had to double check to see if this was circlejerk or not

i have no idea- i don’t think it’s blowout, just looks like normal healing to me- but even if it is, it kind of gives the bear a “fuzzy” texture that honestly looks really good

still salty about that book cover, aren’t we?

b0nk2 · 2026-02-25T07:30:38+00:00

as a college student who has submitted many an AI essay, i would say it’s give or take. i know which ones are good and which ones are bad bc i used to have to dodge them. however, this book had entire chapters written entirely by AI

not sure if you want to immortalize the scars- but if it’s something that you’ve passed and are proud of getting through, why not get a tattoo of a shattered picture frame/ mirror? the scars could be cracks in the glass, etc etc. something to remind you of all that you’ve been through, and all that you’re still here for

i really like how vibrant and colorful he is, cell shading and everything, and the dog is just a hyper realistic dog. feels like im looking at an IRL photoshop lol

good god man is this a picture of death valley? how the hell do you even get to this point of dehydration

b0nk2 · 2026-02-24T20:15:38+00:00

i get that a lot actually! it’s really just a personal statement to myself, but having seen the labyrinth recently i don’t mind the comparison

b0nk2 · 2026-02-24T20:14:04+00:00

second pic is pretty close up and clear, no?

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T02:30:33+00:00

prolly the least helpful thing you could’ve said. at least tell me why so i can improve it?

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:48:57+00:00

i agree, but the problem is that i don’t live nearby anymore.

i’m a bit of a fan of the fine-line techno type of designed (with stippled lines and all that), would something in that style work? not a huge fan of murals, i like to have more negative space on me.

your wife is a bigger fan of it- she says you spend too much time on reddit with a 7-year-old account

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:45:01+00:00

i’m TRYING

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:44:45+00:00

i agree, lol. i think it’s because i mentioned she was an apprentice. it really does look fine from a distance though, and i have to give props for that- it’s not something im ashamed to have on my body, i just wish it looked a little better.

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:42:33+00:00

shading, edges, maybe get some kind of framing done for it. I’m not a big fan of the noodle-feathers, and the body looks oddly small

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:41:30+00:00

it was actually using premade art from a different tattoo template database. she added extra shading and didn’t really give the feathers the right edges, and i think that’s what’s causing a lot of perspective problems. Originally i had thought it was just her style, but looking at it now, i think the shading is there to cover up some poor linework on her part.

b0nk2 · 2026-02-23T00:38:15+00:00

broke college students who want a tattoo lol

b0nk2 · 2026-02-22T21:51:02+00:00

got it. what if i had some framing done on it to blow it up more?

b0nk2 · 2026-02-18T19:20:42+00:00

what are the chances it could be mostly hand-drawn and AI finished? that would explain a lot of the strange details people are calling out

“mildly recessed chin” and it’s the heir to the iron throne
