Pangolin had it coming, setting up meetings without looking at coworkers' calendars. Fuck you, discount armadillo, you're not more important than me!

How dare you besmirch pangolin. Pangolin is best animal.

He abuses his cuteness to avoid consequences. He's a sociopath, is what he is!

AI can generate an absolutely perfect pangolin, but keyboards? Mathematically impossible!

I take it you didn’t like my comic, then?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not a fan of AI but I did like your comic premise.

Since I can’t draw, but I still have ideas, this seemed like the best way. ADHDinos is basically like the same 3 images over and over and no one seems to mind that. Plus, I shudder at the thought of trying to vector trace all those pangolin scales. I’m glad you liked it though.

This got me thinking.. Is there a place on Lemmy where you can post an idea, and others collaborate to improve it?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Like a drawing, or like other stuff?

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If Dinosaur Comics can write utterly classic comics using the same exact clipart every time, you can do it too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was honestly hoping the Lemmy anti-AI knee-jerk responses would not have bled over into this community, but clearly that hope was in vain.

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Homie you're gonna face that everywhere, not just Lemmy. GenAI is built on the intellectual property theft of thousands of artists. Nobody is going to applaud you for taking an unethical shortcut.

Just draw some doodles, you have enough talent to draw some simple characters, you'll get better over time and I am sure you'll have more fun doing it. Think of all the rage-comics 15 years ago, all trash level ms-paint art, massive and long lasting impact on pop-culture. Talent isn't required for memes, just ideas!

XKCD is literally stick figures, for example, and has more or less remained stick figures since its inception.

[–] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You don't have to vector trace. Just try your best freehand with simple shapes and get better over time. A lot of digital drawing software has pen smoothing and you can adjust the paths after the fact if you use Inkscape/Illustrator.

I was going to say I don’t have the desire to devote the time it would take, but then I realized: I have never tried drawing digitally before. And I totally already have everything I need to do it. And now I am intrigued.
