I found the AI Ghibli meme recreations funny. To my (very limited) knowledge, people are just recreating memes and scenes in that style, and aren’t trying to pass it off as art or anything. Parody is protected by law. If someone actually were trying to make their own movies in that style with AI, that’d be different.

@the_lost-journal

Oh no, what have we ducks gotten into with this alliance??

I use AI! I started using It after my dad and others started using AI to help us with church lessons and such. I use ChatGPT for that, but I have one specifically for writing I use. I mostly use it to help with outline stuff and ideas for scenes and editing scenes and such (and its always complimenting me which is a  huge boost to my ego XD)

@erinramm

Were you one of the moderators at some point? Because we can’t find any of them.

@reaganramm

You are currently the only one listed on the Meet the Team page. What happened to Kathleen? Do you still exist here?

@captain

Who are you? Your tag looks like a moderator…

@kathleenramm

Hello??? Please reply.

A little message to those who are new to drawing. Most How to Draw books aren’t worth the money!

Most of the ones I’ve seen look like this:

Yeah, they show how they got from one to three but they don’t explain anything. They don’t explain anatomy or technique, just how to copy them to get the results they got. While you may learn a couple tips…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

totally fine! I hope you had fun!

@the_lost-journal

If I had a nickel for every time a man dressed up like a girl from something made in Japan, I would have a lot of nickels……….

yeah for a society so bent it’s kinda strange too lol. Ig if it’s frowned upon irl people get curious and write it into shows.

Tales of ba sing se is the best and it’s absolutely criminal it’s the one y…[Read more]

@everyone

All y’all’s art looks amazing 🤩

Me being me, I started about four different 3-marker-drawings 🙄 but this was the first one I finished. I’m pretty happy with it for the most part.

(Sorry, just realized the lighting is kind of not good. Oh well)

(Also, partial disclaimer, I did accidentally ‘cheat’ on this one. I was going to layer mor…[Read more]

True! From Cowboy Bebop, Faye Valentine, the only other girl character, was dressed… immodest. She was a good character, and she did a lot of good stuff and was important to the plot… but her outfit and body was solely for service.  The other girl character was my favorite character from the whole show, and she was a child! So v…

Ooh, fun! I’ll be praying!

@keilah-h

XD

It’s totally fine. Discussion is good.

But thank you @mineralizedwritings for moving it to the Chat Chat.

@keilah-h

yeah it’s hard! I’ve been trying really hard with dynamic posing this last year too, it’s a major deficit in my skills lol.

Oh and yeah, we should probably have taken this to the chat chat.

@the_lost-journal @keilah-h

All discussion of anime now moving to the chat chat lol. Pls tag me over there if you want to respond to the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

It’s really good! And has a great art style like you said.

I think if the arc is done well and she finds other purpose in life it’s ok, it’s all about the intention, and if they are doing it for the enjoyment of the audience. Something I’ve noticed is that two different animes can have the same girl in a short skirt but one will use…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ikr it’s so weird! I mean it’s worth noting that Japan has very little Christian influence and we have a lot here. Even if a lot of modern day Christians don’t all follow the bible our countries foundations still have a influence.

Yeah I’ve struggled to learn how to draw girls because of this too! A lot of comics have bad stuff in them…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Don’t worry I was pretty sure that was a typo lol.

The only reason why girl characters are in it half the time is for service 🙄 That is why I like the main girl from 86 ( I am going to reference that a lot XD) she is…. how do I put I??? She has a … flatter chest… I hope that isn’t inappropriate XD uhm… but yeah, she is modest. A…

@the_lost-journal

 I did copy the pose from the game though…so is that bad?

Of course not. You still drew the drawing yourself, and most the reason people need references is pose much of the time.

Thanks, and please do, anything!

Okay. I noticed in your picture that you made the sketch out of very short lines. This is often called ‘chicken sc…[Read more]
