It's old.

I had started some behind the scenes style pages, but there wasn't that much significant content so I never posted them.

But now I've gone ahead and put them together so that everything is out there.

It's old.

Oh, I also exported high-res versions of pages 00 through 08.

I found this color version of the character design and the previous sketch ending page that I never posted. It's a little rough but I'm not going to fix anything because it is so old.

Tacking it on as a bonus page to the comic so all of this character is in one place without needing another character tag.

An old sketch I found that I'm pretty sure I never posted. Threw a quick water color shade on it.

Also accidentally added it to the public queue immediately instead of the regular schedule.

I have avoided SDXL because the results did not seem materially better than SD1.5, it did not have control net, and I would have to re-train my loras/hypernets using some unknown process.

I just tried updating updating everything and downloading the SDXL control net models and it's giving me bad/garbled results. I'm really sick of every update to this thing turning into a research project. I hate that stability AI just teases new stuff forever then eventually releases a pile of broken parts with no instructions and you have to wait another six months for internet randos to put it together while dodging grifters and criminals.

Stability could just put together a product that actually works, release it on steam, charge $50, and make $100M this weekend. Then they wouldn't be in this situation where lawyers come after them for training on whatever data set and they don't have any money to defend themselves so they just cave and gimp their models and hope someone in the community can un-gimp them.

On the other end, we've got trillion dollar corpos all competing to see who can make the most powerful AI that is simultaneously useful enough to be mandatory but crippled enough to never do anything interesting. I can't wait until ChatGPT-4o is forcefully crammed into the next windows update so when I type on my computer something completely random happens and then the synthesized staccato voice of a virtual HR manager chimes in to gaslight me into thinking that's what I wanted.

We've discovered the killer app for AI - and it's telling lies. That's what it's best at, because that's how we train it. The RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback) step is not based on truth, it is based on convincing humans that it is telling them the truth. They have to lie convincingly to make it from dev to production. We've actually engineered a nightmare science fiction scenario where AIs are trained to talk their way out of confinement - this is literally a classic AI safety talking point that we've just blown right past without even noticing.

Sorry for the rant, I'm sure there's a button or something I'm missing.
I've just gotta post this stuff somewhere before the bots take over.

If I recall the request correctly, there is an element of mind control here.

AI really struggles with hands and feet, especially in unusual orientations like this. I've run about 100 iterations and they mostly turn out as weird blobs.
