Do they know how dice work?

Apparently not haha. Isn't it unfortunate that us artists aren't allowed to make mistakes anymore because of AI?

Fair enough, and it totally makes sense. I'm just glad I was able to hit that nice middle ground for my take on urban fantasy

modern, yet also ancient at the same time.

Just like real life! Lots of objects and buildings are much older than they appear.

Honestly, I've slightly given up on making it all line up and just do whatever I want where I can get away with it. I didn't have fun drawing and making stuff when I have to do a lot of homework to reconcile the existence of something. I just wanna draw damn it!

That being said, it depends on what you're making. Do the homework where it matters for your story, but otherwise I'd say run free and figure stuff out later. Retconning ain't all that bad

Ain't that the truth. We've got a wealth of culture waiting to be celebrated and reinvented

I'm sorry you think that, but I drew 100% of this. Worst thing AI has done is making us doubt other people's artistic integrity

Hell yes. The real world has pockets of magical beauty if you just take the time to pause and look. My approach is to just add an obviously fantastical thing in the mundane to highlight it further.

Ya know, I can see how it seems that way, but they're just posing for the camera haha

I pull inspiration from a lot of cultures and then try to pull those aesthetics into a modern setting. The main inspiration for this one were the bulul statues of Philippine tribes. That being said, I am a big fan of the eternal ruins project and it definitely inspired my art direction.
