bookmark_borderVirtual Character Experiments with Flow Veo3

Posted on by savethesavages

Another virtual character experiment using my voice, this time I used Gemini to generate the character of me, then had it talk and animate in Flow Veo3. Then I had to record my own voice to replace the voice Veo3 generated and edited in Adobe Premiere. I’m sure they’ll find a way to do this faster but for now, here’s the result.

I’m procrastinating and holding off on creating my character for VTube Studio; it’s daunting and a lot of work. Also because I’m building a avatar/character of myself – I’m hella picky. But for now, this will do.

You can see the other one I did with Adobe Character for comparison using existing character elements. It looked pretty generic.

bookmark_borderDrawing: Hold On To What Feels Real

Posted on by savethesavages

I’m going to keep posting my drawings, doodles, rough sketches, bubble 3d lettering and handwritten thoughts even if they’re sloppy looking and lo-fi. It’s the antidote to all this AI slop. I’m having AI fatigue tbh – although it did help me with my taxes, it still fails with other stuff. Someone compared it to like teaching a child how to do things and you have to repeat yourself with it constantly – double-checking it’s output and editing your prompt a few times. That’s definitely an accurate comparison.

Anyways, hold on to what feels real…

bookmark_borderFound: Death and Taxes

Posted on by savethesavages

Praise Jebus, I just got done doing our taxes. This year I went with FreeTaxUSA; I should’ve switched over sooner but I got comfortable doing my taxes with TurboTax since they already have my info.

Two things that are true in this world: death and taxes; you’re going to die at some point, AND you’re going to have to pay taxes for the money (income) that you make.

Some random images that I held onto regarding death & taxes. Adulting sucks sometimes; you make more money, therefore you pay more taxes. Sigh.

You might be wondering as I have been myself – why tf should we continue to pay taxes if the entire system was, is and always will be corrupt? The short answer is: for the people. The USA is on the verge of collapse due to Pluto in Aquarius but people still gotta eat and pay their bills. Not everyone has the resources to fight the system, but at the same time nothing can ever be the same either.

Just some food for thought.

Found this photo in my Crystal Healer LA archives – I setup my Seeking Divine Knowledge 2010 painting with my Aura Quartz crystal skull along with other Quartz crystals and Selenite with sprigs of rosemary.

Look upon this image and breathe and remember – all is well. You made it through another day.

May all beings be free.

bookmark_borderThe Devil XV – HK Tarot & Occult Tarot

Posted on by savethesavages

Tuesday 2/10/2026 // Edit: I wanted to add a photo of HK Baphomet and Baphomet from the Occult Tarot deck. Side by side, they look aesthetically pleasing to me.

Feb 3, 2026: I love this particular card – it represents my style – kawaii occult graphics. Also, purple and orange just go together really well. Again this unique HK tarot deck was a limited edition purchase from Etsy years ago so don’t ask where I got it from. But hey, there might be something similar?

I’m sure people who read my blog – including family members – will assume I’m a devil worshipper or satanist just because I’m into occult shit. What most people don’t really know is that the devil isn’t an actual creature – it’s a composite symbol. It represents the material plane – worldy success, addiction, obsession, people, situations or things that ‘bind’ us to them in a negative way (bondage). It’s really just an invisible force that gets projected onto people and things; for example – women, booze, drugs, sex, white people, etc.

Like when people are trying to tempt us, or even something playful as an invite to something fun, daring, or out of the norm – we usually say ‘you’re being the devil right now’.

The Devil is also associated with Capricorn.

Posted on by savethesavages

A lot of people asked me when I used to paint – why tf did I pick the name “SHERM”? Do you smoke it??

The truth is, I had a homie that wrote “SHROOM”. At the time we were just young, dumb little taggers and into drugs (mostly weed, acid and shrooms lol). I never did sherm though, I didn’t even know what it was until much later on (it’s a marijuana joint laced with PCP). The only reason I started writing “SHERM” was because it sounded cool and the letters really flow together whether I wrote it, tagged it, or painted the letters in spraypaint – they just went really well together.

So yeah…that’s it. That’s the big secret. Honestly hated that name after a while, but I don’t regret painting it.

Edit: oh btw, if you’re thinking about talking shit to me about “stealing my name or whatever” – take the name, IRDGAF. I’m just an old lady now reminiscing about it.
