A Shift on the Horizon
Added 2025-09-30 23:39:59 +0000 UTCDear Veilbourne,
You may have seen the recent controversy surrounding Inkarnate and the possibility of AI art on their Marketplace. Inkarnate has since released a statement confirming that AI-generated art will not be allowed. This is a relief—but it doesn’t erase the ongoing concerns many of us have felt.
The past months have shown increasing inconsistencies in style, poor communication with the community, and a buggy app experience. Because of this, I have begun to create my own test assets. The goal is to explore whether I can build a coherent style of my own—one that guarantees:
a unique visual identity for The Veil of Avalon
artwork that is entirely free of AI
and full rights retained for all assets
If this proves successful, it will mean a more unique, authentic, and lasting direction for the project. Of course, this change may delay the timeline, but I believe it may also be the right step forward. While nothing is set in stone yet, the tendency to move away from Inkarnate is becoming clearer.
On a personal note
My health is improving, and with that comes the ability to rebuild the reliability and consistency that has been missing in recent months. To make up for delays, this month’s reward bundle will be larger, releasing on the 5th of October.
Gratitude
I want to thank everyone here for your patience, kindness, and support. It means so much to me to know that you continue to walk this path with me. Whatever direction the project ultimately takes, I will ensure that Veil of Avalon remains true to its vision: solemn, mythic, and free of compromise.
