@projectshoto That looks so good on your setup. Soon Apex on that desk? 👀

It's time to talk about something. My artwork workflow. This is going to be a long one.
As some of you may know, I work with our in-house artist, and have for over 3-4 years. He has done all of the Kurosun , GLSSWRKS and tekkusai designs - even the logos. Yes, seriously, it's all the same guy.
Of course, Kurosun art has existed before the age of good generative AI , back in 2022. So it was always from idea straight to human drawing.
With GLSSWRKS, the workflow was always to use AI as reference, and then let the artist work for weeks or months until it feels just right. After our first release, which was really similar to the original AI reference, we decided to never keep them that close again. Our artist has taken more liberty to make their own version of each idea, making over 60 versions of each character, by hand.
My own tekkusai releases are much the same, the ideas start from a reference, and the artist then gets to work and stays in the loop with me, we work back and forth for a long time until it feels right.
So, some people have asked, what's the reason for working this way? Well, I think that artists are important. I highly value working with both my artists (one for artwork, and one for 3D visuals). Their taste matters to me. Our back and forth matters to me. Our friendship matters to me. The fact that they get paid matters to me, and that is something that will never change.
Every pixel from the artwork is drawn by a human, with only references being generative AI. This is the reason I have always said "AI hybrid, but there is a real artist that works hard and gets paid", because to me, that's the part that matters.
Apex took two months of work just on the art/3D visual side. It took even longer to develop this surface and coating.
If you're wondering why now, I think it's the right time to talk about it. Before anything else is sold. Before any rumors circulate.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and where they draw the line.
This is where I draw mine.
Much love to everyone,
tekk
