It seems that I'll have to start adding disclaimers to my 3d art that this is not AI but commercially sourced 3d models I set up, posed, and lit myself, and 2d postwork which I also did myself as just today, one of my pieces was taken for AI. Probably because of the word "rendered."

Today I have another render from the "I'll just try things out," kind. And though I sometimes start working with a clear idea in mind, I also enjoy the fun of discovering how the image will end up. Sometimes, they turn out unexpectedly well or teach me something new.

post a show ✨ older ✨ than you are (it took some digging, but I found one just slightly older than I am; yes, I'm _that_ old)

Yes, this is exactly what happened to me this week. I vaguely remembered the fact, dug out the details, and now it's a part of the setting for my new book.

It's Monday, I have a lot to do and, unsurprisingly, low motivation ratio to the amount of work needed done. Let's see how many tasks I can power through before I run out of steam.

While Kaja drowns in problems that magically altered Ireland definitely doesn't lack, a bridge dweller Three-Bones (and a seagull connoisseur) enjoys a much simpler life in which a good meal, often a soup, is an answer to any issue. Grab book 1 of this series for $0.99: bf.authorjm.com/Huma...

I'm writing, and I typed "because" but what showed on my screen was... "bed." Is my subconscious sending me messages?

This render was fun, though it took me three times to get the lighting to be appealing. Its title alone, "There Are Two Wolves in You...", should explain the concept behind it.

I'm usually a binge reader, so I like to get through the whole series if it's available, but sometimes, when the series (or the books) is long, I take a break. How about you?

If you’re that person who likes to talk on their phone at 9:30pm, do it in your own home, and not under your neighbors’ bedroom window. Yes, we have very inconsiderate neighbors and enough of them that this is a quite common occurrence, not one-off asshat.

It's Monday, and my to-do list is a page long. Possibly longer if I bothered to write down some minor tasks... Are your day's planes as packed?

I guess I desperately need a break if I read "whisked away" as "whiskeyed away." ... And I'm not even a whiskey drinker.

Friendship is at the center of the complex plots that make up Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, and it was fun to write Kamira and Veelk's friendly banter. This time, it's Veelk who has the last word. Get By the Pact: bf.authorjm.com/ByTh... Get the full series: bf.authorjm.com/PAAO #fantasybooks

This render started like many others: testing the model, the outfit, the environment. Sometimes these pieces become happy accident I'm satisfied with. Sometimes, they're just "an a-okay" images like this one.

If you do leave words, you can just write one sentence. No need to write an essay or sound like a professor.
