Vera pinup - Cleaning the class
Added 2022-11-25 07:29:32 +0000 UTCIt's Vera and Edgar's turn to clean the class! Edgar is late put he's eager to help Vera (or at least look at her working!) Also, both characters are 18, they're not schoolchildren :p Poll comes soon~
Some art thoughts: while drawing this pinup I discovered Twitter images showing how good at art generation the AI is and how quickly it's improving. This made me feel amazed yet devastated - instead of usual happiness of drawing I felt "AI would do my work better, AI would do it way quicker and for free... Is it the end?" Of course I won't ever drop drawing the way I love it but seems like I already need to start learning something else :) And it feels weird: like many artists (despite the fact I'm not as good yet), I devoted myself to drawing - it's what what really interested me since childhood, it's what saved me during bad times and helped to express feelings; I spent years learning and practicing, every day I wake up and browse other's artworks to get inspiration, then I spend many hours putting love into each stroke of my pictures and when going to bed, I plan what I will create tomorrow! And now robots are doing a thing that was considered to be the most human thing: art creation. I know it must be great for most people but I needed to describe the feelings of an artist ^^ And what do you feel and think regarding the AI-generated pictures?

I’m not smart enough to give a thoughtful answer about the future of AI but I wish the most that it somehow helped people with dangerous or exhausting professions :)

2022-11-30 16:47:47 +0000 UTCThank you very much for this opinion! After thinking about it for a few days I also felt like paying a real artist for their work feels way more special and brings way more happiness to me even if the picture I get isn’t perfect (I commission my fav artists sometimes, too). But I wondered if people who aren’t involved in art world that much feel the same

2022-11-30 16:41:35 +0000 UTCOk your words charged my batteries for 100% Hearing that not only one’s art is nice but the personality is important, too, is very inspiring! Thank you a lot for this comment! I liked working’s with you, too ^^

2022-11-30 16:37:31 +0000 UTCThere will be a time (and relatively soon i.m.o.), when not a single job is "safe" from being overtaken by AI. At first this might sound scary, and if we can't do it the right way it just might be, but if we're doing it right it might prove to be amazing: Just imagine not having to toil away your days at jobs you don't particularly like but instead have the freedom to do what you really like to do. For example: I do blacksmithing as a hobby (making knives and other stuff from junkyard-steel). Sure - the knives you can buy in a supermarket for cheap might be way higher quality and look way nicer, and yet I'm havin fun making "bad" knives and there are quite a few people who prefer those "bad" knives over the cheap machine-made ones (some even pay good money for the "worse" ones). So I see that as an absolute win. The most difficult part in that transformation might be the way wealth ist generated and distributed, as jobs like we know them might soon be obsolete. And there seem to be quite a few people around the globe who have serious issiues with any oher way to define the worth of an individual other than their workforce. (Which kinda makes me sad, but that's the way it is...) The transformation will be rough and there most certainly will be a fair share of personal drama involved, but we as a species quite likely will gain a lot by that.

2022-11-27 06:01:15 +0000 UTCI have no artists eye if it comes the details. But I know AI art still has trouble with anatomy and lazy eyes and other things. the devil i in the detail. that alone will make your art better than what I've seen on this twitter. and for the people that count artists will always be, if not more now, preferred over AI. But yeah, I can see why AI art can frustrate artists. Still, your work is far better.

2022-11-26 11:45:04 +0000 UTCAmazing as always. And with that AI generated pictures. I personally think that these pictures will always lack something. And something very important. SOUL. It's pretty neat what it can do how fast it is. But people who know at least something about art won't see it the same. There will be only a result of a few minutes. But knowing that artist spend hours to make their art perfect is irreplaceable. They will see the path to the final result. Plus artists can share little bit of how they make their art or some are making streams where you can see it all. Sometimes it's smooth and easy process sometimes there's something that's hard to manage (like angle, proportion, etc). It also reflects time when you making it. Some art is really personal like after break up or wishes for birthday or Christmas. And THAT'S a soul. And even if the AI will get to wide market of artistry there will be people who will support their favorite artist. And at the end, like every other commodity handmade things are always more expensive and with art also more valuable. I wish you luck and a lot of nice art like this Iskra

2022-11-26 09:48:18 +0000 UTCI am little late to the party but here is my take. I may not feel the same way since art is merely just a hobby for me and not so much as a job. However, there is a lot to be said when buying or following art from an artist you appreciate. When I commission something, I want it to be done from an artist I truly admire. I have this emotional attachment with both the artist and the art. Nothing will change that. You're art is more valuable to me than some artificial art. Yeah I can go to the store and buy a knife, but I rather buy a handmade knife from someone I admire. If anything I am more concerned with the sentiment of inspiring artist. I don't want to people to think and say stuff like " Hmmmm why should I even bother practicing art if a bot can do the work for me"? Making art is such a soul enriching experience. There is seriously nothing like it. So please keep making art. I've said this so many times, you truly are an amazing artist. You're so talented and you've even inspire me to start doing furry art. I thank you for that.

