every other Saturday. The current game series we're wanting to complete is the Baldur's Gate games, starting from 1-3!

I honestly need to clean up my page for this blog. It's so stressful looking through it

Welp, I'm finally home

And having your own style will have ya standout in a good way. While its common to have a cartoon/anime-esque style, it would be nice to see more unique Avatars out there. Im a hypocrite because I hope to upgrade from my current PNG to the 2wintails custom model one day lol

Even if you don't make a full model, vtube/PNGTube assets would be a great contribution. Starting out with streaming and vtubing/PNGTubing myself, I always end up getting discouraged when I see cute and fun assets but they only come in one skin color

More POC vtube models are always welcomed!

So what does one post when trying to social the media. I honestly don't get how there's people out that that say whatever on different platforms lol.

All in all, Please be cautious when purchasing anything from IviyBee and, as much as I hate to say this, be sure you know that the person your commissioning or buying art from is a genuine artists. Support REAL Artists, not those who rather find "shortcuts" to making art #🚫AI #Vtubing #PNGTuber

Grows within this community when we should all be excited to seek out artists and riggers and feel secure in commissioning them or buying their hardwork because WE KNOW it was created by a person, not through generative AI

And it sucks, because I think of other smaller Vtubers/PNGTubers that are on a budget, see a $1 item and get excited because it's EXACTLY what they wanted, but it's actually AI art and they either don't realize it or they find out too late like myself. And then this feeling of distrust-

And because of this, when I sought out another Etsy store to buy a LEGITIMATE ART PRODUCT FROM, I became critical, which is exhausting. Fortunately, I found WaifuStreams and bought their Calico Cat Lofi Stream Overlay, which I highly recommend you get

And to top this off, I want to fault myself for this. While I understand I was "fooled" into thinking this was a genuine artists. I still PAID MONEY for this because I THOUGHT I was buying from a legitimate artist. Only to find out too late that it was AI, AND I CAN'T GET MY MONEY BACK

Now, if this, somehow, someway, ends up being a genuine artist. Then, one, I'm sorry that I believed your art was AI generated. HOWEVER, I must ask, should this reach the artist, to please review your own work carefully before releasing and asking for payment for art that looks unprofessional

-AI works. Look at this shop page and tell me otherwise

www.etsy.com/listing/4395...

AND ANOTHER THING! When I looked at their other "art products" I noticed that certain aspects of the back and foreground look completely different. As if they generated, for example, a magic wand individually, got the desired result, and then cut along the lines and posted it behind their other-

And when looking at their store, they had 35 products, which...Listen, I'm no artists, and maybe, if I want to be generous, they could've had all this in storage. BUT, I don't know any artists that's able to dish out 35 art pieces in 3 months.

YET EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRIED LOOKING THEM UP, I KEEP GETTING WEB SEARCHED INVOLVING IVY BEES. LIKE, THE LITERAL INSECT IVY BEE. I even tried putting Artist after putting in their store name, Iviybee, and while it did show me some artists, none of them measured to what the Etsy store showed me

So I thought, "ok, maybe, for whatever reason, they didn't link their socials, so let me try manually looking them up!" Because I find it impossible for someone to get that amount of people buying from their shop UNLESS they have some sort of following.

So I decided to look at their shop a lot more closely. I checked their about page, nothing. Not even a social media link to their Twitter or Instagram or anything. Which I find weird because THIS ETSY SHOP MADE 800+ SALES WITHIN 3 MONTHS. THIS SHOP STARTED IN 2025

Let alone for $5.05 if it wasn't for the Soft Opening Sale. Now, I'm not the type to just call an artist out for using AI, because I genuinely believe that I don't know where or what to look for to confirm or deny it. And I don't want to accidentally hinder another's business.

I started when I looked at their 2nd Background on the file I purchased where I noticed that the windows were positions in such a noticeably erroneous way that I CANNOT imagine a GENUINE artist missing such a detail and seeing this as acceptable to sell to their customers for a $1.54

Because my whole concept with my stream is a Black Cat Girl with pink to purple colors and I love stars and the moon. So I got it without a second thought because it looked cute. I looked through the images and I noticed some critical issues with the "art" and discovered that it was AI generated

Ok, so my anger is still healthy from last night and I just want to bring awareness of this. In my pursuit of looking for a Stream Overlay for my Twitch channel, I stumbled upon a Etsy shop user by the name of Iviybee. I found their Black Cat Cozy Room Stream Overlay and was ecstatic (Part 1)

I created a Customizable VTuber Model Discord Community for documenting every model, mascot, prop, asset, and related information in a forum system.

If you are a VTuber or considering it, please feel welcome to join

Me: "Man, I really need to find time to play new video games."

Also me: *Comes back to the same 5 games I already spent over 400 hours in and on my 10th save file*

Nevermind mind, I found an even better one that isn't AI generated. Screw AI :D

Nevermind, I bought another one!
