* NEW ART ! ( Not here. . 25) Giant over the city... Posted 12 days ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - This image was easier to do because there wasn't a lot of alteration needed to finish it. This was sent to me by Ianto who generated the original but it had two tails and the feet didn't look right so it was changed so that the second tail was removed, the feet were fixed and some work on the background was done near the character so that it looked like the surrounding buildings.


Story - Huge macro kitty straddles two buildings at night with a full moon behind them, the buildings must have been put up with macros in mind to withstand that kind of weight.

No new art but some big updates... Posted 1 month ago
Some new things to pass on...

1. No new art this week - Apologies for having nothing new to post this week but that is because of how busy things are. Between the job, the flood of annual chores and some government work its going to be hard to get anything done for the next couple of weeks. Something is in progress but its not done yet and I've been experimenting with some changes to the way I do things to see if gets done faster and looks good.

2. Update on the move - Over the last while I've mentioned a move that was going to happen in the next two years. Due to the crazy expensive housing situation in my area and the demand for affordable housing its 80% likely that it won't happen. When I talked to the management outfit that runs this place they told me that...

* NEW ART ! ( Not here. . 24) Sexy gnoll dancer. . . Posted 2 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - New piece of artwork that started with a user named Max Pitbull on a Telegram group that I frequent generating a base image of a good looking hyena/gnoll character. When I saw the image I knew what could be done with it but the image had to be altered quite a bit to fit the look of a D&D Gnoll that I played in an old campaign. The gnoll character was cut and pasted onto a background that was generated separately as well as a couple of photo segments that were cut and pasted into the scene for additional details, a true hybrid piece. Once all these elements were in the picture the rest of the work consisted of detailing, shading and finishing work.

* NEW ART ! ( Not here. . 23) Ben's got something to show... Posted 2 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - An old picture that I did over a decade ago was recently found so I ran it through an Ai generator to see what would happen. The first images that came out from the input data weren't any good so more attempts were needed to get a good base image. Once that was done it was enlarged and loaded into Photoshop where about 60% of the picture was repainted or altered to get the finished version of the image seen at the other end of the links below.


Story - A nice warm summer's day on the farm and big Ben sits on a lawn chair and says he's got something to show you, " My face isn't the only thing thats long. "

* NEW ART ! ( Not here. . 22) Tegan deer kinky look... Posted 2 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - This was an experimental image that started with a lot of attempts at getting an anthro deer looking at the viewer in a sort of greeting. It took a LOT of base images to get to something that was useful, then I got a good base image to work on and had to redo a lot of the background and then alter or paint over a lot of Tegan himself. I had a good reference picture of Tegan from a photo of his VRChat avatar. Tegan's clothing and kink wear come from that picture but I had to repaint and redo a lot of that was well to get the final version of the picture.

Story - Tegan deer stands in a forested area where you meet up with them and they give you the double peace sign...

* NEW ART! ( Not here 21 ) Lycanmike Among us... Posted 3 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - I've always liked the buff version of Lycanmike's Avatar in VRChat so I decided to do an Ai hybrid version of it to see what would result. Started by generating a base image, then had to get a screen grab of the Avatar to get the scratches on the chest right whjile at the same time getting a 4K screen grab of the cafeteria in VRChat Among us. With all that acquired it was a matter of putting the Avatar in the screen grab and painting, detailing it to look like a more realistic version of Mike's Avatar.


Story - Lycan Mike is playing Among us in a Whiskey Dingo VRChat stream and when Whiskey greets him teasingly Mike responds in the way I would expect him to.

* NEW ART! ( Not here 20 ) Electrowolf at the lake. . . Posted 3 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - This image is a true hybrid in that there are 3 types of imaging combined to make this one scene. To make this picture there is part photo manipulation, part Ai Generated and a lot of it was painted, repainted and touched up to get the finished version you see at the links provided.

Story - Electrowolf is seen walking along a Pacific Northwest lake shore trail not far from where he lives.

* NEW ART! ( Not here 19 ) Toons from VRChat Jan 2021... Posted 3 months ago
A new piece of hybrid art has been posted on my Twitter(X) and Bluesky accounts...

Production - 3 Years ago this week I was watching a Twitch stream by NekoHaiku. He was in VR Chat playing Murder 4 with that cute Canis Avatar named Toons. I took some screen grabs of Toons and ran them through an Ai generator to see what would come up. I got several good base images including one that was in the same pose as the screen grab but it was mangled and the colors were wrong. This image was saved, upscaled and loaded into photoshop where it was repainted into the finished version that you see here. I also thought that was really nice of the generator re imager to put him in the game!

Story - Another screen grab of Toons that shows them in the Murder 4 lobby, the reimaged...

2023, Get the f outta here! Posted 3 months ago
The year that was 2023...

Going to keep it fairly short and sweet or sour, the year that was 2023 was not good overall. . .

I spent most of the year injured, had lots of drama with an idiot neighbor that I can't stand and am now at war with. The world going to shit in general but whatever, it is what it is so on we go. . . There's been this general feeling of getting nothing done in what was a wasted 12 months due to that long term serious injury. in short 2023 sucked!

2024 however has promising possibilities . . . There's a decent chance I'll get to hang out with someone that I haven't seen in a long time in mid to late February, maybe another one or two others. I also want to continue doing the new New Hybrid art, maybe a bit more writing. With no...
