Floating message. #grickledoodle #walruses #climatechange #cartoon #art #drawing #horror #funny
A cartoon illustration of walruses floating upright in the sky while a man looks on surprised. Caption reads "Like great monoliths of blubber in the sky, the levitating walruses had been one of the more odd side effects of climate change."

I only stated sharing my ref photos and then going out with the only goal of finding and sharing interesting places in the city I live in cos some jack ass said genai was good for inspiration and that was when it was garbage 3 years ago.

I gather and share in the hopes it inspire fantastic new art

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Another look at my security Kiosk project another goal at the time was to to show off a space with different moods by playing with lighting that was very new to me at the time. Still not grate with lights but was worth the attempt

Fifteen Years

xkcd.com/3172/
Comic. Panels up to the 10-year point are grayed out. New panels since the Ten Years comic, which chronicles the first ten years of PERSON 1's journey with cancer: (1) [two people in bed] PERSON 1 (woman): One more chapter? PERSON 2 (man): Don’t we both have to get up early? PERSON 1: Nnnnnggggh PERSON 2: Sure, good point. (2) [many people wearing masks, walking while looking at graphs on their phones] (3) [birds landing on people] PERSON 2 in beanie and scarf: Hah! They like *my* seeds best. PERSON 1 in scarf holding phone with a bird sitting on it: Wait, how do I take a picture of this one? (4) [two people rowing boats with tree landscape] (5) [Person 1 carries overflowing stack of things to Person 2 in bed] PERSON 1: I brought you honey lemon tea, more pillows, a cinnamon roll, Tylenol, another blanket, a– PERSON 2: It was just Appendicitis, I’m really– PERSON 1: *It is my turn to take care of you and I am going to do it right!* (6) [Two people in car] (7) [still in car) PERSON 1: Oh my god. PERSON 2: Oh my god. (8) [car driving] PERSON 1: Pull over! PERSON 2: I am! (9) [both people get out of car] (10) [Large colored panel of aurora borealis over water with both people looking on] (11) [Person 1 sits against tree while Person 2 lies on the ground] PERSON 1: Fifteen years. No sign of the cancer. (12) I *am* having some weird symptoms. Joint pain. Fatigue. I think I’m losing my close-up vision. PERSON 2: Yeah. Me too. (13) PERSON 2: I think we’re getting old. (14) PERSON 1: I guess that’s okay. PERSON 2: It’s all I wanted.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea, thanks! I'll playmwith it. And repurposing historical designs like that is always fun.
On the other hand I kinda want to avoid as much articulation as I can for maintenance purposes.

A bvit of a challenge to make it usable, but I have some more ideas. I will likely rethink the cockpit a bit.

A small meeting doodle with some hints of #Pioneerspacesim
A black and white digital fineliner style sketch of a tall house in among some flat hills on a field, with some large rocks. The rocks and the house has some thin flags blown by the wind. The house has two floors and a pitched roof, and a large three-tubed chimney puffing a thin line of smoke. A bit further over the house, half-obscured by the hills, a Mola Mola spaceship is sitting on the field, and there are some tiny bits of sci-fi details around, like an antenna or a round tank nestled next to the house.

'Been playing with some Natrix ship interiors, and it is a quite interesting to figure out a layout for a ship that spends most of its time under thrust gravity (tower layout), but is supposed to belly land as well.
#pioneerspacesim #spaceship #sci-fi
A mostly gray viewport render of the interior of a sci-fi spaceship. A courier type called Natrix. The layout shows some blue walls and other colored components. The ship has a tower layout, due to thrust gravity under acceleration, so there are some steep ladder-stairs for the five levels. A closeup of the cockpit and the three narrow levels underneath it, showing some ladderway and a hallway with doors, turned vertical. The cockpit has three seats, where you'd be laying on your back, and there are some black people for scale reference

I would like that a lot too. Most important to me would be the ability to use the Blender VR scene inspection and other vr 3d software. So a tool first and foremost

you can keep windows 10 with security updates for at least another year so you don't have to deal with all the AI shit in windows 11 www.engadget.com/computing/wi...
Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free
Thanks to Extended Security Updates, you don't have to make the switch to Windows 11 just yet.

Oh, and I've named a spaceship in my project, which was partially inspired by the SR-75 Blackbird after La Merle (tail number- HA-MRL). I'm so looking forward fleshing out the production model of it.

First saw La Merle in college. Fell in love with it instantly.
As an animated filmmaker working on a glacial project, while there's no delight in it, McLaren's struggle and resolve behind the film is quite inspiring,

Panel 1: Shen is leaning out of the panel, bending and expanding it as he does so. He grasps the edge of the panel with his left hand and points at you with his right. He looks angry and is yelling "I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO TO MY PATREON ... BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY!! SO, YOU WANNA GO???" The background is red. Panel 2: Shen is grasping a metal staff with both hands and seemingly about to drive it into the ground below him. He says "VERY WELL THEN". The background is orange now, having calmed down from the red. Panel 3: Shen drives the metal staff, revealed to be a flagpole with a flag on it, into the top of a large staircase with the full force of his body. Sparks and bits of rock fly everywhere. The stairs read, in ascending order on the side of each step, "1000", "2000", "3000", and "4000". Panel 4: The flag billows in the wind as tiny bits of rock and dust fly by. It is a white flag with the words: "I finish Public U. Art Club Season 2" Panel 5: Shen is facing you with his head visible through a white circle outline, with a little over half of its perimeter filled with green. He has a serious and determined expression. He says "If the Patreon hits $4000, I will finish S2 of Public U. Art Club. We are already over halfway there." Panel 6: We zoom out on Shen at the top of the staircase, holding that flag billowing in the wind, as his hair and the hood strands of his hoodie do the same. He is mostly cloaked in shadow, being silhouetted against a bright yellow-and-white gradated background. His mouth and eyes are still visible, as they are pure white. He says "are you up for it?" At the bottom of the panel is written "PATREON.COM/SHENCOMIX"
