for pure reference usually all you want is to get an idea of how to draw something.
if your refs are more exact it can also help you with ideas for how you could arrange things.

>Again, I'm not against AI, specially not as a reference, but I'm against it in the shape of the OP, the type that does more than it needs just for the sake of it looking complete instantly, because that's precisely where a big piece of artistic identity lives.
i get that, but you have to look at it in terms of EVERYTHING you could do with it, not just what some bloke did with it. it is a tool and you can use it however you want to.

for me, i feel like as long as i put my 100% unchanged lines on top of the AI (which also generates things guided by my lines), then regardless of what it puts out, it will have a strong identity of mine on it.

and there also things you can let it generate that barely matter.
like imagine sketching the rough shape of a backpack and just letting the AI finish it for you.
it's like a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" kind of thing. but you don't HAVE to use it on things you don't want to.
artists need to realize that they have freedom in how they can use this tool.

right now it's almost an ideological refusal. as if it's evil. i don't think not fully wanting to draw a tree, a backpack, a car, is evil.

no? i'm saying that the misinformed people with kneejerk reactions are shitting up the discouse with their idiocy.

>and that's not related to AI prompting
how is that not related to AI prompting?
ai is not only about prompting in the first place. like i said, if you know the method to creating a certain look, you can use it as a base for your own work. this is just for coloring.

there are loras that "remove" lines.
then you just have to put your lineart on top of the gen as a layer and you're halfway there. this is what i did in pic related.

it is sdg stuff mostly. the point is not just the AI generations, it's up to you to think about how you can utilize this stuff artistically.

also reminder that this is a """"commission"""" so not really what i would do for myself personally as i wouldn't draw this or use this pose etc etc. pic related is still a better display for me.
