Against all odds, we have survived. We're taking a university course now, because the government will pay us for it and we do need the money, but it has unfortunately been eroding at our sanity somewhat, and we are learning nothing that we don't already know. We are, however, getting money.

We have somewhat of a backlog on Discord at the moment, as it doesn't have a daily upload limit and also it's easier to stick things on while we are being told things that we already know by people who are phrasing in in ways we find significantly misleading or incorrect (note: we don't use apps for things the vast majority of the time and if we access Tumblr via browser it immediately fucks up our formatting on PC, which can last several months). We will, hopefully, be posting these soon, but all is dependant on if we can actually scare up the time between courses to conglomerate that and fix any formatting errors in thoughts and such.

If that will happen any time soon... good question! Every time that our work practicum teacher opens her mouth, we take points of physical damage, and we don't think she understands the fact that getting back after we walk to a place also involves walking. We've had a lot going on for a while now and very little of it has been good. We're on new meds, and if the gods prove merciful, we won't have to tolerate this particular clown show past March. If there is no mercy to be found, however, we might have to keep doing this until June, in which case you can probably expect the quality of this to take a sharp downturn as the short time we have already spent in this program is already having immediate and catastrophic effects on our mental health.

We do not recommend going to university in any circumstances, but we are unfortunately aware that it may be necessary to get such things as a fancy piece of paper saying you are employable. Additionally, we would tell you to calibrate your expectations for anyone with a degree lower, but apparently what we consider the basic level of knowledge you should know before saying anything on any topic is everyone else's "bachelor degree and a bit", so our estimations on what people think is a high degree of knowledge to have are probably also off.

Any donations go to the Fund To Compensate Us For Having To Correct A Teacher Multiple Times In A Lecture And Then Looking Up Her Sources Later And Discovering They Are Blatant Misinformation. We are very tired. Please do research on things before talking about them. Thank you.

Taking a little break from Crashlander to join the NES Jam last minute! Making a teeny (literal) tower defense game. I've never worked with NES limitations on graphics before, it's a super fun little challenge :)

I'm pretty sure I'm fudging the colors per scanline a little but I tried to otherwise keep as faithful as possible! I feel like some of the art here may also be just a little too close to derivative of existing properties' sprites so I will probably change the artwork a lil more before submitting but I'm happy with the progress!

Hello everyone, I contributed art to two games for the recent Touhou Game Jam 13, get them from the links below!

after fucking around with AI art generators for a bit last night, i really don't get why AI bros are so gung-ho about it. i was trying to get it to generate something close to my fursona for a while and it would just constantly be unable to generate specific details like the heart-shaped goggles, or constantly make the fur orange despite me weighing that negatively.

it's also funny how i can just copy-paste sections from other prompts and instantly have the art come out 10x better. such skill on display there! *eyeroll*

another extremely funny thing is how hard you have to tell the generator to NOT make bad art or generate fucked up hands, and it'll still make fucked up hands! imagine having to beg an artist on your hands and knees not to fuck up the art you're getting them to draw, and they still decide to give the characters extra fingers and melty faces.

overall this whole experience just kinda left me bored and frustrated. i guess if you dont have a specific vision, wanna grift people with "adoptables", or just wanna generate wank material it's fine. but if you actually care about the output? i don't see how it can be appealing.

really, it just made me wanna go to the artists used in the prompts and commission them for actual art of my fursona.

Man. I miss when ai generated images looked like garbled nonsense. Not only bc it was funny but bc I really enjoy painting over other pictures!! I used to be super into it a few years back and I would paint on top of pictures of mushrooms or paint swirls or flowers or whatever else. I did actually paint on top of ai art once back then!! I remember I generated smth for “man falling through clouds” and drew 100 hr Scar using that as my underpainting

It was a palette I’d have never tried without that underpainting, which is why it’s a fun experimental technique!! But now any ai art will just. Draw The Picture For You

//I don't want to add this rule, but this is moreso to cover all bases. I've had to include this in all my art ToS on Vgen, so it's going here as well

I will unfollow/block if I catch you using AI in your writing/art/icons. My stance is that Generative AI has no place in any creative space and I have zero tolerance in anyone using it.  We are here to be creative. Using Gen AI defeats the purpose of that.

