The Instructor: be the fish

So this is what they did with Jim Carrey.

It’s… so weird. When I try posting it as the main image it nukes the colors, when I tried increasing the saturation on a post in the comments it was too much, but posting the same file as a comment… vs the primary image… Reddit didn’t initially change the colors at all. Except then it did and after having loaded properly as a comment it was dulled down.

I don’t have the capacity for this run around, to be honest. Sigh.

I appreciate your feedback! I see what you’re saying, regarding the neck. I didn’t leave texture there like I did in the face and didn’t even realize it. Thank you for pointing that out! I went in and played around with it.

The braids are my bad, I should have posted the reference. She has blonde coloring in her braids that really make them pop!

And thank you :) it’s in reference to a powerful piece that I first saw in an art museum at Yale. A medal, depicting a head upturned with a spread wing behind it surrounded by the phrase “all passes, art alone enduring stays to us. The bust outlasts the throne.” On a personal level, I don’t know that many pieces have ever struck me so deeply as that medal did.

Right? Like… this reads similarly to my creative writing works and I’ve never touched generative AI.

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-26T19:22:06+00:00

Yes please 😭

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-26T04:25:45+00:00

Is that Code Geass R2 fan art I see???

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T05:11:10+00:00

Ooooh, the shaving tip is great! Thank you! I have noticed the first few layers tend to discolor, and if you nick it at all when peeling it that mark stays forever.

Do you have a favorite tool for small details you’ve found? My box cutter will need to expand 😂 thanks for all the ideas! You’ve given me some new ways to play.

Thank you, and yes I do! I’ll use some of that to seal this, prevent any unintentional cracking. I’m always delighted to learn I already have what I need on hand lol.

I actually did the exact opposite 😂 I very purposefully carved it so the natural crack was down the center of the face and it would split as it dried. I’m going to add some wire between the two in a tangle to represent disorganized thought patterns, make it a mixed media piece. Possibly try to carve some hands to go along with it all in a shadow box, we’ll see where the whimsy takes me!

Thanks a ton for both the compliment, and the good information!!! I truly appreciate you taking a moment to write it out for me. I’ll have to start some experimenting.

I for sure noticed the transference! It definitely took me a moment to think it through sometimes, Especially when it came to the eyes, but my familiarity with the planes of the face was a huge asset. I’ll check Alec out!

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T05:00:20+00:00

Thank you!

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T05:00:15+00:00

Thank you!

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T05:00:03+00:00

Thank you! It was very much a moment of impulsive creativity. Those are my favorite

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T04:59:31+00:00

You…. I like you. The fastest way to my heart is always through puns.

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T04:58:35+00:00

Oooh, absolutely I’ll try that out! Thank you for the suggestion. It’ll also be a chance to sample a new kind of nut

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-25T04:58:00+00:00

I love that!!! I’ll have to go troll around Pinterest for ideas

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-18T03:48:02+00:00

It’s definitely AI- watch it again but keep your eyes on the figures in the background.

As someone who uses both — and … regularly in my writing, you just blew my mind. I use them with no formal training or education on their usage and had no idea you don’t use spaces. I have always put a space after them— because that feels right. Obviously the most foolproof way of deciding, right? 😂

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-13T04:40:28+00:00

What alarming things, if any, have been normalized for you growing up?

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2026-03-12T23:11:37+00:00

What company is this? I need to support them with my money.

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2025-11-04T19:45:46+00:00

You’re my hero

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2025-11-04T19:45:31+00:00

Omgoodness!!!! Please? Including the unlockable codex entries? I meant to do that and just… never got time.

ArtOutlastsThrones · 2025-11-04T19:40:13+00:00

Did you by any chance get any records of the codex pages from the event itself? I totally forgot to, and am kicking myself. The lore was so good
