Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Sillage Control, 113, confirm visual on a scouting swarm in orbit around AGS337, about 7k units. No visual on the main constituent, it seems to be snooping around for jump tra...

Wait...

Control, 113, we are spotted, request immediate support !

Sillage Control, Jumpback complete, group 37 has been dropped near the Gas Giant, at position 331 from reference point. The seventh Calrihan lifebarge really didn't like the jump though, lost a few hull panels. It's probably not gonna last much longer...

Near the large blue Gas Giant, a large dark brown blocky ship covered in impact marks and what looks like rust is floating in the middle of a varied assortment of ships of all shapes and sizes.

View from a fancy atmospheric dome with a small pond in the middle of a forest. Outside of the dome, a fleet of ship is amassed around the fancy white ship from the last entry and the diplomatic vessel from the one before.

DISCLAIMERS :

These don't have any relation with The Lunar War.

These were all made in a day, including animations, so quality will fluctuate a lot.

I skipped some days here and there, the header of the post is the prompt number, there will be gaps.

If you have questions, feel free to ask !

Since we're in September, and I don't have much time available this year, thought I'd repost the first two songs (2 posts per day) of the Chronicles of the Sillage here, so they're not only in The Other Place.
There'll be some small edits and fixes, but for the most part it will be posted as-is.

You... can.
Granted, it's not as seamless as just CTRL+V into the node editor, but in the image editor there's a paste action that works with the OS clipboard. You can then quickly drag and drop from the image selector icon up top to easily create an image texture node out of it.

Indeed ! Kind of a coincidence if these look so alike, but it is part of it.

That said, I would be more interested in seeing Thargoid stuff. I'm a sucker for organic ships (NMS living ships, Wraiths from SGA, Ghosts from Nexus, etc), and interceptors (Basilisk my beloved) are so incredibly sexy...
