And here are the remaining four completed images.

I have since learned I dislike (see: don't understand) gouache.

Ink and Digital are still my preferred mediums.

An image of Harry Mason from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, rendered (badly) in Gouache.

Anita Planert from Silent Hill: The Short Message, rendered okay-ish in gouache (I used it like watercolor).

Shimizu Hinako from Silent Hill: ƒ, rendered with ink and brush.

The Twin Victims from Silent Hill 4, rendered with brush and ink.

It's (finally) done.

I can finally relax. Time to run around silly in video games, watch spooky movies, and otherwise enjoy Halloween.

A fully filled-out Protagonists list of the Silent Hill franchise, most digital and some in traditional mediums.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.

People who see somebody's artwork then has the utter audacity to feed it into a genAI machine and then post the result under the original creator should be publicly flogged. And not in a metaphorical sense.

Part of me would want to bring in a comfort read (The Goblin Emperor).

Part of me would want a book to reflect my current situation and uphold my values (Soledad Brother).

Hard to say what's 'best' since I've never experienced imprisonment, and thus don't know what I'd need.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity has been cute.

And that's just the stuff I've been listening to repeatedly *recently.*

This doesn't even touch on my enjoyment of folk music, various flavors of EDM, random shit from Japan, etc. etc.

I actually think it's extremely good and healthy to experience art that makes you uncomfortable. discomfort is not equivalent to real, tangible harm. at the very least y'all should recognize uncomfortable art's right to exist, and to carry on with your life without making it everyone else's problem.

I had a thought last night.

If people scrape and trawl the internet for more art to feed into their AI generators, then isn't it my duty, my moral imperative, to make the most hideous, unpolished, ugly, gods-awful-to-look-at art that ever existed?

A black and white manga-esque rendition of Godrick the Grafted from Elden Ring, with four arms raised up in the fashion of the 'Absolute Cinema' meme, with that accompanying phrase placed in front of him.

Never heard of her.

But, also a genre of music I typically don't listen to, so, shrug?

TechnOkami @technokami.bsky.social · 17d

I was on the fence as to whether I wanted to buy it or not. This convinced me not to. Thank you for your insights.

I feel like there's a whole story here of why it's been delayed for so long and of something gone wrong with the 3rd game overall. Just unfortunate over all.

I respect doodles on binder paper more than I respect generative AI art.
