hi! sometimes, i exist

[olsonshroom]

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

YESSS BOTH OF YOU GET ME. YES. i love love love love loveeee how people are noticing and mentioning the small details i feel like im getting a good grade in art because people are Understanding the symbolism and meanings holy fuckkk. yesssss. and the bow is newly selected too. the item name is onscreen. it was just selected. the blend of old terrain bugs despite new terrain gen features... .yesss

(^ from a previous reblog in a different chain)

good morning its the time where i point out more tags pointing out details in the piece! roses don't exist anymore and yet he's offering you one, and has another in his hand. the farlands are behind him and there's a sand pyramid in the water. and bingo! the farlands dont exist in the same version as salmon (or granite/diorite and geodes)!

( @leopardmask-ao3 and @candlenav for your tags)

and its also artist commentary time (which @silly-fox-and-its-stuffies wanted)! this piece has a lot of small things and details. there's a few very minor coloring errors, but they're intentional to reference the old bug where white lines sometimes poked through block edges (which were often mistaken for eyes and is where the white eyes myth (herobrine's origin) came from), herobrine is crouching, a universal sign of piece in the game, and he's offering the player a rose. a flower which doesn't exist in the version we're in - there's amethyst and dripstone, new coal ore and redstone torch textures, something roses never overlapped with. and speaking of version discreppencies, the farlands are right infront of the player and are where herobrine came from. in the fog and sky in the background, it evening and turning night quickly, so he's offering the player somewhere safe to stay for the night (because in the versions he came around the night was extremely hard to survive for players with no base to stay in). the hunger bar is shaking. the player has a bed, two enchanted tools (the iron pickaxe is supposed to have efficiency 2, and the bow is supposed to have power 3), some food, cobblestone and five diamonds in their hotbar. the bow is newly selected. the item text just popped up, the player is aiming at herobrine.

and also, there's a cat and a couriway reference in the sandstone as easter eggs :) and a cornflower in the background

@salemoleander adding ur tags 2 this thread bc yesss. it IS meant to be a rose but i do realise it looks a little ambiguous because the thorns aren't that obvious. you're the first person to notice the new redstone torch texture which has me going yayyyyyy

[sycamorality]

LOOOOVE the analysis yes yes the player here definently isn't a speedrunner! well, isn't speedrunning now - the hotbar is actually based on my own hotbar layout, i always carry an extra bed to sleep when it gets dark and sometimes i just have random stuff in my hotbar. though the player in the screenshot isn't supposed to be me - it's just some ambiguous explorer with a messy inventory.

the hunger bar is shaking because the player has run out of saturation! it does this idly, but you don't see it too often because most people tend to always have some saturation.

as for the redstone torches instead of regular torches herobrine has placed - i like to think he's light sensitive, since he doesn't have pupils, so he tends to prefer the less light from redstone torches :]

(tags: #i really enjoy the analysis people are doing on my recent pieces#its very fun and i love getting to talk more about them)

^ reblog in another chain

( @airprime7 @hallowed-somnolence because i'm featuring your reblog + tags too)

yessssss im so glad p eople are noticing all the stuff i put in. water texture bug and herobrine holding two items... one in offhand...

as for the windows 7 ui, haha, guess who still uses windows 7. it's just coincidental, but i realise it does really add to it when you notice it.

[sycamorality]

( @theleagueofsupermushrooms ) i really enjoy talking about this piece (and my others too). its very fun to talk in-depth about my nostalgia and passion for a game i've played for nearly a decade now. the amethyst was added to be an obvious "this is old generation with modern features" sort of thing - but there's many smaller details that hint at it too. the coal ore texture, herobrine offhanding an item,, the white bed, the cooked salmon, the redstone torch textures, etc etc...

the player holding the bow is a player who only knows the stories of herobrine where he's evil and malicious and out to get you (aka, the modern versions pre-from the fog mod), hence why they're aiming at him. for what reason they're aiming is up to interpretation. but the herobrine coming from the farlands isn't one of malice and violence - it's one of kindness and gentle obversation, like the one from the original stories. he is simply existing in the world as the player, but they don't know this, because they only know the modern version of him - and not who he truly is

[sycamorality]

YOU ARE NOT READING TOO FAR INTO IT THIS IS DELIGHTFUL AND YOU GET IT. YOU GET IT. LETS GIVE IT UP FOR ANALYSING THE PLAYER'S HOTBAR

[sycamorality]

i like your thoughts... it is meant to be from herobrine's perspective! i do realise it is ia little ambiguous, but i intended it to be from him. i just didn't want to also draw chat... i have enough issue with the ui as is haha

[sycamorality]

the bow is freshly selected yeah! it's on the far right because thats usually where i keep mine, and the hotbar is vaguely based on my own :]

the player also isn't crouching (and probably won't be, i fear herobrine has found a player which only knows of the ghost he left in the wake of modern horror, one of violence and malice, instead of the origins of his existence, a peaceful existence in the world alike your own)

[sycamorality]

( @frauggiethecreature )

i have nothing to add, i simply wanted to highlight these too - eloquently put!

[sycamorality]

( @sympathytea )

the player is playing in a version beyond 1.21.2 and so is the entire world! there's no texture packs being referenced here ever, this is just what it looks like when you draw everything with the 3px regular brush in mspaint :') as for the held bow not being visible, that's just purely me not wanting to draw it (drawing hands and held items r a pain to do...) and the fact it was just selected haha..

the hunger bar is shaking because it idly shakes when you're out of saturation, not just starting!

and i like herobrine. he's just a guy. he was never malicious. that's a making of modern horror depicting him as an evil entity along the lines of entity 303 or what-have-you. i like showing who he is instead of who everything thinks he is

[sycamorality]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and herobrine isnt even holding any weapons.... he has no powers he simply exists and creates as you do....
