Somoguy [ChilledCow channel] launched a call for projects, which was won by a student from the Émile Cohl School, Juan Pablo Machado: “He wanted to reproduce the same studious action and style as Studio Ghibli,” he explained in an interview with ARTE (photo). “I took the images he had referenced in his call for projects and started drawing.” Rather than imagining a series of characters on paper, as he usually did, he began his creation directly on a graphics tablet and computer to save time: “I worked mostly at night, because I was at school during the day. I took all the elements I had around me at the time: the books you see on the desk, the lamp…”
He also imagined different backgrounds depending on the time of day: "In the very first image, I had a black background with rain. For the daytime version, I decided to set the character in the city where I studied, Lyon. I loved this city. I took a lot of images of the Croix-Rousse district from Google and designed my background from photo collages of buildings.
They copied Ghibli before it was cool B)
Well that’s the end of them, if social media has taught me anything it’s that copying anybody else’s style is completely taboo and anyone who does it is evil and deserves nothing but ridicule.
e: social media sure doesn’t like looking in the mirror
then you got the wrong message about what Miyazaki tried to tell the AI Bros.
I wasn’t talking about Miyazaki, I was talking about the social media uproar from the anti-AI crowd that quoted him out of context and used that to imply that he supported their position.
Here’s the video that contains the actual quote and context:
His comment wasn’t about generative AI “stealing” his art style, he said that wouldn’t use it in his works because it had no soul and didn’t know what it was to be human and, for his art, that is important.
Cry harder, fkn AI bro.
You forgot lemmy is a social medium too - the same crowd here, I’m afraid.
I like to say Lemmy is an asocial medium, since the accounts are anonymous, so we have no idea who we’re talking to.
…
Wait. Shit. It’s you.
That’s why I chose my name, so people know who they’re talking to.
Hello, little brother.
Social Media - The Easily Influencables and The Bots That Control Them.
It’s just a weird thing to comment about since its been known and used as a mascot since like 2017
“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”
I don’t have anything of substance to say
Look at how clever we are
You’re right, you clearly don’t have anything of substance to say.
Just learn to draw loser
It’s important to learn from the best.
Didn’t they actually doxx the artist that way? I think he just used the view from his own window as background.
Well that was pretty foolish, you should always use the view from your cheating ex’s window.
But there are like three guys blocking the view from there.
Next channel: Lofi beats to move apartments to.
Ok but they’re actually doing this irl now. Like it’s not a meme when people actually do it.
Especially since the shia labeouf flag incident, no location posted online is safe
Back to LoFi girl, you can also see her appartment or reverse view from the Synthwave Radio stream and vice versa at night. Its pretty cool :)

There’s a wonderful android app called Imagepipe. Does a few things, but stripping exif data is one of them. Workflow is also great!
I realise that won’t help against people simply recognising your cat, but it’s useful for protection against bots and stuff.
It would amaze you at what some of these geo trackers can do. I’ve seen someone post a generic highway corner in bumfuck nowhere and the person found them in only an hour.
I FOUND YOU
Just kidding

Looks like the artist is actually closer to those three points.
That’s just a matter of focal length or cropping
You’re just a matter of focal length or cropping.
Your mom’s just a matter of focal length or cropping.
Did you hear that Steve Jobs died of just a matter of focal length or cropping?
I’ve heard that Jeffrey Epstein died of just a matter of focal length or cropping.
Ohhhhh burn
Or fecal length and crapping.
That escalated gradually but thoroughly.
Hah! I knew it would be somewhere in France!
Unless they’re Lyon.
Oh, fuck off.
Upvoted.
This is Lyon right? It very much looks like it.
I mean it does say Lyon right in the imagine, so I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say: yes.
Not going to lie. I think at this point we might as well die. We have no privacy anymore soon the oligarchs will have us working ourselves to death and fighting back only means we are going to get droned.
Why in the fuck would anyone doxx Lo-Fi girl??
6th floor, but which floor numbering system?
The French: centered on Paris
