- Buy Joker Stencil and Lucky Cat
- Drag Joker Stencil over Lucky Cat
The answer for this setup is basically luck, but also some unlocks and strategy of course. The pillars holding this up are:
- Pekero, a Legendary Joker which can only be acquired at random after finding a 0.3% chance The Soul card while opening a Spectral or Tarot pack in the shop. There are several, but this one is required for the effect to make a negative copy of a consumable item you hold after exiting the shop.
- Ghost deck, required to obtain spectral cards in the shop. It is otherwise incredibly difficult to obtain spectrals as a consumable, and you need to have Pekero make negative copies of Cryptid specifically.
- Cryptid, a spectral card which creates two duplicates of a selected card in your hand. When in a blind, this means you are temporarily increasing the cards held in hand by two as well.
- Brainstorm, a rare joker only unlocked after discarding a Royal Flush. Brainstorm copies the ability of the leftmost joker slot, meaning if you have Pekero there before exiting the shop, you can create multiple negative copies of a consumable such as Cryptid. Blueprint is similar, but for the joker to the right of it instead.
- Baron, a rare joker which makes Kings give 1.5x xMult while held in hand. In this case, the ideal setup is a red seal steel king, so the xMult effect triggers several times, alongside Baron being duplicated by Brainstorm.
- Joker duplication, as you normally only get access to one at any given time. This can be achieved through the destructive spectral cards at an opportunistic time (like Ankh when you only have one joker), or getting lucky with Invisible joker, a rare joker unlocked by winning a run with only ever having four jokers at one time. After two completed blinds you can sell it for a random duplicate. You can also hold onto Showman, an uncommon joker which allows duplicates to show up in the shop. Ideally you'd duplicate both blueprint and Brainstorm, but I assume this run didn't get the chance. You'd also normally have Mime, to further retrigger held in hand effects.
After all that, you'd just keep beating blinds, accumulating Cryptids, and whenever you're ready, duplicate an unholy amount of red seal steel kings and have like 100 kings in a ridiculous hand. Play high card, and let the fun start!
Or if we're talking about prompting like in the post, it's far more like ordering at a restaurant and then eating what's put in front of you. If I place an order, even if I get them to make a custom request, I wouldn't take what I receive and say I cooked it. I just ordered food and something got put on my plate.
If this were re-framed as a commission, where you gave detailed instructions to an actual person to create something, you receiving those results wouldn't make you the artist in that situation. These are both human involved scenarios, but removing the human doesn't really change that asking for something is not the same as creating something.
Using it for porn sounds funny to me given the whole concept of "rule 34" being pretty ubiquitous. If it exists, there's porn of it! Like even from a completely pragmatic prespective, it sounds like generating pictures of cats. Surely there is a never ending ocean of cat pictures which you can search and refine, do you really need to bring a hallucination machine into the mix? Maybe your friend has an extremely specific fetish list that nothing else will scratch? That's all I can think of.
Sorry! I wore them earlier when I was drawing, if that counts for anything.
I use Krita for everything, I love it so much. I also won't act like it's perfect either, despite it being my most used software by a landslide. Personally my biggest desire now is improved workflow for text editing (e.g. editing text directly on the canvas, being able to box and justify text, vector pathing for text so you can make it bend or wave). From what I understand it is something that is being worked on, and I will be even more indebted to the wonderful folks at KDE once further progress is made on that front.
Never thought I'd be envious of a green text, but that sounds like the best night ever.
I am BEGGING you show me your plushie friends and talk about them! Anyone, please!
Get real, also great artist hunting!
When you generate problems instead of cobblestone.
What's funny to me is I can see this reply image, but not the actual post. What did you link to?
Related, there is a donation group for Mastodon for Harris. I imagine a great way to show there is interest in her making an account is to see fundraising coming from the user base. It's at ~114k at the time I wrote this: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
Engagement is one of those things which is a bit odd to try and capitalize on. It's less about the content itself and more about the where and when a lot of the time. You'd be surprised just how much the exact same post would change in reach just by shifting your post time by a few hours. I never found /r/furry to be a good place to post artwork when I used Reddit. Slapping a tagline and putting it onto furry_irl was significantly more effective with user interaction and turnarond. Though regardless, virtually none of those people ever interacted with my furaffinity.
At the end of the day though, being popular has little to do with hard work and improvement as an artist. It's much more about endlessly shoveling out content of any quality and constant self promotion. If you're not the kind of person who wants to turn marketing into a hobby, you and I are in the same boat. Just making things we want because we can, and sharing stuff without expecting any real engagement. I might not be popular, but at least I feel free to do as I please.
