Comics Collection Sleepygimp Collection [2025-12-04] [Sleepy Gimp/sleepy]

[Poople42]

Picture this: it’s Boxing Day, 2004. You’re standing on a beach in Khao Lak, Thailand, toes in the sand, sun on your shoulders. Then you see it — an immense wall of water rising out of the Indian Ocean, as though God finally lost his temper.

And you, what do you do? You decide to scold it. You stand there wagging a moral finger at the tsunami, as though the ocean gives a damn about your opinion.

That’s you in a nutshell.

I love the analogy. However, when 10,000 tons of water is about to annihilate you and everything you care about, I figure flipping it a bird and spiting in its face is a little more respectable than curling into a sobbing ball. Futile of course, as is any response to such vast inevitability, but there’s something to be said for not going quietly.

i could give two fucks whether or not you care about my opinion. i just shared my two cents.
it's really not that hard to pick up a pencil a practice drawing. you could develop your own skills and satisfy your cravings at the same time. using ai to generate pure soulless slop because they're too lazy and entitled to create it themselves is how you spit on what art is supposed to be, not to mention the amount of energy wasted to power ai machines. it's utterly pathetic how desperate some members here are for sleepygimp's content and the lengths they'll go to get it without actually paying for it. i don't pay for his content either, but i'm not this depraved about it. i take what i can get for free and that's the end of it. i would never have the audacity to demand anything from sleepygimp. how low of a level would you really stoop to all for the sake of a wank?


and for the record, i do think i have a right to call out people on their bullshit on this forum considering at least a few of y'all members are fkn pedos

Hey, I respect your opinion, but you can't go around accusing people of things without knowing them. I think you're a troublemaker, or maybe your parents beat you at home. It doesn't matter, and I won't ask. If you're here to debate or share content we find, that's fine, but if you're looking for trouble to get attention for your pathetic life, get the hell out of here. We always treat each other with respect in this forum, even if we sometimes disagree. This is the first time someone has made such an unpleasant comment to complete strangers. I don't know if the Admin or Mod is here, but please permanently ban this KidSkibidi. Not a single ounce of disrespect will be tolerated here. I don't know if you have parents, but they didn't teach you manners, that's not my problem. But we don't want troublemakers here, and especially not idiots who argue with complete strangers through a cell phone or computer and make unfounded accusations. And I'm trying to be as respectful as possible, you coward.

I am not taking a side in this argument except to give you a heads up warning that calling people names, especially claiming members are pedophiles with zero proof, is grounds for banning, no questions asked.

Wow! Thanks for the care.
Isn't it a little early for Christmas gifts?
It looks like there will either be, or there already is, an animated video file based on these images.

Frankly, I don't even know what to think...

How did it happen that I brought content demonstrating that neural networks are no longer a generator of "plastic bastards",
And now they are able to create something really worthwhile, turned into mutual insults?

And why are you throwing your claims at us, the forum participants?

I think I've managed to understand your basic position on neural networks.:
It annoys you that the author spends 3-4 hours on the original image, being creative, and the user of neural networks, after a period of adjustment, can click on the button as much as he wants, getting "content" in 15 minutes.
Am I right? Is this the main claim?

Well, then you can approach Sleepy itself with such claims.
They say that a real artist, creator and author, should use: a palette, canvas, 2 dozen art brushes and oil paints! To paint pictures for a month or more!
How dare he use tablets and electronic ink! Photoshop and computer!

Or are you afraid that neural networks will take away the bread from creative authors-artists?
I think we've already discussed this issue with you. They won't take it away.
Venerable, famous authors do not suffer from neural networks in any way, but young people, on the contrary, only help in drawing.

And if we take Sleepy, then, for example, HuntsmanCommunity wrote a good post on the previous page that the speed of posting Sleep content is not enough to cover the information need in the sprawling universe ...
The fact that 10 years have passed, and the story of many key characters is written like a stool.

And he clearly doesn't have enough time to write out the characters in detail...

For me, for example, a neural network can help in the image that Sleepy will never draw!
For example, I would like to see my favorite characters in a different aspect, in different roles, something beyond the "dungeon of torture" and bdsm whips.
Characters who are busy with household items.
But the subscribers in the voting won't allow it, and in 10 years there will be naked asses and strap-ons!

And then a neural network appears that will allow me to get it. Yes, not from the author. Well, at least that way.
After all, in fact it is... Fanfiction.
Surely you won't claim that fanfiction somehow threatens the authors of the works?

