overview for harmsy

Let's ignore which end is front and which end is back. You've got a box. Two of the wheels swivel around, and the other two don't. Try pulling that box behind you, using only one hand, from the end with the fixed wheels. Thing goes all over the place, and you can't control it. Pull it from the end with the swivel wheels, and it just follows your hand.

Now push that box from the end with the swiveling wheels. You have to make huge movements to keep it going straight, and in order to make it go left, you gotta shove that sucker way over to the right. Pushing it from the end with the fixed wheels is much simpler. Push box left, box go left. Push box right, box go right. Much easier for meltybrain cave man to figure out.

LPT: Say "Complaint" to get through to customer service. (self.lifeprotips)

We've all been there. Something goes wrong, so you call customer service. What answers is a bizarre, arcane mess of an answering machine where you have to puzzle out exactly how company x categorizes customer issues when all you want is to talk to a human being. Saying "Complaint" cuts through all of that, but you might need to wait on hold for a bit. Just make sure you're nice to the person on the other end.

I've been on a bit of a blue/orange spree recently, and I really like how this one turned out.

Process: On a whim, I downloaded this image from another Artbreeder user:

In GIMP, I duplicated the image into four layers and used Gradient Map to have a version in black/orange, white/orange. black/blue, and white/blue, and selectively erased bits of each layer until I was satisfied, ending up with this:

Finally, I fed that back into Artbreeder, messed with my prompt, added noise after a few rolls didn't go the way I wanted, and ended up with this input:

Rendered for AB's Embroidery contest. Screenshot of inputs:

For the Bob Ross, I took a previous render, loaded it into GIMP, slapped a frame over it, and cut out the corners. Then I saved it and uploaded it back into Artbreeder. The wood was a stock image of some cutting boards that I found with Artbreeder's internal search feature. I cut out what I wanted and stretched it to fit the canvas as my background.
