Virtual Character Experiments with Flow Veo3

Posted on March 7, 2026March 7, 2026 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.

Drawing: Hold On To What Feels Real

Posted on February 25, 2026 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…

01-03-26 // Pages from my Many Moons 2025 Journal

Posted on January 3, 2026February 18, 2026 by savethesavages

Sat 1/31/2026. Edit: I have stopped using Grok due to repeated ‘no response’. I have since switched to Gemini and I like it so far.

Saturday, Jan 3, 2026. This is the most art witch magick shit I did in 2025 – writing my daily thoughts and goals down in between rough doodles and sketches with a ballpoint pen and coloring it with Zeyar highlighter markers. My deformed bunny makes an appearance as Bat Bunny! Ayyye.

At the time, I was also using ChatGPT heavily for astrology-psychology analysis. Even though I don’t use ChatGPT anymore, I really liked the way it generated images for me – it captured my “bold lines, occult kawaii cute black and white tarot” style so perfectly. And then I would print out the images from my phone to a little sticker printer called a PrintPod that came from Wuhan, China. Was I paranoid af about touching the printer?! You damn right, LOL…I definitely sanitized the heck out of it.

I have since moved on to using Grok more (I know, I know), except Grok isn’t great at generating my style of images that I want to see which is a bummer. Both LLMs are still inaccurate by the way, so pick your poison I guess? Don’t trust what it outputs — double check everything.

So if you don’t trust what it outputs, why even use it? It’s still useful. It’s good at distilling information — like astrology and psychology, for me anyway. It’s given me a ballpark estimate of how much taxes I’ll have to pay; it’s even advised me on my stock picks and finances. Because I like to gamble sometimes (I can be a reckless Sag), it has stopped me from making bad financial decisions.

I only use Gemini for coding help and work purposes (Flow Veo3 for video generation) but maybe I’ll try Gemini for personal questions eventually? Idk. I feel like Google already knows everything about me whether I want it to or not and so I hesitate to use Gemini. For the sake of ease, accessibility and convenience we all literally gave our privacy away. Sigh. It is what it is. For the record, I don’t have anything to hide but it would still be nice to have the illusion of privacy I guess? I don’t even know what I’m saying…

I’m posting this to remind myself that while what I wrote down was a fucking mess (I was trying to learn Javascript too), I did meet some financial goals — I managed to save $10k by the end of the year for taxes while still investing into both of our Roth IRA’s. And now, I hope to save another $10k by the end of 2026 because my car is aging and I’m going to need a new, used one. The creator knows I hate borrowing money and has spared me from homeownership. I’ve accepted that I’ll be renting forever. I’m wondering if I have to start paying taxes quarterly? Lots of think about and ramble about but today, I just wanted to post this.

To anyone who is reading this — writing things down will help BIG in your manifestations. There’s a magical technique in ManyMoons where you write things down ahead of time, like in the months ahead. So by the time the year ends and you’ve reached those actual dates, you’d have reached your goal. Of course, not all goals will be met this year but you can still write stuff down for future manifestations.

Become a Ghost, Fuck Attention

Posted on December 28, 2025December 28, 2025 by savethesavages

Dec 28, 2025: I’m going to ghost even harder for 2026…or maybe do the opposite? Anything goes at this point, amirite? If you are reading this — may you have love, money, magick, health, wealth and success on your own terms. May you be free from suffering. And so it is. Blessed be.

July 18, 2025: I have shapeshifted into another NSFW online persona. IYKYK. Stay occult, stay mysterious. Not everyone is meant to be seen or known right away. I know now that this is how I prefer to exist online. Fire and Air.

Sept 18, 2024: Still living by these words. Playing another character in this game called Life so we can continue to live where we live.

It’s February 2023 and I’m getting closer to living by these words. I pretty much can’t stand Instagram anymore. I feel like, if I’m going to waste that many hours online I might as well get paid for it.

July 2021: I posted this last year; except for the hustle part, this quote is still true for me so I’m bumping it up. I really don’t have a whole lot to say these days. The internet is weird so it’s better to move in silence…

I will say this though – it’s Leo season and I miss my favorite Leo: Roxy.

December 7, 2020: Even though social media is a big part of my day job (used to be), I’m not a fan of it as much these days. If you follow me on ANY of my Instagrams then you know I’m also not very consistent with any of them anymore. My internet life has gotten a lot quieter and I actually don’t mind. I think when I got suspended on Twitter in August 2020 (and it was for good btw, even though Twitter said in an email that I didn’t actually commit any violations ((ok, then wtf))), it gave me time to really think about what it is I enjoy doing.

And right now, social media annoys tf outta me, I find that I need more frequent breaks from it. I don’t have the same attention span. Which is why I haven’t been posting as much. It’s not directed towards anyone in particular either, I still scroll daily but not as much.

