Tim PommorinI have to interrupt our travel report from South America for a moment with a current post.<br> <br> Very, very similar pictures are popping up everywhere at the moment, showing a person as a small plastic action figure, complete with various accessories originally packed in a sales package. These images are usually all generated with AI. Except for a small independent trend where artists make their own versions of their action figures; often drawn, but also folded from paper, crocheted or modelled from plasticine.<br> <br> Here is my take on this phenomenon:<br> The Garstl action figure. 100% AI-free. Completely classic, manual image retouching.<br> <br> ・<br> ・<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Garstl?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garstl</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarterPack?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarterPack</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StarterPackNoAI?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarterPackNoAI</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NoAI?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoAI</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/noaiart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#noaiart</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SupportHumanArtists?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SupportHumanArtists</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/actionfigure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actionfigure</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WestendPuppets?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WestendPuppets</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/puppets?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puppets</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/puppetry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puppetry</a>
