"Whoa, hehe... Relax. It was mostly smoke and noise. None of the really dangerous stuff." - "I do not care. You will never do that again." - "But she-" - "NEVER. AGAIN. Do you understand?" - "Uh... yes. Yes, of course."

A 3D model of my OC, The Stranger.

He is standing in a grassy landscape, showing a simple stone-like texture and being overgrown with plants. This is a render from 2023, based on an ancient Blender experiment from 2012.

He is floating upside down while mimicking the rubbery appearance of a yellow balloon. A sign in the background displays information about the chemical element helium, like it would appear in the periodic table.

A little something for #GetToKnowMeTober2025.

Since I'm already spamming y'all with Ria's pack, here's a different #OC that's really precious to me.

The Stranger emerged from a random Blender test and insisted on becoming my artist companion. More of a familiar by now, I suppose. ๐Ÿ˜„

Not sure if many know, but considering it is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this might just feel fitting.

If you ever come across a website that does a CloudFlare security prompt, and it asks you to "copy" something - DON'T. This is an attempt to get you to run malware. It's becoming more common.

A digital drawing of Areon, one of my Werewolf-Elf OCs.

He was just startled by an explosion while writing in his journal. The quill slipped across the page, leaving a trail of ink behind, and he accidentally knocked the inkwell off the table.

4-panel-comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A witch in a black dress and pointy hat stands next to a broken vase on the floor. She looks at her black cat, Lord Nibbles, and says, "Another broken vase?" Lord Nibbles sits calmly on a table. Panel 2: The witch says, "Great. Now I have to get a new one." Lord Nibbles watches her from the table with a sly expression. Panel 3: Later: The witch, holding a new vase box, declares, "No more throwing down!" Lord Nibbles looks on with a scheming gaze. Panel 4: The witch places a bouquet of flowers in the new vase while Lord Nibbles, now inside the new vase box, triumphantly declares, "Another victory." The box is tipped over, revealing Lord Nibbles' true plan all along.

Humans Are Biased. Generative AI Is Even Worse Text-to-image models amplify stereotypes about race and gender โ€” hereโ€™s why that matters

That's really unnerving - and sadly, it's not surprising.

It reminds me of another experiment two years ago. That one also showed heavy biases regarding gender and skin color in faces that Stable Diffusion generated for specific occupations.

A drawing of eight tiny little clover people known as "cloverkin" crossing over a mossy log. One is sitting on a broken branch stump, one is waving at us, one is showing a four-leafed member a tiny leaf they found while the four-leafed cloverkin holds a tiny staff and looks impressed. There is a parent and child cloverkin skipping along the branch behind them and at the far end of the log, one cloverkin is giving another a piggyback. In the background there is a forest and a river.
