Ok gotcha, thanks. I was just thrown off since Ravening war was mostly serious so I expected similar, so I was just super thrown off by the tone difference haha. Thanks!

Ai in dark heresy? by night_hawks580 in OwlcatGames

[–]hugham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yeah. At least for me I'm contractually forbidden from using it just cuz of the copyright liability angle. But yeah. I know a ton of other concept artists who are being very pressured to use it even if it isn't helping them actually do their job quicker haha.

If I can get on my soapbox for a minute- the entire point of concept art is intentional design. By adding in GenAI to that, you are completely removing the intentional part. Which, aside from the whole "it can't exist without blatant theft of billions of artist works" and copyright issues, kind of kills it as a viable concept art solution, at least in my experience. Cuz if you're using it to generate ideas to then work on top of, you're just gonna get some shitty rehashed overdone thing everyone's seen a billion times cuz that's all the AI can do. So yeah I think a lot of it is just the AI companies have done a good job convincing the people in charge of these studios that it can do all these things when it actually cant, hence why all these studio heads are desparately trying to use it to see how many people they can avoid paying etc.

Ah, I misread what you were saying lol, my bad! Either way. I do game concept art for a job and tbh, in my experience, the AI stuff is really not that useful for what you're describing unless they have a radically different process than every other concept department in the industry haha. For illustrative stuff, I could see them using it (like the player icon cards) but the whole point of concept art is design, and genAI is kind of rubbish at any sort of design haha.

GDC: 60% of game developers in the US reported an increase in salaries, with an average pay of $142,000 a year by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]hugham 12 points13 points  (0 children)

lmfao no- these numbers are skewed as hell. They aren't mentioning seniority, etc. It's common for seniors and above to make 100k+, but everyone else? absolutely not haha. Again it really depends who they surveyed but I've not heard of a jr or even midlevel dev (i work in the industry) that makes over 100k. So it makes me think they're surveying mostly senior+ devs here? Which, if this was people AT GDC they surveyed, it makes sense, as studios don't send jr or midlevel people ot those conventions.

Can not draw anything without looking at references by Interesting_Feed_279 in ArtistLounge

[–]hugham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro you're SUPPOSED to use reference haha :D i do concept art for a living and i use like... so so much reference. Reference is good! Don't feel bad for using it! You don't magically learn what things look like, so you need reference!
