sometimes the moral of the story really is just "you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it's still going to be okay" huh
Art Critic: the skull in the corner is artfully placed on the periphery of vision to symbolise the omnipresence of death, important thematically to the artist’s conception of life and mortality.
Actual Artist: aw shit, I got all this negative space, guess I’ll stick a skull there that looks pretty rad.
adhd paralysis sucks bcuz im just sitting there and my brain is like
YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME
no work done no rest gained. literally no point of this at all
One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.
This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"
All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.
So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".
I've missed drawing my dear husband Stanley, so here's some screenshots redraws of him

Stanford Pines as a mage from Dragon Age! Part of my Veil Falls AU
Design breakdowns:
Text:
Stanford Pines - Shan'Dirth Aenadahl
Rift mage / Veil Jumper
Shan - old, Dirth - speech/talk, Aenadahl - Pine tree
Design Notes:
Dirthamen Vallaslin: Dalish god of secrets and knowledge
Vallaslin was altered by Bill which was later burned off by Ford
Also a trained artificer
Attire is mainly elven, with Kirkwall design details (see belt buckle/belts)
Staff is not his original, rather made while he was stuck in the Fade
left eye is green/yellow due to Bill's possession
Missed literally everything that has happened in the first two games
Journal 3
Triangles represent Bill and the Veil/Fade similar to the murals
Notes on Elven murals across Thedas
Veil mural markings
He's Bob!
