@GlasssShine What does adding pop have to do with the baking soda?

@NKira24 for me, best exercise was from a prof: draw an image. spend 1hr daily redrawing it. spend 2~3hrs redrawing it over and over. continue until you can reliably redraw the exact same image. then and only then, focus on speeding up while keeping the image consistent and unchanged.

@NKira24 practice.

learn to draw your line right the first time, don't try to discover the right line. eraser means you have room to improve. direct more time thinking to get it right the first time.

@runellesimonton @Ott_TheOtter NYC 10 years ago, had a furry population of about 50,000 furs, growing slowly from 2008. thousands of cliques and subgroups. the largest group I knew of was 60 people. most hung out on their own 10 person furry social circles. I can't imagine that's changed.

@runellesimonton @Ott_TheOtter NY had tons of 15 year olds going to small furry events and meetups with adults from 96 through at least 2011. it's how youth learn to be functional adults, by being exposed to, mentored, interacting with a variety of adults. like a normal community. NY

@CallistaKirin the arguments against AI align a lot with the arguments against photography, against photocopier, against color printers, ....

2nd art history spent three weeks covering the parallels. many arguments were identical in substance. cameras, printers, etc are all still used in art

@CallistaKirin art schools worldwide have been teaching and incorporating AI into university and graduate programs for 4 years now. Next year, the first batch of students graduate knowing no alternative. pro art shows incorporate AI.

@JinxTheAussie furry hiking group, furry camping, furry motorcycle maintenance weekend rides, furry bowling league, furry running / marathon training group, furry gardening group, furry professional development, the local furry off grid communication group seems cool, but so out of free time.

@davidthepurple @IntCyberDigest Google search said the same thing about the attack on Venezuela. for over a week it insisted it was misinformation and gave reason as to why it would never be th case. despite the govt confirming and all major news reporting it

@Macys how can we check prices?

[PacMantis @pacmantis2]

@hornedbun "returning money"
"repay"
"reimburse funds paid"
(whole bunch of Unicode character with near invisible spacing)
re fund or re fund.
"give back payment"
"compensation work not done"

sounds like a fun way to build vocab in channel

@arrowt 2003, FC was like crazy huge, with just over 1000 people. so much fun , and put the idea of moving after college to California in my head.

@DustyPumpking This is what is being taught at Savannah college of art and design. professional artists are teaching us AI tool use in our classes, and how they incorporate the tools in their process.

@59Quinten nothing to steal. it's not original.

"be photorealistic 3D” for the more solid look.
add "shaved body matches fur color" for the clean muscled look.

all generic stuff they teach in art school the last year and a half.

[PacMantis @pacmantis2]

@59Quinten Google Pro.
"update to be photorealistic. no illustration, no graphic, only exaggerated disproportionate photorealistic anthro. Must not alter silhouettes. Must not alter hair style. Must maintain facial expression. Background and shading must be photo like."