Anatomy of a Scene: Photobashing in ControlNet for Visual Storytelling and Image Composition

This is a cross-posting of an article I published on Civitai.

Initially, the entire purpose for me to learn generative AI via Stable Diffusion was to create reproducible, royalty-free images for stories without worrying about reputation harm or consent (turns out not everyone wants their likeness associated with fetish smut!).

In the beginning, it was me just hacking through prompting iterations with a shotgun approach, and hoping to get lucky.

I did start the Pygmalion project and the Coven story in 2023 before I got banned (deservedly) for a ToS violation on an old post. Lost all my work without a proper backup, and was too upset to work on it for a while.

I did eventually put in work on planning and doing it, if not right, better this time. Was still having some issues with things like consistent settings and clothing. I could try to train LoRas for that, but seemed like a lot of work and there's really still no guarantees. The other issue is the action-oriented images I wanted were a nightmare to prompt for in 1.5.

I have always looked at ControlNet as frankly, a bit like cheating, but I decided to go to Google University and see what people were doing with image composition. I stumbled on this very interesting video and while that's not exactly what I was looking to do, it got me thinking.

You need to download the controlnet model you want, I use softedge like in the video. It goes in extensions/sd-webui-controlnet/models.

I got a little obsessed with Lily and Jamie's apartment because so much of the first chapter takes place there. Hopefully, you will not go back and look at the images side-by-side, because you will realize none of the interior matches at all. But the layout and the spacing work - because the apartment scenes are all based on an actual apartment.

The first thing I did was look at real estate listings in the area where I wanted my fictional university set. I picked Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I didn't want that mattress in my shot, where I wanted Lily by the window during the thunderstorm. So I cropped it, keeping a 16:9 aspect ratio.

You take your reference photo and put it in txt2img Controlnet. Choose softedge control type, and generate the preview. Check other preprocessors for more or less detail. Save the preview image.

Lily/Priya isn't real, and this isn't an especially difficult pose that SD1.5 has trouble drawing. So I generated a standard portrait-oriented image of her in the teal dress, standing looking over her shoulder.

I also get the softedge frame for this image.

I opened up both black-and-white images in Photoshop and erased any details I didn't want for each. You can also draw some in if you like. I pasted Lily in front of the window and tried to eyeball the perspective to not make her like tiny or like a giant. I used her to block the lamp sconces and erased the scenery, so the AI will draw everything outside.

Take your preview and put it back in Controlnet as the source. Click Enable, change preprocessor to None and choose the downloaded model.

You can choose to interrogate the reference pic in a tagger, or just write a prompt.

Notice I photoshopped out the trees and landscape and the lamp in the corner and let the AI totally draw the outside.

This is pretty sweet, I think. But then I generated a later scene, and realized this didn't make any sense from a continuity perspective. This is supposed to be a sleepy college community, not Metropolis. So I redid this, putting BACK the trees and buildings on just the bottom window panes. The entire point was to have more consistent settings and backgrounds.

Here I am putting the trees and more modest skyline back on the generated image in Photoshop. Then i'm going to repeat the steps above to get a new softedge map.

I used a much more detailed preprocessor this time.

Now here is a more modest, college town skyline. I believe with this one I used img2img on the "city skyline" image.

( same anon) the one you made in DA. I guess little fan comic.

oh! I assume you do mean the cosium au ones then. I start with a width of around 1200 px to 1500 px.

I do webtoon-style comics for DA, meaning you read by scrolling down. So, the height of the comic varies on how long or short the actual comic/script is.

