[DARK TOWER BOOK 7 SPOILERS] Did I really model and render a whole-ass scene just for a stupid meme to cope with getting to *that* part of the book? Yes. I do things like that sometimes. #TheDarkTower #Roland #Gunslinger #StephenKing #Meme #Blender #Books #Spoilers #BreakingBad #Hank

3D rendered recreation of "Walt screaming for Hank" meme with Leko in place of Walt in the back seat of a vehicle with a panicked expression on his face.

Text the render reads:
"ROLAND!!!
HE'S NOT DEAD! YOU NEED TO DOUBLE TAP THE SON OF A BITCH!!!
HE'S STILL ALIVE, ROLAND! HE STILL HAS HIS GUN!!!
ROLAAAAAAAAND!"

Machine Learning: Good. Solves problems. Does tedious things humans don’t want to do. Does them much faster. Generative AI: Bad. Chews up human-made creative work and vomits it out so lazy, talentless scumbags can lie and scam people. #FuckAI

Every story you hear about a language model "going rogue" and "hacking" is marketing bullshit. Literally all they do is regurgitate words to try and sound human. If an LLM is hacking, it's because it was given access and told to do something so the companies can act surprised. #FuckAI

Definitely having normal thoughts about that new Metroid thing. Totally normal. It sure does look like a normal game featuring a character I like a completely normal amount.

Leko The Robot @csleko.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It's a placeholder. It's not SUPPOSED to look good. Also isn't it kinda fun to have an excuse to draw badly on purpose? There are literally SO MANY reasons not to use generative AI. Just don't do it. Art is for humans. #FuckAI #AntiAI #GameDev #SupportHumanArtists

Comparison of a mockup fantasy game environment with two different methods of placeholder artwork. It is a generic castle hallway with a blue rug, a short table against a wall, and a large painting on the wall framed by lit torches.

Top: The painting on the wall is an AI-generated image of a knight fighting a dragon on a volcanic mountaintop. I did not generate this image, but took it from Google Images to use for an example.
Text:
AI Placeholder
-Appears too polished at a glance
-Already looks like it belongs in the scene
-Easy to mistake for final asset version
-People will get pissed if you accidentally leave it in

Bottom: The same scene, same angle, but the painting is now a terrible, sketchy, MSPaint looking drawing of a stick figure knight fighting a dragon that looks suspiciously like Trogdor the Burninator. There are a few scribbles of color, but it is predominantly black lines on white background.
Text:
Crappy Hand-drawn Placeholder
-Looks terrible on purpose
-Stands out IMMEDIATELY
-Unlikely to be mistaken for final asset
-Get to make stupid references and jokes nobody will ever see

Blender window of the mockup game scene showing that it is literally just a branching hallway with nothing around the corners or behind the camera. My customary "I didn't use AI" message is visible outside the boundaries of the hallway and says "ai sux lol -Leko"

Leko The Robot @csleko.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

If you need placeholders, DRAW CRAPPY STICK FIGURES IN MSPAINT. Don't use AI. Shitty placeholders stand out. I guarantee you will not forget to replace them with final assets later. If the AI-generated shit fits in too well, you WILL forget it's a placeholder, and people WILL get mad at you for it.

Leko The Robot @csleko.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

If you have to answer the AI disclosure with anything other than “NONE WAS EVER USED,” I don’t want your game. I don’t care what you used it for, at which stage, or if any of it is in the final product. Your project is tainted, it’s off the wishlist, and I’m telling my friends. #FuckAI #Gaming

This IS something that's always bugged me about morality systems. It's not fun being "evil" when it just translates to "be an irredeemable dick for no reason." Dark Leko doesn't join the assholes bullying the alien. He grabs the leader by the throat and throws him off the overpass.

So @kelto-eboroth.bsky.social is a NSFW alt account I intended to keep strictly separate from my main. It was compromised this morning and used to send out spam, so I have to drop the "that's not me" charade to warn people. I've secured it, but don't answer any DMs from the pervy evil wizard. #PSA

Screenshot of the "Kelto Eboroth" Bluesky account, which was recently compromised and used to send porn bot spam to random users. This was an NSFW 18+ art account that I made a distinct effort to distance from my main, and planned to maintain a level of deniability if anyone ever connected them. Unfortunately, this is a matter of safety, and keeping up the thin charade would be irresponsible.

Clone Wars style model of Zan, a green-skinned Mirialan bounty hunter with a ninja aesthetic.

He wears a long green coat with utility pouches on the shoulders and belt, a simple black shirt underneath, dark blue pants, and black gloves and boots. He also wears a black hood and a mask over the lower half of his face.

Unmasked, he has long messy black hair, with symmetrical Mirialan tattoos in the center of his brow, and directly underneath his eyes.

