(Image ID: A Comparison Of Two Drawings Of Sea Glass, My Cuttlefish Fursona. They Are Both Anthro Cuttlefish

(Image ID: A comparison of two drawings of Sea Glass, my cuttlefish fursona. They are both anthro cuttlefish with paws and fur. The right is the older one, which is a bit more complex and cluttered. The left is the newer one, with fewer colors and a more stubborn look. They have bushy eyebrows and their hands are on their hips. End ID)

This sona is not allowed to look innocent anymore, give them the eyebrows of a main character in an adult animated comedy

(Image ID: One Image And One Drawing. The Left Is A Photo Of The Official Banban Mascot Suit From Japan.

(Image ID: One image and one drawing. The left is a photo of the official Banban mascot suit from Japan. The right is a drawing of Birthday Banban from a GOBB rewrite. They both have one foot in front of the other and hold up their left arm. End ID)

First off: I think whoever made the mascot suit for Banban is completely right for adding fur. Second: I think it's kind of funny how I took a lot of mascot suit and fursuit inspiration when making Birthday, and, now that there's a suit for Banban, they have a lot of the same traits. You have the more bottom-heavy design, the fur, the bigger legs, and the mane of fabric hiding the separation of the head and the body. I like to think it means I did something right in the realism and huggability factors :3

(Image ID: One Traditional Image And One Digital Photo Of Multiple Sketches Of The Cartoon Butterfly,

(Image ID: One traditional image and one digital photo of multiple sketches of the cartoon butterfly, Comet. In the first image he has an expression sheet. It shows him smiling, frowning, yelling, and looking guilty. They are based off of various 1960s-1970s animation, notably the Flintstones and Peanuts. The second image is a fullbody of Comet and two other sketches. In the bottom left, he flicks a pencil while he contemplates writing something down. In the bottom right is a drawing of Kinitopet in a similar art style. He smiles and says, "puter". End ID)

You'll probably gonna be seeing a lot more of this guy cause I have a project with him in it!

(Image ID: A Redesign Of Twisted Astro From Dandy's World. The Drawing In The Top Right Is Of Non-twisted

(Image ID: A redesign of Twisted Astro from Dandy's World. The drawing in the top right is of non-twisted Astro, who has also gotten a slight redesign. His cap and gown have now merged into one hooded cape, with a gradient of purple to blue. He wears slippers. The twisted version is much lankier, resembling a leafless tree. The light side of Astro's face has turned a bright red and can barely be seen over the large amount of shadow now overtaking it. His eyes, which are the only seeable part of his face, are wide and bloodshot. Instead of a pom-pom at the end of his night cap, it is a hook. The two drawings to the left of that are showing his alternate facial expression and form, where a wide smile spreads across his face and his skeletal, four-armed body can be seen coming out from under the cape. End ID)

I might remake a few twisteds since I'm playing this game a lot with a friend! I think they should incorporate the moon theming of Astro more into his twisted design.

Comparison under the cut!

(Image ID: In-game Twisted Astro and redesigned Twisted Astro side-by-side. In-game Astro is tall, with four arms visible at all times. He has one red eye and a very long night cap that trails behind him. His skin is splotched with black ichor. End ID)

Fun fact: I based his redesign off of my first encounter with him, where all I could hear was his sound effects around the walls!

It has been made. Well technically it has been remade as this was a previous blog but whatever

(Image ID: A Sketch Of Astro From Dandy's World Looking Off To The Side. There Are White Stars On Either

(Image ID: A sketch of Astro from Dandy's World looking off to the side. There are white stars on either side of him and behind him is a faint purple to blue gradient. End ID)

Hello and welcome!

💫💙 Call me Astro or Aster here! 💫💙

This is my blog for this kintype specifically. Register me as the little magical moon toon. Stay a while if you'd like.

Some rules here:

1) you are free to ask questions to me! Please be polite and respectful and keep in mind I'm a minor.

2) I'm not responding to donation asks on this blog. I'm sorry! You can give donation asks on my general blog, @rununcal. But be aware, I'm slow with posting them

3) "Doubles" or however you call them are fine to interact with me! Hi me! This goes for other characters in the same franchise as well.

4) I'm not exactly an in-game copy, as you can probably tell by the way I draw myself. Don't expect me to know everything about that version or have all memories relating to it. I'm new to this kintype anyways!

5) I have a constant brain fog and other such problems. I might need you to elaborate or you might need me to elaborate. If you need me to, just ask me!

Thank you for reading 🌟

well i wasnt expecting to see a scientific essay on vocaloids and AI, but this is surely welcome!

