/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

a cool and interesting use of AI. thanks for sharing!

>>6407458
Thanks, it’s really fun to use your own art and photos to inspire the composition and color palette, and then feed it a prompt along with it.

>>6407384
Sell to guys who are into the same thing. There is a market for cool and edgier stuff, follow and try to connect with people and other cliques who draw similar stuff. I never did commissions but I used to follow a a lot of people who did edgier things and drew motorcycles and whatnot so there is definitely ac community for it.

>>6407384
Lol what the fuck are you talking about? Stop larping your broken idea of what's a man, be yourself and post your shit. You'll have your community if you have skill, passion and spontaneity.

>>6407384
There are lots of homos who would love to be your sugar daddy.

>why bother learning to draw when you can just photobash and trace other people's artwork
>why bother learning to draw when you can just use 3D models
>why bother learning to draw when you can just proooompt le artificial intelligence
For a board that's about learning to draw, there's an awful lot of people that seem to do their very damndest to avoid doing exactly that.

As for me, I want to train my mind to BE the 3D modeling program, and leave all you fags hobbling along on crutches in my dust.

I use the 3d model to make the pose but I don't trace over it, I just have it on the side and use it as a reference

>>6407348
>"you can just trace 3d models"
>posts a picture that clearly isn't traced

>>6407348
I remember David finch said that using 3d models is incredibly tedious, unfun, and just slow to work with.

>>6407432
would you call it just a reference?

Please go to the beg thread.

If it's bad art, it's welcome on /ic. If it AI, it gets banned. So you're good.

>>6407332
>any critique
yeah its kinda bad, bruv, you should practive more

Realizing that is the first step. Only perma begs think there are any and that is why they stay at the same level. It's like riding a bike or driving a stick shift car.

>>6407279
There's a reason anime girl in a void artists are a thing.

>>6407279
The amount of shit you have to learn is overwhelming, the best cope is to narrow the scope of what work you want to make, maybe temporarily maybe forever. If you are painting landscapes you don't need to know anatomy, if you are painting in monochrome you don't need to know colour theory, if you are drawing in line you don't need to know values. Look at the kind of art that makes you want to make art and decide which aspects are really important to you and which you would rather avoid or leave to learn later.

>>6407279
>what are you guys still doing here

Having fun drawing, which it sounds like you need more of. Don’t stress yourself out over all that shit

>>6407293
he looking kawaii fr

An incredible display of skill, I strive to be like you onde day.

really don't wanna do commission work rn

woops

>>6407330
Not even an AI shitposter, but open source drivers exist retard.

>>6407331
>muh open source
Wouldn't work.

>>6407333
Dude even if they couldn't just use open source drivers (and they can) they could just use an older driver version. Or a modded one.

>>6407335
I'm not talking about making current graphics cards incompatible, I'm talking about new graphics cards being made to not allow diffusion models to work on them. Do that and within 4-5 years AI art as we know it is gone.

What I fail to understand is what's the purpose of this? Art isn't something that needs to be replaced, it's actually something that brings fulfillment to the artist both in the process and the result. There are tons of atrocious jobs who need replacement : cashier, accountant, housekeepers...
Living as an artist is hard, but it's something people still want to do because there's nothing more fulfilling than living your passion to the fullest.
What I see is destructive. It's not helping humankind to reach joy, it's actually deleting the few ways we had to get some sense in our lives.
Fuck all of this.

>>6407260
I'd unironically go to one of these AI reddits then I guess, maybe /g/ can help you
people here don't really like AI, or helping
good luck

>>6407262
Alright, Thanks a lot.

God damn OP, that's some low double digits IQ shit you"re struggling with, just ask your retard handler lmao

>>6407258
>why would you even want that
^^^^
4chan is turning into stackoverflow.

>>6407248
>I am a total brainlet
Oh, it shows.

>>6407176
If everyone could paint, then no one would care about it

>>6407176

Owning /beg/ fags with AI

thanks ai

>>6407145
None od the one you mentioned
Try these 3 instead:
Attitude
Mental Health
Community

just actively thinking about what you're drawing, trying to understand how it works, has worked the best imo
hard work helps but grinding by itself gives very slow progress at some point...

