I did use an AI generated image as a reference. I placed the original drawing into Counterfeit V3.0 and tinkered with the settings to generate a couple of images as ideas. I'm fooling around with the idea of integrating AI into a workflow to iterate illustrations at a faster rate, though it's not perfect. This drawing of the goth I don't particularly like, I saturated the face too much and couldn't be arsed to render the frills on the dress which would've elevated the picture. All in all it was an attempt at new things. It's also helped me realize a lot of the lighting mistakes AI makes that I wouldn't have otherwise noticed, since I don't scrutinize AI images all that much.

It was fun, though I don't think I'll be doing it much in the future. I prefer using real life as reference, and I fear that using AI as reference too much would fuck with the way I think about light and fry my brain into making mistakes. But it is a great source for compositional and stylistic ideas.

Regardless of the references used, I drew everything by hand. No overpainting/editing/photobashing. Here's a timelapse of the thing.

No cheats, no rules, only tools.