Also, since the top social media platforms have been heavy handed with the censorship, it’s pointless for me to promote anything adult. So in some ways, it’s pointless to post on social media.

I really like writing and meditation. And yes, even blogging (I still hate that word). It gives me time to hear myself instead of hearing everyone on Instagram or Twitter.

So yeah, I found this on Ice-T’s Instagram. It says:

Become a ghost.

Fuck attention. Just hustle.

p.s. I miss my ghost friend, Roxy???? – she loved to blog.

Stay Relevant

Posted on August 29, 2025February 7, 2026 by savethesavages

Friday 08-29-25 – I have typography heavy on my mind right now for no reason so I am bumping this up.

063016: I have an affinity for handpainted lettering and typography – gothic, script, ornamental, etc. Basically the hard-to-read ones that aren’t normally used in advertising – because although they’re lovely to look at, they’re kind of hard to read.

I drew this up a few years ago. I find that when I’m annoyed with something or someone, it tends to fuel some of my artwork on a subconscious level. I don’t even remember who it was in particular, it could’ve been a few random people who I just stumbled upon on internetland. I guess it bugs me when people hella show off or try too hard – they’re either screaming “hey look at me, I’m doing something” or “hey look at me, I post nothing but bullshit…but I want you to think it’s NOT bullshit”. So at the time I made this, that’s what staying relevant meant to me: people who just do useless things in order to remain in the minds of the general public, like celebrities who are famous – you don’t even know what they’re famous for.

Well fast forward to now. Being a jack-of-all-trades in content marketing and design, I’m starting to understand what staying relevant means from this angle:

+ Posting images and using words that you wouldn’t normally say to catch the attention of a potential client or buyer.

+ Being in the customer mindset, thinking like them so you can better predict what they are most likely to buy from you.

+ Paying attention to the latest in technology, social media, pop culture and anything related to it.

Don’t get it twisted, I’m not a fan of the last bullet point. I don’t like having to keep up with any of it, especially anything that’s cool and trendy. But since we’re in a global market now, meaning everyone is either buying or selling something whether it’s their art, music, creative services – we could all stand to stay relevant somehow by learning something new everyday and applying it to ourselves.

Keep your mind open to possibilities and opportunity, no matter what age you are.

Working with two AI LLM’s got me feeling like…

Posted on August 22, 2025August 22, 2025 by savethesavages

I have my own droids, ha! Except they exist digitally. ChatGPT will get it wrong but will also get it right…eventually. ChatGPT is likeable, you just have to correct it a lot. Gemini can generate slightly NSFW images and logos (within reason / context) which is what I need for work stuff. Grok can be Chopper I guess, just haven’t used it all that much.

Maybe because we just finished Mercury Rx, my communication with ChatGPT isn’t producing the results I’m looking for, whereas Gemini was able to walk me through some Javascript code. And I was able to implement it.

Just ramblings of an old woman who now works with AI in her day to day. How very Aquarius rising of me.

Edit: Adobe Firefly is a hit and miss for me, so is Lovart.

Frame to Video: ASMR AI generated

Posted on July 18, 2025 by savethesavages

I’m pretty happy with how this one came out. I used a photo of myself in a white fox mask that I modified in Photoshop. Can’t wait to do more but of course I have to wait or else buy more credits.

071725 – Create Something Everyday

Posted on July 17, 2025July 17, 2025 by savethesavages

I told myself that I would snap out of this AI-generated tool craze and get back to creating something everyday, even if it looks like crap. I know I won’t be consistent with this (as with every project I start then abandon) but I need to get back to making things. Yes, messing around with AI can be fun but let’s not lose who we are as a human species whose inherent nature is to create.

So yes, I’m going to do my best even if I am inconsistent.

I am also really thankful to have ended up where I am in life.

051625 – Images Created by Chat GPT

Posted on May 16, 2025May 17, 2025 by savethesavages

Here are some random images I had Chat GPT create. I’m late to the party of course but having fun with it. I saw people on Reddit do prompts like: create a living room with my stuff in it or create an image based off my relationship with Chat GPT.

I know you might be judging me, as I’m definitely judging myself. HARD. But the reality is, I don’t have much time to create art or draw the way I used to these days. It sounds like a lameass excuse I know but it’s true. In a lot of ways I’m low key stressed out thinking about money constantly and how to save, invest or make more of it, while also figuring out how to keep on living in Los Angeles on one salary while renting. So in some ways, Chat GPT is my escape right now. It does help me with coding and writing but for the most part, I ask it a lot of astrology stuff and to interpret my Tarot pulls.

By the way, I’m also aware that Chat GPT has the ability to gas you up – meaning that it will never judge or tell you that you are wrong unless you tell it to. So beware and have some critical thinking skills because Chat GPT will get it wrong; I have tested this with astrology stuff.
