I have to admit, for this I did use a reference. I’m trying to run before I can walk, and I’m afraid any drawings from life would disappoint. If that doesn’t deter you, feel free to send me any poses you’d like me to (perhaps badly) work from.

Totally wasted on me, but thanks for the offer! I’m still learning fundamentals like construction and shading, I don’t need to be taking up anyone’s time. 😅

Cheers, I’m not sure if it’s ‘my style’ as such but I’m working it out as I go. I like the exaggeration and softness of the look, but the notepad app is really narrow in what it can comfortably do.

I might wait a year, based on what I’m hearing. He’s already got a weird sense of humour compared to kids his age, I should probably cool it.

Yeah? Admittedly I’m calibrated to the 80s version of what “PG-13” meant. What was the most risque bit? Mine is pretty comfortable with non sexual nudity and rude humour, but anything sexually explicit he’s probably not ready.

Ooh how exciting.

I’m tempted, but I’d want to share in the fun with my kid. Anyone who’s played it, What’s the youngest you’d recommend?

Go ahead and tag their username, you’ll notice a pattern.

Thanks, I will take that onboard for positioning it on the ereader cover. I’ve been looking at it so long now that I’m becoming numb to its ugly aspects, but it definitely hits different depending on the angle.

Now you know how the average investor thinks and/or behaves

All you have to do is squint your eyes. Until they’re closed. And then imagine a frog.

I get where you’re coming from - but I will eat my hat if that ever happens.

LLMs are not AI, it’s an algorithm that finds the most likely next word given a set of training data. We’ve fed it a pile of the shit we say, and it’s feeding us back the shit. It doesn’t plan, think, have opinions, or anything. Now we write stupid shit like this. We are yelling into a canyon and spooking ourselves out with the echoes of the shit we said.

True AGI might or might not have a self preservation instinct. Our instincts don’t come from the neocortex, and that is the area of the brain a true AGI is most likely to imitate.

Pff, I wish.

I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Cool sweeper game tho

Hell yeah Bastion. All Supergiant games really.

I’m sure they are hyped, delighted, and filled with espirit de corps about all of this.

It’s always projection. I’m almost bored of saying it.

He used the fancier looking one just for safety lmao

That makes sense. If there are plants above, consider framing a bit of them in for the final version, or change the web layout to match what’s there. Spiders make do with all sorts of wonky areas, after all!

Again, I really love what you’re doing here, I hope you’ll post more.

I love the idea of using negative space this way. It would be amazing if you could add more dimensionality to the background, increase the sense of perspective being the negative space so that the foreground objects create a sense of nearness.

Also, what is the web is attached to? What are the anchor points above? It’s unclear if the web is in a window or attached to plants in the garden.
