As if "swallowed by the earth" is a way to describe someone who's gone missing without a trace, particularly in the woods, but in Ditovo it may be more than just a saying. At least if you believe the many legends and folktales about giant plumsaina, or as they're more commonly known "earth belly". The plant does exist but usually it is only big enough to catch small vertebrates, which it does when prey step onto its camouflaged trap door and fall into the pit of the plant filled with digestive liquid and downward pointing spikes preventing escape. The roots of the plant are for storing nutrients and other substances, as well as firmly anchoring the plant in the ground when prey is thrashing about inside it. In order to reproduce the earth belly sprouts a red flower above the surface, a red flag that may perhaps save the life of one who recognizes it.

AI art has reached new levels, this is so egregious. A post on twitter by an AI scab shows 4 AI generated images of Flora from the webcomic TwoKinds by Tom Fischbach.
Instantly I recognised it as “emulating” the style of artist Personal Ami, but upon closer inspection, not only has the AI copied their artistic style, on all 4 images it has replicated their signature!!!
Here is a side-by-side comparison of one of the AI images with genuine fan art created by Personal Ami.
This is outright theft and copyright circumventing. Please support real human artists, here’s some links to Personal Ami’s platforms:

Szulitya, Wolf of the Court
Illustration of a character from The Wildercourt, the graphic novel I’m (slowly) working on. Szulitya is a tertiary character, but she’s a lot of fun to write and draw.