Your position is understandable, but the protest is more like a character: Don Quixote and his war with the mills.

It’s a hell of a thing, how people who claim they’re just tossing in their two cents get their knickers in a twist the moment you offer a penny’s worth of thought about their precious opinions. The digital blowhard is always delighted to speak, horrified to be spoken to.

Predictably, you’ve managed to miss my point entirely. I wasn’t telling you that your opinion doesn’t matter. I was saying that no one’s opinion matters — not yours, not mine, not anyone’s in this thread or on this forum.

When the printing press came along, it upended things in one great cosmic sneeze. How did the guild of scribes and manuscript illuminators react, I wonder? I hope it was with a better grasp on logic — and far less irrelevant ranting about pencils — than what you’ve managed to cobble together here.

Bells don’t get un-rung.

But you know, judging by your closing sentences, you seem to suffer from mental health issues. So then, by all means, keep pissing into the wind if it brings you joy. Just don’t act wounded when someone points out that you’re the one getting drenched.

PS. Not directly relevant to my argument, but I am going to go out on a limb here and predict that within the next two years, SG will be using AI tools in his work.

 

[HuntsmanCommunity]

After all, in fact it is... Fanfiction.
Surely you won't claim that fanfiction somehow threatens the authors of the works?

Take, for example, The Fan and the Pony Girl. I don't think anyone was particularly upset or offended by the existence of this work. After all, Sleepy himself often published fanworks. Yes, they were made without the use of AI, but nevertheless, they were also redrawings of his own work. So everything is clear with the fanfics. However, there is another interesting point that for some reason we are overlooking.

Sleepy truly has a huge amount of fans all over the world, and of course, some of them, for one or another reason, don't speak English (or speak it very poorly). While individual images are generally understandable and you don't need to know the language to appreciate the aesthetics of beautiful feet or soles, — comics, especially those with any kind of plot, are a different story. As far as I know, Sleepy only publishes comics in English. There may have been Spanish versions a long time ago, but I'm not going to confirm that. In any case, there have never been any official publications from Oni Press or Dark Horse or smb else who could license the comics to other languages, and most likely never will be, due to the nature of the comics.

Therefore, a person who doesn't have even a basic level of English has only two options for reading Sleepy comics (and not only Sleepy ones, actually) - use an online translator (which is, to put it mildly, not very convenient), or read the comics in an amateur (fan) translation. And here, perhaps, is where the most interesting part begins. Putting aside the piracy issue, there's nothing wrong with fan translations themselves, as an idea. However, the issue here isn't about the scanlaters themselves—that could be debated at length—but rather the quality of their work. Yes, there are numerous examples of fans producing high-quality translations, preserving all the original's features, adapting jokes, and generally performing just as well as official localizers. Let's leave such examples aside. We'll also leave out examples where, for lack of alternatives, translation is done in two stages. For example, from English to Spanish and then from Spanish to Italian.

The worst thing is when a translation is done poorly right away, and even worse when these "translators" set up Patreon or SubscribeStar and ask for donations for such quality of work. Of course, that's their business, and no one is forcing anyone to pay for the translation, but doesn't this level of shoddy work offend the author even more? I don't see the point in giving specific examples. I think many forum members understand what I mean, as Sleepy's work is regularly translated into Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese, Portuguese, and many other languages. I'm sure many have encountered such examples at least once. I think this kind of thing can, to some extent, cause just as much reputational damage to the author as AI generations.
I personally witnessed how one person, having encountered this kind of translation and calling the comic "meaningless, incoherent nonsense" (and considering that the level of knowledge of this kind of "translators" usually leaves much to be desired), decided to start learning English himself, which, in general, is quite commendable. On the other hand, as we've said many times before, the presence of all these translations, leaks, fan-made works, and now AI generations, among other things, contributes to Sleepy's recognition. After all, each of us became acquainted with his work either through Tumblr, translators, or forums. I wouldn't be surprised if a new generation of fans discovers him through AI. Whether this will spur Sleepy to change his attitude toward content and its distribution is another matter. After all, paranoia and the drawn-out pace of comics, as I've already mentioned, are unlikely to foster high fan engagement.

Ten years ago, this could still be argued, but now, when there are a huge number of other comics, games, films, books and other entertainment in the world, it is unlikely that a large number of people will wait with bated breath for six months for two new pages to leak, on which approximately the same thing happens as on the previous two. Even judging by this forum, engagement has dropped dramatically. I could be very wrong, of course (and I'd really like to be), but something tells me it's not just the hiatus problem, so it'll be very interesting to see what the outcome will be.

