Yours looks like something out of the Diablo video game franchise.
Your depiction of yesteryear bleeds honest effort and spirit. It is worth its weight in miracles compared to the eyes empty of true personality.
Yeah, they're ongoings. It's basically Marvel's new attempt at a side-universe. Like DC's Absolute line, or Marvel's own newer Ultimate line.
when does Marvel Midnight come out? The release dates for the Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four Midnight books
How to read Marvel Midnight: Complete reading order and checklist
And, yeah, this does seem like a weird thing to attempt to make into a ongoing thing. But...I guess Hickman got another idea for a new universe, so Marvel just went with it? I mean, I guess horror in general is getting a bit of a resurgence nowadays. So, maybe that's the reason? But, it does feel like something that would be a series of mini-series, at best.
I'm honestly not sure if I'm expecting these to last more than a year or so? I don't know if I have any confidence that Marvel won't just close up shop once Hickman gets bored and leaves again. Just like with the new Ultimate Universe. We'll see. Maybe this has better legs than I would expect, though?
Agreed. I will take the simplest of scribbles over AI slop any day. Heck, I'd even prefer lazy abstract art that is just a few dots/lines and somehow sells for a lot of money, as much as irritates me.
I will never criticize anyone's art. Partially because I respect the effort, mostly because while my own doesn't use Artificial Intelligence, it also doesn't use basic photographic competency, artistic merit, or good taste. I still have no idea why the background faded out in Panel 2. And I actually was TRYING on this one...
I love the process of making something with my own hands, whether for yourself or others. I like trying to come up with ideas, work on something, and see how it turns out. Sometimes I fail, or am unsatisfied, and that's ok. I can always learn for next time. This applies for art, cooking, crafts, etc.
There's a world of difference b/t that and throwing words at a program that blends words in with stolen art and pukes out a result. There is no love or suffering there.

Strangely, one of the best honors I ever got was back in the Prize Inside Shapeways days when I admitted to Trent Troop I was blatantly misusing his models, and he said he noticed, and asked to copy some of my dumb pictures for his product shots.
I still have this handle extender...
And you never know when you'll need nauseated lawn gnomes, so I will never get rid of these guys either.

As a former Nightcafe user, I'm somewhat agreeing?
I mean, other people on there definitely feel love towards the pieces they show.
As for me, I was mostly testing the ability to create photos-that-weren't (usually black-and white or vintage early colour), and then using the results to inspire a story. I probably could have told that story without the props, but it helped to put a face to certain characters.
.... and then Muse came along.
While Google Imagen or Nano Banana probably wouldn't pass professional photographic analysis but looks fine on a screen, Muse looks too damn good. And I can't help but think that every photo uploaded to Insta or The Book of Faces was probably tossed into the training pool to make that happen.
Granted one has to pay to use Muse on Nightcafe, but I'm currently taking a break from even the free stuff....
We finally finished the series this weekend. It was good. I really enjoyed it and liked seeing how the virus changed and how certain people reacted to it. Again, I liked how it was a low-stakes situation instead of a global outbreak. It had some great twists in it, and the ending was awesome. It really felt like a great mix of a Kpop show and a Zombie survival series. I won't spoil it any of it here, but I would highly recommend this to anyone to watch during the spooky season, especially if you like Kpop shows.
After that we watched some werewolf movies, 2011's Red Riding Hood and the 2010 Wolfman remake, as my oldest loves to be scared of werewolves. I suggested American Werewolf in Paris, but it has a bit too much sexual stuff in it for the kids.
