To me, your machines are more akin to classical Greek “Daemons” then they are to most LM I have seen, But thats just my interpretation.

ratbat @ratbat.bsky.social · 16h

I think yours are unclassifiable tbh. Or a combo of at least 3 of these things. Mostly because at any time they are dragons, shapeshifters, ghosts, divine entities, amalgamations with multiple faces, and shake tongues, in addition to any resemblance of machine silhouettes there are.

I wish I could. Their is no source because the Author hides from his community after 6 months of drawing. What I have are pictures submitted by other people. He will not talk to us.

Drawing Is hard (even if your good at it) but you workflow short-hands, your conceptualization, and problem solving decisions made Good or Bad, is where artists really hash out the meaning of the work. You cant skip this process using a machine that has no real idea of what you are prompting.

That is what the armed services call “Stolen Valor” lol. Folks using Midjourney wanna say they are artists, and wanna get paid like real artists, but Gen Alpha knows about AI, and Lack of scarcity devalues the AI art itself. Eventually you will run out of Boomer Disney Adults to scam money from.

Every time someone opens their mouth to hype AI, just google “name of person/company invests in AI” and you’ll *always* find something. Every time.

I’m not actually sure! Maybe you aren’t on here yet. The main distinction here being how we can effectively tag this stuff so that if it does end up on E621, or a chan board, people can look up their specific flavor. Example: People erroneously use “Dire Machine” because they think it means “Feral”.

www.deviantart.com/littleloomex... here is the source of that scale btw. I say (yeah sure post it) but if you feel self conscious you can try and ask the source.

This was from a proposed “Planes 3” sequel that ultimately got canceled along with the pitched “Trains” movie. They spent 35 million, and threw it in the trash. Heres some Russ Edmon concepts:

Sitou silly posts. (And one kistte abrahms)

The different types of airplane LM split off into multiple directions because no one specific style can satisfy every artist’s needs. Some folks need massive tits to enjoy “airplane”, while others just need the “theme” of airplanes for their dragon. Some folks need the tech in full display ect.

Some Adults in my life thought this same thing as well. They weren’t able to critically think about how these programs still required you to actually draw, research everything from scratch like actual pen n’ paper. Users still had to put in the work, but now you have an “undo” button, and “Layers”

I attended an art course just over a decade ago, and one of the students there unironically thought digital art basically involved "push button to make art."

Other specific Dire machine things:
Dires are loosely based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s world of horror, with a 1990’s Japanese sentient robot aesthetic (think Brave Police J Dekkard/GaoGaiGar) They have nothing to do with Disney’s Cars/Planes universe, and represent infected technology via aliens.
