Radiocaster: It's a fair question to ask when the missing tail tag gets applied to a lot of images that reasonably excluded the tail. Like if it's just a headshot, where's the tail gonna come in? Is she scratching her noggin with it?
Radiocaster: when i was a kid i used to say to my dad “dad” and he would go “yes maam katia managan” and i would just open my mouth and point in it and wait for him to pour beans in there
Radiocaster: I also find it rich that this image is licensed as CC-BY. Did you add that tag yourself, Mahyar? Do you think that means that an AI service using your image as part of their dataset should credit you? Because let me tell you, they don't, and that means you have no way of crediting whatever image it pulled from either. How does the saying go? Rules for thee, but not for me?
Radiocaster: It's about the principle of the thing. You fail to understand the point being made about the background's simplicity. You could have made it manually, I could have made it manually, anyone here could have made it manually, so why didn't you? Why did you take a controvserial shortcut when the real thing would have not only been good and easy pratice, but would also avoid this entire issue in the first place? You have nothing to gain and something to lose by using it for something so unimportant in such an uncaring manner. And at the end of the day, no matter what justification you give, you can't argue against the clear negative effects caused by the trillion-dollar AI industry that you show complacency with by using their services. The polluting datacenters being forced into our communities, the countless stolen artworks and images that us artists never consented to, the displacement of people's real talent and effort, the degredation of people's mental health and work ethic as they now have unadulterated access to a digital yes-man that you so kindly demonstrate is apparently hard to get away from. Your logic is inconsistent and your disdain is pitiful, have a nice day.
Radiocaster: You used AI for the simplest, most straightforward part of the image, didn't bother to disclose that usage at all before we called you out for it, and you're confused as to why we might find that to be dishonest and lazy? Your statements about wanting to improve your own skill ring hollow when you deflect criticism and continue to use AI for things that don't even make any sense to use it for. Going down your same line of logic, why use AI to make a simple background when you could easily learn how to do it yourself, thereby improving your skills more efficiently?
Radiocaster: It's not very clockable, but there are some weird things about it. What's up with her pointy bat ears? Why are the pixel elements scaled so poorly? Why is there shading on her neck but nowhere else? Why is the color bleeding onto the shovel? What do the motion lines to the left convey? Why does it look so different to the one original work that Mahyar has posted previously? Most line gaps are excusable, but what about the huge one on the side of her head? How can I trust the uploader who has uploaded AI stuff to the booru before? I'm not calling it, but it's not a great look.
Radiocaster: Note: I had to slightly simplify the overlay shading to fit it within the booru's filesize limit, the original can be found at the Newgrounds source link. This piece was inspired by how the rainwater gushes through my street during heavy weather because it's a giant slope. Also because I thought it would be cute for them to share an umbrella.
Radiocaster: I feel like trying to describe the facial expression naturally leads you to assume that her face is expressing a specific emotion that is readily apparent, when this is really the kind of expression someone would make in response to something else that isn't featured in the picture. In other words, if she was posing for a photo with a similar lack of context, and you asked her what expression she made, she'd probably say "I don't know".
Radiocaster: I wanted to do something fun and challenge myself a little bit. This piece was done start-to-finish in the span of around 6 hours with no pose references.
Radiocaster: I give this a solid 8/10: it's simple, clean, and cute, just as a good button should be, not that there was actually a specific quality requirement (mine was thrown together in an hour or two at most, after all). The questionable tag is a courtesy to users who might not want to see suggestive content (or are checking the booru at the office instead of working), not really some kind of magic cross. The booru doesn't have a problem with actual explicit content, both because rulebreakers are rare, and because we have report buttons and moderators who don't mind seeing a pee pee. Kaz doesn't really talk a lot to begin with; he's actually cold-shouldering the whole booru most of the time lol. If I had to give you any social advice, it would be to avoid using double line-breaks as period. It makes your comments more spammy than you're likely intending them to be. Even just combining the lines down to a paragraph or two would make your speech less abrasive.
Radiocaster: Kit's just never seen a hobo. Katia is living her best life there. She's got all the books she can read and all the semi-sweet cardboard box she can eat. Now that's true heroism. She's on a fetch quest! A quest to fetch some Zs! So uh, keep it down will ya
Radiocaster: I’ve been playing a lot of Wolfenstein recently, so these catacombs are inspired by places like the prison in The Old Blood. Thank you Professor Kazerad-san for drawing Stephane from more angles. I tried to accentuate his chin more better-er this time.
Radiocaster: Prequel characters in Nightmare Reaper. TamLin helped me re-draw Quill-Weave's head to be less gormless. I was originally going to just have Katia and Nah standing together, but I thought it made more sense if Nah was the weapon doctor you can find in the game. My next project will hopefully be the next page of Malachite Deathknight so stay tuned for that.
Radiocaster: @kat-uno: It's actually spelled "pastime". It's confusing because we might think it's an alternate form of the phrase "to pass time", but it's not spelled the same way.
