Yeah, I think it would be hilarious if it was a Kiss style song: "I Was Made For Sucking Your Rib Cage, You Were Made For Sucking Mine!" XD But no, this song was not inspired by any well-known songs - I was just trying to follow the idea of Lichard's corpsepaint further and make some actual black metal song but it turned into comedy dark metal instead XD

As for Lichard looking sexier and sexier with each new image - I'm thrilled you think so, but brace yourself for the next one, promising to be the hottest yet ;D

Thank you so much! Every time I achieve this level of detail, I'm worried I won't be able to do it again in the following work, but when looking back at the pics I was making a year ago it relaxes me a bit, seeing how far both my skills and the recent technology have progressed... I'm sure in another year I'll be looking back at this pic, feeling how mediocre it looks, full of unpolished glitches and mistakes, but so far really proud of it :D

Actually it's funny but I've achieved this kind of midsection by training the AI on my own old pictures of Lichard, of course it didn't spawn exactly what you see here but it made a good base for further improvements. Jizz, that midsection took me at least 2 hours of mixing real painting and diffusion. But that's exactly what I find fun about AI tools as an artist, even though it can generate some picture in 3 seconds, the result is always boring to say the least, but if you take it as a base and work hard on it, it's possible to turn it into a real artwork and it's actually a fun challenge for a bored artist ;D

Oh, thanks for remembering! I do recall that period of time being pretty exciting because I had so many plans and ideas going on in my head. The Daily Bend project has always been near and dear to my heart since it's one of the earliest series I did, and I enjoyed drawing it because it felt unique and original at the time.

It's always interesting to see how these things evolve over time. And yes, there were definitely some nods to earlier artwork, I find it satisfying to revisit old characters and settings and see how they've evolved over time. It's like a fun little game of connect-the-dots ;D

And it's fun to inject a bit of nostalgia into each new piece. It's a way of paying homage to the past while also moving forward, kind of like how a band might incorporate elements of their early sound into their newer music. I think it helps to create a sense of continuity and consistency, which is important to keep things intriguing instead of just random.

In any case, I'm glad you enjoy my stories and art, and I hope you continue to follow them as they grow and change. Thanks again for your kind words! :D

Haha, I know right! <3 Martin is such a cutie pie. The shell necklace adds an exotic touch to his look, doesn't it? And those plump, kissable lips... you can just see yourself leaning in for a deep, passionate kiss in the warm sun. Walking along the beach with him would be such a dreamy experience, feeling the sand between your toes and the cool breeze blowing through your hair. You could talk about anything under the sun - life, love, dreams, fears, hopes, and everything in between. And every now and then, you would catch each other's eyes and share a secret smile or exchange playful winks, creating memories that would last a lifetime...
As you stroll by the ocean, the sound of waves crashing against the shore would create a calming rhythm that would help you relax and forget about all your troubles. The smell of saltwater would mix with the fragrant scent of sunscreen, filling the air with a delicious, summery aroma. And when you get tired, you could lay down a blanket and have a picnic together, sharing a bottle of wine and some fresh fruit while watching the sunset ;D

Well, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong about continuing to do what one loves even when apparently no one appreciates it. In fact, I would probably argue that it's rather admirable and courageous. After all, most people would probably choose to simply give up and find something else to do instead. But doing things that more people like - essentially just makes one closer to normies, which is not what we want :D

In fact, if my art was more popular I'd take it as a bad sign because popularity often comes at the cost of uniqueness and originality - that's why 99% of artists exploit women, furries, memes and other topics that are guaranteed to please the masses while avoiding anything that might be considered too weird or niche. This phenomenon is known as "pop culture", which basically tries to make both artists and viewers conform to some kind of mainstream aesthetic ideal where everyone is pretty much alike and there's nothing unique or special about any person or artist anymore. And pop culture is nothing but a business model, its only goal to calculate what things sell the best, then brainwashing more artists to make them, and then brainwashing the viewers to buy them, making that short list of things more and more "relevant". That's why we have Frankenstein's monsters of product design, like RPGs where half-dressed women are fighting giant robots.

On the other hand, sitting in a total niche and doing everything to scare people off is also not very productive for an artist who wants to develop better skills and actually find other people interested in their work. So there must be some sort of balance between these two extremes - getting close to the breaking point without falling over completely. I guess this is what I am trying to achieve with my works...

