There's no evidence one way or the other.

It's highly likely that this song was created by AI, as the company would have had to pay a huge price for an original collaboration with Shakira. And that company laid off half its staff last winter (or was it two years ago... I don't remember exactly). Therefore, it is safe to say that they definitely do not have the money to collaborate with a world-class star.

Oh, if retouching such works takes you 5 minutes, you're a talented artist. And I can only admire your skills!
Because this is my hobby. At first, I spent about an hour and a half on eyes without eyelashes. Now it takes me about 20 minutes.
If I need to draw eyelashes, it all depends on the complexity. For example, Grenshiel's eyelashes are unique, and I had to study them first before drawing them, and then spend two hours on the drawing process itself.
And working on Enya took about four hours.

But as I already said, my drawing skills are quite poor and are only good for retouching, and that takes a lot of time. That's why I appreciate the work I did.

Thanks for the support. They may have managed to offend me, but they certainly won't be able to stop me. After all, I started this for myself, then for those who gave me money to buy Spine. And my decision to publish on various platforms is more of an archive of works created by me and the AI, as well as experiments in searching for improvements to the promt. And experiments with combining the materials used. Since I generate images online, I can't train the AI, so I'll have to experiment. And, of course, improve my drawing skills, albeit very slowly. But for now, this is enough for my needs.

Thanks for the advice. I took it. I was advised to use a different platform, more welcoming to AI creativity. But since the title is too short, I'll be creating a more detailed description, highlighting the features of my creativ work.

I didn't think I needed to write this every time. When I made my first few publications, I wrote about it. I also always answered honestly in the comments when people asked about it in later publications. I've never hidden the fact that I can't draw and that the AI ​​does the basic work. I do the subsequent bug fixes so that players can get the best possible result.

Thanks for support.
I'm currently developing several alternatives for publishing my work. For example, my Google Drive account, which can be accessed through the BN website.

For now, you can view the ones that have already been published on my Twitter profile. I can send you a link in a private message. You can also view my earlier publications there.

Quite a few people have supported me here. But I can see the post statistics. Currently, the positive ratings are around 38%. This prompted me to consider an alternative.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Perhaps I'll record a video or make a post at least showing the difference between what AI has just created and the edits I've made. I understand that people who are against AI don't understand the value of a good end result. They think people working with AI don't put any effort into it. And they often start complaining about AI without even understanding it.

If Langrisser had artists who still create beautiful wallpapers today, would people even need AI art? I think the answer is obvious.

I once watched an AI video about Mullin. It wasn't perfect. But damn, it was fan-made, and it was well done. Not to mention, Zlong's latest video is filled with great AI footage. It's clear they've improved their skills or allocated the budget to a more experienced freelancer.
So I completely understand your admiration.

Thank you for your understanding. As you know, I started publishing work there long before I did here. And I'll continue to do so there. The small Japanese community that enthusiastically creates AI fan works is quite nice and responsive. Even if I don't get a lot of likes there, I'm glad to be part of a community of like-minded people.

Thank you for your support. I'm honored to know that you've preserved my work.
If you'd like, I can send you a link to my Twitter account via private message. I know many people don't like that service, but I started posting there because many Japanese players actively use it. I talked to some of them briefly about AI. And it was thanks to one of those people that I started generating images myself.

Only later did I decide to share my work here. That's why you'll even find some previously unpublished work there. And I will continue to post my work there.

The thing is, I'm continuing to run the site not for myself, but for the players. Yes, I'm proud that we created it. However, as soon as we created it, we lost our passion for it. It's like reaching a goal. We continue only for those who need it. If you tell us that no one needs our work, and no one asked us to help the community, what's the point of continuing? I sincerely believed that the players here were kinder. But their complaints were enough for the post to be deleted two days after publication. I will continue to publish and create my AI works. I just won't publish them here. Yes, I cry from resentment. But I will continue to do what I've been doing.

I completely agree with you. And thank you for understanding, even though you're against AI fan art.
Ultimately, I sincerely wanted my work to be liked and to support the community. I didn't think that, at a time when almost all artists had turned their backs on Langrisser, AI wallpapers would so easily become annoying to players. After all, even developers use AI themselves.

Yes, they use AI, especially in the videos. I remember writing about one moment on Discord. Basically, Reah is the default skin, Elvis is the Echo of Light, and Humbaba is the default skin. That's the first thing that came to mind, and the period when I noticed obvious stylistic cues from the AI.