A long infographic with visual aids starting with the conversation:
"Is Miku AI?"
"No."
"Are vocal synths ethical?"
"Yes."
"How so?"
First section is Compensation.
Hatsune Miku is made out of recordings by Saki Fujita. Saki Fujita is contracted to record Miku samples, and is paid for her work.
Section: Recording Method. 
This is why Miku is not AI: Saki Fujita records from a list of sounds. It's necessary to have at least one recording per sound Miku should be able to sing. (Visual aid has examples of these sounds, such as "kaka".)
She can also sing the recording list a second time in a different octave, so that she sounds more natural. 
Section: Labelling. 
The samples Saki Fujita sung are then labelled with what sound they make. These sounds are then reproduced by the engine. This is how Vocal Synth software such as VOCALOID and UTAU work. This model is called "concatenative". (Visual aid shows how "kaka" is split into "k" and "a", which is how it looks in the VOCALOID software.)
Section: User interfacing.
These voicebanks are very flat. Users must adjust the vocals themselves in order to produce singing. This is referred to as "tuning". If you listen to "Tuning BLANK in the style of Vocaloid producers", you can see there are countless ways to tune Hatsune Miku. It is considered a form of artistic expression. 
Compare Scratchin' Melodii's original songs to the updated versions. This is the result of hiring an experienced Vocaloid tuner.
Question: How do AI Vocal Synths work?
Answer: They are actually extremely similar!
Section: Compensation.
Let's use the Synthesizer V Studio library "Solaria". Solaria is made out of recordings by Emma Rowley. Emma Rowley is contracted to record Solaria samples, and paid for her work.
Section: Recording.
Emma Rowley then records several hours of singing data. This is the substance of the library.
Section: Base model.
The AI needs a base to understand what it's interpreting. Unlike images, there is a large amount of volunteer voice data out there. It's typically assumed that base models are trained ethically. (Visual aid shows Dreamtonics, the developer company behind Synthesizer V, asking a university "Can I use this voice data you made for TTS research?" and observing a person saying "Hi! Here is a few hours of singing data you can use for voice technology.")
Section: Labelling.
Labelling is also the same. The singing is broken up into phonemes the engine will interpret. 
Header Section: Deep Learning.
In casual speech, "AI" refers to computer learning/sorting algorithms. "Diffusion" AI is the result of DNN; Deep Neural Network. It is the most drastic difference between concatenative and AI voicebanks.
Section: Teaching the base model.
The computer must be taught what the sounds are. The concept it builds is the "base model". (Visual guide is a cartoon of two computers talking. "Here's a british man saying 'bath'." "Added to my concept of 'a'." "Here's a Japanese girl saying 'baka'." "Added to my concept of 'a'.")
Section: Training the voice model.
Emma Rowley's recordings are then made into a reference point. This will make it so it will only render based on what it knows about Emma Rowley's singing. (Visual aid is a similar cartoon where a person talks to a computer while giving it a drive. Computer: "Now that I know what 'a' is, how should it sound?" Person: "I've labelled every time Emma Rowley says 'a'. Use this!")
Section: Diffusion.
The Solaria model uses everything it learned from Emma Rowley's recordings and the base mdoel to determine how 'a' sounds based on what note it's sung on, what's next to it, etcetera.
Section: Interfacing.
Tuners have been mixed on this; it sounds much clearer, yet the AI also has voice pitch models, so there's not as much as an incentive to develop your own personal flair.
Question: Are voice changers ethical?
Answer: Oh geez.
Section: ARE they ethical?
We don't need to break this down a third time. Voice changers are the generative AI of voice synthesis. It requires a lot less work of both the developer and the user, a simple applicator of everything the machine knows onto a piece of audio. What are the ranges of ethics?
Vocaloid 6 is packaged with a voice changer. It is only for AI libraries, voiced by people who agreed to this and were compensated. This is definitely ethical.
If you bought Hatsune Miku, you're nominally permitted to use the results as you see fit. Is tuning Miku and then creating a voice changer of her singing ethical? I genuinely don't know.
There's also a question of art. If you were to project the voice actor onto your own personal tuning work, isn't that still artistic expression? A voice is different from an art style. Where is human expression being interrupted by automation? I can't make an explainer for those subjective concepts.
I hope you're now educated enough to think on it yourself. End of image transcription.

A lot of people try to explain this without knowing anything about how voice synthesis works, so here's my breakdown on No, Hatsune Miku Is Not AI, And No, AI Voice Synthesis Is Not Bad.

