Happy National Women's day

I wanted to sketched a robot trains females. I love these girls (even Genie somehow, but still)

Now go and wish these women and the little girl all the best/lhj

(Also some spoilers for the others designs as humans)

Finally

After all those years

Here

Enjoy

Humanization by an unknown artist(at least i don't know them)

(Hanging, blood, death)

The other 8 of the Robot Trains Danganronpa AU:

The name of the execution is : The Final Model

I'll be happy to answer any questions about this AU

(Minor amount of blood)

And now: Danganronpa! AU (8/16 done)

I couldn't quite think of an ultimate for Selly, Stella, Gary, Duck and Maxie, so I just went with what I think would suit them.

Also, Kay has no idea about Luna being the mastermind since they don't share memories

Heart Symbolism in Train World

Ok guys, so I was thinking about something. In Train World we see several instance of the stylized heart ( ❤️ ) . It is interesting to consider the meaning and origins of this symbol in Train World, considering that trains are mechanical and do not have an anatomical heart. 

Meanings/Uses:

On the health read-out that Robot Trains are able to see over their field of vision, there is a heart ❤️ symbol above their energy level indicator. 

This would suggest that the heart symbol does have some health or anatomical connotations even in Train World. That could also explain why a heart motif is incorporated in to Selly’s design, because she is essentially a doctor/diagnoses and repairs other trains. 

It’s curious to see that the arm of the gate to The Garden Area also has a heart symbol. 

There is also a heart symbol on the book Selly reads in an effort to better understand Janne’s perspective in “Janne and Kay”. In this episode, the book seems to be about interpersonal relationships. 

(Gary can often be seen reading a similar looking book in season 2, but it has not improved his interpersonal skills and he sometimes reads it upside down). 

It would seem that the heart symbol in Train World has a broad usage similar to how it is used in our world -- representing a wide array of topics related to both health and emotions. 

But why? Is it a symbol that has been passed down from humans of the past? Or is there a different explanation? 

Here, in the right hand side, we can see a full schematic of Duke: 

There’s nothing in there quite like an anatomical human heart but, if you look closely, you can see that the red blinking indicator light for the engine would sit roughly where the human heart would. 

Let’s look more closely at some more engines. 

Well, you can see that they’re shaped roughly like an inverted trapezoid. It would not be much of a stretch to stylize the over all shape of the engine or the inverted triangle indicator light into a  ❤️ shape. It makes about as much sense as representing an anatomical human heart that way. 

Hearts representing an engine would explain their use on the energy level indicators and would also support the idea that they have a medical connotation in Selly’s design. 

And, because the engines actually are the location of their software/A.I., trains’ engines could more accurately be thought of as centers of emotion than a human heart could.

When AI takes on Eurovision: Can a computer write a hit song?

Enlarge /

Robots are everywhere these days.

Imagine assembling a crack team of musicologists to compose the perfect Eurovision hit, only to end up with a song that crescendos as a robotic voice urges listeners to “kill the government, kill the system."

That was the experience of a team of Dutch academics who, after an experiment in songwriting using artificial intelligence algorithms, inadvertently created a new musical genre: Eurovision Technofear.

The team—Can AI Kick It—used AI techniques to generate a hit predictor based on the melodies and rhythms of more than 200 classics from the Eurovision Song Contest, an annual celebration of pop music and kitsch. These included Abba’s “Waterloo” (Sweden’s 1974 winner) and Loreen’s “Euphoria” (2012, also Sweden).

But to generate the lyrics for the song “Abuss," which they hoped to enter in the inaugural AI Song Contest this year, the team also used a separate AI system—one based on the social-media platform Reddit. It was this that resulted in a rallying cry for a revolution.

Like the notorious Tay chatbot developed by Microsoft in 2016 that started spewing racist and sexist sentiments after being trained on Twitter, the fault lay with the human sources of data, not the algorithms.

“We do not condone these lyrics!” stresses Janne Spijkervet, a student who worked with Can AI Kick It and ran the lyric generator. She says the Dutch team nevertheless decided to keep the anarchist sentiment to show the perils of applying AI even to the relatively risk-free environment of europop.

