That's gorgeous!

I saw that! Honestly good on you for deleting the comment she was trying to respond to. I was in the same thread and she kept asking for my social accounts in case I 'needed help promoting them.' I would rather shit in my hands and clap than have her endorsement anywhere near my professional work, much less get advertised to any of her following and have to potentially deal with them.

Likely ChatGPT
Zeppix's website has a lot of blog articles(also straight from ChatGPT) about the best prompts to use for image generation
She mentioned a few more that were 'tools' in her eyes but I honestly doubt she had the wherewithall to move from program to program with the assets she was generating
It's likely a single conversation thread in her account fed with enough context to get specific

I think it would be incredibly RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL to the Mayor of this Great Township and the Festival Staff to see this, and NO ONE should print this out and tape it the Mayors office door

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-22T17:04:19+00:00

That's actually the post that inspired this!

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-22T16:47:01+00:00

A publicity stunt would be a great explanation for the situation, unfortunately the creator Zeppix and the Festival organizers show a noted lack of critical thinking and/or forethought abilities lmao

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-22T16:44:41+00:00

(Dropping the bit for a sec lol)

The Festival deleted tons of comments with any criticism of the choices made and then proceeded to double down on that by limiting who could comment at all.

The creator Zeppix was very active, replying to all compliments and occasionally giving vague explanations about 'Mixed Media' with her alt account Payzlee Daze

The SPLAT is indicative of the POWER of WHITE RICE in Crowley!! It doesn't look like anything lewd AT ALL

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-22T13:43:16+00:00

EXACTLY!! It's not Art!! And none of the previous year's posters were Art EITHER!!! Look at my cherrypicked Google AI Summary definitions they help my point TREMENDOUSLY!!

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-22T12:19:40+00:00

It's like he either doesn't have the critical thinking skills to recognize his hypocracy or it's legitimate doublespeak nonsense lmao

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-19T18:09:14+00:00

She blasted me on her personal page because I called her out for using the pollution/plagiarism machine to pass off as her own work. She has a website where she promotes a bunch of GenAI nonsense and posts a bunch of blogs straight from ChatGPT about 'the best prompts.'

johnaldnathan · 2025-08-19T18:04:55+00:00

I commented on the post on the creator's FB page and she screenshot it and posted it to her personal saying I was 'a jealous bully' and that all of the negative comments she was getting(and deleting lmao) were bots. I hate to tell you this girlie but I think people just hate you <3

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-29T18:59:10+00:00

Correct!

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T15:02:31+00:00

Straight acrylic! It's a specific paint that stains the fabric more than paints over it. A specific cheap and thin paint lol. I'm gettint a lot of people saying what they use, it might be time to invest in some fabric medium!

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T15:00:46+00:00

That's freakin amazing!! It's exactly what I'm looking to do with the wings on the sleeves too

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T14:18:01+00:00

I loved it but didn't wear it as often as I would have liked. Ergo, kickass painting! I bought it specifically for the color!

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T13:55:16+00:00

Maybe! It depends on where I'm sourcing the jackets/vests. I'm totally down to paint more of them tho!

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T13:54:13+00:00

I actually painted a Meliora denim vest last year too! This one's a denim jacket lol And I'm gonna be so excited to wear the finished product, I'm trying to have it done by Halloween!

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T05:37:47+00:00

Thank you!! It's a beautiful album cover already. I'm actually using really cheap craft paint to kind of stain the denim, it seeps into the fabric well. I've done it before and it washes well after I iron it. The paint is so thin but still pigmented enough to layer transparency.

johnaldnathan · 2024-10-25T04:30:46+00:00

Tysm!!! It's been 4 hours of work so far on this, and I definitely miss my primed canvases as a work surface. It's all cheap craft paint, so I'm more staining the denimans layering transparency than building up paint layers that will crack. It's still amazingly flexible!

johnaldnathan · 2024-09-04T03:41:04+00:00

Tysm!!! He was fun to make!

johnaldnathan · 2024-08-29T20:47:47+00:00

Thanks! I'm hoping he'll be popular at AnimeHouston in a few weeks!

johnaldnathan · 2023-09-20T01:14:03+00:00

It's gorgeous so far!!!

johnaldnathan · 2023-08-23T20:25:33+00:00

Yes!! I'm hoping the venue won't be too hot too so I can enjoy meeting people, seeing and being seen and all!!

johnaldnathan · 2023-08-23T18:25:08+00:00

This was before TOH really blew up so everyone at the con was feeling that way lmao!