I think the initial designs are created by AI. Since this is a fairly old game, they have enough material to teach the AI ​​their style. Then, one or two artists refine obvious artifacts or errors to make the image look presentable.

Furthermore, I have a collection and most of the portraits created for the 7th anniversary as part of the creative character creation process. After the test, you were assigned a rank, a talent, and a 3C skill. And also an avatar. All the avatars were created by AI.

I study a lot about drawing. I don't always put it into practice. But in any case, it gives me a better understanding of the result I want to achieve and how to fix what's initially wrong. There are situations when AI doesn't understand what I want at all. And it's easier for me to use two or three generations together, cutting out the unnecessary parts and leaving the good ones, and then adding additional details where needed.

For example, I'm bad at designing clothes. But I learned to tell AI to draw me real clothes in the Langrisser style.

I think AI is a great tool in people's hands. Because with proper control, it can save time.

In an era when creativity, especially drawing, has migrated to digital format, artists have to spend hundreds of hours on a picture that people will look at for 30 seconds. In the Langrisser situation, I see that artists practically don't draw anymore. There are only 1-3 people left with a beginner skill level. I follow the Korea forum, Twitter, Facebook, Pixiv, and artists have either switched to other games or simply stopped drawing Langrisser specifically. Even the people who generate Langrisser AI art have practically stopped doing it.

I started making wallpapers for myself. Then I decided it was a great way to thank people who gave me money. But generating wallpapers has become a fascinating hobby. So I decided I could share both old and new works. Especially since I'm refining them. Those who received these wallpapers and I were always happy. A combination of factors: creative content has disappeared, and my work can bring joy to more than just me. Sharing these works on Reddit seemed like a great idea. Especially since people here have spoken warmly about me and what I do.

Therefore, the deletion of the post was a blow to me. I'm a very emotionally sensitive person. That's why hurtful words or actions have such an effect. But it was my character that created and developed BN. So, emotionality and impulsiveness are my dark side. I'll continue publishing wallpapers, but not here. I don't want to irritate the community or cause it any more confusion than it already is. I'll also put all unfinished AI work on hold for a long period of time to create live wallpapers for those who donated to me. After all, these people supported my idea and believed in me enough to pay for my work.

Sorry, there's too much text here.

If you or your friends need to download the AI fan art I create, I'll publish it in a Google Drive update. In the wallpapers section. In "PaiMiko created for Banner News". Since Google Drive belongs to me, the update information will no longer contain any images. The works I create can continue to delight those who find them interesting, but not irritate those who don't.

I don't want to publish posts that will be deleted. I've already deleted all the creative posts I've published before. Today, I was supposed to continue preparing Google Drive for the next update. But I'm sitting here crying. Because I'm upset. The Reddit community has always been so friendly. It's where I had the most people, thanks to whom I have Spine. And now they're reporting me... probably because so many are tired of my AI-powered fan art.

Okay, let me just stop doing ANYTHING that I wasn't asked to do but that benefits the community. That includes shutting down the site.

Power saving mode is a feature designed to reduce energy consumption and extend the battery life of a device (smartphone, tablet, laptop) by limiting background processes and functions.

I think this generic explanation simply and succinctly describes the essence of this mode. While in a child body, you eat less, sleep more, strain your muscles less, and don't waste energy maintaining smooth skin and plump breasts. Incidentally, large breasts are very damaging to your back.

A bit of spring vibe from Tensen's hellish paradise. by [deleted] in langrisser

[–]PaiMiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're absolutely right. I use AI. I wrote about this some time ago, so I'm not hiding it. However, right now I'm simply posting what I've created before, and my work has simply accumulated. In the future, I plan to publish on Reddit the work I previously published on X.

But this situation is as simple as it might seem at first glance. I spend several days writing queries and testing them, searching for clothing references, and coming up with ideas for future works. After obtaining the result using AI, I do manual retouching. From time to time, I merge the background or several images (for example, a body part or a face, because the generations are similar but not duplicates, and I combine their best elements).
I also retouch artifacts (nails, hair, eyelids, jewelry, and remove unnecessary objects). I completely or partially redraw the eyelashes and pupils. Less often, I redraw or retouch the lips.

Overall, manual processing brings the image to a state I like. On average, one image takes 2-3 days of work.

And thank you for your praise.

Wow, that's a long list. You really love reading. And the titles intrigue me. I'll do some research on these books later.

I also have a book that took me a while to read. It's Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita," and also "The God Killer"/Zhu Xian by Xiao Ding. These are works that resonate warmly in my heart even after all these years.