>>6407220
How I see it: to get better, think and understand. To get faster and more efficient, draw more. Taste should not hinder you too much unless you have a god-awful taste, but most likely, your taste is normal.

.

>>6407222
I remember a Korean artist said: "Given an infinite amount of time, a beginner and professional will each create a drawing with the same quality, the difference will be on how much time it took.", Do you agree or nah?

>>6407108
Pullups fixed 90% of my back/wrist problems. I try to do at least 15 pullups a day now

>>6407228
Exercise really fixes most of this stuff. I used to get a sore back from sitting hunched over for more than an hour. Now I walk 7km a day with a good posture, lost 10kg of weight and all my pains are gone. Being sedentary is the problem.

>>6407108
Sleep for 6-8 hours
Work for 9 hours
Draw for 1-6 hours
Lift for 1-2 hours

Everyday.

My schedule is to wake up at 1:00am to draw and start chasing any unfortunate soul until the sunrise chase me away.
Bath, a couple hours of rest, eat, go to work, repeat

Mind and body are one, boys
If one is unhealthy, so is the rest
God, I feel so alive

>>6407244
You're in bed by 4-5pm? That's like midday here some people haven't even finished work

>>6407244
Hes gonna make it

>>6407124
wow that looks way better. i should try varying the hues in places more

>>6407125
Just came in to this thread to say this.
OP, color/multiply/etc layers are always going to look like shit for this method. Gradient maps are the answer here because they're the only thing that won't make it look muddy and ugly.
That being said, I've tried working in greyscale many times myself since I've seen a lot of artists work this way and in my experience it's more time consuming, you will get worse results than if you work just painting normally and there'll probably be some degree of painting on top you'll have to do anyway. Just from my experience.

Look for a Ctrl Paint series on this topic you can find it for download on certain sites.
The issue you might be having is what blending modes you're using. If you're just using multiply, it's going to make it look weird because it's an additive mode. Think of watercolors - you can make things darker, but not lighter. Similarly, it might be picking up too much grays and making the color look dull.
Overlay, color dodge and some other modes can be useful to polish it a bit.

none. i dont think about generic anime. its some bitch in a shirt, what the fuck do you want

>>6407066
stop bot posting.

>>6407336
Yes.

Looks nice. Is that from that gamestop classic battletoads?

Hello beg. Reject anatomy, return to boneless doodles cause this is madness out of my ability

>>6407357
lmao at the background. and i kneel for that frog
>>6407058
i guess yes
>>6407048
>every weekend
try every day anon
>>6407046
the chameleon is kinda serviceable but it looks very flat on various places. However what is absolutely not up the BEG standards is the branch hes on top and background could be way more interesting than pure black. You are in trad anon. You have massive advantage: you can just dip brush into leftover color and make some pattern for the background.

Can I create any value with white and black paint?

>>6407139
Your work is much cuter without the thick outer lines yes

>>6407421
Well daily is clearly not working for you

Anyone notice how AI conartists will blow up your DMs because you criticize AI? Imagine being assblasted because someone didn't like something the computer wrote/drew for you.

>>6407057
I just find it mindblowing AI art is being shilled so hard all over the internet. In a normal world this would be an obscure interest

>>6407062
It’s even being shilled here, despite /ic/ not being a “proper” art community.

>>6407004
Harshit, I am going to add toilets to all my paintings of anime girls floating in voids and there is nothing you can poo to stop me

>>6407062
The person in the OP is apparently an admitted StabilityAI affiliate/shill:

>>6406972
>I pretty much only do digital
It shows.

>>6406972
Traditional art has 2 functions for a digital artist:
-Improves confidence in your lines (you will ctrl+z a lot less)
-Keeps you stimulated (It's a lot more fun to mess with supplies than it is to click and change a brush texture)
-You can do your warmups in a sketchbook to relax your eyes so you don't stare at a screen through your entire productive hours

Of course the biggest upside of digital is being a lot more forgivable so when I want to do a complex painting I just sketch it in digital, print it, copy it on cotton paper and paint it.

>>6407192
is CMI a meme now? awesome.

people say that trad sells for more, yet i see pro trad artists selling original drawings for less than eternal int furry commission

>>6407091
This. Thanks to living in hurricane alley, there have been long periods I've gone without electricity and/or internet in my home. My sketchbook along with dead wood books were good friends during those times.
