Real references are very important because if you start using the ai trash and what it regurgitates you are not learning anything. The real references have a way of being, their elements make sense, their colours are natural... You can't have anything of this with ai refs.
Shocked to see some artists saying that using ai slop as reference is ok. It's really fucking not. Not only are you still using the mashed-up uncredited work of the rest of us artists, but it degrades your whole visual library because it hallucinates. If you do this I do not respect you
When will companies understand that we don't want to see skin pores, but live through an experience in every style that leaves us with something to look back to with awe

Dragging my ocs through years and years, missed drawing Noreela going through rituals with her lucky coin scrooge style✌️
Noreela's fit HAD to be redesigned, I also love doing redraws🫶 #originalcharacter #characterdesign #oc #dnd

Another still life, this time featuring pelargoniums, a wooden lizard and a wooden bird with a long beak, poppy seedheads and autumn colours in the leaves outside the studio window. That old earthenware pot with twisty handles is a favourite. Oil on gessoed board, 2019. #oilpainting #stilllife
Reminder here’s some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBE….

SPECTRE: THERE WILL BE BLOOD A birthday present for @splitmantra.bsky.social and a redraw of the very first thing I drew for him 2 years ago! [ #OC #OCsky #OCart #Spidersona #SuperiorInvasion #Fanart ]
Every time I come across another Italian artist on this app with big follower numbers and a lot of interaction, I feel so happy for them! I really can't keep up with what the algorythm demands, and my brain changes from one fandom to the other in regards on what I wanna draw🦗
Could work more on this but I'm deciding to leave it as it is to get to other projects, anyways band!AU Eds👏 #oc #originalcharacter
