Very normal cosplayer, artist, and doll-maker from Scotland.
Dicking about in an airport for five hours would be much more enjoyable with a friend.

if you're using AI to do what you were already doing with Google search and art books... why the hell wouldn't you just keep doing that instead of investing in a shitty infrastructure that does it worse?

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

They say a hottest thing a man can do is be pathetic (and have a dagger at his throat for good measure)

I always had a soft spot for characters that ended up as a footnote.
Here is Tindómiel daughter of Elros. Who's name means "Morningstar"
Do you think Elrond named his daughter "Eveningstar" to remember that part of family that went beyond his reach?

Moth Melian.
Do you people headcanon her as a maia of Yavanna, Vána, or Estë? Or all or two of them? Sometimes she is said to be of Yavanna, who she is compared to, other times Vána and Estë.

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.
allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace
