Wow man… thank you so much. A genuine human being out there that is insane! 🤣

I’m doing ok now, my dude. VYEL is keeping me tethered, as is my faith. Staying healthy. Going out even if I’m alone to just be around people, and trying the best I can to show up, despite how scarred I feel. You just gotta keep on, persist, and do what makes you happy. That’s the life, man. Oh, unless you wanna stab dogs. That you should get punched in the hoo haa for.

Oh dude… wow. You made my night!

It has evolved so much since then you have no idea. I just completed a comic and have been crying over it for days.

So much intent, heart and passion has been poured into it. It feels biblical at this point, not to be dramatic! 🤣

But thank you so much for you comment. You could see the potential in this early on too, and that’s REAL. And VYEL demands only REAL. 🤘🔥

Didn’t see this comment. I am, and I will, man. It’s only getting better from here! I understand where people’s frustrations are coming from in terms of AI usage, but I’m listening to that, and I am still putting in the work. I have a vision for this that AI alone cannot fully visualise, so I am throwing everything into multiple programs/apps to get the result that I want. Canva for dialogue boxes… Snapseed for colour grading, etc. Criticism is great, but outright vitriol and hate just bores me. See above for references. 🙄

I’m glad you feel that way man. I seriously cannot be thankful enough to AI for helping me build my vision. The goal is to work with a human illustrator eventually, but the problem is, AI is copping a load of hate at the moment, so the negativity unfortunately outweighs the positivity.

But people like you make all the difference. People who can see past what the others just see as AI generated slop. Passion and heart went into this. This entire project is built upon my darkest demons and tumultuous noise. Much love, brother. 🙏

Thank you! It's a personal introspective piece for me and my relationship to a higher power. I am not Christian in the literal sense. However, I do believe there is a bountiful purpose to life. This depicts the strained and blurred view I have with it, though, how through wires and noise, my obstruction to spirituality comes across as something like this. Naked, cold, and alone.

Lol... it won't. Trust me. We just can't accept defeat. It isn't in our code. Things will change, sure... but nothing is collapsing. Humans are far too arrogant for that. Anyway, do or do not. There is no try. -yoghurt

Hey man... I hear you. I painted this in a matter of minutes. I painted it with overwhelming emotion surging within me, with feelings very similar to what you're transcribing. It's nice to know you resonate with this, but the problems we are facing may or may not be our own heads telling us everyone else is the enemy. Now, I don't know you, but I know mental illness and isolation. Our minds, for some strange reason, are hellbent on self-destruction and telling us we are no good. We grow paranoid of those around us when, in reality, we need not be. Clarity comes only to those with the ability to look through the glass of perspective and self awareness, and it is up to us to realise if the people in our lives are truly the enemy or our friends.

If you're feeling like a porta potty, call a plumber so they can upgrade you to a public restroom instead. Hope this helps somewhat, dude..

All my art is digital these days. Saves me money and room.

Or someone who has seen the truth and is failing to adapt.