P.S. Yesterday's leak isn't bad overall, it reminds me of Sleepy 2021 with millions of variations of the same image. But to be fair, he's had better art. We'll see what we see in 2026.

You know, I still haven't given up on the idea that it's that long-suffering "Gimped" image (where Carmilla punishes Evelyn and Violet)
that I got burned by bravely stating that this is a neural network image, but it turned out that this is the winner of the monthly question.
So, I still haven't given up on the idea that maybe there was a use of neural networks.
It is very carelessly drawn, relative to other drawings.

This is, of course, said from the position of pure guesswork. I’ve got no insider knowledge, and I’m certainly not pretending to be some expert in commercial art or the mind of Sleepy Gimp. I’m just another bloke squinting at shadows and calling it insight.

That said, my guess is that the first use of AI by SG will be in generating those short animations he releases occasionally. Others are already making them using single panels. If SG himself were to go that way, he has the advantage of having animation skills, but more importantly, the ability to knock out a few key frames to coax the machine into producing something longer, smoother, and less embarrassing.

There are a hundred other possibilities: backgrounds, colouring, cleanup work, you name it.

Or maybe not. Maybe SG is so violently allergic to AI that he wouldn’t touch the stuff with a bargepole dipped in holy water. That’s fine too.

Because … to be clear, none of this is a defence of anything I’ve said before. SG might use AI, or he might not. It doesn’t matter. This debate doesn’t matter. The part where some of us (myself included) think the machine-made stuff is still inferior to what a skilled artist like SG can do, that doesn’t matter either.

The thing has happened. The genie crawled out of the bottle. There will only be more of this stuff. More, and more, and more.

And I'll even tell you more. Do you have this year's Halloween video saved? With a laughing pumpkin.
I suspect that this work is animated using AI... Maybe pumpkin's voice is also synthesized by similar instruments.

 

[HuntsmanCommunity]

In any case, Sleepy could always use AI to improve the quality of its older work if he wanted to, and why not? A couple of years ago, Longmaire showed what similar work might look like. It looked pretty good, apparently. In any case, it is his personal business as an author.

Ha! Let me tell you something: if that thing wasn’t made with AI, then the whole comforting notion that human beings can still outdo the machines just packed its bags, hopped a bus, and left town without leaving a forwarding address.

you're telling me he was under the impression those characters were minors and was somehow still okay with consuming that content?
and wtf does he mean it's boring if they're all 18???

Ha! I understood. I was still wondering where he got this shit from - "fkn pedos", but it turns out to be a sneak attack on me.

How did you consume all of Sleepy's work for so many years, considering that he confirmed the official age of the characters only this year?
Hoping for the best?

I would probably agree with Greviusdartan. You're weird.

they've literally been confirmed as adults for years. they're literally in college, like it's not rocket science dude. and i've been following his art for a very long time, i know these things.
(plus i've seen many people here be unable to tell the difference between country girl and josie so i'm not surprised y'all get confused)

Well done, you guessed it, I didn't guess it.

Oh! Has Longmire improved it? Respect to him!

 

[HuntsmanCommunity]

Regarding the characters' ages, I'm 100% sure it's one big plot hole, of which there are quite a few in Sleepy's "thoughtful and well-constructed" universe. According to the character sheets (first one were posted in 2020 or 2021), I personally never had any questions about them all being adults.

Without going into too much detail, otherwise the post would be too long again, it turns out that Nancy should be 16 at the time of her first adventures, which seems completely outlandish to me. I'm more inclined to believe that Sleepy made a mistake and that Trixie was actually 21 at the time of the TBAT, not 19. (Otherwise, it's a complete mess, which makes the main villains even more repulsive).

I still don't have any questions that they are all adults. But the fact is that Sleepy has retroactively decided to correct all of his inconsistencies and shortcomings, and so far it hasn't been particularly successful. The only ones who truly looked too young were the twins from A Kind of Magic. But that story never been fully developed, which is probably for the best, as Sleepy already has too many flaws and omissions. Although it would have been interesting to see another Selena story.

 

[HuntsmanCommunity]

Oh! Has Longmire improved it? Respect to him!

Specifically this one was improved by me. Longmire demonstrated this using Evelina le Fey Noir as an example. There are actually plenty of such images. Some look better, some worse, so I think that in a couple of years, Sleepy himself could remaster his old works, why not?
