Last AI/ML repaint for tonight. This isn't as easy as press a button or use a special filter. I am doing some conscious "artist stuff" here to get the look I want, plus a final postwork step on top of this.

I also do some hand painting here and there to perfect things, if needed. Not 100% a machine, there is still a human in this process during every step making choices, doing some painting, and giving the green light when a step is complete. One thing that bugs me about the obvious "put a filter on this" style of art is that the artist is giving up control to a computer to make critical choices. I don't like that, not at all. You need a human in here, and you need art skills and techniques to make these things sing.

There is no "make art" button. There are millions of them you need to know how to use. And real artistic tools in drawers that must be used.

And thanks Renee for posing, once you heard your girlfriend was around you wanted to play. Don't worry, I will get to you soon as well.
