Integrating traditional digital art with AI. Hand sculpted digital character, painted/textured manually, rendered with #octane, and then used to drive AI video.

This is how I'm approaching character creation for my next film.

The limitations are still severe but getting better.

A favorite shot from a nearly completed short film created through digital painting, sculpting, and creating custom AI loras (small image models) to build a world.
