@metin Absolutely adore the first one, it has such a great Euro platformer mascot vibe to it 😁

@dinosaurgerms Haha, well, I used to be a pixel artist for Euro platformers, so that'd make sense. 😃

@metin ai or handmade?

Hmm looks like you're a blender guru, nice creations.

@f4grx Thanks! I enjoy 3D creation, and using AI doesn't give me any satisfaction, so these are all genuinely modeled, textured, lit and rendered.

@metin @f4grx I think we’re at a sad point in history where all genuine creations need a tag like #HumanMade or just plain #NotFuckingAI

@santiago @f4grx Yeah, the "What prompt did you use for this?" guys are pretty annoying. 😒

@metin @f4grx I can imagine. In the past I boosted daily pixel art “creations” from an artist only to realize he was just pumping out AI stuff being intentionally vague about the technique. He even accepted donations…

I wish posts or just accounts had some crowdsourced “verified human” signature so I could instantly know. Right now asking is the only way but it’s sort of insulting.

@santiago I've got a big suspicion which "pixel artist" you're referring to. It took me a while in my naivety to realize it is AI. 😏

@metin I doubted first with “How the hell can a human being do this every single day without a single pause”, considering it’d be hours of work each time. I was actually admiring the dedication for a while.

Then I looked at weird textures etc which I naively attributed to bad compression…

@metin your skills are amazing. The control of shapes is enough to blow my mind.

@f4grx Many thanks, much appreciated! 👍
