Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but "ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them. So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

On a happier note, I've beaten Fire Emblem Awakening....again. And I'm celebrating kicking Fell Dragon asses by redrawing Lucina's FEH artwork. I also used the Ylisse background from the same game (doesn't mean I'm returning to FEH, screw gachas). Now wish me luck as I tackle Fates. #fireemblem

A princess from the kingdom of Ylisse posing in a cool way. She has a long blue and red cape, a sword that can slay dragons and a big smile on her face.
She's standing in front of a beautiful Yilissean plain with mountains in the distance.

All of this is immortalized in a beautiful ancient medieval scroll...or rather, I just applied a texture I found online.The same image as before, but the background is more colorful, either the painter here used more vivid colors or the drawing lost saturation as time went on.The same image but without the paper texture.
It's so lively it's like the painter copied everything one-to-one, Libra is a great artist, gotta say.

Let me tell you how much I DO NOT LIKE ILLUSTRATOR AT ALL. It's a vector based program, meaning images don't drop in quality when you load them. Cool, right? It would be cooler if the big fucking "crop image" button actually CROPPED THE FUCKING IMAGE WHEN I NEED IT TO. I HATE ADOBE I HATE ADOBE.

My despair as I try to work with the most dickish image editing software I've ever put my hands on.
Seriously, find other alternatives to Illustrator.

Happy new year everyone! This year has been a real rollercoaster for me, from my comic book school exam to my Malta vacation to cursing Activision for cancelling Crash 5. Aside from Ganonforf's disembodied head I have another gift for you guys in the next post!

A no-tiddy goth girl/boy who looks at a big number with a ton of references to things that she injected into her sternocleidomastoid in 2025.
Also the head of the Great King of Evil is there.

I saw a few of those AI blocklists, but I'm skeptical of actually using them since a few real artists are being flagged by 'em. Idk if they're automated or something, but I think they need to be remedied.

SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW - a film done dirty. Made for $17M in B&W, the studio paid another $17M to colorize it. An overzealous producer inflated the budget numbers in an interview to $70M to look like a big shot. The result was the movie looked like a bomb rather than a modest success.

Update: I just beat Final Horizon and my friends played cartoon opening songs the entire time. Then someone played Spanish dance music or whatever and I locked in the exact moment that played. This game is magical and I wouldn't have wanted it to end any other way.

Funnily enough my friends gifted me Sonic Frontiers for my birthday, when we booted it up the Birthday Bash was on. The music and the hypercolored ui jumpscared us and we played with it for 20 minutes before figuring out how to turn it off. It was the funniest birthday gift I've ever received.
