Digital artist who infrequently can scrape enough energy to create stuff. I like to escape with art and draw cute anthros.

  • Favorite deck is definitely Anaglyph, no question. The feeling of hitting several negative tags is just far too fun for me, but obviously it gives you much more flexibility for skipping to really turn around something you’re behind on (like economy as you mentioned). I also like Ghost deck a lot given the free polychrome, and the unique ability to get spectral cards in the shop.

    I think people hating on Black deck is pretty much the norm, so I’ll say another one that bothers me is Nebula deck. It’s not even that it’s particularly super hard as much as it is that I can’t stand only having one consumable until maybe Crystal Ball shows up as a voucher. I want to collect tarots to utilize in the shop before opening a tarot pack, so I have to hold one fewer card. I want to gamble on High Priestess and Emperor sometimes (or maybe just pump numbers up for Constellation or Fortune Teller), but they are way less useful. Sometimes I’ll just take one absent-mindedly and then realize, that’s right, I’m on dumb Nebula deck and only get one card roll. Sometimes I want to hold onto a copy of the fool and utilize a blue seal, or maybe two blue seals, and I can’t do that either. Ante 1 telescope voucher is not worth this price.

    As for Erratic deck, I was expecting a lot more than what it actually is because I guess I didn’t consider probability properly. Most of the time when I check the deck for any given seed I get a somewhat even suit spread with all cards somewhere between like 2-6 in quantity. I already reset for an actually useful small blind skip tag, no way I’m also tacking on significantly more for a much more rare interesting Erratic deck.




  • Don’t forget Mastodon! We’re already here on Lemmy after all, may as well mention the properly federated alternative too.

    Also want to piggy back because if this is a sona, do you (OP) have a clear idea of what you are or look like? The more time you spend figuring these things out, writing detailed stuff down, making crude sketches or perhaps editing bases, the more likely whoever it is that you speak with will be able to bring your idea and identity to life. Whatever mediums work best to help you visualize your sona, will also help the person drawing it. In this way, both of you have less headache making changes, or being dissatisfied with results.






  • Do you accept shitty, half-assed, sticky-note doodles?

    Doodle and story behind it

    Sticky note doodle of a crudely drawn anthro fox, Foxfire. He is smiling and waving.

    I drew this doodle after getting another from a different artist. A little over a year ago, an artist I was following decided to put up a small sticker shop, so I went ahead and got one to show her a little support. The sticker was nice enough when it arrived of course, but alongside it was a personal thank you doodle from her. That gesture of a pure and personal desire to communicate through art is something I treasure dearly. To this day, that doodle is stuck to my computer desk alongside the sticker, and I’m gonna hold onto that little doodle for the rest of my life if I can.

    At the time, the doodle inspired me to try and very quickly make something of my own. In my head I imagined maybe spending a minute or so without erasing anything, so I ended up with this. Despite the result, I love seeing it, and I actually stuck him on my door. It was never about the quality, but about the events, emotions, and process that lead to what I expressed. When I see it, I am reminded of that fact every day. I do not lament art being “bad,” I am grateful for everyone who wishes to express themselves through art.

    I’m amazed most sites would even let you tbh, so many seem to have arbitrary cutoffs well before 128 from my experience (kinda silly given you’re sending a hash, not the data itself). I also have to log into computer systems at work from time to time, which obviously I’m not using my keepass file for. Beyond that though yeah, it’s largely just the keepass master password for me too, and my login for my computer itself.

    Thank you!



  • Yeah moderation is the toughest part, especially considering this is a very general “just post whatever” community. Especially as it continues to get less obvious, I’d hate to see AI witch-hunt type comments against either actual artists, or maybe a random person dropping a saved meme they didn’t even realize was generated themselves. For a place I mod which is largely populated by art posts (furry_irl) I opted to require artist credit in the title or post body when applicable, but that seems like it could be a bit tedious for 196.

    I think the best case would be something like “we reserve the right to remove posts we believe are machine generated,” but also “do not attack others about it, discuss tactfully, send reports for posts you reasonably believe are generated instead for moderator discretion.”


  • Honestly if you have a tablet for long enough, the marks on the surface become pretty evident. Before my cheap huion tablet of several years finally gave out, parts of it felt like drawing on top of a vinyl record because the marks were so numerous and dug through the surface. In a way it was pretty cool to think about the amalgamation of all the strokes I ever used to create so many different things, all overlayed on top of one another onto a single “page.”





  • Yeah that’s totally fair. I was trying to steelman the position of the prompting being a labor of love through intensive writing, because I felt that granting this falls flat, and seemingly treats writing as unworthy compared to a purely generated visual interpretation. I entirely grant that in reality, a prompt is about as creative as placing an order in a restaurant.


  • I think this question sidesteps something even more fundamental. Pouring your heart and soul into describing a world through words is creative writing, and obviously has artistic merit in and of itself. Why is creative writing such an apparently unworthy art form, that all of that effort would be better off tossed into the trash, and replaced by a machine generation based upon it instead?

    If you genuinely have the desire and capacity to write in depth about worlds, and things that happen within them, simply posting that writing would be wonderful. Visual mediums are not the end all be all of artistic expression, or human communication in general. I write comments and express my ideas through words all the time, and I appreciate when humans do the same for me in return.
