Clea Strange
The huge wave of AI generated aberrations that are invading the Clea/Strange tag made me do the impossible and actually pushed me to finish this big illustration that was 90% done in 2022 and just needed some final adjustments to be finished 💜✨
I previously published only the movie version but this was how the illustration was meant to be, featuring a whole range of looks Clea had through the years! Clockwise around MCU Clea: the first, "Steve Ditko" version, the straight-haired Clea from the 70s, the super curly 80s version, the most recent post-DoDS "witchy" look, and the beautiful look from the 2016 Annual look.
This was a massive effort and after two years there are things I would redraw from scratch, but I still hope you'll like it 💕

can you tag your mid ass AI art so nobody gotta look at that crap thanks 🌹
My answer is "No."
And this is the line beyond which my patience finally ceases to be patient.
@docty-strange If you can't see beauty, then maybe you shouldn't force your radical opinion on those who don't need it.
AI is a tool with which a person can translate his ideas, his thoughts from words into an image, a way for an artist to create something in a style different from his own and sometimes adopt an idea, a well-generated fold of a patterned garment or something similar to use already in what he draws with his own hands.
This is not an enemy, not a devil, it is not even intelligence, it is a tool, like Photoshop and other programs, including programs that people use to improve the quality of screenshots and photos, by the way.
I am old enough to remember heated discussions about the idea that digital artists are not real artists, but just hacks. And although I'm not old enough to remember the Luddites, I'm sure they had very similar rhetoric when they broke machines that only improved people's lives.
Every time something new appears, most people perceive it as a threat. There are still people who blame smartphones and computers for all human ills, just as a few centuries ago fanatics believed that the devil sat in the clock and turned the mechanism. I think our ancestors, who first began to use sharpened stones instead of fists, were also perceived as something strange and threatening. But this is just progress.
The world is changing. AI isn't perfect, it has a problem with human fingers and there are some legal issues that need to be ironed out, but this thing allows people to create beauty that wouldn't otherwise exist. AI helps in scientific calculations, including medical calculations, and much more.
Oh, and thank god I don't have to buy marble, hire a sculptor, and figure out where to find space for a Strange statue in my apartment, because I can see what such a statue would look like with the help of AI.
But pestering other people with all sorts of nasty things and demanding that they do as you would like is unacceptable. Seriously, when haters come to my inbox, most of them are homophobes who claim that Stephen would never love a guy and demand that I stop disgracing him, or with statements like that.
AI can make beauty, but you can only produce hatred and bother people with your demands. If you don't like it, don't watch it. That's how the Internet works.
Take it back 🌹 You know what to do with it.
