AI Art as character reference (And now some very unrelated conversation)

Actually a case where I think the laxer copyright of some things hurt it.

Sure the original work wears its inspirations on its sleeves, but had some originality. The movie was just a poor man’s version of Star Wars Episode 4 with some generic lotr rip-off thrown in.

Except that they could possibly sue most companies with “tall” elves for “stealing” tolkens depiction of elves. Warhammer which is in an partnership with tolkens estate has even rebranded their elves and eldar as totally not elves, probably because of that partnership.

:joy: Why so triggered?

AI Art looks pretty much the same per piece made, it’s generic and to me is substandard because of how easily it’s produced, thus being worthless

The only thing I would take issue is if someone is using AI as a way to scam others,

I would also say mobbing people who choose to use it is just cruel and moronic

The notion that if you’re an artist and AI is an excuse for why you’re not selling work, is frankly ridiculous.

People pay for what they want, and life isn’t easy. Bite the bullet and work on perfecting your skills/networking and trying to expand your career as an artist

Have mercy on anyone who dares to depict that bear with a red t-shirt.

Thats why elves in other settings are bimbos and bratty boys instead of ageless bastions of ethereal beauty and soothing songs.

Why spend weeks and weeks studying and refining how to best utilize AI programs to get the results you want, when you can just learn how to draw? Why purchase a Stable Diffusion subscription, when you can purchase an art program for cheaper? I’m disabled. Drawing takes a long time. I also have a learning disability, but I still taught myself how to do it all by myself. It’s all worth it.

Not only is AI art theft, it’s also a shortcut. An insult, tbh.
If you give up because your own art apparently isn’t “good enough” and settle for generated copies, think about what that says about your perception of art. Do you actually know how to read and appreciate art? Do you treat your beginner artist friends as unkindly as you treat yourself? I don’t know, man.

Warhammer and Games Workshop rebrand is less about them wanting to avoid getting sued and them specifically wanting to be able to sue.

Games Workshop is actually a good example of notorious overuse of copyright and fair use infringements. The rebranding comes from them being unable to copyright the original names.

There’s two types of people in this world stupid and ignorant or rational, choose the latter

The only true professional way to draw is with dyes! Anything else is an affront to art…

People using Photoshop, Blender, Sai, Maya aren’t real artists.

You don’t need to jump to these levels of poor strawmans because we disagree with your takes.

It just makes you look, frankly, stupid and not worth listening too.

While I disagreed heavily with your previous takes, it was still something worth discussing back over.

There’s also the whole thing about Warcraft managing to outpace them by leaps when it comes to the success of their franchise (in specific, Warhammer Fantasy at the time) while openly not even changing a lot of things they picked up from GW’s own property.

I am not talking about just taking inspiration either, as everyone, no matter how self-assured they are of their originality, has taken inspiration from things they already know; but things like Frostmourne in Warcraft 3’s cinematics having actual Warhammer elven runes.

Because that post itself is a poor strawman.

Just shows how little idea you have of how those programs or digital art works. Good to know all your arguements are in bad faith and from an obtuse ignorant view :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

In case it does need clarifying and that wasn’t just stupid tier bait, studying life and knowing the proportions and perspectives of everything and painstakingly portraying it by hand is not the same as writing “person sitting in room” in a prompt and the program just knowing it for you.

Also, I doubt I was strawmanning as I wasn’t directly addressing anyone or any particular argument.

It hardly is or was.

Berach being a shining example of a normal player once more.

Anyway AI images bad and calling it art is an insult.

Hey guys where’s the finished perfect art at??? I thought opening my program would do it for me???

Heard about hyperbole?

Hysteria about AI art aside, it can still be used as a tool by artists to get some inspiration themselves.

Anyone who doesn’t have him on ignore is a masochist.
