Nias Worldzlittlerao@chaos.socialOct 28, 2026, 5:09 PM@davidrevoy awesome! please keep the 6 fingers for the next comics :D
Lux :flag_genderfluid:orange_lux@eldritch.cafeOct 28, 2026, 6:40 PM@littlerao @davidrevoy I feel that's the whole purpose.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:19 PM
@orange_lux @littlerao Yes, I'll try to sustain the idea to future episodes and see the feedback I'll have.

Man, you're commitment to 6 fingers is brave! Even Disney and his team only sustainably managed 4 fingers (and reportedly saved millions in ink and time by doing so).
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 29, 2026, 10:38 AM
@Lily_and_frog @orange_lux @littlerao Thank you. Maybe I should have gone 4 finger on one hand, and six on the other one to balance the work and add a layer of confusion.

@tanavit 🤣 Hehe, now I can draw bad hands with additional fingers.... on purpose!
But I'm afraid it will just be harder to be consistent with it now, I hope "future me" will forgive "present me" for this decision 😆
Holgerguineasofbayeux@mastoart.socialOct 28, 2026, 5:17 PM@davidrevoy that's how it works: garbage in - garbage out. Love it!

Gotta say, I love your comic. Keep being awesome in the face of overwhelming forces. Cheers.

Steven Sandovalbaltakatei@twit.socialOct 28, 2026, 5:23 PM@davidrevoy “Mom, why does Garfield have 3 arms?”
“Because it's Wednesday.”
“What?”
“Comic artists began doing gimmicks to poison AI. Garfield gets 3 arms for strips published on Wednesdays.”

Mer-fOKxTOwlglowl@chaos.socialOct 28, 2026, 7:56 PM@baltakatei @davidrevoy nah more like 4, its such a secretive great number!
fluffy 💜fluffy@plush.cityOct 28, 2026, 5:24 PM@davidrevoy also makes for more interesting guitar and piano playing!

That really works!"Intelligence?
You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means."
Alex :neocat_angel:nuranyak@mstdn.socialOct 28, 2026, 5:57 PM@davidrevoy I like that fictional characters usually just use Latin for spells
And I like that I can understand that "digitus novus" just means "a new finger" (literally "finger new"), even though I don't know any Romance languages :D
Stefan Baur 9 * 💉farbenstau@infosec.exchangeOct 28, 2026, 6:10 PM@nuranyak @davidrevoy yeah, that's something that became "word of god" a few episodes ago.
Luna Lacteajackemled@furry.engineerOct 28, 2026, 6:09 PM@davidrevoy She will probably also figure out how to use the new fingers for fancier spells.

Madagascar_SkyMadagascar_Sky@mastodon.socialOct 28, 2026, 6:23 PM@davidrevoy I personally wouldn't mind two extra thumbs. It would be really handy I think.

Merryjestmerryjest@universeodon.comOct 28, 2026, 6:43 PM@davidrevoy I see we have similar ideas. I'm going to be publishing a video about ways artists can sabotage their 'trainable' art to fuck with the models. I'm still in the heavy research part of it.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:15 PM
@merryjest Great! Do not hesitate to share, I'll keep doing it directly in my comics or as articles on my blog if I find better things or new strategy.
My main inspiration is still this quote from the author of Nephentes: “I’m just fed up, and you know what? Let’s fight back, even if it’s not successful. Be indigestible. Grow spikes.” 🦔

- Merryjestmerryjest@universeodon.comOct 29, 2026, 12:41 AM
@davidrevoy exactly. I already try to do that with my music compositions. I show an example of why the models can't quite replicate my compositional style in this video essay I did:
Frik 🏳️🌈🎗️frikinin@mastodon.socialOct 28, 2026, 6:46 PM@davidrevoy because of «recent events in cybersecurity», reading the second panel I thought she wanted the druid to generate some kind of magical number that has never been seen before; and the spell goes slightly wrong and just summon a giant 4.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:13 PM
@frikinin Haha, I had a quick look on https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/digital if the English digits/digital had the same latin root than the digitus fingers, and they do. Fascinating. I thought that was a French thing only.
thattagenthattagen@mastodon.artOct 28, 2026, 6:53 PM@davidrevoy as someone with a 12-fingered OC already, I know that adding an extra finger somehow makes the hands even harder to draw. Godspeed...
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:08 PM
@thattagen Haha, thank you.
Yes, I trained a bit on my sketchbook before to be sure this was something I could sustain on the long term for this character. I'm sure some angles, and action will be a pain to draw. Godspeed to you too! 
Ray Of SunlightRay_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.socialOct 28, 2026, 6:59 PM@davidrevoy Poisoning the data sets? Thats ounds like a great way to disrupt the GenAI
Curiosojcurioso@mastodon.socialOct 28, 2026, 7:06 PMThis reminds me of the manos, the evil antagonist of El Eternauta (a fantastic comic I wholeheartedly recommend).
14 fingers in each hand.
And they made use of all of them.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:04 PM
@jcurioso Wow, the artist went really over the top with 14 fingers. I can't imagine the difficulties to draw it with consistency accross panel. That's impressive.
- Curiosojcurioso@mastodon.socialOct 29, 2026, 6:09 PM
It helps that they don't appear in too many panels. That, and the fact that the artist is really good. Such an imagination.
There is a recent TV adaptation. It is very good, but it loses most of the magic of the original. The dreamlike atmosphere, the solitude, the mystery, the bizarreness of it all... simply they are not there.
It is the big masterpiece of Argentinian comics for a reason.
DarkrouxDarkroux@troet.cafeOct 28, 2026, 7:11 PM@davidrevoy A perfect, anatomically correct depiction of a human hand. 😉🤭🤣
You could start introducing a tiny background- or character detail in all your drawings and check how long it takes to show up in the slop machines.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 28, 2026, 11:02 PM
@Darkroux Thank you. Hehe, true. Unfortunately, my attempts are probably like grain of salt lost in the desert at the scale of 5 billions of images in a dataset. This little irregularity will get smoothed in the dataset by the large law of numbers and averaging. But I'm doing it for the sport; better to be a grain of salt than being compliant and offer on a plate my good labor. 😉
- DarkrouxDarkroux@troet.cafeOct 29, 2026, 7:31 PM
@davidrevoy Yes the slop machine has nigh infinite resources, yet seemingly endless hunger ...
