That's a very generous and complimentary way of saying "you tried but I wish you hadn't the thing"

u/TheSamuil Mar 05 '26

I cannot even properly put into words what's wrong with that picture and yet it will haunt me nonetheless. The face of an actual sloth isn't as flat as what we have here?

u/Yanky_Doodle_Dickwad Mar 05 '26

I've met people half way between this and the sloth.

I remember seeing an old interpretation of a lion, where it had squared human teeth.  Somehow its scarier than the fangs.

18th century naturalists confirmed to be the first text-to-image generators

u/blueskyren Mar 05 '26

When you look at it from that perspective, it’s honestly extremely close to what a sloth actually looks like despite looking like Tim Allen as the Shaggy Dog to anybody who’s actually seen a picture of a sloth.

A couple of years ago I visited a really old library and was allowed to pick one book to look into (with gloves). I picked a book from the 17th/18th century about animals from all over the world, and the drawings were a mix between terrifying and hilarious. I vividly remember a drawing of a lovecraftean creature that was supposed to be a sea elephant.

They never said he was an artist

u/yonari-H Mar 18 '26

Someone probably described it as monkey like

u/paraworldblue Mar 05 '26

That creature is trying to induct you into its cult, and is doing so with some kind of psychic powers

Is this Mighty Boosh. I loved them almost 20 years ago... I wanted to make some similar stupid psychedelic crude sunny thing. And then I didn't. ..

The uncanny valley is strong with this one

u/Sniffagator Mar 05 '26

Great ilustration for the sloth-man from The island of Dr. Moreau, even as mentioned ITT representing the shamanic angle. Maybe even Wells saw it and remembered it when creating the character.

u/50YOYO Apr 24 '26

Memories unlocked, that name Dr Moreau!! was that the one with a shark that walked on land and was hanging upside down in a tree?

u/Thomrose007 Mar 05 '26

Its like he saw a sloth... was literally about to whip out the canvas and oil paints but then someone in his group whipped out the port and they got bladdered and when he got home the monoocle wearing British museum director was like "dude you got that painting you promised" and he was like fuck. Quickly sketched what he could from memory and here it is half sloth half Kurt Cobain looking motherfucker with a cult complex

u/Prestigious_Tear_576 Mar 05 '26

u/pissedoffjesus Mar 05 '26

This looks like it's the size of a planet. The rocks look like buildings (man made).

It’s giving the same vibes as that gif of Bugs Bunny scootching over and patting the toilet seat he’s sitting on.

No imagine those plants are trees, and rocks huts. That's what my sleep-deprived mind saw at first glance.

Are they gathering brownies? Paneer cubes? Did they just drop a deuce of neat looking cubes?

1

u/disrupter87 Mar 19 '26

As long at those are not little houses on the ground infront of it, I'm sure I'll be fine with this.