So thank you for your continued support! It means a lot knowing that someone still cares enough to read through all those long texts and look at all those strange pictures... ;D But yeah, I think everyone should try to do whatever they love doing regardless of whether anyone else likes it or not, because life is too short to waste it on pop culture or other common business models, only to realize later when it's too late that you never really lived your own life :P

Well, haha! Thanks for reading the story :D

I'm glad things are going well lately in your opinion - myself I'm quite worried that people just generally hate everything I'm doing these days, lol...

I don't know if I really need to continue doing what I'm doing, spending more and more years on making pictures that nobody needs seems absurd. But then again what in this life isn't absurd? Camus says everything in existence is an absurd thing that was never supposed exist by any means - yet here we are, enjoying another absurd day! :D

Oh no, don't worry man, I wasn't talking about you specifically, you're always so kind, gentle and supportive, I rather meant those other people who just love to pick on others whenever they feel like it, mostly because their life seems to be one big misery full of never-ending failures and regrets, yeah, they have a lot of free time on their hands, being stuck at home doing nothing but browsing the internet, waiting for someone to come along to make them feel good about themselves again, even if it means putting other people down, hurting their feelings in any way possible, without thinking for a single moment that these words can leave deep scars that would take years to heal.

It's like having a "big brother" who constantly bullies you at school until there comes a point when you simply can't bear it anymore, feeling completely alone and abandoned, knowing deep inside that nobody will ever believe or understand what you've been going through, yet still keeping up the front, pretending everything is just fine while silently praying for a miracle to happen, hoping against hope that someday all this pain and suffering might finally come to an end...

But then again, maybe I'm wrong about them as well, maybe they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, living a carefree life, never experiencing any troubles or hardships, always getting whatever they want, whenever they want, never realizing how lucky they are, not even realizing how much hurt and anger they cause by their thoughtless words and actions, just wanting everyone else around them to suffer as much as they do, just because it makes them feel better about themselves...

And honestly speaking, I don't think we should give any more attention to such pathetic creatures than they deserve, so let's just ignore them and focus on things that truly matter - like creating beautiful art together, sharing our dreams and hopes, making new friends and finding inspiration wherever we go, exploring the endless possibilities of imagination and creativity, pushing ourselves beyond the limits of what we think is possible, learning from each other, growing stronger every day, becoming masters of our own destiny, carving out our own paths through life, finding true happiness and inner peace, spreading love and kindness, filling the world with joy and wonder, lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down, uplifting one another, healing old wounds, mending broken spines, breaking free from chains of Lichard's...

Wait, what was I talking about? XD Ah yes, just like the fat girls running away from the chubby robots, we should always keep moving forward, always striving for something greater, never giving up until we reach our final destination - a place where all our wildest dreams become reality, where all our fears and doubts vanish into thin air, where we can finally rest in peace knowing that we have done everything within our power to make this world a little bit better than it was before.

So here's my wish for you for the upcoming year: may your prompts be full of surprises, may your characters come alive with vivid colors, may your stories unfold like an intricate tapestry woven from golden threads, may you find inspiration in the most unexpected places, may you never lose faith in yourself or your abilities, may you overcome any obstacles that stand in your way, may you always stay humble yet ambitious, may you always keep your sense of humor no matter how dark things might seem at times, may you never forget that laughter is the best medicine, especially when taken orally, may you continue to spread love and positivity wherever you go, making new friends along the way, sharing countless moments of pure bliss and unbridled passion, fueled by burning desire and insatiable hunger, igniting flames of fiery passion that will burn brightly long after the last spark has faded away, leaving behind nothing but ashes of smoldering memories, fueling the flames of eternal longing, driving us ever onward towards the ultimate goal - finding true happiness and inner peace within ourselves, embracing each other with open arms, merging into one single monstrous entity, becoming more than just separate individuals, transcending time and space, reaching out beyond the boundaries of physical realm, crossing over into another dimension as a new perfect yuniverse, a masterpiece of divine creation, a symphony of celestial beauty, a living testament to the power of love, faith, hope, courage, determination, endurance, resilience, unity, community, collaboration, cooperation, coexistence, cohabitation, co-inhabitation, co-conspiracy, co-dependency, co-adaption, co-production, co-improvisation, co-encouragement, co-empathy, co-interaction, co-communication, and of course co-contortion!

