What is it with so many Superbat shippers treating Lois like an obstacle and/or downplaying or downright denying how important she is to Clark's story.

The reason I exhaust myself every time I make finalized art is also the reason why an ai would be useless to help: changing the size, shape or position of a single facial feature by so much as 10 pixels changes the whole feeling of a design to me. Changing the exact angle of an arm by a couple of degrees can put it either too close or too far from the torso for me to stand. I want the eyeballs the way I want the eyeballs.
And the way YOU prefer to do the eyeballs, the kind of hair you like to draw, how you portray fabric wrinkles, how long you draw fingers, how *densely* you portray fabric wrinkles, how sharply you draw curves, what directions your fabric wrinkles most commonly swoop in, your favorite kind of coat buttons or beetles or tree bark to draw, all these things together make it possible for someone to recognize your work as just yours if they care enough about it.
And this truly does apply to each and every human artist, every time. What? You trained for 39 years straight specifically to draw exactly like Akira Toriyama? You only do on-model fanart of a single show? You ghost-illustrated for Stan Lee himself and his own editors never noticed? Nope, sorry, line all your work up next to what you're imitating and yours will still exhibit different trends, different ways of shaping leg muscles, different sets of favorite poses and angles, different pupil to sclera ratios, anything. Big enough fans of that artist will notice right away...and maybe so will big enough fans of *you* someday!?
This is true at ALL skill levels, at all points in life. No two toddlers scribble every kind of object the same way. It's not possible. It's just the way it is. A unique style isn't actually something you need to develop, but something you can't ever perfectly avoid if you try, and that one of a kind fingerprint is hands down the coolest, most amazing and fun part of art, the whole reason you have fun showing it off at all, the whole reason you have any favorite illustrators.
If you ask an ai *or* any other human being to draw your idea, then no matter how detailed your description is, it's not your art. Your visual language won't be used. Nobody will ever say "oh, I know who drew that instantly!" and be able to name you based on recurring shapes and colors or that quirky way you happen to design belt buckles.
Letting anyone or anything else take that away from you is awful. You may as well be invisible. Your concepts alone might be awesome, yes, but there's a certain way they are meant to look to just your own mind out of everyone on earth.
Are you free from your curse yet i miss you

oH RIGHT This was before LotR pioneered cgi for massed crowd behavior
There was so much cool cgi in those movies I just assumed all the clones were too but back then I guess they still couldn’t really be
this is so sexy
I wonder what happened to all the agent smith masks
I can actually answer this! So the latex/rubber they used, while standard for Hollywood at the time, reacted REALLY BADLY to being doused in pouring water nonstop for an entire day of shooting. They ended up corroding, which caused them to stink really badly and glob together at the seams. The original plan was to hand out masks to various crew members on the final day of shooting as souvenirs, but the sopping wet, melting, rotting rubber got so gross that by the end of that shooting day they’d already thrown most of them out. Somewhere in a landfill are hundreds of disgusting, bloated, slimey Hugo weaving heads fused together into a nightmarish rotting amalgam :)
Without fail, every time a woman is talking about how she does not want to have children and never wants to be pregnant and how medical professionals, romantic interests and family members keep trying to bulldoze her decision and keep expecting her to change her mind because motherhood is something that is expected of all women and it is abhorrent to think a woman could not desire it, a random mother spawns in the comments to be like “Well, actually, you never know! I didn’t want children and then I got pregnant and I realized I love being a mama and I have five little babies now! Could happen to you! 🥰”
Sister, keep that to yourself or make your own goddamn post, you are ignoring that woman’s central concern and belittling her, you don’t even think you’re doing it. Formerly childfree women who ended up having children and loving it are like detransitioners in the sense that there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your mind about having children or realizing you were mistaken about your gender identity but immediately weaponizing your indecision to tell people that the barriers to healthcare and the violations of their bodily autonomy and the way society ignores that person’s wishes is actually okay because you were wrong. Some people do know themselves.
