how many of you are also artists, and day-dream about having a following who enjoys your art, or ever think about trying to put together a graphic novel.Marked for deletion (Old)
me
>>99594sometimes i think i'll get around to it. it's hard keeping motivation to draw regularly.
Not an artist but I always day-dream. My favorite thing to do. I do it all the time.
I think art will die soon. It will become impossible to gain a following, let alone commissions as an artist because anyone can just type what they want into an LLM and get any image they want in higher quality than you could ever compete with unless you have 10-20 years of intense practice behind you, and even if you could compete technically, you can never even hope to compete in cheapness and speed of delivery. Also there won't be a community of artists because people just use LLMs to create images instead of bothering to learn art.As an artist, when you have an idea about an image, you probably want to create a relatively specific kind of image, with specific details and colors and character designs and character poses and stuff. But non-artists don't care about the little details, they probably can't even imagine the little details, and will accept almost any image that is vaguely related to what they want and looks high quality enough. That's perfect for LLMs at the moment because it's hard to control the specifics of what they do anyway.
>>99619I don't see the commercialization of art dying as a bad thing. There will always be small communities of artists and there will always be some demand for art made by humans. For the foreseeable future you can prove your art is legit by recording its creation, either with screen recording software or with a camera pointed at your hands. If AI videos ever advance enough to fake that then artists can always have meetups or public demonstrations IRL to prove their skill. Newgrounds, Youtube and similar sites were better before people had any expectation of making money from their uploads.
i draw but i don't care about having a following
I agree with this but I fear the future where it becomes completely impossible to prove it was made by a human. And unfortunately it seems that most people on sites like Pixiv are going more and more towards AI. With that said, I will continue to draw in any case.
>>99627"This" meaning >>99622Forgot to add it
I was about to type up a post detailing why I find AI images to stick out a sore thumb whenever I find them on porn sites, but then I checked again. The go-to method to tell them apart was them eyes, which invariably would fuck up somehow. (e.g. the eyelashes would look like smeared black paint, the irises were wavy blobs of color)And this still holds true for some AI images nowadays, but it seems like they're getting a little better in this regard.Attached pic is an halfway good-bad example. The irises still look the inside of a lava lamp, but you can still recognize what the AI was trying to do.
And this... thing is what happens when the AI just completely shits the bed. See if you can spot the differences.
>>99584I draw but I'm not interested in some faggy following.>graphic novelI've already made small-scale comics over the years Making comic books full time sounds cool but with the current state of the industry.. no.
Holy shit, why does all art threads have to derail into AI discussion? Shut the fuck up, seriously, we get it, you don't want to make anything new, you just moan and cry all day, don't drag us down with you.Shut up, please. Can't we pretend AI doesn't exist? I don't care, I will never ever give a single small grain of shit about AI so STOP. Go somewhere else.
>>99636>Can't we pretend AI doesn't exist?no, we can't. it's actively affecting how people interact with art and the creative fields as a whole. ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away!
There's some people here who really enjoy smelling each other's farts everyday. All they do is complain and cry, cry some more, endless wailing and suffering and 'woe is me'. They would never even bother to learn a craft, because to them nothing is worth fighting for, the world is empty and life has no meaning other than masturbation. So when they see someone talking about a hobby like art they have to go in here and demoralize everyone, 'yeah, art is like totally dead dude there's no point'.
>>99631What kind of old-ass garbage AI images are you even looking at. From 2021/2022 or something?
>>99643Actually, those are both from this year
>>99636>>99639I don't mean to pick a fight but I will. You say the doomposters are crying, but it sounds like you're crying just as much. You know what's coming and want to pretend it doesn't exist, so you hate being reminded of it.
You should give graffiti a try. I mean people are deffo going to see your art if its right in their face! Plus it is good exercise and you get to explore your surroundings
>>99701sure but how do you draw big things and how do you practice that. just the act itself is practicing i imagine. maybe you just keep practicing more and more detailed dicks until you start freely painting what you want? drawing bigger scale just seems like it'd be challenging at first. ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌ that's what i always thought.
having a following would be nice but it's not my goal, i mostly draw for myself and always post anonymously anywayan actual goal of mine would be being as good as Kentaro Miura, i could erase all the words from berserk and still enjoy it because the art is just gorgeous
i like physical medieval art that cant be recreated in the same way by AIyea AI will probably be able to conjure some random illuminated mANUScript art but its not truly the same thing compared to iron gall ink painstakingly written by hand on vellum with gold leaf that pops out of the page and toxic pigments that give you mega nigger aids if you lick your finger to turn the pagemy only desire for an audience would be some museum or rich collector paying me for the work
>mANUScriptXD
i draw, and daydream about myself getting lost in the little worlds i created, with the characters i made. but i do have the pipe dream of completing a major project and living comfortably off it. the project varies from whatever popped into my head recently, most of the time it's a game or animation, style varies. right now i feel like dabbling into claymation, again. maybe someday, i'll go far into a project, that i just keep going till i finish it. but i've been at this for many years
>>99761you're the guy that said he was going to make a loli guro game, no?
>>99701graffiti artists are the most powerful because they usually have no ctrl z
ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!
>>99660you?
I am an artist actually, with a BFA and MFA. I've done a lot of exhibitions and shows (both group and solo) and my work is kinda cross-disciplined between painting, sculpture, photography and stuff and relates heavily to things like cities, architecture, history, the activity of people within urban spaces and so on. The actual "publicity" of like...having to go to show openings, talk about your work and stuff is stressful as heck so these days I mostly refuse to participate in that. My art still gets shown and it's cool that people like it, but that side of things is hard when you are a legit sperg.
>>99803yeah, i did some 2d pixel art stuff, but wanted to make something more grand, got upset when my laptop couldn't run blender and put that project on hold, now i'm saving money to get a better pc, and doing basic art stuff, and a much more basic game, the usual
