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.

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

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...

Four New Recipes for January

Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...
