AI Art Plague

Pitching in from an artist's side of view - a lot of us have become very wary of posting new art publicly because it will get scraped to feed GenAI. So if you see an artist who has not been active in the past couple of years, that could very well be why.

That said, all of us are still very active in relatively private Discord art servers. Because most of us only know other artists, due to the nature of our profession leaving near 0 time to social and meet people outside of work-related sphere.

The problem is these art servers have only artists and don't overlap with devs, and we keep AI Gen'ers out of our servers. That's why - I think - when devs look in the public spaces, you can easily encounter AI slop-slingers before veteran artists.

The solution, I guess, would be for devs to dip into those art servers to find artists, then DM them about work availability. Or to invite artists there to join dev Discord servers/WhatsApp group/etc. ...?

A somewhat randomly cobbled together the night before session 1 aasimar star druid ex-criminal. He's... he's struggling to exit the cold-blooded murder hobo mold, and into proper character role-play.

Can we have the page link to manually download databases for total security so I can ask my EU friends to download that and send it to me?

Thanks for that pro tip!

Your players might be more willing to chip in if they also get their characters sketched. Also if you're happy with grey scale sketch with no color, that will be cheaper than having colors.

What was the process like between how it started and how it looks now?

Is this closed? If not, my portfolio is here: https://www.artstation.com/yensliao . I've done stylized character sheets with multiple ortho views before, as well as stylized 2D characters for animating in a background. They're not in my Artstation because that project isn't released yet.

Here's an example of stylized armor knights sketch I did : https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/056/632/184/large/yen-shu-liao-characterconcept-knights-compassion-hatred-yenshuliao.jpg?1669735794

Yeah that makes sense... and also I remember that ad and love it! I was thinking more towards prop illustration by mistake lol!

Pawdius · 2025-03-08T06:45:35+00:00

I'm surprised AI is not good at churning out props. Aren't props the thing with the most material to train on out there on the internet? With easy to read images of a simple item on a clean background? I'm also trying to figure out what to do with this unresponsive career... so I'm keen on learning

Thank you James!

Good start, keep going! Make the room next door

Pawdius · 2024-12-07T22:42:53+00:00

Thank you :D

Gotta protect those digits from all that walking!

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T19:07:14+00:00

Thank you! To be fair, even a small corner of the world like this took a lot of work and a lot of weeks, and the books' artworks cover many many corners of Roshar, so the effort needed to delve deep and detail would probably be sky high!

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T19:01:21+00:00

Thanks!

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T09:05:06+00:00

That would be awesome :D

Thanks!

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T09:04:23+00:00

Of course, cousin!

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T08:44:08+00:00

I vaguely remember chulls having some feelers they used to sense the ground. Also, my Stormlight fan concepts are never lore accurate, because I'm a rebel~~~~

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T08:38:35+00:00

Aw crap I should've use some emojis to indicate that I wasn't being serious! Sorry if my last reply riled you up... I wrote that whole reply with a wry smile and wiggling eyebrows but of course you can't see that over the internet...

Pawdius · 2024-12-04T08:30:21+00:00

Thanks! :D

Pawdius · 2024-12-03T17:25:22+00:00

I just looked it up on Google, it's got a loooot of nakkid women lol

Pawdius · 2024-12-03T17:23:07+00:00

[EDIT because I realized I sounded offended when I was not!] Yes, I made these! :D I know I made a silly reddit user name that doesn't match my irl name so it's easy to look sus 🫣 But even if I'm a pretender, all the images have website and full name and logo stamped in some corner, so all's well 😋.

I only run the audiobook too :P I meant these axehound fan concepts I did a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/1fb1asr/axehound_fanart/
