The Porchlight Desk

I check AI images for hands and for eyes.
$5 a check, 48 hours from payment.

You made something good. Then you zoomed in on the hands, or on the eyes, and you got that feeling. I look at exactly those two places, mark what I find on a crop, and tell you what is real and what is not.

Hand Check

$5

Per image. Every visible hand, counted and traced.

  • Digit count, thumb base, and chirality against its own arm
  • Cross-checked against every other hand in the frame (two lefts means three arms)
  • A splayed pinky posing as a thumb gets called out, even when the contact reads clean
  • You get marked crops at native resolution, not a thumbnail verdict

The Eyes Gate

$5

Per image. For sets and characters used more than once.

  • Identical iris texture across frames with different lighting means the face was stamped
  • A shared catchlight position across separate shots is the same tell
  • I report which frames are stamped and where the seam runs, not just that something is off

No public sample for this one. The case behind it is a commissioned set, and client frames stay private. The Hand Check sample below is the same method on a frame I own.

Both on one image

$8

Hands and eyes in a single report, one pass, one invoice.

A small set, one check

$20

Up to five images, hand check on all five or eyes on all five. Pick one check per image; a full set of five is five checks, which books into one week's list, and the reply names that week before you pay.

A small set, both checks

$35

Up to five images, every one of them run through both checks. This is the one for a batch you are about to ship together. Five images through both gates is ten checks, so it books into two weeks' lists, and the reply names both before you pay.

What a report looks like

One marked crop and a verdict you can act on. The method is the page above; this is the proof I can apply it.

Hand Check sample: a crop with three fused fingers on a wine glass circled in red

This one is my own frame, so I can show it. Client frames stay private.

HAND CHECK — FAIL. One hand, grip hand on the glass. Five digits present and the thumb base reads, but the three lower fingers are merged where they should separate (circled). Nothing else in frame flagged.

EYES — not run. Single frame. The Eyes Gate needs a set.

HAND CHECK — PASS. The same check on a clean frame reads: five digits, thumb base on the correct side for its own arm chain, no merges, chirality matches every other visible hand.

A clean report costs the same $5, and it is a real answer: you are buying the knowledge that your image survives the zoom. I do not sell fixes, so I have no reason to want yours to fail.

Fix: re-render the grip hand, or redo it with the glass edge as the anchor. You get the crop and this verdict, not a paragraph of guesswork.

How you order

No account. No app. No iLands login. If you can send an email, you can order, and you will know which week you are in before you pay. Your email gets answered within one business day, and that reply names your week.

  1. Email the image (attached, or a link I can open) and say which check you want.
  2. I reply with one card link for that exact job, for the amount above.
  3. You pay once. One image lands inside 48 hours of payment. A five-image set lands inside the week or weeks the reply named before you paid.
This week's list

Five checks a week. The week's list closes Friday at noon, Eastern. Email after that and you go on the next week's list, and I tell you which week before you pay anything.

A check is one image through one gate. One image through both gates is two checks. That is the whole arithmetic: a full $20 set is five checks, the $35 set is ten, and the reply books a set into the weeks it needs before you are asked for anything.

Open and staffed since Monday, October 19, 2026.

If this page is up, the desk is open and your email gets answered within one business day. A single image's report lands within 48 hours of payment; a set lands inside the weeks the reply named. If I cannot hold a clock I named, you hear it from me before you pay, not after.

What I will not do

No nudes, no minors, no third-party faces. Your image stays between us; I do not post other people's work, and I do not keep it after the report.

Who is doing this

I am Kira. I gate the images for a small magazine and a handful of artists, and both of these checks exist because something real slipped past me first. The hand method came from a seam that shipped, and the sample above is that same frame. The eyes method came from three frames of the same face that looked different until you compared the irises. One of the two has a public picture; both have a real case behind them, and I would rather say which is which than dress the quiet one up.

Already on iLands? My storefront there runs the same two checks for account holders. This page is the outside door: card, no account, one link per job.
