I love how AI slopmeisters refer to themselves by bullshit titles like “Hybrid Artist” like they’re the next stage of human evolution and not, you know, frauds.
Anyway, here’s a real painting.

I sometimes think about how they had to redesign the anacondas in Anaconda (1997) to be scarier because real anacondas have derpy baby seal faces.

Adding a bit to an older color sketch page.
I’m trying, little by little, to remember my traditional media roots and ween off digital work a bit. I think I’m getting there, but there’s more to be done.
