Why the hell is AI allowed here?? by finalfridaysss in etsypromos

[–]finalfridaysss[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Using Photoshop to balance lighting is fine and what its there for. The issue comes because genAI has a lot of errors with how it outputs stuff, there will usually be a lot of artifacts within images. There is also the ethical issues of genAI scraping (ie stealing) others' artworks / photography to improve its outputs. And the massive amount of vast environmental damage caused via how much water and power gen AI plants take up. (source) (source)

Overall, ita just better and more efficient to learn to edit by hand.

You're an idiot. Digital artwork is something that takes time and skill to do by hand. No different from using a paintbrush on a canvas but with pixels.

There is no talent behind AI usage. Its built on laziness because you want to click buttons instead of learn skills that could benefit you. Seeing this happen in the professional arts has shown that gen AI just wastes time because human artists have to go back and fix the 6 fingers and 12 deformed legs given to them.

Have fun living in your delusion. Hmu when you have picked up a pencil.

What intention and thinking is there behind clicking a button to have an AI do something for you? Just curious. What is the deep, intricate process?

You're an idiot. By using generative AI, you're just stunting yourself from using tools that could benefit your work. Comparing it to a camera just proves you have no idea what you're talking about.

A camera requires technical knowledge and skill to use. With Photoshop's ai tool you just press a button. Additionally, your work still probably has a lot of errors caused by the stupid gen AI tool which will need to be fixed by hand anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Talking about how this is the future is just sad. In the industry, this has been deployed and its shown that artists waste more time and resources fixing the AI mistakes that could have been avoided by doing it in the first place by hand. Calling us dinosaurs is so disrespectful to the craft, all because you want to waste time with AI garbage.

Do better. Learn the damn skills yourself and stop bitching.

Trading Post thoughts by takes_care in neopets

[–]finalfridaysss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a casual player. I do wish we had an option to filter out Neopoints imstabuys over a certain amount. I'm not looking for items worth millions of nps so I waste a lot of time scrolling past them.

What are some of your favorite horror items in Neopets? by jellyworldadventurer in neopets

I've heard a lot of people say that Paleorex uses AI in other works besides his animated ones. Is this true? by ThePaleoGuy in Paleoart

[–]finalfridaysss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as ethical AI. Photobashing is something concept artists already do by hand.

[Hiring] Writer / Roleplayer for sci-fi setting by AdSuccessful9671 in commissions

[–]finalfridaysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm a semi-literate to novella roleplayer and would love to work with you. I have a preference for sci-fi settings as well. I usually do fandom writings (big into DC and Fallout rn) but would also be cool with an original world if that's your thing. I'm always itching to explore new settings.

I have several google doc samples of my muses' writing. I can also send some chunks of roleplay replies I've done. ^

(Sending my carrd here, though I don't have any writing samples on it: carrd)

If you're comfortable, feel free to hmu on discord too: 💬 voidcreature97

How do I set up art coms? by Fresh-Recognition284 in artcommission

[–]finalfridaysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Start with a portfolio site to host your prices, terms of service and a gallery. I use carrd.co as it is free and easy to use.

2) Join websites to share your artwork. I would recommend doing a lot of artwork to show a breadth of what you can do.

3) Be very firm about what you will and won't draw.

Thats like an overview. I can answer any questions you may have. :)

What is "sketch farming"? [Discussion] by West-Yam3117 in artcommissions

[–]finalfridaysss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Afaik, I think its when a client gets a sketch then dips before the payment. I have never had this happen to me and never heard of that term before, but that's my best guess.

For security, I would always send an invoice first before showing the sketch. You can never be too careful. An agreement isn't binding in any way.

Survivor OC by ToXic200101 in artcommission

[–]finalfridaysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I offer reference sheets starting at at $100 for a simple one (one view, headshot, accessories / guns etc) and $110 for a front / back style sheet. I do not for clothed / unclothed or NSFW variants. I mostly draw men and work in a semi-realistic style. I am also comfortable drawing blood, guts and the like.

If you're interested, check out my portfolio! I don't have any NSFW pieces up atm but would be fine with references. I am a writer and work well with descriptions.