I mean it's cool and all, brain, but why did we work on this all day instead of actually finishing up the first chapter? #Art #OC #Blender #StarWars #FanFic #FanFiction #Writing #OCArt #3DModel #Tailii #OriginalCharacter

I made cover art instead of actually finishing up the first chapter. Or giving it a proper title. Tailii is sitting in a pose on top of her ship, the Rusty Magpie, the cockpit of which is visible behind her. She is smiling and looking up in the direction of the placeholder title. (STAR WARS: TITLE OF THE STORY: A PLACEHOLDER STORY)

There are 4 planets in the against a starry background bordered with blue nebula. The large blue and red planet directly behind Tailii is her homeworld, Sulon. Above and to the left of it is Coruscant.

Naming the other two planets would be giving away some spoilers. If I did a good job on the render, the top one might be identifiable.

Also Zan's ship, The Dragon's Shadow is zooming outward on the left side there.

It has come to my attention that 6,000+ words is indeed a lot. TIME TO MAKE SOME CUTS. SORRY, DARLINGS, BUT YOU'RE BLOATING THE CHAPTER. #fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc #editing

9 and a half pages of text comprising chapter 1 of my Star Wars fan fiction. Several parts are highlighted in red to indicate areas to trim down or cut altogether.

Holy crap, I actually finished writing a chapter. Is 6,000 words a lot? It feels like a lot. Also I never thought about what I'm actually going to call this damn thing... #fanfiction #fanfic #writing #starwars #oc

"...gripped the large silver lever tightly and pushed it forward. The stars ahead stretched into those familiar bright lines, and the Rusty Magpie flung itself into distant space."

The bars at the bottom of the window indicate that this is page 10 of 12 (the extra pages contain my vague outlined ideas for where the story is going) and the complete text of Chapter 1 is comprised of 6,372 words.

This is Garrla. She's been a friend of Tailii and her mother since they moved to Sulon. Tailii worked in her shop for a while where she picked up some mechanic skills. The two of them later helped Zan mod his ship. #OC #StarWars #Alien #Dowutin #FanFic #Fanfiction #Art #OCArt #OriginalCharacter

Concept for a female Dowutin OC named Garrla. Dowutin are enormous yellow ogre-like folks with big tusks on their chins. Garrla in particular is 9 feet tall. Bigger than average for her people, suggesting she must be hundreds of years old. She wears a brown utility apron with many pouches and pockets for tools, a dull orange sleeveless shirt that shows off her muscular arms, tan pants, grayish-blue gloves, and no shoes. The face closeup shows her grinning and showing off her sharp teeth.

Description in the image follows:
-Mechanic, owner of local spaceport and attached shop.
-Family friend of the Raisas. (Like a cool aunt to Tailii)
-Large, even by Dowutin standards.
-Friendly. Protective. Frequent enabler of mischief.

Wish I could adjust the cropping because the thumbnail gives away the joke. Oh well. Here's the epic 2-part finale of Tailii's quest for an adorable shoulder companion. #Art #StarWars #Comic #OC #OriginalCharacter #Anzellan #Devaronian #Tailii #BabuFrik

4-panel comic. Continuation of the "Tailii wants an adorable shoulder pet" story.

1
Tailii walks past a droid repair shop window. Signs in Aurebesh say "SALE!" and "Latest model!" Silhouettes of various droids are visible in the window. The "latest model" is a small, dome-shaped droid with large eyes, antenna, and two spindly legs. A small figure can be seen standing on the shoulder of a tall, humanoid droid.

2
Tailii has walked out of frame. Same shop window now fully visible.

3
Tailii rushing back to the window.

4
View from inside the window looking out. Tailii has pressed her face and hands against it and has an exaggerated expression of adoration on her face.

4-panel comic. Finale of the "Tailii wants a shoulder pet" story.

1
Kroi is seen from behind standing over a table with some equipment on it. He is examining or working on something. Various blasters and melee weapons are mounted on the wall in front of him.

Tailii (out of panel): "Hey, Kroi! I finally found my cute shoulder pet!"
Kroi: "Oh, really?"

2
Kroi turns to face Tailii who is standing in a triumphant pose with her hands on her hips and grinning widely. Notably, the pet she came to show off is nowhere to be seen.

Kroi: "And what did you decide-"

3
Closeup on Tailii still grinning. A small Anzellan pops up from behind her left shoulder, raising his fists in the air and cheerfully greets Kroi.

Anzellan: "Hey heeeey!"

4
Closeup on Kroi's face with wide eyes and mouth looking absolutely horrified.

Kroi: "TAILII THAT IS A PERSON."

4-panel comic featuring OCs Tailii Raisa (human) and Kroi Nira (Devaronian)

Panel 1:
Tailii looks at two wanted posters of Cal Kestis and Kay Vess, each with their respective adorable companion on their left shoulders. (BD-1 with Cal, Nix with Kay.)

Panel 2:
Tailii looks down at her own left shoulder with a raised eyebrow, seemingly realizing something has been missing.

Panel 3:
Kroi sits in a large comfy chair in his Coruscant apartment. He is looking at a data pad and holding a steaming cup in his other hand. The city skyline is visible through large windows behind him.

Panel 4:
Tailii comes flying in through one of the windows with a wide smile.

Tailii: "KROOOOIIIIII!!!"

Surprised by Tailii's unusually loud entrance, Kroi's eyes widen comically and he spit-takes brown liquid all over his data pad.
