🩰 Ballet Morning
Original
My friend Truhania offered an idea to use the AI tools to enhance a drawing of his character Sebby, as a fun experiment to explore the potential of these technologies :3
The original artwork was fully made by @phantomstudio_tommy and was approved for modification by the artist.
In the end, I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of altering an artist's unique style with AI, but I thought this experiment was interesting just to see how the AI tools could transform the artwork ^^
What do you think? 😄

That's... wow. I don't know how I feel about it effectively removing the barriers for entry to calling oneself an "artist". The only one left is valuing human work more. You've proven over and over again that you know how to sketch a line or two, so I don't view this as anything other than a new tool...
It's like, being able to draw really well automatically helps bump up your storytelling ability a bit because it makes you conscious of details and when something isn't working. You also appreciate it because you appreciate how hard drawing is - I don't think any serious writer or artist is delusional enough to think the other is easier. Now take someone who never had to learn anything more than telling a computer what to draw and write... it's not even the argument over tablets and digital art, this is "creation" where you don't really know or have much input on what the final result is. I have zero interest in consuming anything that person "creates" because it's all dogshit. I'd much rather read something poorly written by a really good artist than an AI.