A picture taken of a 8-pages zine sized comic, a woman in pink in a blue background with the international symbol of Breast Cancer, the pink ribbon around her face/neck. She's wearing a shirt, her breasts are asymmetrical. The title reads "Ribbon & (and) Scars." The & symbol blurs her face. The caption below reads "a Homestuck fanfic for National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day." A curious eyes emoji is edited in, to highlight the "teaser" nature of this picture.

My gosh... this is the *first* time making a comic... had more than *three* pages!! I'm so excited to share it with you!

As for now, I'll go eep!

A four panel parody comic where Dave notify his brother Dirk of Jake's presence by saying "dilf detected'. Second panel, Dirk asks Jake his pronouns, to which he answers "he/they". Third panel Dirk tells Dave "chat I'm going to try to rizz them up". Final panel, Dirk confesses "Your ass is so fat it makes me want to kill my self (sic)". To which Jake looks disappointed.

Chat is this anything?

Parody of @ronaldreagancutupwhilefrotting post , which itself is an edit of a comic from drawerofdrawings. (DeviantArt link)

TOLD ya I'll draw it! Hahaha, I just had to get my dirty hands on my oooooooold tablet. (Drawing with fingers is hard)

oh my gawd, i can't belive the fist thing i do when i boot my dormant tablet for 1 year is a dirkjake homestuck shitpost good lord help me, i couldn't stop myself from laughin when making this

a digital, colored drawing of Youssef holding the Palestinian flag. Youssef is smiling and lit by the sun. Behind him is a blue sky with clouds. The drawing is surrounded by a simple lined rectangular border, and the flag and well as Youssef's elbow cut outside of the bottom of it slightly. Outside of the border is a background of solid, sandy yellow. At the bottom is a dark red and green message highlighted in light blue: "HELP YOUSSEF AND HIS FAMILY."

"I am Youssef, an 18-year-old young man, and my dreams and hopes vanished in an instant. My family’s house in Khan Yunis was destroyed, and I found myself and my family living in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, under the scorching sun, inside a tent swaying in the wind. I wake up every morning to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, but they no longer mean anything to me—they only remind me of the freedom we lost and the life we once had..."

Hello everyone! As of writing this, Youssef is at $3,877 out of his EXTREMELY ACHIEVABLE $15,000 goal. He has only gotten eight don@tions in the past day. Youssef is asking for $15,000 to support himself and his family, mainly for medicine, shelter, and food, which are hellishly scarce as a manifestation of Israel's genocide. He is only 18 and he is responsible for his family's SURVIVAL. Please take the time to read Youssef's own words on his GFM page, as well as on his tumblr account, @yousefjehad3 . Read them, stare at them, process them. Let them truly sink in. Then, go to his fundr@iser and DON@TE. Every single coin you can spare counts, because everyone's small contributions will snowball into a massive one. None of these fundr@isers reached their goal because of one loaded don0r. It was always a group effort.

And, whether or not you're able to d0nate - SHARE, with your family, your friends, your groupchats, your tumblr followers, so that someone who can will have the chance to see it! If you are on Tumblr, you are able to reblog.

Don't ever think your contributions are useless. They provide material help and are expressions of care during impossibly dire times. Palestinians quantifiably cannot afford your apathy.

Youssef's GFM is vetted. He is shown on line 255 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundr@iser List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

Donate to Help Youssef Provide Medicine and Shelter, organized by Vann Dukas

I am Youssef, an 18-year-old young man, and my dreams and hopes vanished in an in… Vann Dukas needs your support for Help Youssef Provide Me

(btw, I've heard that it's not a good idea to tag posts like this with terms such as correctly-spelled 'don@tions,' which is why I'm spelling things as such. I encourage you to refrain from tagging your reblogs with these terms just in case..)

[ID: A Semi-realistic Digital Painting Of A Close-up On Mob From Mob Psycho 100, With A Large Bouquet

[ID: A semi-realistic digital painting of a close-up on Mob from Mob Psycho 100, with a large bouquet covering the lower half of his face. Mob is rendered with warm colors and the background is a desaturated blue tone. The image is followed by the same digital painting, altered so Mob appears to be in his Unknown Percentage form - his color scheme is now in shades of grey, his eyes are glowing, and his hair is slightly raised, as if exposed to static electricity. The background is red, and the image has an animated glitch filter applied on top. End ID.]

An end.

💐💐💐

This one took me a while, but I was actually in time for the episode this time around. Yay! Never drawing flowers ever again.
