As you can see here ah had to go back and see how I was drawing the characters originally so that's why everyone here in particular suddenly look different now yuh hear?

They do look a little different! Well, it doesn't hurt to shake things up sometimes, like fer instance putting an active volcano into your story. That'll definitely shake things up!

All according to plan...

I'm just kind of sitting here drinking listening to tunes trying to think what happens next. I have the basic storyline thought out I just don't know how to get this thing going again...

It's been so long since we've seen this part of the story I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do some exposition here. There's just no two ways about it I say I must say. I'll try to keep it to a minimum...

Off Topic: I saw this one video that stated that The Girl From Impanema is the second most recorded song in history which got me to thinking what's THE MOST recorded song in history? I thought it would be The House Of The Rising Sun but just looked it up and NO, it's not that. So my question is, without looking it up what do YOU think it is? No prize or nothing I just thought it'd be fun to see what everybody in particular here thinks it is... What do YOU think it is?????

I'm pretty sure the most recorded song of all time is this one https://youtu.be/xvFZjo5PgG0

ROL I said REEcorded not RICKorded!

Not sure if any remember us, but we both say Hi.

Hi, and hi!

This is awesome to see you guys backos again. I thought you died at 9-11 or something.

Welcome back!

I just get so busy. Planning a wedding so, there's that.

Don't *plan* a wedding, just get someone pregangant and take it from there...

People still do weddings? ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )

Wishing you the best!!!

All I want is to make some money, everything else will follow.

Hell yeah bro let's do this! And then how about we all meet back here in 2024 and compare Porsches :3

I'll see your Porsche and raise you a Lotus.

I make a lot of money... just not for myself.

This pic actually made my day because I'm making significantly less money than before. If my P.V.S ever goes away and I don't suddenly kick the you know what I'll be off looking for a better job let me tell you. I haven't been here for quite a while because I'm so profoundly fatigued all the time. It's affected my cartooning big time for the past couple years and it's worse in the winter so my apologies for the few lame pages in this time. It's actually less severe this year but I've just said 'fuck it I'm drawing less for the time being. Just give me sleep'. Did I mention whining is also one of the symptoms because it is. The good news is I've quit smoking and I never bought any crypto currencies and did some other good investment moves at the beginning of the current natowar when people smarter than me said I was fucking CRAZY. So you wanna know what my outlook for this shitty year is? I'll tell you right here and now. I'll never believe anything they say ever again and fuck everyone except my honest and open-minded friends and all my buds and buddettes here at this whacky little backwater website.

Holy crap I'm FINALLY ready to transition to another part of the story. But I need your help everyone! My Mac-Mini from YEARS ago had the basic photoshop built into it which was awesome and EASY to figure out. The I-Mac I have now doesn't have anything like that. All I really need to do is download all 378 pages of Lust so I can do that old 'previously on Lust' thing where I take some panels from the previous pages to build up for the next part of the story. It'll pretty much be just copy and pasting some panels and being able to adjust their sizes so they fit into the panels of the next page. So if anyone's got any suggestions on what ap or whatever to download for doing something like that would be hugely appreciated. What I'm looking for is something SIMPLE to use and hopefully something cheap or free and safe to use while being compatible with a Mac. Any suggestions anyone?

378 pages long? I need so much reading to do. For drawing programs I just use the popular free ones, like GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, Blender.

Make that 379! In the process of saving every page I found out that I had two pages with the same page number. I had to edit about half of the pages as I saved them by the actual page numbers opposed to the drawing numbers shown when I opened them. Took forever and now my head is spinning after trying to keep everything from getting more mixed up.

I downloaded GIMP so I'll see if I can figure it out now...

I use a free version of Photoshop they released some years ago. I'm not sure if there is a Mac version of it. I tried Gimp, but I was disappointed with it. It can do simple graphic stuff, but it can't compare to Photoshop in function any more than a plastic tricycle compares with a motorcycle. Yeah, technically they are both vehicles...

I'm finding this GIMP practically impossible to use. I'm going through a tutorial right now and holy crap is there ever like five steps to go through just to do one thing.

It looks like no free version for Macs. I just installed Krita and seems to be quite easy to use, I'll try some more another day.

How I wasted my time in november... Will be my last AI generated image, I promise, don't hit me.

So, AI is the new fad right? She's really nice though... I love her.

Wait, you mean AI as in artificial intelligence? How's it work, you just say Siri draw me a furry chick or something?

Text-to-image generators are small simulated brains which have learned to progressively remove noise from images to the point that they can generate a new image from pure noise and some textual description. The technology matured this year and now any amateur can download such a brain copy, put it on a server or personal computer and make it generate amazing pictures. During these last monthes, people also put back some brains in training by feeding them with porn and yiff. So now one can download a small brain who will happily produce as much naughty pictures as you want. Now if you want to make your AI generate art in your own style, and not generic stereotyped anthro art, you need more AI tooling so to inject your style in the AI's skillset. I've not tried this yet, so as an artist I've been quite disappointed by what I get. For example, I can't put a satisfying kangaroo tail to this nude character. I'd like her to have a kind of shark/otter/dragon tail but any attempt of mine to modify the IA inputs fails miserably.

AI is taking over...Art now will become a "hobby" at most, like coloring in a coloring book or painting a pumpkin at Halloween. It's over, man! xD Lol I heard all about this a while ago - the Japanese have pretty much perfected these AI image generators but they are now being used for various "bad things" I won't say what but just imagine and you will know what I am talking about. Kiwifarms has a thread about it in any case.

My gut-feeling is that downloading one of these 'brain copies' is a horrible idea because the main feature of AI is that it writes its own code. The establishment's excuse for all the things Edward Snowden has proven is 'hey it's all done by privately owned corporations so it's not the government so it's OK'. In the future they're going to say 'hey it's all done by AI so it's not a privately owned corporation so it's OK'. Except the only problem is the AI has written code 'to survive' so it'll be impossible to get rid of. Even if you go out and buy a new computer.

That looks great! I can't get A.I. to make anything even close to this. It works great at generating weird shit, though.

She's angry about something, I think.

What a cute crybunny! Aw man, I just want to give those ears a little tug

Xod posting? Me nothing to say? Whatever, I comment.

She's pissed off they're called 'tampons' when they should be called 'tamp ins'...

I can feel her pain!

She is angry at you for not posting more art

She's right, I don't believe what happened to her! And check out that motion blur on panel 8, I don't know if he was more excited by the mention of the Hitchhiker's Guide or by the appearance of the disembodied rabbit head. Both are interesting subjects for discussion!

That's right! For the time being they're The Averages!

Hope there's room for a newcomer...

Welcome! ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )

Hey, I never expected you'd show up here. Welcome aboard. 8)

Hi there and welcome, I love your cute art!

I used to frequent oekaki boards all the time back in the day. Something just reminded me of them, so I sought them out and funny I found this particular one. Yo, Pig.

Welcome to this wacky place!

A belated welcome! Enjoy your stay and/or visit

Welcome! That's a great doodle! Your signature looks very interesting too. Like Lovecraft's elder sign.

It's a Masonic symbol! If only we had an ex-mason here to decode its meaning.
