P.S. I'm gonna be drawing the new comic live on twitch in about 10 hours from this post (gotta sleep first) if you're interested!
I know it's just a webcomic but the KSP player in me hates how the engine bell sticks down past the landing legs
It's an engine skirt. It lets the lander move around on the surface at low thrust. Think hovercraft.
Hey, landing on the bell is better than those flimsy landing legs. Especially if you are tight on science and not unlocked the moving ones!
Maybe those are retractable ones that are just in motion already?
To be fair it's also blowing a sandcastle over on the moon. Where there's no atmosphere...
I think expanding exhaust gasses from the engine plume dissipating against the surface could do that if the castle was close enough. But then again, I'm not a physicist, just a KSP player
Buzz Aldrin saw the flag from Apollo 11 get knocked over by expanding exhaust gasses https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/ApolloFlags-Condition.html
The first time somebody builds a sandcastle on the moon out of regolith just for fun will be a historic moment for all of humanity.

As an artist, do you foresee people doing this just to prove they didn't use an AI?
I can see that happening. It'll be like watching a blacksmith bang on some hot metal at a renaissance fair.
I'm just wondering who has the time to watch somebody draw a comic online. It must be like watching paint dry
Not true! Paint dries very efficiently and consistently gets the job done, an expert in its field. Meanwhile I get easily distracted and make the process take a whole lot longer than it needs to.
Haha oh I didn't realize it was you! I should really watch your stream before making judgements about it lmao. What kinds of people usually come and watch?
No that's just something some artists do, it's not about proving anything.
Not about proving anything yet. Not hard to foresee it'll have a larger effect as time goes on.
I'm a bit worried that if enough people livestream their work in this way that it would eventually get yoinked as more training data for AI companies to produce "live drawing" machine models.
I dunno about that. The only realistic future imo is that people will stop caring and AI will be treated as an artist's tool.
Not trying to make a moral judgement about it, thats just the only way I can really see it shaking out.
You already know it's only gonna get more impressive and ubiquitous.
That's what happened to the first flag up there.