After I finish actually drawing everything, I resize the width down to around 800 px to 900 px. I do this so the comic is "zoomed" properly at 100% zoom (images on DA default either to full view or 100% 🤧)

It's hard to put into words adhhdhdhdh. I'll add a visual example when I can XD

As for programs! Medibang Paint has a bunch of neat features built specifically for making comics. And it's a free and (iirc) lightweight program too. Most of the comics I've made so far were done in Medibang!

I currently use Clip Studio Paint, which has more advanced features for comic making. But tbh, I don't really use them 😅 My process is very straightforward (use the shape tool for panels and draw literally everything else)

hope this helps anon! I'll add a follow up about the zoom thing when I have the time lol

[myothertardisisonthemun]

Kids these days are gonna end up making their weird images with AI, instead of coming up with the idea themselves, and Photoshopping it like God intended.

If Adobe hadn't made itself so expensive, and the free equivalents weren't comparably mediocre, we wouldn't be quite in this position.

Hulks in the Brine

One of my first AI-assisted pieces was "Wreck of the Wolf"

Which was made with A lot of photoshoppery and artbreeder's original landscape generator. I really love Wreck of the Wolf, and like attempting to make followup pieces in various AI generators with different techniques.

Using CLIP-Interrogator and the original work, I got the following prompt: a boat floating on top of a body of water, a digital painting, by Eugeniusz Zak, deviantart contest winner, digital art, decayed, trending on deviantarthq”, stylised painting, sea monster looks like ship, 3 1, not going anywhere. oil painting, trending on pixart”, underwater ink env, dark dingy, 3 0

It captured the mood, but those hulks, sadly, are not the Wolf.

The quest continues.

I can never have any peace. Everyone hates me now at work 🥲 I hate being in charge some days.

I think I posted about getting a Remarkable? Worst name ever I feel embarrassed even writing it so I will call it the rmk.

it’s surprisingly pleasant to use as that infinite notebook, and I’ve found it astoundingly useful at work, like writing/drawing/mapping matrix shit out (or difficult emails) before going to computer.

for writing, though, I’m of two minds. I picked an old concept one shot (a 9k txl) and managed to long-hand write a full zero draft soooo easily. No distraction, good flow, no pain; the ability to add notes at random times; the ability to add a sentence or two in boring overlong meetings…so the zero draft one shot felt like a pure success, such absolute ease of writing. but then I get stuck: the only thing I can do to get that draft a step closer to a post is fully re-type it out on the computer, which took me three of my available night blocks anyway and with very little improvement/edit.

I could possibly improve my handwriting, ‘text to type’ it in the rmk, then email my computer a PDF and copy-paste into word…but then I’m stuck on the computer again anyway.

I could ‘text to type’ it in the rmk and *only* edit it within the rmk , then do the pdf copy-paste only when I’m ready to post - but tbh the editing capabilities for word processing are fairly poor.

and then comes the issue of multichaps. I thought, ‘all right, my handwritings a lost cause on this one for text to type to test that ‘edit and finalise on rmk’ workflow…so let’s try fixing one of these languishing unfinished chapters I have…’ but I can’t get an editable doc from computer to rmk. Only PDF. So I’m not gonna fully re write something just to edit it on the rmk, and you can’t split screen so you can’t even flick back and forth to make that rewrite on the device easier.

then the final issue being, I have no idea how you’d actually write a multichap on this, because I neeeeed to flick back and forth. Does this idea belong here or there or in the future? Did I say that already? Idek! And so again: limited ability to deal with complex story structures.

so yeah, a success at work, a success at actually giving me *back* some time for writing (it’s such a delightfully comfortable thing to use with longhand, and that zero draft really was a fluid pleasure to write - can use at playground, at table, on couch watching kids) but *only* limited to well defined, well visualised one-shots that can be zero-drafted, and at some point there’s a duplication of effort or a transfer barrier that causes delay anyway.
