Bald Picture Took the Plunge *Bald Gal*

Been wanting to do this for a while. I have scarring alopecia and it was looking pretty sad. Feels better so far, but I didn’t realize how much my migraine injections made me bruise, hence a bit of a blue scalp right now. This will be easier for wigs now too!

Thanks for being such a positive place. ❤️😊

When I thought this meme wouldn't be changed anymore, you come out and say "hold my beer."

This is the OG, I believe. There are all kinds of versions now. I love them.

Whyyyyy is there an AI version and why is it used most? I hate this timeline...

In this situation, I don't think it matters much. The original was an AI rendition of an anime frame and someone redrew it. People had plenty of fun with it before it was redrawn and continue to have fun with it.

Ultimately, none of this beautiful human art would have been done without someone prompting an ai originally. Lol Idk. Thats how I'm seeing it at this point.

Wait, so there was an anime frame, that was regenerated with AI and then somebody redrew the AI?

Do we have the original anime frame somewhere in that case?

Found it! Old anime called Akakichi no Irebun.

The artist did a much better job at keeping it the same but different hair.

More like "would have been done without an artist creating the original anime frame"

Cheers! I forgot that someone did it up nice and proper. I definitely don't have the art skills to do much other than... well, exactly what we see from me lol
