Hey this is Seraph5 (she/her)! This blog will mostly consist of fanart and long silences when I get trapped out in the real world. There will be a lot of whatever ship is setting my world on fire and whatever ships always have. Live long and prosper!
I feel like a much lesser and still annoying thing about AI art is that as an artist you can see every damn thing that is wrong with the pictures people love to shove in your face and tell you they're beautiful. What if I went to a person's desk and just slightly moved everything every day so they could tell something was wrong but no-one else could? Wouldn't that be a pain in the fucking ass? That's fucking AI to me. Went into a house and tilted all the hanging things so they all hung just a bit wrong. It's the niggling at the back of your mind of all the lessons that were drilled into you for your whole life to get right just thrown in your face.
The best part of tumblr imo is very much the niche shit you find on here. Like yeah "fandom" is mainstream these days, the internet is flooded with Star Wars content but where the fuck else am I supposed to find the most unhinged gay shitposts about the old men from 2000s hit tv show House MD. Who in the year of our lord 2023 is thinking about Ben from Lost?? ME and 12 other incredible ppl on this hellsite, that's who
What follows is my ramblings about how I designed them (I’m up to chapter 28 for context of how much info I have at this stage):
So these two presented such a fun and interesting design challenge. Given Effie was born in 1893 and they sound 30s-ish (give or take a few years) I decided to use 1920-30 time period to ground their attire. I consider them to be a bit more rural than straight up city folk and their clothes reflect that. Effie and Zebulon are what I would call progressive for their time so when they’re kicking it at home I imagine Effie wears Zebs shirt and belt to keep her clothes out of her way while fiddling with radio equipment and to attach her exterior pockets and nicknacks to. I also went back and forth on Effie’s hair forever. Technically hairstyles of time are very much big and up or tight and back/ styled to look short but it was just very very hard for me to see Effie in that restricted way. She’s such an interesting mix of practical and progressive that i gave myself yet a free pass and say around home she could do a half up half down. Zebulon on the other hand is much closer to the regular though attractive fashion of the time.
Can’t wait to do the radio version of these two now ✨
So I binged the entirety of How To Build a Sex Room last night and this one scene just cracked me up
The designer's at a western leather/tack store looking for supplies to make a rustic-style sex swing and turns to one of the store employees for advice, which initially goes about as amusingly as you would expect
So then she pulls up some pictures to give him an idea of what she needs
Original artwork! Cat-themed polaroid set for all cat lovers!
