Someone took my art without my permission and posted a version of it that was AI generated, telling me they used the art I’d posted for the AI’s output. The silhouette looked more or less the same but everything else looked like an uncanny amalgamation of textures taken from other people’s art and the AI also gave it weird snaggle teeth (turbinid dragons don’t have teeth, so it looked really off).

Oh good gosh I just about lost my appetite too reading this 😂 glad you were okay though!

Pasta that was four years past its date. Some pieces were a bit brittle and I think it went a little softer faster than what was usual but overall I didn’t notice any difference and I enjoyed it! 😃 Definitely don’t do this with already cooked pasta though! The pasta I had was raw and in a sealed bag.

I would say this year, from experience with getting my art stolen and reading about others’ experiences. I love drawing digitally, but these are precarious times for artists to be posting their art online. While I do link to progress pictures, timelapses, sketches and files in my descriptions, I have a clean, airbrushy style that AI tends to mimic most often, so as of late I have been experimenting with mixing my cartoonier style with my current one.

A little WIP of the style experiment:

Oh wow I didn’t know that was possible. Thanks for the link! 😃

Windows, because my pride and joy (Paint Tool Sai) is only compatible with Windows and I love Paint Tool Sai far too much to change operating systems.

A migratory goose, so I could fly around to other countries! I love swimming too, so being an aquatic bird is a plus!

On a train. It was at night and it was a long train ride, and it’s the only occasion where I remember falling asleep while sitting up!

No. I have never and do not use AI in my art and never will

No. The electromagnetic frequencies released by laptops are non-ionizing. The photons do not have enough energy to knock electrons off of atoms and lead to DNA damage. The photons released from the monitor (or even a candle flame) are much closer to being ionizing compared to the electromagnetic frequencies used for the wi-fi.

Space burial

Earlier this year, I decided to engage with social media, so I searched for lists of social media websites and signed up on the ones I could find. Lemmy was on one of the lists and also happens to be one of the websites I enjoy the most! 😃

No. I only use my phone to make calls or send texts.

If you want to, yes. When I see them I try and buy them some food. I also give to the local charities which support them.

Do burgers count? 😃 If yes, whatever you want to call this burger that’s in a drawing I’m doing:

Basically a cheeseburger except with the melty cheese, with fries and ketchup added 🍔

As others have said 256 GB really isn’t very much if you’re going to play modern AAA games on it. I got ARK on my computer which is around 200 GB and a lot of AAA games nowadays are at least a couple dozen GB, with some in the hundreds. It can be annoying having to pick and choose which games to wipe to free up space, so just a heads up!

Can confirm the thing about failing HDD’s. Both of mine are failing but one is significantly worse than the other, things fail in certain parts, like entire folders, or just a few corrupt files. When I’ve had flash drives go bad it’s catastrophic (which is why I have like five of them oop)

My friends, family, drawing, having a nice home to live in, good food and fun stuff to do ❤️ I try and avoid negativity by searching for things I’m interested in to engage with, such as art, nature photography, cat photos, and videogames. Some websites let you tailor your feed to your liking!

I was surprised when I learned that Pikmin 3 is often disliked or even hated. It’s shamelessly my fave game of the series. I get that the story is shorter than it should be and it’s more linear but it has this charm that’s unmatched, and I enjoy the graphics style so much that it inspired several facets of my artstyle even. Also the mission mode is just the right difficulty and a ton of fun!

To be happy and enjoy things, and to make others happy in return! ❤️😌
