> as a creator and not a consoomer: fucking hate flavor of the month that is an existing character but with black eyeliner and maybe a spiked choker if you're lucky, i would never begrudge someone being attracted to goth girls, but it's so low-effort.
trueee.
> also, i feel like basically everyone is ripping off rizdraws (picrel) recently. which, you know. rizdraws has a crazy upswing in quality across the course of their time in the limelight and is pretty upfront about their process.
I have a very vague memory of this person's art but that sort of reminds me of Melkor Mancin's art. He too had a crazy training arc with his art in terms of color theory, line work, etc
> at the risk of consecutively posting 3 times because my brain is poisoned by instant messaging apps, i also don't think AI art is that bad. it undeniably usually sucks ass, and aggregate sites like twitter and image boorus really have no tools to manage that kind of spam, but it's the artist that sucks, not the process, in basically every case. again it comes back to people who don't have a full grasp on fundamentals who are easily pleased by performing a kind of abstract "goodness", like dramatic lighting and detailed backgrounds without having the desire or understanding necessary to fix those mistakes, and don't scrutinize the results for more than a couple seconds before firing off the posting machine. and fixing mistakes like that *can* be a pain in the ass with AI, if your inpainting isn't especially strong or your prompting is weak, but at some point, just drawing over the mistakes and hallucinations is easier than making more mistakes and hallucinations.
The only times i've ever used AI for anything art related for either generating random art prompts for warming up or a rapid conceptualization of an idea for a character design because I'm having trouble visualizing in my mind. (ex. I type some prompts in NovelAI, generate a few images and I pick and choose the bits I like then I pretty much just draw everything myself in CSP.) So in that regard i think AI art has its case uses.
