I've been playing Slay the Spire again recently and wanted to do some more fanart for the characters in it! Here is the WIP I have for the silent!

The finished version of my latest Defect fanart! I'll probably be doing one for the other three as well in the days to come!

This one is for the Ironclad. I’ve also got the Watcher and the Silent doodled out and ready to post in the next few days.
Here is the Defect as well!

I have completed and released my first short story, Hide. It is a prequel to the novel I am currently editing, Singularity.
Blurb
Deep in the mountain lakes of the Yukaan Empire, Tomas ij’Lu’kan, a haunted ex-soldier and recovered addict returns to a hunting hide he visited with his father as a child to scatter his ashes.
Someone is waiting for him in the darkness of the hide, someone from his past, left long behind. In remembrance of the man that was his father, he and the other are forced to confront the transgressions they have made and the secrets they have kept from one another.
Viewable for free on my Patreon, on Royal Road, or on my Substack.

I might consider this complete! I forgot the nurglings, but maybe that's what the other flowers are! Budding nurglings!
This Great Unclean One is one based on the parasitic Rafflesia flower. It’s name is Festus the Fragrant. My impromptu lore is that Nurgle created the flowers as an attempt to please Isha in his sort of way, as much as it was an attempt to spread rot to the Galaxy.
The so-called “Pestula Petals’” intoxicantingly putrid stench is known to induce a powerful stupor and to bring a sort of awe and euphoria to the Plaguebearers and Nurglings that flock about Festus.
The microscopic seeds of the flowers root into the bodies of trees, animals, and even the armor of tanks, its roots splitting bones, bark, and steel as it spreads, before finally bursting out as more odorously fragrant flowers. The flowers consume and integrate the genes of its hosts, allowing the flowers to adapt rapidly to even Astartes or Tyranid physiology.
Creatures that have been infested by the Pestula Petals often have their craniums ruptured by the growing flowers, turning their bodies and surroundings into smaller, but no less beautiful, versions of Nurgles’ blessed gardens.

A little something I threw together as a test in Blender, but it ended up turning out better than I thought! Made in Blender with some post processing in Potatochop.

A while back I saw the DnD movie and Themberchaud really reminded me of a chonky little cat, so I decided to draw this up in Procreate a little later.

This is probably the finished colors. I might edit them a bit still. And, when I do a background, I’ll add some more shading and lighting!

AI-driven Denoise helps reduce noise in RAW photos, seamlessly. Improve the quality of your photos by preserving crisp details and removing noise.
I'm getting back into photography after not having the chance to do so this year. It looks like Adobe pushed out a pretty fine-looking update to Lightroom and Lightroom Classic a couple of months ago. If you can look past them calling stuff AI driven and AI powered for the buzz, there's some interesting stuff in here. I've experimented a bit with Enhance Denoise, and it looks pretty cool.
Enhance Denoise comparison
Pictured: A Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) perches on a tree branch on a cool Fall’s day, staring down the camera head-on. This picture makes use of Adobe Lightroom's Enhance Denoise feature. A full-size crop is linked to allow for closer inspection.
Pictured: The same picture as previous, except using Adobe Lightroom's conventional denoising tools. This picture also links to its full-size crop for closer inspection.
If you look closely at the pictures in the Lemmy interface, you just might be able to make out the differences between the two. Taking their full-size variants to another tab, however, makes spotting their differences a bit more noticeable.
My first impression is that Enhance Denoise appears to be a substantial improvement over the previous denoising options in Lightroom. I have to go gentle with the usual denoising tools unless I don't mind losing some finer details on a photo, and even then it's not going to always do a meaningful job clearing out the noise and there'll be parts that get overly smoothed out. But Enhance Denoise seems to let me have the cake and eat it too. Picture noise appears to be substantially reduced and the picture seems to maintain sharpness.
:2x sized comparison crop
Pictured: The same picture as previous, with some cropping and resampling. The picture is cropped to the bird's head and doubled in sized to aid in comparisons. This picture makes use of Adobe Lightroom's Enhance Denoise feature.

All that said, I feel a little hesitation with me using it. I'm noticing that, particularly on elements that remain well defined through conventional denoising, Enhance Denoise appears to make these elements too sharp. I'm pretty sure this may be counteracted with how I set the picture's sharpening, however. The AI moniker also gives me some hesitation toward AI specific issues. For example: "did those edge feathers really appear that sharp, or is the end result having me misremember it? There's talk of AI having the tendency to hallucinate information depending on how its prompted—how likely is it for the denoising AI to generate all-together the wrong thing while it's trying to denoise, and how much of a pain will that be to spot and correct?"
But then again, the older denoising algorithm has its own similar stack of issues that might make these feel less significant. Likewise: "how much can I denoise this until it's noticeably smooth? What is noticeably smooth, anyway? Was that a patch of noise I just had smoothed out, or was that actually part of a physical texture that was there?" As it so often goes, I think I'm gonna have little choice but to keep experimenting, keep seeing what feels right, and go case-by-case.
-
What do all of you think? Are there any other photographers using Lightroom here that would like to weigh in; any particulars on how you would treat an Enhance Denoise photo to brush up its quirks? Any lay people with their own thoughts of which they think looks better? Do either of the samples stand out as the better?

Once again I am doing character art for my redesign. I really don't work this large, the biggest I get is 100x100. This image is 150px x 150px
