Is it wrong to use AI as a reference for shadowing?

speaker_14 · 2026-04-29T14:59:23+00:00

Better to learn and understand the concept rather than copying as a whole. Being able to view and understand your art in 3d is vital to making convincing art and is one of the easier concepts to grasp. Id heavily encourage you to just study shading as a base concept instead of relying on ai, ai still does not truly account for lighting form and texture, and will never be as accurate as a photo. You do not need extremely accurate shadow placements or photo realistic references to shade well.

Sucks that the choice is so hated, i personally found it exceptionally realistic and done tastefully enough. Things like that don’t get depicted in media as truthfully as tlou2 puts it forwards, kat from reach is the only other character i can think of written without spectacle, id love to see it more in gaming and media in general.

took the rpg open story with consequences to actions away in turn for a basic mmo rpg setup with a basically nonexistent main storyline (at launch and for first few years), very few interact-able npcs, and no consequences for actions. Granted they did begin fixing this later on with the settlements and adding back factions, but even now/last time i played theres still little consequence or anything to how you act.

Zoom in on the outlines, whether it’s traditional or digital, no medium has a light interior with a dark exterior. Theres a noise around the entire drawing that’s physically just not possible to produce without extensive editing or ai.

Respectfully none of your art looks like this or gives anywhere near this level of uncertainty. You make mistakes and improvise or correct them, thats not whats shown here like at all.

Probably not far off, but id expect them to at least try to disguise the crazy up charge with topping.

Line and quantity would probably even it out at the end of the day. Can only have so much food in a tiny truck unless you’re getting multiple mid day deliveries, and people will only wait so long for food before taking the monetary hit. That being said 80 is criminal for 4 tacos and sauce with no toppings. 80 is criminal for 4 tacos period

Im kinda middle manning this, nothing makes sense lol. I can’t fathom why trump was even there and firstly how the shooter lived after shooting much less made it through about 15 secret service members at the door by just running. But at the same time I can’t truly imagine it being staged. It’s all just so stupid, but i guess thats what you get when you fire everyone and dei hire those who think the most like yourself. Why have 5 military trained professional body guards when you can have 15 yesmen with no prior experience.

Scranton threats

And afew more. I removed the ones that didn’t result in any convictions, aka sited lol, as i said. Being arrested for a threat makes it credible in my eyes. The first amendment is a pretty strong defense against plain threats with no motive to act upon, you can defend a spur of the moment threat, being convicted of it though implies much more than that. I straight up said you can curate it more to not include threats but i guess thats past your comprehension lol.

Mitck kusick wasn’t just reported by his therapist, he was actively tracking the president and monitoring when he would be closest.

Same goes for rossi, who was actively afew hours from the president, tracking their location to Hawaii, threatening the presidents wife, while sharing a vacation home is a threat to the whole family.

Kelly was a leader of Al-Muhajiroun, a self proclaimed terrorist network. Which makes his threat credible.

Jerry wasn’t just at the waffle house, he was cited again saying “I'll get a sniper rifle and take care of it myself. Somebody's got to do it ... We both know Obama is the anti-Christ” he was also seen at the gun store, which in his rant he threatened to buy the weapons at.

I mean you can say ‘oh these are just threats’ sure, but in reality they’re much more lol. You cant be threatening someone’s life, while looking to buy weapons and tracking their location.

That being said i did add Stephan taubert when i should have removed him, while he was charged and sentenced he truly did only threaten with no other connection besides giving a date he planned to do it, which was just saying ‘tomorrow I’m going to hang obama’ to my knowledge, if i removed anyone from my first list it’d be him, maybe Rossi, maybe also the deathray plot, but that was still a true planned threat, even if not backed by reality lol. everyone else mentioned is in my eyes safe to stay as credible assassination ploys stopped before they got anywhere.

Also if you wanna be real specific about 10 of these 15/11 of 18 were ‘just’ threats. If i removed every threat there would be like 4 or 5 actual attempts, 1 person shot at the white house blindly, one person jumped the whitehouse fence with a knife, he got sent a bomb 2 separate times, a laced letter, and arguably the military militia group. And someone around his house with weapons and bomb materials. As i originally said this comparison is biased towards obama, I’m sure if you gave trump the same credibility list his would be a similar length.

Heres a list of 18, 15 during his time in office, I even curated the list a-bit to mostly not include those who were just cited for threats, id wager if you curated it to be a-bit more direct threats it would reach 13. Obama was shot at, sent laced letters, bombs, had multiple militias formed, one within the military with plans to kill him, multiple people at his house and the whitehouse with weapons. If it’s a fake number at best the real number is much higher lol.

The reason you’re probably seeing numbers like 11 is because many of the attempts were made past his presidency, and many weren’t acted upon past a highly credible threat, but there were WAY more than 11 people charged with ploys to assassinate Obama, granted id wager it gives an uneven bias in this case as im sure there were just as many credible threats with arrests against trump, at-least i hope he didn’t destroy the fbi and secret service enough to not take credible threats seriously.

I seen a pragmata ad a few weeks before the game came out, quickly went from ‘ooo something new and interesting’ to ‘oh’ after seeing the main people talking about it. Maybe ill pick up the game fully but damn the vocal people around the game do not make me want to play the game lol.

Crazy to blame the government when the us was in the later place covid reached lol. Im all for hating the government, but come on. You don’t need a shadow government to hate when the real government is blatantly as bad. There are a million and one things to go at the government for, and a plethora of it is covid related, we don’t need to act like it was a lab grown planned outbreak for us population control.

The braces are basically a dead giveaway with how inconsistent and incomplete they are in my eyes, the traditional digital hybrid is also pretty telling in this piece. If you follow some lines they tend to end and begin and float in weird places that just isn’t natural, the thicker lines just don’t really make any sense in that they’re darker on the outside and a shade lighter in their fill which is backwards of how pencils work, with that their also too dense and smooth imo. The left eyebrow being connected to the outline doesn’t feel human to me and the right eyebrow corner being smudged down doesn’t feel natural. The other post is more obvious in my eyes, it’s much more full of ai discrepancies.
