Is mechtober a thing? #mech #artober

A mech drawn in pen, with a sword drawn, ready to fight someone. It is lanky and tall, with a large halo-like helmet.

It’s usually a sort brush font, or it’s got like a smooth gradient. Here’s an example making fun of it, but replicating the style well:

There’s tons of vibe coded normal map generators out there now (they all have that vibe coded “look” to their UI) but why use any of those when this exists

Normal Map Online, a tried and true online utility with a very dated looking UI. You can tell it’s meant for genuine sickos

read a blog about how a game studio uses AI and uhhhhh AI likers are just so insufferable

Blog post: It's really hard to get exactly what you
want. 2. Players are often unhappy paying for a game that seems AI-generated. It can feel unfair to them: they are paying for what they expect to be a handmade game that takes a lot of effort to create, but instead they feel they are getting
something generated in a few seconds. Some players are also very sensitive to the idea that AI art tools are "stealing" from artists because they were trained
on human-made images. At the end of the day, on Steam right now, having AI-generated art will most likely trigger a lot of negative emotions from
players.
