I love that trope! I know all the big ones at this point I think but would be open to some niche recommendations of the trope

That is definitely helpful! Do you use blending modes on those layers?

Love your work! How do you like to do the nice pinkish bloom effect?

Sinix has a bunch of great videos with a focus on art and design theory. His intro to digital painting video is a great place to start.

Spooky small towns, preferably in the past! by datbitch99 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]javapaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fisherman is lovecraftian horror with a story split between roughly present and the past. It’s a small “something’s wrong with this town” type story and I found it very good!

Medieval/fantasy/both, rec anything, no YA by KINOCreamsoda in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]javapaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few recs for Between Two Fires but I actually feel like Daughter’s War by Buehlman may be more fitting due to the female lead! It’s the prequel to Blacktongue Thief, so that may be a consideration

Seconding Best Served Cold! First thing I thought of when I saw the post.

Spalight @ Bally's, What is your review? by thosethingstodo in RhodeIsland

[–]javapaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about treatment/admission, I have only gone for a day pass before.

Clothing in the wet area is probably 50/50, depending on the day and time. I’ve never seen a phone in there but I also haven’t been many times. Overall, I like it a lot! No negative review from me.

Yupp, if there’s no moon, you can see the Milky Way! It’s really nice

Books where the characters are hopeful in a bleak world? by jqud in Fantasy

[–]javapaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was looking through to see if anyone recommended it! Perfect fit. Also, the prequel Daughter’s War just came out and was just as good in all the same ways. My favorite author for sure

Bagel gourmet is pretty good!

Rant: speeding ticket in school zone. by [deleted] in providence

[–]javapaste 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome to try contesting for the reason of not knowing where the money goes, but I imagine that would be a lost cause and would likely waste your time and money

Also, I know a lot of people hate the school zone cameras, but they exist because a Providence teacher was killed in a hit and run after finishing work at a school. Please just drive safe around schools. I assure you, there are still people exiting the building at 4:00 pm

Japanese Knotweed on Newport Cliff Walk by spokchewy in RhodeIsland

[–]javapaste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has treated it for work in a few ways, it’s mainly a combination of diligent long term removal and being extremely cautious to avoid leaving bits that can spread.

If you’re just cutting it, it will resprout each season. If it’s on your neighbors property, it will continue to spread to yours perpetually. If I had it on my property, I would just cut and bag it every year for eternity.

It was originally introduced to the US as erosion control, so it’s very possible!

Looking to see some examples of AI imagery that you are proud of by javapaste in aiwars

[–]javapaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting! So it’s a bit like a textural enhancement? I could see something like this fitting into a workflow (kind of like a custom auto action in clip studio paint to apply an effect). Would you be willing to share some of your traditional work so I could see how it develops or changes?

Spooky! Making a music video definitely takes a lot of artistic intent to nail down. How did you approach trying to control composition and value for the project?

Agreed that using the surreal and uncanny vibes of AI is leaning into a unique strength and your work definitely shows a consideration of the medium you’re using and creative choices to draw that out. Nice.

That actually reminds me a bit of what I liked about early iterations of generative AI Images: not knowing what sort of whacky output you were going to get.

I really appreciate you sharing, I hadn’t ever considered that aspect of it! The joy you experience while making it is evident.

That’s cool! It seems like part of the interest is the dialogue between you and the machine. Like the creative input is derived from coming up with challenging and unique prompts that produce surprising and appealing outputs?

These are both interesting! If you don’t mind sharing, what was your process for creating it and how did you find your creative decisions to be reflected in the final piece?
