Hi! I draw fanart & OC stuff | They/them | Character design enthusiast

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

「Phantasmagoria of the Beloved Ones」という創作百合に取り組んできました。 四部同人誌(三部漫画と一部番外編)と創作の世界についてアーティストブックを作りました。 とても意欲的で楽しかった。すごく大変でしたが、努力する価値があります。 オンラインで創作を出販するかもしれないけいど、イラストと物語を少し書き直したい!また、「東京暴動」と一緒に描きたい! 意欲的ですー!私は頑張ります! [ #百合 #GL #OC #うちの子 #currycheesecakeART #art #イラスト ]
