Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting software. Prior to the release of AutoCAD in 1982, engineering drawings were all done by hand using different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares and set squares. Original post

This is soft-vent. Someone I love is very sick and I've only been able to process by writing. I have been developing the alien goop in Keith. I feel like what I'm depicting here reflects the character direction without need for much explanation, "Rome" being its planet. #ocsky #ventart
Art is of OC Keith Kenson being impaled through the chest on his own tentacle from behind. Text: "Not that I loved Caesar less... but that I loved Rome more."

I don't apply to Fan Expos because all my stuff is OCs and original stories and I don't think it fits the vibe. If I got in I'd be taking a table away from someone who has awesome fandom merch to sell. It should be the same in the other direction too.

I feel like its so easy to boycott something like a streaming service vs a grocery store or even amazon and ppl are willingto boycott those. It boggles my mind. If youre that bored without your shows hang out with some friends. Read books. Hell... pirate the non jkr HBO shows.

This. People will boycott better written shows for less atrocious crimes. But the second its Harry Potter it's "muh nostalgia!"

Plus there's all the easy data on what characters people are MOST attached to that webtoon can use to make investment decisions (merch, shows, etc) God the whole thing feels nasty the more you think about it.

How much you wanna bet they're going to have their editors and contracts try to strong arm Originals creators into this character ai stuff & use it to market unhealthy attachments. I see "with authors consent" and can't help but think about the ways corporations manufacture consent.

I'm not into the pain olympics/posturing that a lot of people do with their spice but if I'm having spice cravings I want my nose to run. I want to feel it in my throat. I don't need to shit flames or get ulcers. Idk man....

I don't eat fast food a lot so sorry if this is old news...... Taco bells hot sauce isn't spicy? Diablo is the only one that has any heat and its closer to Frank's red. Flamin hot cheetos are hotter than their Fire sauce. So what the fuck is the point?

I'm not remotely in the ATLA fandom. But I know a lot of niche info from irls who are. That chatGPT comment really doesn't seem like something the writers/concept artists would accept as research.

Friction (Emergency Comms) @frictioncomic.com · 26/07/2026
I'm glad I put off reposting anything related to this because... yeah the chat GPT remark didn't make sense to me either. Considering how much research has gone into bending in the past? Considering how high effort scenes look and all the creatives attached?

The air here LOOKS crap and SMELLS crap but our usual go-to reporting outlets are saying it's fine. We have proper masks for going out (we bought them after seeing how bad ICE terrorized Minneapolis.) Normally I'd sucker through this but my allergies have been bad this season so I'd rather not.

I built one of those Corsi–Rosenthal boxes to combat the ash from the fires. We needed it since we have multiple points on our floor that leak outside air (the building is an old factory building 🤷‍♂️) I made ours modifiable so that it can blow upward or sideways using some leftover weather stripping.

I wish I took more time to polish... the gif thing took longer than I thought. I mainly wish I had made the motion effect blend into the background a little better. While trying to make the gif I ended up making a file so large it almost crashed my gaming laptop. Also I ship them now.

The first Nano banana one was the only one I got wrong. If I was reviewing that image as a moderator of a group I would have ran it through Hive or Google lens. Without those tools there isn't enough on the image for me to flag it. I'm kind of bummed because I don't usually have that with AI photos.
000
Friction (Emergency Comms) @frictioncomic.com · 04/07/2026
Everything else was either easy enough I could tell it was AI without hive. One I did use Google reverse image because it had a couple of inconsistencies but I suspected it was real and I was right. The image was old enough that it predates ai.

Friction (Emergency Comms) @frictioncomic.com · 04/07/2026
Only missed one and thats cuz I didn't do my usual method. Usually when im iffy i use Hive or google lense to double check. This one was iffy but i believed i checked enough of the details in the image to make a decent guess.

this is what artfight feels like to me
edited “they don’t know i’m (blank)” meme showing people dancing at a party with a guy in the corner holding a cup and a party hat. i’ve edited it so that he’s smiling mischievously, standing at a desk with a drawing tablet and a pen in his other hand. the text next to him says “they don’t know i’m drawing their ocs”

Today's sketch (before heading to a figure drawing session 😅)
A pale character is chained on top of a structure ending in a gargoyle head. Bat-like wings are coming from the back of the character. In the background, a city is lit by a huge red moon.
