burning myself out trying to make Good Comics. taking a break by making Shitty Comics instead 100% based on a true story #art #comics #comicsky
Shitty five minute comic, ink on paper (i.e. the nearest blank journal to me at that moment in time.) first “panel”: a curly haired lady with glasses and Angry Eyes is drawing on a tablet. She says: “NO”. second “panel”: a pop-up dialogue in a digital art program entitled “new layer”. The pop-up has an input box for layer name, layer mode, and a bunch of blah blah idk I never read past the first two lines. It has two buttons: “ok” and “no.” A cursor is hovering over “ok”. Over the pop-up, a voiceover reads: “I do not want to name my layers.” Third “panel”: the lady is throwing her hands up and says: “Let God sort ‘em out. I do not give a single fuck.” Fourth panel: the lady, overcome with hubris, continues drawing on her tablet, saying: “Hahaha this is great. I’m so great.”
Fifth “panel”: several hours later, she is hunched over, head in hands, sobbing. Moral: pride cometh before a fall, etc

Hello!! I’m Prolix and right now I mostly draw Elder Scrolls OCs (my ESO friends and my own!!) though I’m working on developing a host of characters for a webcomic rn. Still scheming and planning, haven’t posted any of them yet ;) Here are some recent pieces by me!
#art #digitalart of an elderly Breton witch from #ESO. She wears a black dress, shawl and gloves, has blue eyes and grey hair, and is marveling at a rising procession of crystals in her home.#drawing of a non-binary Reachfolk witch. They are slender and muscular with shoulder length black hair and green eyes. They wear a torn dearskin top with dearskin belt, boots and gloves and a green kilt over baggy green trousers. They are reaching for a sheathed dagger with their right hand. The character from the previous drawing (right) sitting cross legged adjacent to a fellow Reach witch dressed in a black crop top, skirt, and green ribbon-adorned gloves. The character on the left tilts her chin towards them with the blade of their dagger.

A digital painting depicting elderly Breton (Elder Scrolls) witch regarding a rising, swirling cascade of crystals with some detached awe. She is wearing a black dress, black gloves, and black shawl, has white hair, and wears a blue totem necklace as well as an apothecary pouch attached to her hip by a white scarf. She is framed from the back by the green glow of a shrine room and is lit from the front by the blue glow of the crystals.

incredible work, Gemini AI. well done
A screenshot of a google AI overview suggesting an absolutely batshit mnemonic the remember the intermediates of the citric acid cycle:


“Al Overview
Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)
Mnemonic:
• C: itrate
• I: socitrate
• S: uccinyl-CoA
• K: etoglutarate
• B: lueberry (Succinate)
• S: pecial (Fumarate)
• M: oving (Malate)
• 0: xaloacetate
Explanation:
• This mnemonic uses the first letter of each intermediate in the citric acid cycle to create a memorable sequence.
• The cycle starts with citrate and ends with oxaloacetate, which is regenerated to start the cycle again.
• The intermediates between these two are isocitrate, succinyl-CoA, ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, and malate.
• The "blueberry" is a placeholder for the succinate step, as there is no common first letter for this intermediate.”

Speaking of AI garbage, when I tried the Lightroom iOS app to do color correction and add grain effect to my latest drawing, it autonomously “fixed” one character’s hair, eyebrow and eye shape. Did not select any of the millions of AI “retouch” features Adobe included. So, uh, fuck Adobe ig #art

Anatomy studies are probably the most frustrating part of art for me, but occasionally I knock out something I feel proud of. It’s not about making something perfect, more about looking at a finished piece and feeling like, yeah. I’m making progress here. #art #traditionalart #practice #anatomy
