btw reminder that 988/678678 is not a good or safe line and has not been for some time. they have hung up on people, called police & other carceral forces on people, & given bigoted or just rude/out-of-touch responses to people. funding to it has also been cut which means these issues will only be exacerbated. do not continue to spread or refer people to it. there are other hotlines that exist, please try to learn about them if you want to help your suicidal friends.

Okay I looked at scarecrow2007's blog and ir's so.... weird? Like I might've liked it ironically if AI wasn't used weird. Unsure if satire or not.

Lol, I'm honestly entertained right now, and yeah.

how to improve your Ai art!

I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

IF YOU SEE A COMPANY REPLACE REAL ARTISTS WITH AI,

BOYCOTT. IMMIDIETLY. SEND A MESSAGE.

IF YOU CREATED FAN ART, GET RID OF IT, AND MAKE A POST ABOUT IT.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT.

ITS UNACCEPTABLE.

SEND.

A.

Since you're on the topic I have genuine question about AI art designs from a non-artist.

In your opinion would using an AI tool to generate a reference for a commission (whether it be for character design or pose) be an appropriate use of said tools?

I thought about this as well and I gotta say, personally I don't think so.

Barring for the purpose of this ask the whole "AI art is stolen art" thing (which I stand by fiercely), AI generated images are really janky, especially reference sheets. There are details everywhere that make no fucking sense, anatomy is deformed, they have a lot of nonsensical parts to them so its just one big jumble of nothing.

And, it's pulling from designs created by existing artists and warping them to fit your prompt. It's work that another artist already made, used by an AI that's trained on a specific dataset. It also pulls from popular things that people enjoy: tried and true color combos, the most popular shapes that big artists use, theres a LOT of waifus, and a lot of the art genuinely comes in the same painterly style that's really hard to color pick from. some even come with color swatches that don't match the colors on the reference

In short, it's just a machine generating something that looks neat at first glance, and then is actual hot garbage when you just... look at it closely. Not to mention that an AI prompt can be iterated, and the AI pulls from everything it has, for every prompt, so what you end up getting is completely samey designs with small changes. Good for concept art assistance, but not if you want to create a Legit Character. The AI will give you something that it has already spit out a thousand times over and then some, with no regards to composition, design technique, color theory, because all it knows is what it has been fed and what the artists its ripping off of know (meaning if they have mistakes, the AI will as well. But in a far less human way)

Meanwhile, when you commission someone you are likely to go for someone whos art style will actually fit what you want to get, or someone whos art style you enjoy. Usually these artists will be people you've followed for a while and you at least know them enough to know what they can do. And they are also reactive, you can tell them to actually change and tweak details of what they're making for you. And not taking into account the bad actors out there (as there are always bad actors in every discipline) you will have something that has been made specifically FOR you, not just what a machine thinks you would perceive as eye candy.

As for poses... just draw it badly in ms paint. The AI will not give you the pose you want for the aforementioned reason: broken anatomy (and also because it will pull from its dataset of poses it can warp features onto. It's a lot more limited than you think.) If you want a pose prompt for a commission just draw it really badly in ms paint or on a napkin and write annotations for the artist (arm goes here, this guy is grabbing this thing, etc etc) Most of us if not all of us will GLADLY interpret your pose for you and draw whatever you want us to.

And like. Literally if you're going to get commissions anyway, why not commission a design first thing of all?? Or buy an adoptable from people who already make them by hand? It will genuinely be so much better than just hoping a machine does all the work for you. Please support artists

ALL BELOW - This is the big rant message about importance of real art and AI problems I originally wrote for a raffle on scrap.tf some time ago, but I decided to leave it here as well, for the history. Don't know how to hide the text in formatting to it not go a long line down, so there's just big text wall all below yk.

ROTATING SHARK FOR TEXT SEPARATION

ROTATING SHARK FOR TEXT SEPARATION

The Message to People about Art and AI.

Listen to St. Chroma by Tyler, the Creator. Look at "The Last Day of Pompeii" by Karl Bryullov for a one minute. Check out the pottery and sculptures that the local masters in your town make. Go to your local popular cafe and just watch the passion, soul n'effort with which the cooks and chefs prepare the food there for you. I don't care if anyone disagrees with this, but ART is what makes us humans. It is the single most important thing that separates us from any other species on this tiny, puny planet in a vast monotony of space void.

