My biggest fear & hatred towards the existence of genAI/AI art is making people’s perception changed that artists’ imperfections in their works = AIslop.

Dispatch is overall okay! There are some flaws (sobs why only 2 women romanceable😭), but I love every single characters! Z-Team, Blonde Blazer, Chase, Royd, Phenomaman, even Galen!
Also same VA, so everytime I hear Robert, I see Nyx from Final Fantasy XV Kingsglaive. 🏃♀️💨

Watched a new donghua called The Last Dynasty; so far I watched till episode 4 (it's ongoing! Just came out recently)
The visuals are so beautiful (bonus: red & green eiyoo!!) & the story is interesting! It's not BL danmei, but fans sometimes ship them, so the author is okay with it.

Also checking other donghua & this is SO GOOD (it's not danmei, but more of friendship/bromance thing. Yet so many hints they felt like lovers😭)
I wheezed when these two point out clearly to us "I'm straight" "Me too"😂 //it's either author's OG vision or CN censorship idk//
The show is good!

I've watched Season 1 in Youtube!
Watch S2 first then S1😭; it's definitely a very different experience. But it's rewarding nontheless!
I dont know how to articulate my feeling towards this donghua because this show felt ethereal; like blessed by heaven (pun intended😆) & I never felt like-

Testing poster-ish //when look back, this looks like book cover😅// for my animation thesis film (a bit burnout from animating, but my energy revitalized with drawing illustration).
Also I'm nervous for thesis proposal defense next week.

Today's my freetime day from thesis. So I revisit my hiatus Red Herald oc webcomic to revise/summarize to 60-pages oneshot.
While I'm looking forward to focus 2 gays only, it's sad that side characters who important to Veil & Liang had to cut out😭 There are other story trimmed & straight to point

Initially I want to sneak in 4 divine beings of my old fanart design of Southeast Asian mythology Four Guardians from MMZ. But I was a bit hesitant while there are 4 divine beings under Dewa, but they reside in Earth, & two of them already appear in earlier animation😭
So I put the 4 colours only🏃🏻♀️

My proposal defense (for Master degree) got postponed due to city lockdown; Trumpet’s visitation to my country.
Here’s some progress so far, but unfortunately not yet show another teaser “trailer” animation until I’m sure I pass my proposal defense (which sadly it’ll be late due to said postpone)

Back in 2023, I got test my DNA for the first time (FamilytreeDNA). I chose cheapest one during sale (tho still expensive like RM300+, but cheaper compared to local ones that sadly cost RMthousands).
While I noted in my mind DNA test most likely Eurocentric, this felt a bit true.🤔
I'm curious-
