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.

Posted on 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.

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.

bookmark_border071725 – Create Something Everyday

Posted on 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.

Satisfying Kawaii Tiger Jelly Cutting

The reality is whether you like it or not, AI is here to stay and we have to adapt to it, adding it to our workflow. In my case, I’ve been experimenting with Google’s Flow Veo3 because my employer no longer wants to pay for commercials that don’t capture his vision. So I’m here learning how to use the tools so I can do what’s required of me.

Admittedly, I’m actually having fun creating these; am I so vain that I enjoy seeing myself in my creations even though it’s AI generated? That’s where the frame to video feature comes in – you can add a frame (photo) to make your AI generated stuff more original.

So yeah, enjoy my little experiments. I’m going to post more when I get a chance.

bookmark_border051625 – Images Created by Chat GPT

Posted on 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.

bookmark_borderFrom Westworld S1 Ep2

Posted on by savethesavages

Ugh, not the best screenshot stitch I’ve done but it’ll do. Westworld is a sci-fi show about humans and androids, technology, consciousness, death, rebirth, reincarnation, past life memory, playing God, becoming a god, the future and so much more; subjects that my air (Aquarius rising & Libra moon) signs love. We started watching in 2016 but had to cut off HBO for a couple of years. We finally caught up in 2022, just finished S4 and are now revisiting the first season.

Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

bookmark_borderMagick is Real

Posted on by savethesavages

Sometimes there are no words to explain how magick works in my life…so I just create.

I wanted to put a watermark on this but that would’ve been dumb, taking away from the beauty of this repeating animated symbol.

I don’t know what to call this symbol, I’ve seen it so many times in magickal works. I saw it on a tarot deck that I own and in the Psychonaut Field Manual. Since this PDF was shared with me for free, I figured I would share it with you because the original link seems to be missing.

Does the depression, sadness and self-pity go away because the season feels lighter and brighter? Maybe we just put it on the backburner until we feel the overwhelming pull of Pluto to take us back under to brood over our sins and aggressions. The neverending balancing act between love / self-forgiveness vs self-loathing, guilt and shame. Such a beautiful mess we humans are.

Everything is a cycle. Cycle of life – death and rebirth.

I really like this drawing of a geometric flower with my bunny in shades. I miss the way I used to draw. I feel like adulthood has robbed me of so much and I feel somewhat resentful. Like, what happened to the old me who used to just draw and create all day for no reason, no purpose whatsoever?

I know a lot of these thoughts are just passing through. I know I have much to be thankful for. It just feels like insanity at times when you realize that you have 12 signs, 12 houses, 10 planets and 4 elements existing within us all – every single one of them wanting to express themselves at any given time in an infinite number of angles.

Enjoy the aging process.
