π The Book of Tricks
I almost forgot to share the original image – this was crafted in November 2007 with Sculpey clay, and then photoshopped to add features and colors. Couldn't find the non-photoshopped clay photo unfortunately ^^;
I m so pleased with my description from 17 years ago (also strange how it seems like just yesterday rather than a lifetime ago):
Having to train for 3-4 hours a day leaves no time for homework! It's just like that with everything, except contortionism. Because it can be combined with pretty much everything! And it's pretty much useless in the end too XD So honestly, contortion is more like a lifestyle :3
It was too tempting, of course, to sculpt a contortionist, so I did, after all, contortionists and clay are one blood, I've heard many contortionists have an amulet with a piece of clay which they take out and soften with their fingers just before the performance, they say it "helps the body to catch the right feeling" ;3
I dunno why it's a witch, prolly because witches go along with snakes? XD
Plus it is amazing to see again that more naive and playful style in details like impractical pointy long hatt or curly shoes :)
This clay guy escaped from you! Now he wanders around the world, and every Halloween night he chooses one house or apartment, sneaks in and mercilessly bends everyone inside (just like you bent him long ago), until he turns all his victims into desperate contortionists. π π π»
I just hope that you will use AI very carefully... I say this because all the works you created before the AI ββera, I could easily recognize among the works of thousands of other artists, but now I can not always do it.
Yuni, you know that's impossible. I'm not even going to try. :)
Sorry, I just expressed myself clumsily. Let me explain. I saw this image on x.com pbs.twimg.com/media/GaOTr6LbUAIepPW?format=jpg&name=large
At first, I was sure it was your art. Only then did I notice the girl's rough AI hands, and that you weren't the author of the image.
In the pre-AI era, this never happened to me. I always recognized your art at first sight, no matter if it was femboys or girls. When I wrote the post, I was still under the impression of this "incident".