People like to consume art. No, they LOVE sm doing it on a daily basis - music on Spotify (or YouTube), movies, shows, sitcoms, a lot of videos on the same YouTube, art-comms on Internet, paintings n' photos on the walls of our houses, fountains and statues in the city centers, clothes, the design of your mouse pad, whatever else. But let's face it - artists have never been recognized. Never valued. Their efforts and skills have always been humiliated and belittled, fed the term "starving artist" to justify low wages, they were expelled from countries, imprisoned for undesirable works for political regimes all throughout history. Even killed. It works the other way around only sometimes, because look how powerful art can be for propaganda. Society hates artists, let's face it now. I will give you an answer - art has power. Governments (usually authocratic) are afraid of creators cuz those know how to tell the truth and the inside story about these political regimes to humiliate them in that way.

Today, nothing has changed, only the tools. Labels pay pennies to musicians, corporations use AI instead of paying real artists for their work & laiding them off, despite the fact that they also need to pay bills and feed families. Although, about AI... As Hayao Miyazaki put it "An insult to life itself". I will be blunt - AI "art" is not art at all. It's garbage, slop, pictures w/out the most important component that builds the very concept of art - human empathy. The greatest disrespect for the essence of humanity that could ever appear. As a final product within the frames of business - it's perfect, minimum investment and quick result. But from the point of view of being a person, a creator - no. Do you know what I, myself, personally love in art? The process. Emotions. The feeling of the pencil moving on paper. Seeing how my picture looks like I wanted from the start. The result is secondary for me (unless we're talking about when art is a job, which is important as well !). AI takes all of the necessity to take a pencil in our hands and learn all by ourselves. It uses data of human artists' artworks to learn and practically steals the work of a many decades to give a result without any soul nor purpose for existing. Quite handy to rule people who never bothered to bring their ideas in life by themselves, who can't think on how to image smth from the head and not with AI.

Real art, however, makes people go against tyranny, brings the power and sparks the soul for change, causes tears and joy, builds memories and relationships, connects people, makes us who we are truly - living beings with emotions, feelings, ideas. Creativity. Being an artist is a two-sided curse, I can say, but this is what makes me, us, humans. And I even like it tbh...

If you'll look at the Ancient Greece, you won't look for their financial systems or rules of etiquette in the first place - you will look at the culture. The music, paintings, mosaics, clothes. No art = No culture = No humanity. No us.

Everyone, at least many people, underestimating the real situation's state. I can guess why and you might think the same. Well, that's your life, I'm only a person from the Internet that ain't propagating anything in here.

So, for fellow artists - keep creating. Get a pencil/stylus/needle/any other your tool in your hand and go create. Keep being humans with personalities. For others - think about my message twice. As long as I'm making art, I'm staying human.

And remember! - no matter what "shameful" type of stuff you're doin', a silly doodle or a mediocre song, like anything you like - anything else made by AI in an attempt to repeat the output of human soul will always be much more shameful by definition.

Henri knocks out Mike

"You related to Ville?" Henri stalks out of his corner, looking for trouble.

Mike's jaw drops, scared speechless by Henri's raw aggression.

"Well whatever," Henri continues. "You certainly look enough like him that I can enjoy knocking you silly." He doesn't even wait for Mike to reply before throwing the first punch, and the poor man's arms go down right away as he lets out a pained grunt and staggers back.

Next to the ring, Ville leans forward, an intrigued and aroused look playing across his face as he watches his rival make a comeback in his fist bout since he knocked the man out cold several months ago.

Henri sees, and points a glove menacingly at his unexpected admirer, before taking the same fist and slamming it back into Mike's face, followed by a hook and an uppercut that send the man flying toward where Ville sits by the side of the ring so he can see the finish up close.

Mike goes down on his knees, and Henri slowly strides toward him, crouching down and delivering one final punch that twists Mike's head around, sending a trail of spit spattering across Ville's face as the knocked out fighter bends over backward into the ropes.

"A preview of what's in store for you, next time we meet in the ring." Henri growls at Ville, pushing Mike's unconscious frame the rest of the way through the ropes, so his head tilts back until they're face to face. Henri glares down and flexes one bicep to make the point, relishing his power over the defeated man and his rival's incensed expression.

Then he turns back toward where his boyfriend Erik is watching with satisfied admiration, and flexes again, almost smiling, but not quite.
