New song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtkM85DurpI Part 2 of the "Dreilide Trilogy." I didn't start out intending to go so heavy on Dreilide, but she was the most popular character. I hope this will take off so I can have the chance to make her character deeper than "pin-up girl." I've almost got part 3 ready to go, but for some reason Blender's video sequencer has decided it will only play from the beginning of the animation, so timing the lyrics to the music is a real PITA. Whatever is causing the problem, it's a setting that saves with the file. Doesn't do it with a brand new file. I'll get it solved soon and get pt 3 up. Updates should be more frequent now that "Bikini Dreilide's Garage" is done. The rest of the mini-album tracks are done, I just need to make the lyric videos for them. Then there's a b-side album that is around 20 more songs. I'm planning to change a couple of them, but the rest are done.

I've begun posting music for the "Way of the Waifu" comic to YouTube - (not sure the above link is displaying, it isn't for me. If it isn't for you, try to find "Way of the Waifu" or wayofthewaifu1701 on YouTube) Of course I can't play any instruments, but when AI music came along I remembered the songs I wrote for the comic and thought I might as well see what AI could do with them. Well, it did a lot with them. You can't push a button and get a great song, but if you're willing to beat your head against the wall long enough you CAN get a great song. With a few AI quirks, and never exactly what you had in mind, but something that is also good. I don't know why music would be made any other way now, unless someone wants to make it the traditional way. When I was on my last game job I contacted an unknown musician to compose "Moonlight Disgusts You." I was going to pay him a professional rate, $1000 per minute of music. He ghosted me as soon as I told him what the project

It's the propellor powered civilian version, but it's pretty close, isn't it? Now just imagine that it's powered by jets - the problem with jet powered VTOL (vertical take off and landing) is that the hot jet exhaust melts everything and kills people. So the jet ornithopter beats its wings until it gets high enough to use the jets. The image of the wing-beating take off seemed like an impossible sell before the Macrobat. I thought Denis Villeneuve made the right decision going with the dragonfly/helicopter ornithopter for his version of "Dune," - but perhaps he "missed the boat" after all! After a few minutes of looking at the Macrobat, it normalizes - and then the strange part is that it doesn't bend its legs and leap into the air, it doesn't beat its wings to take off. It doesn't even walk, it has to roll around on treads. Don't you want it to be more bird like? Then its my ornithopter! How cool is that?!
