the portrait is a picture of a real painting, it's "Presumed self-portrait by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), by an unknown artist". I don't know if it was on puprose, but in the original AI generated image neither one of the characters looks like their prototype. It's obvious with Mona Lisa herself, but the painter also didn't look like that.
Turned out worser than I expected, but ig that's what makes it what it is.
I'm not really sure why. but despite me hating the original AI slop. I for some reason absolutely love her. He seems like the type of extrovert who is fun to be around. So I decided to De-slop her. I'm Planning to do multiple versions, because I'm not really sure which parts I should keep. I really love the "Science is real" Patch and also the rainbow heart, and which parts might are right-wing dog whistles or not. I'm not really too in context but I do have to say that she kind of seems a little bit empty without all of the bright colors. I might have to add a lot more. Anyway the cat's name is Marcus, somebody else on r/antimeme decided a name for them. But what would be a great name for her?
this started as me seeing yet another AI image on Pinterest and thinking “okay wait, the character concept is kinda cute but I want to actually DRAW them”
so I redrew them from scratch, changed a bunch of the design choices, and then accidentally got attached enough to keep making art of them 😭
anyway meet Raye & Bunny. they escaped the slop factory and now they have lore
From a deslop request! It’s not exact but it was my first time drawing a duck so I didn’t feel like going all out lol
