Memo/Curse Talks

I have been informed since my absence here that someone has used my picture/copied my Telemachus picture essentially without permission. Despite using AI to generate my pictures, it took me a very long time to create an image that I liked, and I took a very long time to create a specific style that I liked. I use Midjourney to create my pictures, and that costs money, which is why I watermark my pictures. I spend money on these pictures that I generate. But a very close friend informed me of someone not only essentially copying the picture, because it does look like a replica of my Telemachus bot that I've put a lot of time into making perfect, but they didn't even bother crediting me.

It's upsetting because I've been offline and away for personal reasons, only to have to come back and make my watermark on my pictures big and ruin the pictures due to someone basically stealing my work. I'm sorry for my absence to everyone who follows me, I will be back soon I promise, I just don't want anyone to be in the dark about why my pictures are mainly covered by my watermark now.
