I've never wanted something so bad like I want this in my life!

Karanja the black rhinoceros also includes several red-billed oxpeckers on his body, which can be easily attached using a key-in mechanism.

I'm trying to find a good color scheme. Right now I have evil gremlin from gremlins and albino.

I'm starting to get afraid of how used I've become to use .psb instead of .psd for all of my works. Everything is getting too big now! Huge files galore!

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

Trying out a lighting scheme and some early color exploration. All in all I think this coming along just fine. I honestly can't understand anyone who would want to outsource this experience to AI. It's like building a robot to eat your pie while you sit on the cuck chair.

@pv_hristov You are totally right. 3D printing is the last new tech that I can remember that I thought was cool. Some real futuristic stuff that is actually useful.

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

Have we had any new actually useful technology lately? I'm always afraid of being nostalgic or just angry, but I feel like I haven't seen anything worthwhile in quite a while. I miss being impressed by technology, everything is just boring lately.

@Diesol I see. So you have slop and you have premium slop. Or should it be called gourmet slop? Expensive slop. Slop with artificial flavor. Slop but we pretend it's not slop.

Just grab your cellphone and put all your money on whatever you have insider information on!

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

C'mon everybody, let's go bet, I mean, predict some markets! What will the pope have for lunch? When will the next missile hit a school? What's in that dumpster, rotting food or a dead baby? It's all good clean fun! And profitable! I bet, I mean, predict that you'll love it.

I think my brain might be reaching its storage limit. I need to delete some stuff and open up some space.

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

It's certainly not what we wanted, but it might be what we deserve. A modern god for a post-truth world.

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

The more I think about AI the more I see parallels to the concept of an idiot god. A agglomeration of information and knowledge without an inkling of understanding. Just a sea of lies and truths regurgitate by a stupid "entity" incapable of differentiate between them.

@commentiquette Divide by zero

I think this guy would look cool as a puppet. If only I had the knowledge to do that. Welp, at least I can fake it in 2D

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

Heyo! Come see me at #LBX2026
I mean, there will be more than just me there, and you don't even have to come see me at all if you don't want to, but hey! I'll be there! Drop by why don't cha.

I need to trim my beard... Sometimes life is so unfair... Can't my beard just stop growing? So unfair...

[Roberto Ribeiro Padula @BoneKrishna]

I'm not a fan of driving.

Here's a peek at what I'm working on right now. I haven't been the most productive lately, but I feel like this one has potential. I'm painting my own version of a Kappa! Trying hard not to mess it up!
