🩸💔The Bloody Bride💔🩸
#myart #art #digitalart #artsky

A bride in a white dress stands looking out a stone arch at a red moon while holding a bloodied knife. Her hands and hair are red with blood. The bottom of dress descends into a puddle of blood dripping off the steps.

Kajo would definitely choose invisibility. They can use a magical shroud make themself unobtrusive to mortals and thus blend in without being noticed, but invisibility would just make matters easier. Cut out the middle man, as it were.

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:

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.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

One of the wildest parts of the Luigi story is that he didn’t actually do it lol

We’ve been saying that since day one

BREAKING: During Karen Friedman's cross-examination, Officer Wasser testified that she and Officer Fox pulled over on the way to the precinct so he could transfer the McDonald's bag containing evidence into her car while both of their body-worn cameras were off. She also testified she didn't turn her camera on until she arrived at the precinct, where she opened the backpack and found the firearm.

Simple black and white line illustration of GalacticJonah's dnd character Saint Ophir. A pretty, muscular man with very long blond hair is looking over his shoulder. He's propped up on his elbow in bed, covered in sheets from the waist downward but otherwise nude.

An illustration of an elven woman in all white, surrounded by black sphinxes with women's faces coming out of lion mouthes. The only color is bright red accents of her jewelry, crown, and the sphinx eyes.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
