Yeah I was also thinking something either AI, or a whole bunch of filters/photo collage. The girl doesn't really look rendered by a human (although I know there are artists who can do that, it takes a lot of work). Either way, it could be an autonomous work, but I doubt it.

Honestly, it's actually the rise of AI art that's making me eager to go back to my art roots, less as a creator but more as a researcher. I think it's becoming more and more important we get a more thorough understanding of what art is to us, what entices us about it, and whether we want that to be replaced by something a machine can think of.

And now I cant unsee it :')

Gota be said; these seagulls are of way more peacefull breed than the one's by Franquin. They seem almost pleasant

I really like how you describe that... schoolboy-schoolgirl admiration stage! Although I'd say its rather one sided for Geanny, as Gaston seems more occupied with himself.... But maby that is typical for that fase/age as well...

And again well put; being a free spirit is too much of a character trait for both Asterix and Obelix to take it away.

Ah cool! Do you have a page online where I can check your work? because I'm really into that kinda stuff.

Good stuff. The 2nd panel is such a typical gag it had me wondering if franquin didn't actually do that joke before.

Also, the 'musician' looking closely like Jules-de-chez-Smith-ect-ect is a really nice touch

The Aztec Lizardmen. One of the more aesthetically pleasing fantasy races. Last thing I would have expected to find here :')

Although for me the rocket trough the roof takes it!

Find the French version of these strips and you might have your answer ^^'

Difficult to pinpoint exactly why it feels political. I think the little guy trying to get things done from the bigger creatures in a quote repetitive manner already kinda hints at it for me (the ostrich represents x, they other creature represents Y, and so on)

But especially near the end there's a lot of imagery that I feel could as well be used in the working class revolts for example.

I really adore this art style. The vibrant watercolours with those sketchy but clear defined lines are a dream.

Edit; between the media limited palette and how they're used, it's precisely on this line between concept and rendering where and illustration of discovering a non-existent continent should be. The artist might as well have been there, sketching what he saw .

 

I -was- going to find a community who might help me with my problem, but then I found this place and it's obviously much more constructive to bitch about it than to actually try to fix it. Shame on me for not seeing that right away.

So my HDD died on me, and after some fussing around I ordered a shiny new replacement. So after waiting for the mailman like a proper doggo, I installed my shiny new toy, booted my pc and... on of my monitors now doesn't work.

I don't know why. I tried a new hdmi-cable, I tried a new monitor. my 2nd monitor works perfectly. I updated my drivers and tried a handstand. nothing. For the rest my pc works fine. The new hard disk works like a charm. But why doesn't my monitor work? If I fix it, will my mouse stop working?

I will still chill and play games tonight, but I will be mildly furiously staring at the black screen next to it every chance i get.
