If you could push a button that gives you a hundred thousand dollars but a random person dies, would you do it?

Interesting thought experiment… intuitively, I’d say no, but it’s worth thinking about… it’s a genuine moral dilemma in a capitalist world: there’s a dialectic between our desires and the common good…

MEANWHILE, BILLIONAIRES

    Apologies to all the foot fetishists, I eventually gave up trying and thus have failed you.

    Guess I have new anatomy lessons to grind. Shit’s hard yo.

      You managed to create the most disturbing non-ai foot I’ve seen today, so that’s nice

      Love the comics!

        AIs have become decent at anatomy these days, haven’t they?

        That’s one job they won’t take from us in the long term, finding new ways to mess up drawings. I’m always a step ahead.

          Maybe so, I don’t really follow that progress

          ‘They’ have not. They cannot learn and have no skills.

          They have competent artist content fed into the massive pile of numbers they compute output with, though, so they can output things that look like competently drawn feet.

      I like that it’s not a realistic human foot. Sometimes art should capture the idea of a thing rather than just the superficial image of the thing, you know? It has character.

        I’ll keep that one in mind, next time someone criticizes my anatomy I’ll tell them “son, it has character”.

        Actually I need to repeat that bit to myself until I am convinced. Feels like a healthy mantra.

      Foot: just a stupid, broken hand with tiny fingers and a super fucked up fused wrist. What’s so hard about that? (This is a joke, my foot drawings also look fucked. What even are feet?)

      A streamer artist guy says pretty often that you can spend as much time on a foot as the entire rest of the character. Apparently that’s how difficult feet are to draw properly lol

      You could do a version where he’s wearing shoes and is fully on the button board, chair discarded in the background and he’s basically just playing Twister with the button board
