Crying human comic, 2D and 3D artist, game dev hobbyist who dabbles like a flailing fish in some music
(Adults only please 🙏‼️ I post adult stuff 😭)
I used to draw FF15 things, and DBH things but now I’m mostly drawing OC things and working on my game
- I keep hoping Trump is bluffing, Denmark is a beloved sibling nation and Greenland is a peaceful semiautonomous region, and it’s really not fun with all the invasion jokes ppl are making. I can see people in the US are suffering too. I will never have anything against the ppl. But I hate Trump.
- is it a happy new year or do I force myself to laugh by drawing laughing OCs doodling on the phone but I can’t see what I’m drawing cuz I use my finger My man Sixten doesn’t know what laughter is I don’t like uploading art post genAI but I will one day until then Hahahaha your way through life
- New year huh. I hope everyone is doing well. Waiting for the genAI bubble to burst and to see if EU Chat control gets passed in some form or another and following what Palantir is doing. Until then, I’ll speak in riddles. Hmm. Moustache or no. Hm. Moustache… Hmmmm. I gotta get back to work.
- I just remembered I’m an artist making a game, not actually writing a book, I can just animate the cadence in the text box and character models
- Oxford commas and em-dashes perceived as indicators of generative-AI rather than the other way around, that it is learned from human writing, really gets to me. Blerb.
- I’ve been purposefully avoiding to use em-dashes in my writing but it is such a useful stylistic choice for setting cadence, what am I supposed to use instead. 😭
- I will get back to messages tomorrow, I must pop into sleep. 😭 Just wanted to say I think I’ve written half a novel for my game while laying sick in my bed (most days). Once done, I just need to implement it. I’ve studied so much linguistics, prose, history, psychology, urban planning—
- I’ve also re-read so many books from my childhood, like Agatha Christie, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Jane Austen, Dostoyevsky, etc. And so many random publications and books by philosophers I both hate and love. I ignore generative AI by studying the past! I’m so happy! Good night!
- I’ve been interested in machine learning ever since I was little, but I never had the brains. Lately I’ve been reading some peer-reviewed papers about LLMs and LDMs specifically, bc they’re either the issue or precursors to bigger issues. I love science but hate when it ends up in greedy hands.
- It’s not the assistive research I’m worried about, like protein structure prediction/folding or material discoveries, etc. Though like I said, I don’t have the brains, I’m just learning a little as I read. Training ML to project billiard/pool balls and collision has nothing on this. 😭
- I’m not touching that again though! I finally managed to pick up some writing again, too. I’m majorly restructuring my game story. 😭 I’ve also been trying to read random history, and I’ve been watching ”What’s my line” from the US 50s and I love Dorothy Killgallen, and I’m so sad over her fate.
- How do I assess or address the current waves of ML/AI, whether commercial, open-source or government pushed? Job-displacements? Expanding scopes of ID verification, that comes with security and certification vulnerabilities? And (general) sustainability? Are we going back to a decentralized web? 😰
- What do I think anymore, or how do I even think 😰
- I’ve been taking a long break from game devving mostly due to health issues, I really want to get back to it. It’s so hard being a solo artist, so hubby does the programming entirely. I haven’t done code since I worked in the Godot engine. But two engine changes really was tough.
- It’s also hard to motivate myself when I see all the new games using generative-AI for their pipelines, releasing in such quick cycles. I feel like I can’t keep up, no matter how hard I try. GenAI is just not for me. Maybe it’s time to phase myself out haha~ 💩
- Kidding, that’s what people who hate artists want. I’m gonna finish my game someday, and all without genAI.
- Watching platforms that are generally good get swept away by payment processors too, for NSFW content, while the same application doesn’t solve big issues like CivitAIs (or other repositories) tens of thousands of user uploaded SD LoRA models, fine-tuned to output deepfakes.
- A tier list of FF14 characters being the first think I post in ages, unexpected huh. Else; Game dev is temporarily on status, as I’m researching other tech things right now. This is just a tier list for funs, the only ones I actually can’t stand are in the F-rank. 😭
- Thing* Hiatus* (But only for a short while I hope) sorry autocorrect 😭
- 2014-15 was the first time I heard of semi-public generative AI, Googles DeepDream. It had a lot of issues, destroying itself through feedback loops. I used to be able to search for relevant information to study with, it’s become so much harder with all the generated garbage only a decade later.
- I wasn’t so worried back then, but for the past few years I’ve been very worried. I would love to find ways to live away from generative AI, get healthy and well and make games. I also don’t post anything because I’m waiting for generative AI to be properly regulated. It’s slow.
- I used to get heartbroken reading messages telling me I’m various forms of horrible for the ships I’ve chosen to draw, but of course grateful when someone writes something nice. It’s unfortunately a reason I don’t draw much ship art or fan art anymore, how can you recover?
- Omg it’s Valentine’s Day I forgot
- It’s hard not to worry for my friends
- I have a lot to say about Elon
- Reworking everyone’s haaair, work in progress of course so forgive the unfinished looks 😭 #OCs
- Reposted by RexClypeus (😭selfcensoring gamedev😭)I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS. the indagator update is on the back burner currently while i work on other projects but i really want to release it with voice acting this year (even if it's only partial)
- On top of everything I want to do is also an 1880s-1930s whodunnit mystery game, a multiplayer CRPG in a 30s setting - will never happen 😭 but it ok - I finish this game and then I make another at some point 👌🥹
- Updating Thomas’s hair too, there are no proper shadow maps yet so the speculars and shadows are off, it’ll look better when I’m done 😭
- Hair is the hardest thing to 3D-model, since I’m vertex-pushing and not using simulations or curves - but personally, I find it gives me more control over everything so I prefer it that way~
- Materials aren’t all correct and wip-disclaimers 😭 but I decided it was time to make new hair meshes for Lucas as the old ones were placeholders anyway also my screen is dirty, shhhhh
