Artists, show us your red art ๐Ÿฉธ

couple of older pieces here but I think they've still got their merits

I got another foster baby last Monday. Meet Ravioli, a stray with no history. Vet says she's 'older' so will see what they say when she gets her vaccines. Also, give her a blanket and she's a biscuit making machine ๐Ÿ’ช

Ahh! Thank you so much Nathan! I can't wait to take what I've learned into another project

Honestly very sensible and probably what I'll do, I'm just lazy and publishing it on artstation was easy ๐Ÿ˜…

A tutorial/breakdown is probably a good idea... I'm just so lazy ๐Ÿ˜…

Like, this feels like a 'no' since it's not part of a larger project - but it might 'reasonably add value beyond the value of the Licensed Content'

Question for the group; when I render hair cards in Unreal, I generally used an edited version of the Paragon hair shader. I've had a lot of people ask me about what shader I use, can I throw my edited version of the Paragon Shader on ArtStation for free? I'm thinking 'no' but need better input...

Tumblr user nocryptographer:
I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.
A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.
AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.
Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.
There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.
I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. 
If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... 
then it's real.

Oh, I should have added I'm just the fosterer, she'll stay here for a couple of months, get all her vaccinations and health checks before getting adopted properly โค๏ธ

New arrival! This is Ravioli, an older stray found wandering and handed in to the local vet. She got a little tatty ear and a scraped nose but is very soft โค๏ธ

Doing the base layer on Millenia's hair

it looks pretty intimidating until you realize it's basically three huge ponytails woven with an amount of hair worth of Hatsune Miku
