Eurgh She Needs A Name

Jared's friend-slash-pillow now has colour.

He is 19 and I have not yet chosen a name.

Here, have sad old men

"Kalenne" (first) and "Maizze" (second)

it's not 'AI art has no soul' because soul is subjective and creating art is not necessarily a divine spark of inspiration, sometimes human made art is empty of feeling and meaning and that's okay.

it's not 'AI art is ugly' because human made art doesn't need to be pretty, it's still art, no matter if you're starting or if you intentionally make ugly things. It's still okay.

The problem, with AI art (besides the copyright theft, the environmental issues, the artists losing their jobs..)

The problem is that

AI art lacks INTENT

When a human makes something, every part of the creation is a decision made. Why this line, why this color, why this word, why this stitch, why this note.

They may be good decisions, bad decisions, it doesn't matter. The end result is something with thought, and this is why we appreciate art. There is the surface, and underneath, there is an ocean of decisions made by the artist.

AI art has no intent.

Yes, they will type prompts for a general idea. And they will pick a result.

But there is no thought about poses, colors, lines, backgrounds, details, negative space, lighting, texture, framing, etc.

Becoming a good artist means to understand these decisions and align them to make the result you want.

AI art will pick through millions of those decisions made by other people and will stick them together without meaning or reason, so they lose their intended purpose. This is why people think AI art is empty, that it has no 'soul'. Because there is no thought process behind it.

We should stop comparing human and AI art by using words like "better" or "worse". People will always have different opinions.

But as a human, I am more interested in things made by other humans, because I can observe all those tiny decisions, I can relate to some, be surprised by some, dislike some, it's all good.

Art is people communicating.

AI art has nothing to say.

I have a banger user in mind I'm just thinking on it make sure it's right. clock boy

yknow I get really nervous typing the word clock

hey

I'm rebranding I'm not a skeleton anymore I'm a clock. anyway I still have yet to change my username but that's. not my problem yet

Okay. Okay update time on this. Some things. Heads up this is just kind of me rambling/noting down my current thoughts about what I want to do

(Rambles below the thingy)

I've been thinking, and yeah, I really want to do something with that story. That world/story I'm talking about in the og post is.... something! It's the backstory of a silly self-insert-oc of mine, and is not only extremely self-indulgent, but there's probably more missing and contradictory details than there is ACTUAL plot😬

The thing is, however, I hold that batch of characters very dear to me as I've had some of them since, like... late 2021, I'd say? And some of the main story concepts have also been around that long and longer. Because of this, I'm not only DESPERATE to share these guys with the world, but... also too attached to them and their stories to change around the canon a bunch.

What I plan on doing at some point is having two versions of the story that are essentially the same as fandoms making "AU"s. I'll have the revised version with a proper story that I can make into some sort of webcomic or whatever I want, and I'll keep the OG, inconsistent, poorly-written self-insert version as my own personal "AU" that I can have to just be silly with.

My god. I have this one world/story I wanna make a webcomic about so much but the timeline is SO BAD like it's not even funny. Way too many missing details in the worldbuilding and plot holes and contradictory stuff... agrrhgg

This is why I started making flow charts for my plots. It helps me realize everything I messed up. Me consulting my flowchart to make sure my story is coherent

MORE doodle concepts

I should get to sleep eugh it's so late but er anyway here's an old man I dislike incredibly

Initials r A.H ofc, the full name is poorly scribbled as I'm not sure whether to change it...

Me after writing a book about why I hate birds because they have wings /lore reference

Buttload of Tone doodles from today... and a mother figure

+ "This is what happens when you only have experience with non-living electronics"

And also what they probably did when he got his screen working after that (as it was broken before)

Haven't drawn him lately but I absolutely NEEDED to post about him. Get outta my heaaaddddddd

ennea is a prefix meaning nine (my favourite/special/lucky number). tone is from dialtone as in phones, but is also meant to combine with the A in ENNEA to be ATONE. just sounded cool. added the ring to make it more unique and not get me confused for being a musician because it's similar to "enneatonic"

the idea of using ennea in the title also comes from a concept I had of a story involving my little persona character
