Hey guys, I know there is already a thread on Ai art but I wanted to start my own since I actually use the services. I used to say I am an Ai-Artist, but I since changed it to reflect the reality of what it actually is. I now say I am an Ai-Designer.
But before we get into what I do, here is a word from today’s sponsor lol.
Real artists, traditional artists HATE Ai for the most part & I completely understand. I agree with them but & it’s a BIG BUTT.
So, I will say this, as an actual traditional artist (I write, draw, photograph & videograph) I understand why Artists Hate Ai. I always mention Midjourney in the tags & usually Ai as well. I hate when people use it as their own legitimate art they created on canvass, that is fraudulent. There have even been cases where they submitted Ai work in contests & they won. Not cool.
Now as for my use of Ai. I use Midjourney, I also have used NightCafe & Dall-e2 & they both suck in comparison to what I can design in Midjourney (MJ for short, going forward)
Most Ai artists are not traditional artists, they do not understand what are actually does. They don’t know how to invoke emotion or use emotion in their work. They don’t understand composition. Which is why their work always just ends up looking static & generic. Sure sometimes they look cool, but there is never life. It’s always a bust of a character or a standing pose of a character. If you go through the home feed of MJ all you will see is the same structure with different models & it’s boring AF.
Because of what happened to me at the hands of my employer, I cannot focus on drawing things anymore, I won’t get into what happened, but I am not capable of creating like I used to, pencil to paper or stylus to tablet. I became very depressed because I could not create. Then I discovered Ai art & I learned how I COULD express my artistic visions again & then some. I am also a writer, writing is an art in & of itself. When I understood how Prompts worked I figured out how to make art with it.
Most Ai artists just type prompts like “A cool Cat eating a Pickle. Style Salvador Dali” then they generate a cool looking picture of a cat with shades eating a pickle.
I create stories with my Designs. I will not give my secret recipe, sorry folks, but all I can say is that my pieces all have stories behind them. I use Midjourney as a visual representation of my writing, my stories.
My work is very much influenced by H.P Lovecraft & Cixin Liu (the Three Body Problem) What I will be doing is creating short stories either with me narrating them or just have text & have the pictures as the focal point. I already did one called “The War Beyond The Stars” it is a mix of Lovcraftian & Cixin, the first link is that video, then the others are shorts video as previews of future stories.
What do you guys think?
