How to animate feet and knees (by Ju Neng Binggui @2kgjnbg)

Happy Werewolf Wednesday! Another practice piece from last weretober 🐺🍃

do NOT get me started on why anatomical "correctness" has very little relevance in character illustration... 😐

Quick little study trying out Clip Studio for the first time

random :P yeahh ...

puppy eyes study… #wip #homelander

SHE'S THE BOMB DEVIL 💥

I was commissioned to create a poster for No Other Choice, the new film by legendary director, Park Chan-wook. @noother_choice @neonrated

I think I got better at painting thinning hair

Vei meu cérebro explodiu

I remember seeing a post about how normalized AI in advertisements making the company look cheap will mean real art will start becoming the standard for brands to seem more luxurious and it's really happening

@DaveRapoza This is truly fascinating and something I do believe in. I’m glad you put it into a tweet so I can explain it better myself.

I more feel for creatives using it because they see it as a means to fully express some better version of their vision without understanding how they are undervaluing themselves as an individual - the inherent insecurity there is a bit heartbreaking to see, your “flaws” make you you, the closer you get to “perfection” sometimes means a general agreed upon coherence of whatever “perfect” means at a technical level(once you’re in the weeds academically), but your lack of a certain skill can sometimes set you apart, or your lack of work experience within certain fields can be what makes your work look fresh

to the ai panic - people without creative experience and with generic ideas exist and have always existed with massive teams, their output still fails, even without ai, the flashy look and high production value just doesn’t matter And the people who are truly creative and do leverage ai to get a foothold will likely realize its limitations once they begin to grasp the value of the creative process, they’ll probably find that it’s better to have human flaws and work within your means than create AAA looking work that rings hollow given the sheer amount of contemporaries using the same means of output - I also wanted to be an amazing artist right when I started, I wanted to stand out and be great right away, but being humbled through the work and failure was the true desire I ended up chasing Either way, we’ll all be ok

@ChessBrabo @Leviarg7 Fora que é impossível ficar no tom FFFFFF já que é uma pintura tradicional.

@Leviarg7 gente não é porque a cor não é #FFFFFF quando você clica com o conta gotas que não é branco

Como explicar para uma pessoa não artista que não tem cor Branca nessa pintura

@shoomlah So from the depths of my heart and with my full two decades of lived experiences doing this for a living: fuck generative ai. Fuck GenAI in moodboards. Fuck GenAI in concepts and in placeholders, and in the mouths of middle managers and the hands of hacks who’ve given up.

@shoomlah No model could spit out Mickey based on a diet of Windsor McKay, real mice, and the life and experiences of young Walt Disney. You just don’t arrive at actual designs of strength and potency by averaging out work that’s already been made. You MAKE. NEW. WORK.

@shoomlah A great professor taught me early on that the fight for the illustration is fought in the thumbnails, and the rest is just rendering. The first pen strokes- the balance of light and dark, the scale of the figure. Before a leaf is on a tree, the story is told (Art by Hans Bacher)

when you let ai tell you what a Turkey looks like: YOU DISCOVER NOTHING. You learn what an averaging algorithm thinks you want to see. You learn what a slurry of Turkey search results looks when smeared into one another. It is calculated to look convincing, but it teaches nothing

I have to add my voice to the chorus: there is nothing more insulting, disempowering, or a surer sign that you’re working with hacks (& there are many, wedged into middle management in AAA) than receiving an AI moodboard as a concept artist, and I need to talk about it
