Just arrived: Two versions of a new artwork by PhillipThe2 without a name, so let's just pretend Bonnie is getting private lessons from Miss Go on a rainy afternoon.

Thanks Phil, you did a great job again!

Seeing such wonderful and real artwork like this will become rarer and rarer in these days when millions of AI crap are generated every day. Especially those creators like me, who live from their work, will sooner or later not be able to continue, because only a few people appreciate this work and will continue to support them, when they could have amazing works for a much smaller amount, or even for free. Just last weekend, a Platinum benefactor left me, and that really hurts. If this loss of supporters continues, I will have to apply for welfare next year. I'm all the more happy if you are one of my remaining supporters, thank you very much for providing my livelihood! [Big bear hug!]

These files are now available in the Special Folders for supporters, in 2k (Silver, 1080p height), 4k (Gold, 2160p) or 8k (Platinum, 4320p) size depending on the tier. Click on "Images taken in the past ..." at the bottom.

It just wouldn't leave me alone, so I put more effort into making "Rufus and the Diving Board" sound for all sizes. It was a really confusing task and after many attempts I managed to create video files in much smaller file sizes. So I was wrong about Shotcut, it works, even with tiny bugs. A big help was the converter.app, without their help this wouldn't have been possible. The 8k version is now only 4.5 MB instead of more than 20 MB, but with a slight loss of image quality. I hope you don't mind and still like it.

This file is now available in the Special Folders for supporters, in 2k (Silver, 1080p height), 4k (Gold, 2160p) or 8k (Platinum, 4320p) size depending on the tier. A small 720p version will be used for promotional purposes.

The good news: To find out how the Shotcut software works, I added some sound to "Rufus and the Diving Board" [KiBunch003]. It's not perfect and it could be much better, but with some sound it works better than mute. Now available for my supporters here. It will not be available in the public lair because it's more of a test. The bad news is that this software didn't accept the 4k version (it cut the length to 4 seconds instead of the full 8 seconds) and doesn't show any indication that it can edit and produce 8k videos at all. In other words, I don't want to use it because I promised to make creations up to 8k in size. So there is nothing left but to look for another video suite.

Bonbon added, now available in the Lair.

The annual summer picture is in progress. Since there are so many protagonists again, it will probably take a while until it is finished. Starring Ann, Shego, Joss, Bonnie, Monique, Kim and the Tweebs.

Thank you very much for your patience and support, take care of yourself and stay healthy!

For Supporters: One new and several old Bonnie poses rebuilt and uploaded to the Special Folders.
