Time for More Graphic Novels

 Hello. C J here. Okay, hear me out. I’ve gotten good at using AI art to make things. I need it for concept art or I will spend the next two to three years planning and drawing the Quantum Starter Set. The Quantum Starter Set will be out probably in a few months and on time because of AI art. I’m writing the code for these myself and I’m finally willing to start publishing them. Here’s the one for today’s image.

Notice no capitols, no punctuation. It’s me telling the algorithm at Perchance what assets I want it to piece together into an image. It’s keywords mostly for nouns or colours. In other words, computer speak. I don’t get why people hate art generation so much. I’m a trained painter and this is faster than making every image out of acrylic. I then draw the final versions myself by hand. Why is one better than the other? Both take planning and an eye for detail.

Moving on. Now. Forever. Perchance can do nice things, like today’s image. I’m done concept art entirely for the Starter Set and once the Starter Set is done, along with Uprising Core, I’ll have a ton of free time and energy. Time to take what I’ve built and tell stories. I’m wondering something. Can I use art generation software to tell a story? Like a really nice story? I have tons of ideas and I think I’ll stick to my stengths and do either a travel based fantasy epic or a nice character driven romance. I’m not good at doing both in the same product. They’ll be free PDFs when they’re done, probably in installments. I’ll explain the code I use more later, maybe as PDF.

The Tunnels Under Haven

 Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
