I am burnt out, but hey, no time like the Present Continuous.
I have approached the 100th page of translation for #DarkScience aka #ТемнаНаука.
(Message from my future self: still there, I'm exhausted and overworked.)
Can't believe I got to page 100. And I'm not even drawing it, 'just' translating. How hard can it be, right?
</sarcasm>
One thing that gives me joy despite being tedious af is making #stickers out of it. I have no idea why so many authors, notably comic authors, ignore making messenger stickers. It's *natural* free publicity — if the pictures are memetic, people can do wonders.
AI usage was limited (mostly upscaling), and I'd like to put it somewhere outside of Telegram (for TG users, https://t.me/addstickers/DarkScience), preferably a stable FOSS platform. Suggestions?
Версія українською.

30 листопада — день, який я пропустив.

Професійно згорів, але хей, не відкладай на завтра те, що можна зробити в ліжку, га?
Я майже дійшов до 100 сторінки перекладу "Темної Науки".
(лист з майбутнього: досі там, я виснажений на роботі.)
Сторінка 100, свята мівіно! І я навіть це не малюю, просто перекладаю. Халява же!
</sarcasm>
Що досі радує, хоч і нудно буває, — так це робити стікери. Гадки не маю, чому багато авторів, зокрема коміксових, начисто ігнорують стікерпаки. Це природна реклама, і якщо пак меметичний, люди його самі розносять.
AI юзав мало (переважно upscaling), і хочеться покласти це десь за межами Телеграму (для мешканців ТГ лінк вище), бажано на стабільній FOSS-платформі. Є ідеї?

@stargazer A digital illustration of a character in a dynamic pose, set against a plain white background. The character is wearing a light purple overcoat with darker purple detailing on the shoulders, paired with dark purple pants and black shoes. The character has dark hair styled upwards, a wide smile, and is extending both hands forward in a gesturing motion, as if presenting something. The illustration is drawn in a style reminiscent of anime or manga, with bold lines and simple shading. Text reading "BULLSHIT" is superimposed over the image in large, bold, yellow letters with a black outline.


The image is a digitally-styled close-up portrait of a person with a shocked expression. The person has dark, spiky hair with a purple tint and a single white streak near the front. The eyes are a bright blue color and are wide with surprise. The mouth is slightly open, revealing clenched teeth, and the cheeks are flushed.

In the lower left corner, a hand is holding a crumpled piece of paper. Above the person's head, the word "DAFUQ" is written in large, bold, white letters with a black outline. Beneath the person’s chin, the phrase "DID I JUST READ" appears in similar formatting. The background is a solid, light pink color, and there is a black outline around the entire portrait.


A digital illustration of a person standing with a determined expression. The person has dark, wavy hair with a white streak at the front and a light skin tone. They are wearing a white t-shirt under a blue leather jacket with a silver chain hanging from the front pocket. They are also wearing dark pants and black shoes, and are positioned with a fist raised in a gesture of strength. The background is white. Above the person, in large, bold, capital letters, is the text "WE CAN DO IT".
