I found this to be a really helpful video by @pikat.io on drawing clothing that covered things I hadn't considered before like

thicker fabric=fewer folds and being consistent with whether your lineart shows creases vs shadows in the cloth

give this bollard an award
Street Art - Ireland

A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁

Is MTPE a happy medium? Certainly not for the translators, over 90% of whom are adverse to the practice (source: www.linkedin.com/posts/caroli...). Pretty sure the percentage is even higher in creative fields.

I am (demonstrably) willing to pay above market rates for a novel if I think it will net me a human, considered, high-quality translation of this kind of work. If it’s going to be AI slop I would simply not purchase it at any price.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?

Happy to lend my expertise to this article.

Light Novels are already being pirated with machine translation. Publishers have been beaten to the punch — and will need human translation to earn their readers’ dollar.