2022-11-26 06:46:52 +0000 UTCWell, maybe I should also use it for references and inspiration then! It takes a lot from us, it should bring something back xD
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:06:37 +0000 UTCWell, this is the account that made me so desperate - https://twitter.com/pika_fluff_tuft Although they say they still put a lot of time into creation these. But the difference is that they didn't need to learn art for years to make those pictures
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:05:09 +0000 UTCThank you, I hope so, too ^^
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:03:24 +0000 UTCThank you <3
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:03:00 +0000 UTCSo far yes, but it's developing so quickly! By summer it could only produce some schizophrenic stuff and now it can do amazing things even though it still has some flaws...
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:02:35 +0000 UTCWe'll see what happens next ^^ I hope it won't be bad for anyone!
Iskra
2022-11-26 06:01:16 +0000 UTCThank you! And Vera had always had stripes on her legs - https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/4/patreon-media/p/post/31436904/a5cd25ca6b8542078053320e0f50ce7b/eyJlbmFibGVfZ2lmX3RyYW5zZm9ybSI6MSwidyI6NjIwfQ%3D%3D/1.png?token-time=1670716800&token-hash=3X2cSjxOjIvIWLKLqhRa7ErgO4XgFaKaMIPOb7Mr7l4%3D Or did you mean anything else? ^^

2022-11-26 05:59:55 +0000 UTCHowever now anyone can put their imagination and stories into a good artwork :)
Iskra
2022-11-26 05:57:43 +0000 UTCIt's definitely unfair for some program to be able to copy an artist's work for free and without giving credit.

2022-11-26 04:44:21 +0000 UTCI write a lot, and I find AI-generation good for inspiration when I’m stuck on something, be it a description of a scene or when I’m just looking to get an idea. I think that’s what it will be good for in the future, especially in the world of advertising and design. AI will never replace artists, in my opinion. Only artists can give the specificity required to make a piece truly personalized. Poses, intricate details, stuff like that can really only be done by an artist as it stands now. I can see artists using AI as well for inspiration and simplifying workflow. It’s a tool, just like photoshop or GIMP

2022-11-25 19:43:30 +0000 UTCtechnological trends come and go, but everyone with some intelligence always returns or prefers the things crafted by human hands. so far as I observed the AI art always felt empty. its always the same, because the algorithm can't be creative as a human. it just copies what it learned. that fact alone will make AI solutions in regard of art inferior. For now at least. Because honestly, show me a good AI pic of nice big furry booba.
Megadead
2022-11-25 19:15:30 +0000 UTCI don't think AI can really replace Artists as it only shows the finished product and not the work put behind it. The passion, thoughts and intentions of the artist in their work could never be imitated by the machine learning. But I think it could be a tool to artists.

2022-11-25 13:10:56 +0000 UTCPersonally I would not worry Iskra. I do not believe a i art will take over the industry of real artists. If anything it might make its own smaller AI Art Market but human art is still much more emotionally authentic and there will always be a demand for that. Just think about how many items these days are manufactured by machines in a factory and yet there's still a large demand for handcrafted Goods like on Etsy. ^^

2022-11-25 12:51:38 +0000 UTCNothing beats an artists passion

Alyxa Lorenn
2022-11-25 11:03:00 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t worry personally if you're doing this out of passion. Corporate design will likely be replaced by AI, and it's good enough for things like D&D portraits for minor NPCs. There's a vibe to your work that AI lacks in my opinion.
Alyxa Lorenn
2022-11-25 11:02:50 +0000 UTCHaving toyed a bit with AI and having seen more capable people than me do the same: It has some purpose but it's also almost always got obvious flaws and a definite vibe.
Alyxa Lorenn
2022-11-25 11:00:58 +0000 UTCAI art may be good for prototyping up concepts and generating seeds for ideas, but a real artists' hand is needed. I've seen posts where AI art does good work for generating a portrait for a a quick one off, like "this is the villain for tonight's D&D session". I don't believe AI art will be replacing artists. I think the challenge will end up being folding AI generated images in, and making it a tool to assist artists and commissioners.
WDG
2022-11-25 10:54:14 +0000 UTCNothing will have any value if it's cutting corners. A.I. art will never be something more than just an excuse for a label that Twitter 'artists' can call themselves as, y'know, artists.

2022-11-25 09:40:13 +0000 UTC1000 times the art made by your hand, your pen stroke is unique, an AI will not be able to match you and will lose your graphic style that characterizes you. continue Iskra have adore your art as it is PS: Vera is very beautiful, is it me who never paid attention or Vera has had small changes like the stripes on her legs?

2022-11-25 08:17:41 +0000 UTCAI will never be able to replace the imagination an artist has and the stories they can create with their art

2022-11-25 07:40:06 +0000 UTCThank you, hearing such an opinion is a relief!
Iskra
2022-11-25 07:39:56 +0000 UTCSome stupid soulless machine will never be a substitute for a true artist. Your work is already excellent Iskra, and your art style is one of a kind
Dr. Jones
2022-11-25 07:38:46 +0000 UTCPersonally not a fan of AI art solely based on the fact that in order for it to 'look good it has to copy from existing pieces. I'll not go any further but don't let it put you down, I would however look into how to protect your art. Never the less wonderful work as always!