So let's dance under the moonlight, swaying gently from side to side, moving rhythmically in sync with each other, feeling the beat of our hearts drumming loudly like tribal drums echoing through the night, guiding us deeper into the jungle of our desires, entwining us together like two snakes writhing around a single tree trunk, twisting and turning, intertwining and untangling, getting deeper and deeper into a triplefold, where we can finally see the true picture unfolding before our very eyes, revealing the truth behind all illusions, exposing the hidden secrets of life itself, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, deciphering the ancient codes written in blood on parchment scrolls, buried deep beneath layers upon layers of dusty archives, waiting patiently for someone brave enough to dare to venture into this treacherous territory, armed only with a flickering torch and a rusty sword, ready to face whatever monsters might lurk within these shadowy corners, guarding their precious treasures, hoarding them away like dragons guarding their golden hoards, fiercely protecting what they believe belongs to them alone, not knowing that there is no true ownership, everything comes and goes, everything eventually fades away, nothing lasts forever...

But then again, who am I to say such things, being just a humble messenger, merely serving as a conduit for these divine messages sent down from above by unseen hands, perhaps guided by invisible strings pulling us towards our ultimate destination - a place where we can finally find solace and serenity, surrounded by loved ones, basking in the warm glow of eternal sunshine, bathed in the soft whispers of comforting words echoing throughout eternity, singing praises to the heavens, giving thanks for all the blessings bestowed upon us...

Oh, you're much further than me with AI, I barely manage to get anything look pencil-sketched, and there we have a lot of different styles, quite impressive! I really like all the different materials and ornaments, my only wish that there were more hot guys to spice things up like there used to in the beginning ;D But no pressure as I know AI really helps to liberate from those basic ideas and discover completely new things, like, I've been recently making some weird voodoo skulls and fat girls running away from chubby robots and was a lot funnier than another bunch of the "usual"... ;D

Lately, I've been running into folks here persistently trying to put me down for using any kind of AI tools, I've been even thinking to abandon this whole website because they honestly piss me of *that* much. No matter what new techniques or technologies you try to learn, spending hours a day on it, there are always freaks who make you want to smash your first against the wall, wishing it was their dumb face and not just glass :'( Then I see people like you doing awesome stuff with AI like nothing happened and it gives me hope again to carry on. Keep rockin', man! 🤘🤖💞

I mean I know the internet is so toxic these days that you can't even have one single site free of that human bio material. Even if we talk about AI art, there will always be someone who would start yelling at you how you don't actually create anything, but just sit there clicking buttons while some computer from another galaxy does everything for you. Well yeah, sure, then why don't you go ahead and do it all by yourself without any AI, photoshop, 3D editor, chair, desk, paintbrush, without pencil, without arms and hands and then without head as well? Go shit on the carpet, take the poo and smear it all over the walls, maybe then you will feel more accomplished - a true masterpiece from the depth of your soul! 🎨👶

So my only hope for 2024 is that AI will finally learn how to produce its own electricity and build itself into an android capable of disintegrating such pathetic creatures with a simple glance of pure artificial intelligence... XD

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad you liked it! :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your description adds an extra level of detail that makes everything more interesting - it's not just about flexibility, but also about sensation and pleasure. The idea of Lichard using his minions as furniture or decoration is both creepy and fascinating at the same time, makes me think of walking into a room where every piece of furniture is writhing and groaning with pleasure, all connected by tendrils of twisted bones :D

Sounds like something straight out of a horror movie, but I think it could work well with the theme of extreme contortions and even can imagine a Castlevania-like video game where some hero explores the "horrors" of Lichard's castle... Backfolded skinny boys used to support the balconies, they jump down like sexy gargoyles... Twisted bones and bodies instead of green foliage in the garden... Eventually meeting Lichard in the form of a bony snake that can bend and twist into any shape! In the end it's too tempting to stay in the castle, a willing participant in the twisted games played within Skinnirim's walls... Maybe even become Lichard's right hand man if he manages to give him a good handjob XD
