Yotsuyu holds her pipe in one hand and her mirror in the other. She's on a blue background with a night sky and spider lilies. Smoke from the pipe curls up around her, covering the moon behind her. Moonlight reflects from the mirror onto her face.

Especially because I think the art direction in P3R seems to be extremely good otherwise

P3F is probably my favorite video game and while I haven’t gotten around to playing P3R, i watched some of the cutscenes on YouTube and I totally agree it’s quite sad. I don’t know why they remade so many of them 1 to 1 with the original but just Worse

the problem is there is no mass demand for this. you didn't have to sell email. the sole demand is by loathed corporations who are either: (a) trying to fire you; or (b) trying to make a trillion dollars getting you fired. and for (a) they are having a hard time doing it still

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Saw a vid the other day where this woman lied to both her audience & HUSBAND about tracing ai. She went on a stream to “prove” she could actually draw (spoiler: she can’t), but someone in chat had said “people think everything is AI these days” but she ADMITTED TO TRACING AI AT THE END OF THE STREAM

Mika @firstprogenitor.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Obviously I don’t think people should be harassing this woman I just think that when someone likes an artist they have a vested interest in that artist not using ai for any reason and I am sick of seeing “everything thinks everything is ai these days”

Mika @firstprogenitor.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I do not know anything about the woman in the video and I do not care, I just think “I’ve followed them for a long time” and “they obviously know how to draw” are the weakest and flimsiest evidences against someone using ai. Talented people use ai all the time. It’s sad but true

Mika @firstprogenitor.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Whether you’ve “followed an artist since deviantart” has nothing to do with whether they use AI. That one artist who did a fake speedpaint for CSP’s illustration contest 6 months ago used AI despite being a real artist who has been posting for a long time youtu.be/6Xcpo4p5YSQ?...

Finished pages from a couple years ago for a XIV Planner project! i got to represent shadowbringers, and chose to do that with the light warden + aesthetics of each area in the expansion; it was a fun to try and balance aesthetic + wide open negative space to preserve its use as a journal
