Should have made it a fountain with the hole coming out of the neck
Is this AI?
It’s slop, yes
I'm pretty sure that's people's plan...
If you get the right angle, the splashback could be pretty realistic...
Don't give him ideas, somebody might actually buy the Charlie Kirk fountain.
The ultimate manneken piss
... Damn, if I had $100k to spare (and a drill) I might genuinely add that fountain to my yard.
The artist spent $100k, they thought it would sell for millions.
oh I wasn't gonna pay this wankstain for that godawful sculpt, I was just gonna make my own. Maybe I could 3D print a little desktop one...
A 9mm drillbit could turn it into a peephole
