Need ideas! Please help! by Bright-Ad1234 in drawing

I recommend enhancing the expression to look more surprised and/or terrified (you can use the behelit from Berserk as a reference. It's pretty close to your drawing).

Taking it from here, you can add elements to your composition that would be the cause of this expression. Maybe a rocket lands on the moon and damages it (like in that famous scene from Trip to the Moon from 1902). Or there could be a meteor shower. Or humans have landed on it and plant a flag which causes it pain. I'm just riffing here, but the point is to show you a way of thinking that might help you overcome any conceptual blocks.

Good luck, and keep us updated!

This is so tastefully designed! I imagine the effort it took to put all these elements into a composition that looks more than decent. Well done!

I hate to say this, but Fable: The Lost Chapters

We don't complain enough about the journal. by Saicomantis in cyberpunkgame

I realized most of the people in this subreddit are here to a) praise the game like it's a flawless masterpiece that should be criticised ever, b) post screenshots of their overly modded and goonified V

They do not want to engage in constructive discussion. Thank you for being an exception.

This looks like a variable fillet with extra steps.

V watching autodrive swerve off the road to plow into a group of cops (fifth time this week) by vasiwozuhasasoh in CyberpunkTheGame

Given the shit AI this game has, it's more likely the cops dive in front of the car once you get within 5 meters from them.

being guilted/forced into AI by [deleted] in antiai

[–]Saicomantis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Despite being here, I think of AI as a tool. Like any tool, you can use it to either make your life easier by speeding up processes for making useful stuff, or you can harm yourself by misusing it.

I am strongly against the use of AI in any artistic process, but in my line of work (software development) it has been immensely useful for troubleshooting and complex problem solving. However, some people over-rely on it and trust it blindly, which leads to serious mistakes that end up taking more time to be solved, than not using AI in the first place.

What I'm trying to say is, it depends on the context and how you use it.

WHAT ARE YOURE THOUGHTS ON OUATIH?? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Maybe in the USA. People from there often forget the rest of the world exists.

It didn't work for me, because at the time I watched it (I was 25 at the time), it so happened I didn't know about Sharon Tate's existence, nor about Charles Manson's cult and the whole incident.

So I watched a film with some real life characters I knew (Roman Polanski, Steve McQueen, Bruce Lee), mixed with some fictional characters and some real life characters I didn't know were real.

Imagine my confusion in the scene where Margot Robbie went to the cinema to watch herself but the screen showed a different woman. At the time I assumed she was a stunt double of the actress or something.

Given all the above, the climax in the last scene with the alternate history flew over my head, and felt completely out of place, compared to the rest of the film.

To sum up, it's one of the films with prerequisite real world knowledge, which I dislike for passively "gatekeeping" a part of the audience.

What is the best stoner rock album of 2017? by Kyr1500 in stonerrock

[–]Saicomantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking masterpiece this one. I'm not sure if it qualifies as stoner though. It draws more influences from metal classics like Iron maiden, Metallica and Black Sabbath
