so I use index cards as my blot paper when panel lining my model kits, to unload the brush and clean my fingertips

realized that I accidently made what looks like a minimalist animal-eared person with an eyepatch, maybe a cloak or maybe long hair; I'd actually love to see how artists interpret it!
A blank index card with ink splotches and strokes on it, used as blot paper for an art project. By chance, a series of strokes and splotches come together to make a minimalist rendition of an animal eared person with an eyepatch.

Kasuar art by @murmurlilies.bsky.social!! #Signalis #Signalisoc #tlarncommissions
Art of a Replika, Kasuar unit "Flott", with her body covered in visual glitches, staring listlessly at the viewer. Glitches cover wounds she chooses to ignore, while some areas show visible damage to her shell. Glitches completely cover one eye, and a ribbon that once tied up her long hair is falling apart in the air, also covered in glitches. Art of a Replika, Kasuar unit "Flott", staring listlessly at the viewer. Her shell is visibly damaged, long black hair flowing free as the ribbon that tied it back floats away in the air. This is a glitch-free version of the previous art.

I have this exact combo on my desk, it's so fucking cute and almost worth how fiddly the cape parts are

I also gave her the big knife from one of the Heavy Weapons optional sets

she'd definitely be invited to the Kasuar dorm for a few games of mahjong if she enjoys it!

of course once they figure she's ready, they get Akagi levels of serious

"Kasuar cadres are known to form internal hierarchies, similar to and functioning as a chain of command."

- KASR-000033, Gewieft: strike-team captain
- KASR-000084, Stampfen: captain's second
- KASR-000093, Flott: new member, cadet

"Tsanavesta Maunvega, callsign: Flyssa. Thought we lost her, in that disaster of a mission. We recovered her, don't know how she ended up where she did. The docs cleared her for active duty. But something still feels... wrong."

A portrait of Tsanavesta Maunvega, callsign: Flyssa. Her hair has been cut very short, down to a pixie cut. Her hands are clutching her face while she looks to the viewer with a wild look in her eyes and a vacant smile. A portrait doodle of Tsanavesta Maunvega, callsign: Flyssa. Her design is simplified and cuter, with what may be a cigarette or the stick of a lollipop in her mouth.

"One avenue of persona stabilization for Kasuars is activities that promote camaraderie. While supplying a team with a deck of cards is sufficient, the most effective activity is mahjong." #SIGNALIS #tlarncommisions

A Kasuar sits at a table with mahjong tiles laid out in front of her. She smiles and waves to the camera.

Tsanavesta Maunvega, callsign: Flyssa, is wearing a black romper with white cuffs and collar and smoking a cigarette. She is a dark-skinned woman with white curly and wavey hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. She is looking impatiently at the viewer. Red lines spiderweb across her skin.

we all know the people pushing LLMs are idiots, but this is how you Know

"simply penalize confident errors"

who's determining if it's an error? the end-user. simple, basic, catastrophic design flaw. a college professor would embarrass someone in front of the entire class for making this mistake.

"Wh- you were on patrol with that Kasuar."
"SHE'S that Kasuar? But she was such a hardass!"

Two Replikas, both Kasuars, are looking toward the viewer. One, wearing nothing and with her bare shell, is waving towards the viewer, smiling. Her long black hair is put up into a ponytail, tied with a bow. The other Kasuar has her back to the viewer, peering over her shoulder. In contrast to the first Kasuar, she is wearing her full special-operations equipment: bodysuit, armorplates, straps, utility pouches, and a black helmet. The helmet's visor is removed, held in her hand. The pupil of her visible eye is constricted tightly.

"Flyssa disappeared all those months ago, right? Well, we've gotten reports of sightings that fit her description. Problem is, she's been showing up in several places at once. And, there's something different about her." #Lancer #LancerRPG #tlarncommissions

Tsanavesta Maunvega, callsign: Flyssa, is emerging from the screen of a large monitor, pink light behind her as error text streams down the screen. She is a dark-skinned woman with white hair, once long but now cut short to a pixie cut. She wears her purple piloting suit and her burgundy jacket, but the ones red lines on her skin are now a glowing pink. Her eyes, sharing that same glowing pink, looks to the viewer, and she smiles invitingly, menacingly.
