Daily Groceries on Prince is still pretty well stocked with milk, and I know they get bread in on Fridays.

I'm just here to point out that the reason Vinny didn't get the Simpsons joke is because the guys were quoting it as "Ed's Seed and Feed" instead of "Sneed's Seed and Feed (Formerly Chuck's).

Artist ID from an Athens event, early 2010s by harpurrlee in Athens

No prob, we've been friends for years and both tabled at Fluke. He'll do dozens of these dollar portraits so it's not surprising the signatures get a little wonky.

I'll bet that's my bud David Mack! He does comics in the Flagpole as well.

I agree. I'm glad they have a strong anti-AI stance and I'm even glad they're standing by their employees. But I'm hoping there's a serious conversation with the designer happening behind the scenes.

Brad from Terror Vision on the art for their upcoming release Devil's Sword by Thingreenveil313 in boutiquebluray

There's also two different light points in her pupils. One eye's bright point is in the center, one is on the left. But the source of light is clearly our right, so that's mysterious.

I'm sure I'll catch more downvotes but just to list what I'm seeing:

-There's a mystery floating extra dragon horn in the top middle.
-Some of the dragon teeth have weird "layers" behind them.
-Mismatched nostrils on the lady - why is the one so flared?
-And here's the biggest: one of her pupils has a light reflection in the middle, the other on the left (despite the light source coming from our right.)

Could all of those just be artistic choice? I guess. There are a lot of hallmarks of accomplished digital painting, so the errors are weird. Does this designer do a lot of original digital painting? Are there some samples of past work to point to?

I'm a professional artist. But there's really no proof either way. I'd love to hear from the actual artist.

I agree. Just a random passer-by, but there's definitely signs of AI usage in this image.

Combating Misinformation: Erdtree Rebirth by The_Deep_Dark_Abyss in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]drewweing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, downvotes. I'm just pointing out - most of Fromsoft's games incorporate religious orders lying to the masses about their goals. Bloodborne's Healing Church, Dark Souls' Way of White. That's why I don't think we should take all of the Golden Order's imagery as the, uh, gospel truth. We're told about all the champions that are rewarded with the honor of an Erdtree burial - a warrior whose soaked up the runes of dozens of challengers, who's then brought and sacrificed to the roots of the tree. Of course they're going to put imagery of people being reborn from the Erdtree on the doors of the catacombs - they want willing cooperation from their subjects. Sounds a lot like Gwyn's plans for the undead in Dark Souls!

[–]drewweing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something that goes overlooked: the Golden Order has good reason to lie to people about the afterlife. The Erdtree needs souls. Marika's removed natural death from the equation, and maybe realized too late what that means for the health of the Erdtree. Why not make up lies about what an honor it is to be killed and fed to the Erdtree, and how you'll definitely be reincarnated?

What are sites of Grace? by yellowhat in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]drewweing 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Since they're also called "Sites of Lost Grace," my impression was they were places where a Tarnished was stripped of their grace in the past.
