Non-horse kid is weird because “he” was a girl when I drew this strip originally, and changed it up on computer in post. The girl is actually from my other comic series, and her attitude doesn’t fit. Because I am turned Centaur Boy into a douchebag. Also why weird cropping in last frame. And why the boy’s face still looks like a girl. I didn’t want to redraw, so I did stitch up in post.
If this was going to real print, I’d work harder. But it’s Lemmy and I like putting the stuff out there fast and quick. You’ll also see the version on .blaha where someone crossposted before I noticed my cut and paste in bottom was off in sizing. So it looks different than this one.
Brah, think about it: if AI was what I used, then I would have just told it to fix it. I’ve already put my steps up in my comm with pics of my process and screen caps of my photopea layers set up.
I’m happy to talk process, storytelling, scripting, fuckups, etc, tho. Especially if u are a fellow cartoonist! But you’re reading way too deeply into it. I sketch my shit, magic maker a bit, take a pic w my phone, take onto computer, fill solids, add dusty overlay and specks, and post. It ain’t that deep. It ain’t that good. And it ain’t ai.
Try it. Go tell ai to make a comic about a horseboy. I’m sure it’ll do a better job than I did! lol
EDIT: Young Lemmy really really needs to look into the 1960’s underground alt art movement. Mickey mouse fucking and eating ass (air pirates), betty boop being a slut, the scribbles of Jimbo, and weirdness of Raw. Also a lot of examples of using cheesy art to be sarcastic and wild. Any of that shit was posted now, you’d all cry ai. Someone the other day bitched that my art was too ugly to be created by a person (thanks!), and obviously he had never seen the Far Side, or the Oblongs or the original Addams Family strip from way before the tv show. Seriously, just wikipedia “Underground Comix.” Oh and go discover a punk comic called “Jimbo,” cuz uh… cuz that artist is GOAT!
Apart from all the right things you say, this may be wrong:
if AI was what I used, then I would have just told it to fix it
People posting AI don’t always care to even ask for fixing. But it’s an interesting that now every inconsistency an artist makes tends to be attributed to AI (like there were never any inconsistencies or mistakes before)
