And here's Scorsese's storyboards for the final massacre in Taxi Driver

This applies more generally: people seem to think you need to have a background as a Big Two artist in order to do storyboards, but that's not what they're about - they're visual writing. You're writing for yourself AND others

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.
Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian 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: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ 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.

The way I used to draw all the characters put their hands in their backs or in their pockets and gave them side bangs to cover up one eye if one was bigger than the other lol. It's all a part of the process!

Sorry man but you gotta go through drawing your characters with their hands hidden in their pockets and wonky frieren looking up and weird foreshortening just like we all do. it'll be fine you just gotta hang in there!
