i merged the layers but good thing i didn't save and close it yet eh?

>>6876118
fair enough, but what i care about is results.
not artists jerking themselves over talent or skill. that's why some of my favorite artists are the types that are good at drawing moving stories rather than just technical skill.
although i obviously do appreaciate and pursue skill and such as well.

>What do you plan on doing with your artwork+AI? finished pieces?(commissions? would you tell your client how much AI was used? lower price?)
>where do you hope to see yourself in 5 years?
muh secret projects

>what have you done already aside from small tests?
most of the test you're seen. others are just SD testings to see what can be used for muh secrit projects.
on the manual side i'm actually just trying to get back to peak form again through practice.
it's has yet to fully come together but i'm doing this next to my main non-art profession for now.

>And you're happy with this, being reduced to sketching
yes? i love sketching the most.

>and curating images?
that's not bad either. and even using SD is not as soulless as you think. it's a more technical kind of approach though.
and besides, there are still more steps after >>6875737
i'm just out of practice so i never bothered to go further.

>>6876163
i don't think i am, since i am literally starting to practice again thanks to AI.
skill is simply a separate issue from AI. AI itself is a tool.

>Additionally for the audience it comes across as lazy at best if you are honest about it and disingenuous to your audience if you lie about it.
i doubt they will care.
again, because i believe in the work and that it stands on its own.
even if it was fully AI generated. if it impacts me, then who am i to deny that feeling?

if everything is "AI slop" then i am obviously wrong. but that depends on what will happen. how artists will truly start to do with AI.

not the coping that is going on right now.
