Maybe, but I zoomed in and took a close look before I posted.

Digital paper texture is just “noise” so tends to look a certain kind of way and I don’t see evidence of that here.

The other thing is how the ink bleeds into the paper. When I zoom in, it looks to me like real ink bleeding into fibers.

All that said, I could still be wrong, it’s actually really hard to tell (the crayon looks sus). But I still think it’s real paper.

Unfortunately we’ll probably never actually know :(

I think this is ironically drawn on paper w felt tip and crayon. Nice touch. Great drawing, too.

These are adorable.

It’s acrylic and 175 x 282 cm, or about 6’ x 9’.

Amazing vibrant colors and deep blacks, just gorgeous. I wonder if it’s that explosive in person?

Thanks for sharing.

Man, look at the line work in those original comic panels then compare them to pretty much any modern comic (book or gag), where almost all line work gets filtered through Apple or Adobe Corps. Real shame.

EDIT: I didn’t mean to shame digital artists. Digital artists are amazing pioneers doing things artists fifty years ago could only dream of.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our modern idea of illustrative brush strokes being filtered through those two corporation’s algorithms, how those algorithms were originally intended to imitate the real thing, and how artists actually use them in practice. That’s what I was eluding to really poorly.

My bad for sounding like a rude dick.

Haha, those silly weirdos!

Anyways, here’s a video of a huge crowd cheering on an anonymous masked man as he eats an entire tub of cheese balls.

Sure. We’ll just have a nice nap while the Christo-fascists take over the World’s most powerful nuclear state. At least they’ll know we took the high road!

So is Altered Beast III !

Well, I hated reading that. Thanks a lot.

This is just not true and courts have ruled the opposite of what you’re spewing for ages.

EDIT: To elaborate, you’re basically saying Congress needs to micromanage everything. It’s absurd. This was settled a loooong time ago. This is a naked power grab by an illegitimate, corrupt institution, nothing more.

It’s no more absurd than somehow sleeping outside is illegal. It boggles the fucking mind.

Well, that’s it. Art is dead.

I understand. You are correct that, in the right context, pretty much any word can be offensive or insulting to someone. So I consider it my responsibility, once I am aware of this context, to try to be inclusive because I like to have as diverse a group of people around me as possible, it builds strength.

So if “Krita” ended up being derogatory to Russians or Egyptians or whatever, I would absolutely be cautious about that, yes. Especially if I was working with kids.

I mean, just because you don’t care doesn’t mean nobody does.

If I was running a school where students with physical challenges attended, I would not feel comfortable asking them to use software called Gimp, so I would just avoid it.

That said, I would avoid it anyways in favor of Krita, I’m just saying.

I bet Master Roshi would wear a helmet. Wtf, Arnie?

So, did it work?

Honestly, it’s less about trusting Microsoft than the inherently flawed nature of a closed source operating system. There’s no way a user can tell what’s really going on behind the curtain. Maybe that was okay before, but I think the capabilities of AI have pushed us past that point.