An Australian entry has the same sheen of a chart-topping dance hit but with a distorted AI-generated chorus of koalas, kookaburras and Tasmanian Devils

The use of AI in music composition is now on the cusp of the mainstream as more musicians and songwriters look for tools that inspire different types of music. The AI Song Contest, organised by Dutch broadcaster VPRO, is one of the first events to take the process of using algorithms to compose original music out of academia and avant-garde experimentation and into the commercial world.

The competition is inspired by Eurovision and has gained greater prominence since the cult event, which was due to take place in Rotterdam this month, was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The European Broadcasting Union, which organises the 64-year-old contest, has endorsed the computer-based version and will act as a vote supervisor.

The AI version is a much smaller affair, with only 13 entries in its first incarnation (compared with the 41 countries that were due to compete in Rotterdam). However the quirks of the original contest have come to the fore in the AI world as well. Alongside “Abuss," which its creators describe as atonal and creepy, sits an Australian entry with the same sheen as a chart-topping dance hit but with a distorted subliminal AI-generated chorus of koalas, kookaburras and Tasmanian Devils.

Meanwhile, the song “I’ll Marry You, Punk Come," composed by German team Dadabots x Portrait XO, used seven neural networks in its creation. The resulting piece of music blends lyrics from babble generated from 1950s acapella music with AI-generated death-metal vocal styles and a chromatic bass line spat out of a neural network trained on Bach’s canon.

The contest will be judged along the same lines as the established competition with a public vote tallied against the opinions of a panel of expert judges. Ed Newton-Rex, who founded the British AI compositional start-up Jukedeck, is one of them. He explains that the panel will be looking at the process of how machine learning was applied as well as creative uses of algorithms—such as the “koala synth”—and the quality of the song. The judges will also be asked to factor “Eurovisioness” into their thinking, although he admits, “I have no idea what that means.”

VPRO does not expect “billions of people” to tune into the event but says that many Eurovision fans will follow the livestreamed announcement of the winner on May 12. The hope is that the computer version could itself prove a hit and pave the way for AI to influence Eurovision proper through song composition or, over time, robotic performance. “That is my dream,” says Karen Van Dijk, the VPRO producer who came up with the concept.

Very cool and cute sketches. The Duke one is my favourite, not gonna lie. He looks so evil yet awesome too. I also how you include Kay and Janne too, they look so sweet together. The X family one is hillarious :DD. Good job on these sketches :).

Some RT-related sketches!

You know already

Anybody would like That human Janne? Yes i know nobody will

Couple of Mirrors (Sellanne AU)

The show A couple of Mirrors is about a young innocent woman named You Yi who is a successful author, but finds betrayal in the two people she trusts the most, but finds refuge in friendship and support of Yan Wei, a young photographer, who hides a deadly secret.

So, basically, Janne is You Yi and Selly Yan Wei.

Roleswap Selly doodles

Roleswap!Selly takes the role of Duke in this au, and I love it???? Just imagine this pink train trolly destroying the train world like- that's some Tanya level there.

[sellyripley]

Good answers! 

Agreed on Kay (season one ofc lol), I have complicated feelings towards him but tbh he’d be my first runner up for a kiss, after Duke lol) 

Jeffrey would be a cool uncle or dad to have (even though he did kick me out of Train World in my dream that one time…) 

Aww, poor Janne XD hahaha

Thanks for the answer!

For the Kiss/Kin/Kill game: Jeffrey, Kay, Janne XD

Kiss: Season1!Kay duh! Boy deserves a smoochie after all the crap he's been through

Kin: Jeffrey! His gravity powers were one of the coolest and I have a soft spot for mentor types!

Kill: Sorry Janne but you weren't really that relevant anyways lol

[dooniichez]

I had to do this

I'm slowly getting into fire emblem and I thank my friend on discord for that.

I decided to do Selly as (F) Byleth and Janne as Edelgard.

[dooniichez]

YURI AND YAOI!!!!!

I haven't drawn the fankiddies in a hot minute, especially not ChiPenny and KyoHal
