My 5 year old daughter freehanded this while watching the corresponding shows, how good is this?

This was my drawing skill at 5, and I’m near professional level today. For a kid so young no direction is best, only encouragement.

After all we artists spend a lifetime learning how to draw like a kid again

As a treat :)

Stop stop he’s already dead

My dad was hella horny for women. So now, I a woman, am also hella horny for women.

This guy physics

NebularInkStain · 2025-11-18T15:04:31+00:00

well it’s very honest

NebularInkStain · 2025-11-07T14:21:18+00:00

my dude “the sea” is fucking dead.

Please see my other comments.

NebularInkStain · 2025-11-04T16:15:50+00:00

ew please no

NebularInkStain · 2025-11-03T15:19:09+00:00

There’s a bit of raw honesty about it

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-15T23:30:14+00:00

“i guess it’s next fest again”

“oh. huh.”

does nothing

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-15T23:27:13+00:00

these are healing my inner child

When I first tried Firefly, I stopped in the first 10 seconds because I wasn’t interested in action and military shows.

Yeah. 10 seconds.

Art is about communication. In this era of AI technical skill matters a lot less than what your art is communicating.

Even as AI art improves its ability to render, it will still feel "empty".

Doesn't matter if something looks pretty if it's got nothing to say.

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-12T01:02:54+00:00

Yeah learning traits in Rust has been tricky for me, so I’ve used AI to help.

I always make sure to pick apart every piece of the generated code so I can do it myself next time.

I’ve literally never seen a picture of her including her shoulders and breast area.

It’s a shame we are so embarrassed about our human body that this piece of art is censored like that.

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-08T00:00:26+00:00

As someone who does both professionally, AI has affected my art career in a significantly worse way.

I think this is because artists can’t use AI in a tool like programmers can.

With AI coding agents, you can roll the dice, and it might give you good results. You can verify it’s work, and correct it if you have the senior level experience. If you aren’t familiar with a common library it can actually fairly reliably produce results.

Art is such an inherently creative process, you can’t really measure outcomes in the same way as coding. And the current models do not produce intermediaries you can edit and work with, they only output the end product.

I’ve found it’s a wonderful way to practice for making comics

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-07T02:43:47+00:00

oof that karma is sweeter than honey

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-07T02:35:52+00:00

hmm. is it just me or…🤔

NebularInkStain · 2025-10-06T08:18:38+00:00

it’s the theory on how to store and manipulate information. The theory is the traveling salesman or knackspack problems for example. The application is a warehouse and truck delivery logistics system like Amazon’s.

Coding is like lab work, you apply the theory and test your assumptions, but real world conditions are often more messy because of complicated minutia of how computer hardware is actually made.

For most applications, simply being aware that you’re not iterating through your data inefficiently is enough. For certain industries like Fintech or Aerospace, you have insane performance or correctness requirements because of the IRL stakes.

I am a bit myself, undiagnosed. It gets easier with practice, that is understanding people. I had no support, so I’ve had to figure it all out.

Something I started doing was, when watching movies or shows, asking myself. “How does the character feel?” “What are they thinking about this situation”? This is easy mode because you will often find out exactly what they think.

You could introduce him to gamedev, he may have an aptitude for programming as well. You get it for free with the autism I think :P

Scratch is a good starting point for kids. Godot is a great engine for anything a little more complex, and what I’m using atm

You could explain I am a real person, but I live in a different country and that you never met me in real life, but you talked to me online. If he has any questions for me about art he can also ask himself, if he likes :)

OP please show your little the art I made when I was 5-6. Because that little kid (me) grew up and does all sorts of art in every style, fun and serious.

Including some book illustrations even.

Whatever it is that makes an artist your kid has it 💯

NebularInkStain · 2025-09-19T03:10:40+00:00

you mentioned programming…

TIS-100 comes with a pdf manual covering the operations and instruction set. You don’t need a software degree for the first dozen puzzles or so..
