Regarding AI produced images...

5 min read

Well I feel like I shouldn't have had to say anything about it but I've read enough bad takes. Imagine you have one thing you're really good at and enjoy in life, someone automates it and people start to say that you'll be replaced. Imagine it's a far worse and lazy version of what you do, but you suddenly have to compete with it. You spent your whole life working on this skill and they are trying to take it from you. Now add on the stress of trying to make ends meet while renting and working two other jobs. It is insane that people are even putting the work of a professional artist on the same level as someone who typed a few words into a program, but here we are! If you stop doing AI produced imagery, you lose nothing! Maybe a little hobby that you have on the side. But if I stopped doing real art, really any artist, I lose a massive part of my life. FAQ How do I contact you about work I want done? If you are a deviantArt member please send me a note If you do not have one

Hello, I run a small blog.

I want to interview artists and post them on a blog and introduce them to many people.

If you have time, can you participate in the interview?

Visual art is so far from my subject of expertise, so I feel unequipped to articulate this as well as I'd like to, but I need to say it. Your art is spectacular. The colours are so vibrant. Every line is so deliberate yet so expressive at once. Your fanart displays a unique perspective of love on each existing design, while your original work brings such a singular vision to a genre famously written off as largely derivative. Your original fantasy folder in particular is so recogniseably human and beautiful while still being starkly original, which I think is a result of your use of such a wide range of influences on the design beyond the typical medieval european knights one expects.
