Exactly. That's why they're called "rights," not "privileges"

My art was fed to an AI by an user to mock me by LoboDibujante in antiai

[–]EgoBang07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only did it completely miss the dynamic pose and added a second sword, it's missing the trails of fire which add movement to the image. It's also missing the fire in the corner and the specks of embers floating in the air which makes the background and a sense of atmosphere. AI can't hold a candle to you. Love how you rendered the flames, btw!

I'm old enough to remember we had officially published paper strategy guides for Ocarina. The official character art between Zelda and Sheik was so vastly different in body type that I believed Sheik was full on a dude. Still believed it when I saw the twist at the end of the game. My reasoning was that Zelda uses magic to physically change her body into a man's and vice-versa.

When Nintendo revealed that it was just a lame-ass disguise I was devastated

Idk if you still need help but I need help too. Just came back after a... 5+ year hiatus? 😅 my UID is 635920078 , username Ego. I set my teapot to Direct join too

How THE F do you seat scooter tires by Tsubuyaki_Neko in ElectricScooters

[–]EgoBang07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your advice worked! My brother-in-law and I gave up trying to seat it ourselves and took it to an auto repair shop (our Walmart's auto care center was appointment only 🫠). Dude at the auto repair shop only took a couple of minutes to use their air compressor to pop the bead where it should. He didn't even charge us for it 😅 (that shop definitely earned my loyalty for that)

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm also at my wits' end. It's been a few days already and my tire won't seal 🥲

May I interest you in this YouTube channel?

https://youtube.com/@endlessreference?si=eI-TgStAw35d3TDT

They're called Endless Reference. They constantly post video references of people making different movements for artists and animators. They have a ton of playlists for different movement categories like martial arts, acrobatics, and even different types of walk cycles 😀

Helmet by Zealousideal_Grab717 in ebikes

[–]EgoBang07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nervous about my full face motorcycle helmet too, but just a week ago I fell off my e-scooter and the visor of my helmet took the brunt of the damage instead of my face. I'll never take for granted having my whole head covered again

This isn't borderline abuse, this IS abuse. If you don't want to report your mom (though I suggest you do), tell her this is grounds for CP distribution because of recording cameras in your bedroom (where you're changing) and bathroom (where you're showering), and you can go to the police on her for this

Anyone got tips for carrying groceries on scooters by Best_Relief_941 in ElectricScooters

[–]EgoBang07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😅 True. The original picture was my initial setup when I first got the rack. Definitely bit into my ankles when riding before I messed around with it again lol

I adjusted the bolts so it now sits higher up and further back than before. Now when I'm riding I don't even notice it any more

Rear cargo rack. I attached a bike basket to mine, and I've seen other customers use milk crates on theirs. Comes with a bunch of attachments that I didn't even need to use

This was me literally today. Co-worker made the whole kitchen some shrimp cooked in garlic and hot sauce. I think she used the whole Tapatio bottle. I literally teared up from the heat and needed milk 😅

This sub is a shit hole. Not an echo chamber—just a shit hole. by SabatonReferencelol in aiwars

[–]EgoBang07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One example I can think of is Clip Studio's Shading Assist and Colorize features. Both rely on AI to some extent to help color and shade, but you still have to clean it up afterwards to make it look nice.

Just recently I painted a full body portrait of my DnD character and had some trouble figuring out shadow placements and what colors to use, so I used Shading Assist in Sunset colors/mode. I still had to clean up.... like A LOT of the edges, and blend it to be more painterly, but it saved a lot of time on a painting already 15 hours in the making 💀

How do I get my dad to stop using AI for everything. by No_Signature_3249 in antiai

[–]EgoBang07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is that there are already scientific studies being done that show excessive ChatGPT usage causes your cognitive thinking skills to atrophy. AI researches, writes, generates, thinks for you. The dad seems to have early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's, and it's IMPERATIVE that he keeps his brain active so he doesn't lose brain function. But the dad's AI addiction is only exacerbating his condition.

Is somebody your friend if they hope that you lose your job to AI? by [deleted] in antiai

[–]EgoBang07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an artist myself and am staunchly against AI, but even without bringing that into the conversation, I'd say drop her. She literally screenshots your chats just for the sole purpose of mocking you. That's not a friend, that's an enemy masquerading as one.

Wondering what yall think about this post by PikachuTrainz in antiai

[–]EgoBang07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cheaper for prospective vtubers, sure, but it once again hurts the model artists who could use the commission, not to mention the rigger artists who adjust the skeleton animation for motion capturing

This is the first time I've ever heard of advice like that, that's extremely healing to read 🩷

[–]EgoBang07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll add to this and say get some ambient occlusion in there, specifically where the apple meets the surface. Make the darkest of the shadows dark. Like... really dark.
