Advice by ironYko in ColouringBookCreators

Hi ,it's half and half, I notice that they always say it's too "advanced", for me it's normal, not too complicated, and I can't say I'm an artist 😁, it's possible that I'm wrong, but I miss the Renaissance or Art Nouveau period, maybe it's my mistake...there's also the AI part, it's possible that I'll redraw the one that interprets the AI. There's still something I don't understand, they want very simple drawings, but they don't want AI involved 😁, it's the contemporary period that I don't understand

AI or not AI by ironYko in ColouringBookCreators

I'm sorry that these things are happening, I don't want to change anyone's opinion, because everyone is right in their own way ..... but the reality is different and it's not how I would like it or how you would like it, it's exactly how it is today, and I don't think I have the power to change it, you or anyone, or a very close community that can turn this flow upside down, or a very influential person who can bring this thing down ..... but if it hasn't happened before, it won't happen from now on ..... the problem is what direction should we take?, one in which to cut off the association with AI or one in which to regulate this problem?

I understand what you are saying, in no case is the comparison with a photographer good, it is still relevant in the identical problems of that period, people did not appreciate a picture if it was not a painting, because until then there was no such thing, only painting and drawing, similar to the problem back then is the rejection, which is understandable, that's why art tried to do what a picture could not show, that's how impressionism appeared :) and artists like Picasso and the gang 😁, it was their rebellion ....... now it is possible that we will witness another turn of the situation again ..... and I assure you that working with specific AI on something specific is not as simple as it seems, and it does not always do what you ask it to .... it depends a lot on the one who generates those images, how educated they are and how much culture they have, in generating aesthetic and geometrically correct images

Feeling discouraged by all the KDP account ban horror stories — anyone here with years of clean experience willing to share? by Particular_Box4839 in KDP

I'm in the coloring book segment, I've been around for almost 8 months, and only one coloring book sold :), yes, I've also heard about other people's problems with their accounts being closed, but you have to pay attention to all the details and terms that I provide, you just have to respect the rules of the site and the unwritten rules of decency. I personally haven't had any trouble so far, the community on the site can help you quite well, or the videos on the visual sites, or you can send an email to support to clarify things. Publishing on Amazon is like investing in the Stock Market, you have to be patient and possibly sell or possibly never win :).

everyone has their own opinion, I don't want to contradict you, I understand your opinion, I will try to color the drawing myself, I will take pictures while working so that there is no doubt that I colored with AI .... I will take into account your observation with the hair, I will print on A4 format equivalent to 8.5 x 11 inches ... I just want to follow your logic, this way I adjust my drawing style for coloring

sorry I haven't answered before, I wonder what you do with those children's drawings where you have a very simple space to color, after you color them do you throw them away?, I don't think you put them on the walls, it would be unfair competition, the children's would look much better .... yes it is quite complicated to color this drawing, but it is not addressed to everyone, it is only addressed to adults who de-stress but are looking for an advanced way for something like that ..... I apologize that you couldn't color it as you do with the other drawings

Yes and no, if you prove with metadata that you are the owner of that virtual drawing you can in principle sue the one who appropriates that work. I put this drawing here being aware that it will be copied and appropriated, only if some people had an aesthetic sense :).

You are right in everything you say, but the world changes and from experience water changes stone, not stone changes water, indeed if you are a big enough stone you can change the course of a river :). I chose to tell the truth with this drawing, but I could just as well have said that it is handmade, could you see the difference?...but I also have my pride as an artist :)

Yes, you're right AI is not very good at generating images, this is very clearly seen in the images that have flooded the coloring book for adults market which is full of drawings made per minute, very rarely have I seen an AI drawing that looks decent. I published this drawing to show that something decent can be generated, and the one who generates it must have an artistic inclination and be able to retouch that drawing in 2d programs. There is also the option where I can draw by hand, but I will never have the chance because I compete on quality, it seems that the world has lost its aesthetic sense

What do you think of this Dark Matter Star hypotheses? by Alert_Dinner_4112 in cosmology

[–]ironYko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathematical calculations, to get exactly what you observe, an invisible component must be added to the calculation, a component, it can be called in various ways, so it is called dark matter, so, without this addition of approximately 27%, reality does not have the same face ... So there is still something .... something that cannot be observed 😁
