// Moth’s Commissions //

Hi I’m Moth, I’m a 26 year old disabled trans man trying to manage my life and have enough of an income to survive in the UK. But due to how expensive things are and how rough life is at the moment in without outside support and trying to earn a living to support myself. I would really appreciate the help and even if you can’t afford sharing means the world.

DM me if interested, please reblog and share or if you want to support me anyways: K*-fi - P*ypal

i don't think spending more time on something on its own inherently makes that thing any better. because i'm not protestant

[calware]

i sometimes see videos of digital artists being like "here's a tip on how to draw x thing faster!" and it's like, tracing over stock images or free 3D assets from the clip studio store. and the comments are filled with people saying "no that's cheating!!" can we be so real with ourselves for just one second. how is this cheating. it's not a competition. nobody is getting an award. i don't care if Samantha the digital artist traced a png of a chessboard instead of freehanding it—i see no reason for her to work harder arbitrarily for the same exact outcome

There is a pretty good practical reason for this,too: AI is EXTREMELY unreliable. There is a post here by an art director that decided to treat AI promoters like actual artists for hire. What happened was that the prompters couldn't deliver. They didn't have the eye for it, nor could they make minor changes without creating entirely new images. AI is, to put it crudely, shooting your shot once. You can't break it into parts because it doesn't work that way.

This machine kills AI

[stressed-overdressed]

[Image ID: a facebook post made in a group called "Artists Against Generative AI" by Danielle Sanfilipopo. There's an image of a pencil labelled "this machine kills AI". The post reads

"I'm an art director and supervisor for a large studio. The studio heads had the bright idea before I started to hire prompters. Several bros were brought onto the film project. I absolutely hated myself for not quitting on the spot but stuck with it because it's mercenary out here. I have a family to feed etc. I decided to use this time wisely. Treat them as I would any artist I had hired. First round of pictures of a sweeping Ariel forest landscape comes through and it's not bad. They submit a ton of work and one or two of the 40 are ok. Nearly on brief. So fast around feedback goes through and I tell them about the perspective mistakes, colour changes I want, layers that any matte painting would be split into. Within a day I get 5 variants. Not changes to the ones I wanted but variations. Again. Benefit of the doubt I give them another round of feedback making it clear. Next day it's worse. I sit there and patiently paint over, even explaining the steps I would take as a painter. They don't do it, anomalies start appearing when I say I want to keep the exact image but with changes. They can't. They simply don't have the eye to see the basic mistakes so the Ai starts to over compensate. We get people starting to appear in the images. These are obviously holiday snaps.

"Remove the people"

"What would you like them changed to?"

"... grass. I just don't want them there"

They can't do it. The one that can actually use photoshop hasn't developed the eye to see his mistakes, ends up getting angry at me for not understanding he can't make specific changes. The girl whose background was a little photography has given me 40 progressively worse images with wilder mistakes every time. This is 4 days into the project. I'm both pissed about the waste, but elated seeing ai fall at the first hurdle. It's not even that the images are unusable, the people making them have no eye for what's wrong, no thicker skin for constructive criticism and feedback, no basic artistic training in perspective and functionality in what they're making.

Yes the hype is going to pump more money into this. They won't go anywhere for a while. But this has been such a glowing perfect moment of watching the fundamental part fail in the face of the most simple tasks. All were fired and the company no longer accepts Ai prompters as applicants. Your training as an artist will always be the most important part of this process and it is invaluable. I hope this post gives you a boost in a dark time."
