Bad Art - Blog Posts
It's been a while so here's a (not really a) wip. I'm not going to work on it anymore.
Sorry, it's ocs and not Moxie Mallahan or Nicholas from HFWU. And for the long post.
Originally, they were witches, but now they're supposed to be a villian couple. A Be Gay, Do Crime tribute.

Police lights / Regular shading (not complete):
Unnecessary info, if you want to know more about them + the drafts:
Clearer text cause the handwriting is👎
Elowen is a tall woman with dyslexia. On the left, she's portrayed as a witch with straight hair, pure white eyes (no irises), and practices absorption magic. On the right, Elowen is with more waiver hair and a staff in hand as a villian.
Neveah is a short person who likes to garden in their free time. On the left, they're shown as a witch with bangs that cover their (black) eyes and practices rune magic. On the right, Neveah has a sword and has a stronger personality than og. They like weird skirts.

Imagine this- Invader Zim, except Zim is genuinely just a senial old man and Dib is just a delusional kid.
Dib, who is just SO CONVINCED that there’s no way this old guy is human. And he comes to visit the retirement home all the time just to “foil Zim’s evil plans” when in reality all Dib is doing is stopping the old man from like- Escaping or causing old people havoc. Dib is lowkey still neglected in this universe, but like his dad isn’t some crazy famous scientist. I think he just works a really good position for like- Microsoft or something- So a little less weird than canon yk? As for Dibs weird alien claims on Zim- The old man lowkey just lets it progress just to fuck around with the kid.
And Zim? Well personality wise he basically the same. He might be like- An old war veteran who’s in denial about his so-called “Feats” in the army- And thinks his pals still wanna hang out with him when in reality their all either dead or total assholes to him. So he’s not THAT different- So Dib and Zim still have that kind of banter, And it’s the same sort of cat and mouse bond that they share in canon, although a whole lot more wholesome in some aspects.
There’s also Gir, who is Zims grandnephew who he basically treats like a little slave but it’s kinda adorable. And the nurses of the home find it sweet that the 12 year old Dib takes time out of his day to visit the old kook- who basically lost almost all his family a long time ago. (Also, the distraction is quite a spectacle) there would be other characters introduced- But the main basis is that mostly Irkens are now just old people in the home- Like Skoodge, Tak, Red and Purple etc. stuff like that. I just thought this would be silly tbh. Bro really has beef with an old man, what a loser lol-
Best part is, you can’t ship them in this AU unless you wanna make it creepy- And why would you? lol might be controversial but here I am.
Tidbit:
Gaz: Maybe the reason nobody wants to talk to you is because your only friend is an old guy who smells like sweaty beans and bleach.
Dib: He is NOT my friend! He is my SWORN ENEMY!
Gaz: That’s even worse.
Some crappy doodles to accompany this goofiness, pardon my handwriting it is in fact hot garbage-
Don’t have enough Saru lately so I drew my own
I like the saying, "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." Especially when it comes to creative things. While AI is fine in some regards. I'll admit that I used AI to write cover letters when I was applying for jobs because those are the absolute bane of my existence. And even then, I had to check it over and edit what it wrote. But with things like creative writing and art, there's just naturally a human element to it that a mechine can't replicate. Art comes from who you are and how you see the world. It's an expression of you. AI can't do that. And besides that, what we have isn't really AI. It's machine learning. Pattern recognition. It can note common elements and remix them into something that on the surface looks like art, but there's no deeper meaning. There's no happy little accidents.
I think we get so caught up in this world where there's always some end goal, and everything seems to demand 110% out of you all the time. But that's not what art is. You can half ass art, and it's still art. It doesn't even need to be profound. In fact, art is a lot like being alive. It's never going to be perfect. And that's fine. For me, I don't write to make something perfect or profound. The highest level of praise I can get is seeing someone react to my work. Laughing. Crying. Anything.
We've used art to say "we were here" since humans started humaning. And handing that off to something as cold as a pattern recognition software just feels disingenuous. I'd rather see a handprint smacked against a wall than some cold amalgamation spit out by something that will never understand what it made. Half ass your art. Be bad at it. It's not about being the best anyway. It's about saying you were here. You were alive. That you had thoughts and feelings. And that's worth something. Even if it is done poorly.
Got bored in math again
whoops
Someone draw corn in this outfit
I’m so bad at this but I’m learning
This took way to long too make

I did not like it!
I have been trying out the AI capabilities to generate an image for my avatar. The result disappointed me:
This is not at all what I expected to see :(
He is not beautiful and dead without a soul.. I draw much better myself!
ai-drawer - this is an auxiliary tool for the artist, but only a living human artist can create a masterpiece :)
