I forgot to upload one for Monday, so here’s your double-shot of extra AI goodness 😉

Here’s a little something extra from the AI vault to get you through the weekend. We’ll resume posting on Monday. Hopefully, I will have some of the financials sorted out by then. *sigh*
Remember: Ship loves you all 😉

I don’t have time or the money at the moment to produce more comics, but to assure you that I do indeed care and want to give you stuff to look at, here’s some AI scrapping, also known as “AI Art”.
The Disclaimer:
I’m very Picky about this stuff as I am staunchly against AI as a “human replacement”, so I wanted to clarify that up front. About a year ago, I discovered PixAI, which uses a modified Stable Diffusion trained using models they purchased from actual artists (as far as I know. It would be a bad look if they lied on their website, but, for example, I could NOT get the prompt to directly sample art on this website or even have a CLUE what “webcomic ‘Ship in a Bottle’ even means, so there’s that. Nor could I detect pulling specific art off of the Web, so it seems they’re on the up-and-up unlike Adobe, for example ;p). Normally, I use this platform to generate “inspiration” pieces: basically references that help me solidify an idea I have and then I draw actual pictures (often on-stream) eyeballing the reference AI.
Anyway, what we have here is an unlimited series of images (hopefully daily, if I can remember) where I prompted the generator using very specific information to try and get pictures that resemble your favorite porny genie. These pictures will go along with progress updates and other useful information in the blog. I’m a very fast writer, so these are just some quick-and-dirty posts to keep everyone appraised as to the current situation and give you some fap– er, nice pictures to look at. Obviously, if the AI butchers the image or gives her 46 fingers, I will reject it. And they will always be tagged as AI and they always come from the same source. Obviously, if you’d like more ORIGINAL works involving the actual comics and such, if we can keep nudging the Patreon into the $600-1200 range, it will ease some burden and allow me to take some time off and rehire our old friends and do the necessary finishes. 😉
But, for now, I hope you enjoy these cute pictures. I think the generator managed a surprisingly nice likeness ^_^

Pink Panties Paradise – Offficial Lore Comic of Pink Panties Productions (frillypink.com)
so, I could definitely use everyone’s help in dropping by here and bringing up the site’s visibility in the hopes that folks will toddle over to our Patreon and get an advance look at new comics! Our “Lore Comic” (“Pink Panties Paradise”) is a fictional account of the behind-the-scenes antics of my various avatars on “Up Late with Mace (Redux)” over on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/TheMacePaladino) as well as a more in-depth look at the characters I “play” on the stream and use for memes and other funny “skits” on TikTok.
I originally envisioned this as an opportunity to bring folks to our Patreon and trickle some of that revenue into restarting our comics “Ship in a Bottle”, “Peppermint Saga”, “BGR”, “KND”, and “Frilly Pink”, all of which have prospective artists lined up to work with me on their continuation. Oshigan is drawing PPP with me on inks, but I also intend to have him come back to KND. Then we have “Butter” (final name pending) for “Ship in a Bottle”, BlackWalker80 for “Peppermint Saga” (and “The Lavenders” animation project), MasterKrakken for “Frilly Pink”, and an assortment of guest artists and friends for more BGR antics.
All-in-all, the 2024 schedule is looking good, and I am largely putting my animation projects in slowmode until we can get all these things running, slot some commissions, and stream on-time. A tall order, to be sure. But with attainable goals, we substantially increase the chance of winning this thing.

Hey guys! Long time, no see! I’ll make this brief. I want to make more content, complete the current storyline of Ship in a Bottle, work on Peppermint Saga and KND as our “future”, and we now have a “Lore Comic” available on Patreon. I’m going to be focusing on Patreon as our primary revenue stream going forward. If you really, really want to see how this goes, please consider joining. It sucks, but I can’t make these comics alone or without capital. The good news is, I am making new things for everyone, thus making a trip to the Patreon more worthwhile. If we can get it into the $600-$1200 range, I can take more time off from my “day job” and devote more time to making content. In addition to Patreon, we are streaming on Twitch (“Up Late with Mace (Redux)”) and on TikTok with original content. I’m not going to post additional links here. There’s huge banners for most things right on the site. So please check it out when you get a chance and I hope to see you before too much longer with updates!
