This is the first drawing I made for 2023, why Did I post it after that other one? idk

but this was the first one! 1/2/2023 around like 2am-ish cuz I wanted a first drawing for the year, lol

It's kind of a reminder sometimes ya gotta let go, like last year!

Last year is the past now! It's good to not get too strung up on things, and I'm gonna work on that more often this year too! I hope everyone else does too! There's just too much hate in the world! Let's ALL try to be a little more positive, but like, none of that "be kind" crap. I hate those, they're so tacky. Just don't be a dick. oops I just said hate. Hey! Baby steps! haha, here's some cool varrients!

This next one is pretty interesting.

So like I was playing around with AI to see if it could recreate my little guy and it kinda did to an extent..

All I did was plop my guy on a transparent image with lot of space and gave it a prompt to copy the guy and this is what happened:

Kinda cute and interesting, I ended up using up all my free trial on this so I decided to edit it around some more and but some more cool effects on this.

I also got this too

Original drawing:

Then I told it to give him legs and it gave me some interesting results

I can't find the original but I asked dalle to make some other varrients and it gave me these

I then redrew one of them in a sketch out of inspiration and added it to the art

A lot of artists hate AI but I like to use it as brainstorming inspiration. I would never post it as my own as some kinda final draft of something. I strictly only use it for brainstorming / inspiration.

Here's some other layers turned off on this one btw.

The original image is yellow and later I 2 toned it to red & Navy when playing around with it in photoshop

lots of rainbow vomit, lol
