i keep saying im gonna draw nerissa in may so here she is taking a pic of her new body for the gram

another thing i think is silly is that some people seem to legitimately think ai art comes from thin air with no humans involved. like no i typed a prompt and fucked with settings and did a bunch of research, and higher up on the chain from me there were a bunch of people who coded the generator, complied the dataset, and, yes, made the images it was trained off of

even for something like infinite art machine, which automatically generates images and captions for those images, a person had to code it and make its dataset. if that elsagate conspiracy where people said videos were being automatically generated based on keywords is true, even that would have had to have a human create it at some point

things like this do not just like come into existence from the ether, a human with intent created them. anyway heres what my oc knives might look like if she was drawn by ryoko kui

akira paleeease talk more about tomoyo just share a bunch of stuff about tomoyo I want to learn about her so bad. shes just so ermmm pardon my french. hot as hell

AKSDJHASKJDHK of course my friend. here are some Assorted Tomoyo Facts (aside from the things able to be gleaned from her reference blurb)

all of the amalgam assembly characters have an associated tarot card (because im insane). hers is the magician, which can mean a lot of things but in her case mostly represents:

skill and success (her work is complex but she is very good at it)

the physical and spiritual (her work can be seen as a form of magic and/or transmutation)

concentration and willpower (yeah)

creation and manifestation (she is literally frankenstein 2, having created a living being from nothing)

speaking of, i dont talk about connie much but its tomoyos daughter, a living being made from candy. she honestly started the project as a joke but once it worked she was like "WHAT THE HELL. i need to study this thing." and made it go fight monsters lol (it went willingly!! it was NOT forced)

the creation of connie is actually, OBJECTIVELY, the inciting incident for everything. so you could say tomoyo is the foundation on which amalgam assembly lies!

tomoyos usual work is commissioned body modifications, clones, bioengineered animals/people, and prosthetics. some of what she considers her best work (aside from connie) are: an idol/actress harpy girl (commissioned by a media company), a living ball jointed doll (commissioned by a toy company), and a mermaid girl with a functional tail (commissioned by the mermaid girl herself)

amalgam assembly will be a fighting game, but tomoyo herself will not fight because 1. she doesnt care enough and 2. she is pretty physically weak. anyone who wants to fight her will have to take it up with leo. that being said, with the amount of FREAKS there are in amalgam assembly (demons, angels, vampires, dragons, etc), im sure shed love to thoroughly examine (dissect) all of them. maybe she can be a dlc character with a similar shtick to valentine from skullgirls?

leo has a big gay crush on tomoyo (big shocker) and in the final product its going to be extremely ambiguous whether tomoyo is leading them on, ambivalent to it, or genuinely clueless. the real answer lies somewhere in the middle? tomoyo is married to science and thus cannot be wooed, but she also doesnt see leo as an attainable partner for herself (for many reasons), BUT she ALSO sees the value in keeping them around to do stuff around the lab

ok ok ive been going on for too long. here are some rapid fire facts:

her blood type is actually O, even though the commonly accepted blood type personality theory says she should be B or AB. she thinks this is very funny

her favorite flavor category is savory (avoiding giving her a favorite food so as to not curse her)

though she provides plastic surgery, etc to others, shes actually staunchly against doing it on herself

i like to imagine she had a deviantart sparkledog phase (or whatever the 2030s/40s equivalent would be) but idk if i would say thats concretely canon

she made her goggles herself and they are prescription (shes very nearsighted)

she often falls asleep at her desk, no matter how much caffeine she consumes

she likes to make pottery as a hobby whenever she actually has free time

she owns a three-headed cat named catberus (the heads are also individually named. havent decided what theyre called though...)

(NOT real lore dont take this seriously lol)
