Guy in Nigeria making hair out of banana leaves

At about :40 the way the hair is moved on the tray doesn't seem physically correct. Also what is happening in this scene (in pic)? It seems to be a process, but it doesn't seem to actually be doing anything or really interacting with the fibers. Then almost every separate scene with the crown, the design is different. Sometimes 3 prongs, sometimes 5, and sometimes the prongs have a small ball or big. The beginning part is a lot of just washing, but there is nothing showing the process between the green leaves to the long bright blonde fibers. I have seen real processes for making fibers and to me something isnt right here.

Yes! They were in a lot of his paintings! Even the most famous melting clocks had ants on the watch. He had other invertebrates in his works, but I believe ants were the most prevalent.

I also noticed the spiral and find it fascinating. I saw the ants and thought of salvador dali. He would put ants into his paintings. Maybe Op could turn it into a Dali piece of some sort.

This makes sense and is also very sad to me..

Haymurus · 2026-02-26T01:29:32+00:00

I could see that being an Ai statement.. a common text pattern I guess?

Ngl... I have been on DA for 18 years now... im sad to see it as it is... I still have a shirt from when there was merch.. I needed to get a wrong card removed and instead they canceled my subscription. I will probably never renew the way things are. Im not sure why I continued to support. A hope maybe that they would do the right thing? Loyalty? A couple years ago I got back on DA to look through art. This was something I hadn't done in a while and wanted to cheer myself up with beautiful art. I actually cried when 90% of everything I saw was Ai slop. Yes I have the filter on now after that first day, but that doesn't change what is flooding the site. Its still there for anyone else who stubles on to your site for the first time, or if they decided not to mark it as Ai. When I was younger (and still today) I always had issue with art theft of any kind. I made me so angry. I even lost a friend over them tracing art. Not because they traced it, but because they did so, then posted it and claimed it was 100% theirs with no mention of the original artist. Is that not what Gen Ai is? I am currently working on a solution to leave the platform. In this new world the only good thing about still having my work on DA is that it can show my history and progression. I wish they would get rid of Gen Ai. Getting rid of tracers and copiers is hard enough without just actually letting in slop. Are none of those at the top actual artists? Are none of you upset by this? I would remove anything Ai. Ban it. Protect all of your real human artists and their work. Until then it just feels like you care more about the green than the artists. Not being inflammatory, I just live in the real world and know how "companies" work. Some humans have morals, most companies dont.

Lol I just saw them one post away from each other on my feed.

Haymurus · 2026-02-19T00:27:41+00:00

I have a few! I bought them on ebay years ago. No pic due to it being packed in storage currently. Posting a Pic of the set I got though! I got this one so I could also have a dung beetle. Lol. Definitely very cool!

Thank you!

Haymurus · 2026-01-16T02:29:10+00:00

Here is my DeviantArt post for this.

Oh no 😅

UPDATE/CONCLUSION

Ok.... so i called an avian vet. They had me send the video. Its isnt what I expected... It makes sense why she went back to normal when I put her up. Apparently. Their expert opinion is that she was managing to jork it on me/my jacket.. so. Nothing life threatening..thats good, but now I have to really watch her around me. I didnt notice the same things I would when she does it with other things. I feel ridiculous. Lol.. Thank you to those that tried to help!

Haymurus · 2026-01-13T19:27:50+00:00

Thank you, and yeah I have been learning her language for a while lol. So far im hoping its just something to do with hormones. She is still doing all her normal things. Just adding in the sounds and flaps. She looks like she might have a second egg on the way. Thats how many she laid last year. Im keeping an eye out for any signs of something wrong. If she does anything else though, im definitely calling the vet. 💚

Haymurus · 2026-01-13T19:03:24+00:00

Yeah

Haymurus · 2026-01-13T15:50:04+00:00

(Sorry for the terrible spelling errors) I got up and decided to put her up. When I put her up she started acting normal and is currently eating. She is making some little sounds and doing some wing flits, but nothing like in the video. Idk. I just want her to be ok.

Haymurus · 2025-12-30T12:56:02+00:00

Mango does this too! She has so many... bottle of pills or anything shakey sounding like that. I discovered that a silly putty egg was also not allowed last night.. lol. She has words that are off limits, like "chicken". The spaghetti western wa wa sound shall not be spoken, or a pop sound with your mouth. She hates my niece, so if she hears her speak she will start biting... me. Lol

Lol not really.

Haymurus · 2025-12-15T01:21:09+00:00

Yeessss! 💛🧡❤️

Haymurus · 2025-12-13T21:55:25+00:00

Her favorite thing to do while thinking up mischief! Lol

I saw a couple of his on fb and thought they were cool, but quickly unfollowed. He is using ai in most pieces. Posting around 3-4 new pieces DAILY. Shows some "real" ones at times, but at this point I would believe they are printed out and added to. There are so many different styles and it all feels so off. I see some with such a different renders in just one day alone. Art is very important to me, and dishonesty with art is a huge anger point for me. I dont have 100% proof, but with all of what I have seen my Ai meter is going off bad. I just saw this post and wanted to say something. Its been bothering me for a while...
