"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.
Make stuff. For the love of all that there is, please just keep making stuff! Doesn't matter if it's bad, good etc. Just *keep* making stuff.
No I won't because I want to be hopeful unlike some of yall because we should still hope for artists and film-makers to make stuff now when the world is at nowadays
Give up on media now
If you love art in any form or consider yourself to be an artist or creative person, then you should be firmly against generative AI slop. Do not throw away your talent or throw other creative people under the bus because you want a shortcut. AI is the antithesis of art.
Wanted to do textures and stuff today but I got sick in the middle of the night so that's being held off. May as well post what I made at least. #OC #Blender #Robotgirl
Got the spark to try sketching out a low-poly version of Rene for a model. Honestly loving how it's turning out already with just the sketch. #OC #Sketch #Robotgirl
You can always make it better later The only supercomputer you can depend on is your own brain
Had to do something when I saw this. This here's the super-mysterious vigilante, the Zapslinger! (I can't draw hats) #Robotgirl #OCSky #RobotOC #Robot #OC
BRAZEN HEARTS
I noticed an issue with my last post so I made a quick fix. (Her ears were too high up) I also gave the background some color which I think made this ref look nicer as a whole. #OC #RobotGirl #Robot #RobotOC #OCSky #OriginalCharacter
I finally got around to updating Rene's design. Yeah it's 90% the same but I wanted to make small changes to her for a while. Spent way more time on the way the legs work than I thought lol. #Robotgirl #oc #ocsky #robot #robotoc #originalcharacter
I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.
Haven't used Blender in a hot minute. Decided to make something. Deltarune in 6 days. #Blender3D #Deltarune #UTDRFanart #3DArt
This is what every game developer sounds like right now.
Sega confirms and responds to generative AI content in the new Crazy Taxi. "Generative AI was used to support our teams during the development of background assets for Crazy Taxi: World Tour," Sega says. gameinformer.com/2026/06/07/s...
People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
No. Using GenAI for ANYTHING is wrong. Because GenAI's very concept and foundation is unethical and destructive.
Using AI for concept art is fine. It doesn't replace anyone and concept art gets scrapped anyway.
my art might be ass but at least i actually make it
Caved and got myself the new Tomodachi. Yeah I fully get the hype. Filling an island with ocs (yes I have more than just Rene) is just fun. Even though sometimes they do stuff the canon version won't do. Like that main character jumpscaring his best friend. But I can look past that and enjoy the fun
Wanted to get a little something out for Easter. So here's a (very) quick rough sketch of Rene in a bunny suit. One I was willing to draw her in, anyway. #RobotGirl #OC #Sketch
Mayonnaise is officially considered an instrument, according to research from Northumbria University. Scientists concluded it actually meets the scientific definition of an instrument.
