So I Did Actually Make Even Longer Versions Of These Which Does Make Me Question At What Point Does It

So I did actually make even longer versions of these which does make me question at what point does it become annoying and how long can it get before websites just start going "Yeah nah too long 4 me" 🤔 Edit. Seems Tumblr also compresses and makes it blurry so that means if I did a super, super long one of these it'd be super blurry.

Split Into Two Face generated using AI and then morphed/touched up in Photoshop. The background is me re-using parts of older artworks. (I've used the same one in so many mixed pieces now) The teeth are also entirely hand painted but I'd really not like to point to that fact because I rest easier without their flaws being pointed to lol. This is a few months old now but I have been overthinking my usage of an AI face but I mean I just as easily could have used some stock images? Honestly that probably would've been easier looking back haha.

idiovoidi - fading light

Lyrics: Drained and depleted Pushing through the day Every ounce of energy It's all been sucked away Feeling heavy Like I'm carrying a weight Can't keep going Need a break Need to escape

Running on fumes No spark left inside Each step feels slower In this endless stride Body fading Like the sunset in the sky Need a moment to recharge Gotta find a place to hide Fading light I'm falling out of sight Begging for a chance to rest To make it all right In the darkness Where I find my peace I'll close my eyes Let the tiredness release

Maybe tomorrow I'll find a reason to rise But for tonight I'll surrender to the skies

Let the worries wait There'll be time to face the fight But for now, I'll breathe it in The air of the night Fading light I'm falling out of sight Begging for a chance to rest To make it all right In the darkness Where I find my peace I'll close my eyes Let the tiredness release

(The sun will rise With a spirit's shine true) And when I wake, the sun will rise With a spirit fresh and true

I used a cheap half working compact camera and took the photo in 2013 at California's Disneyland. I later decided to process it in 2023 using Photoshop to create my own unique effect with grainy, distorted and fading textures which actually existed in the original image and were brought out by aggressive use of curves within PS to ultimately convey the feeling of a hazy memory that is slowly fading.

An interesting tidbit is that isn't actually the moon, it's a camera orb (backscatter) which were pretty common on older cameras when using flash. People used to believe they were ghosts and spirits as I was growing, I remember massive hysteria from adults towards them and they often featured in spooky cheaply made ghost hunter shows growing up. I now know what actually causes them but it was a spooky concept as a child, I found its placement to be perfect to resemble a surreal moon but the fact it's actually a camera orb really adds to the personal memory element of this piece to me.
