The cover for Transformers: ReAnimated Issue 83 was inspired by the cover for House of Mystery 265 by Michael Kaluta. Read how this all came together in today's post at: https://t.co/q2SMQfqHjK

@Ultra_Marginal Oh yes. I’d love to do other things too. I haven’t exactly pushed to do more transformers art since the license shifted to Skybound, so that’s partially on me.
But in this case there was something particularly appealing about doing a very toy-detailed piece to be packed in w/it.
@Ultra_Marginal I’m not against software. I use procreate. Musicians use pro-tools. I don’t know the extent of what you do as an engineer but it sounds like you are designing and creating something purposeful and meaningful and that sounds way more like art to me than an ai image.
One thing from the comments in my “ai isn’t art” post that I’d like to address is the idea that I’m “gatekeeping”
That couldn’t be farther from the truth. I hope any person who has a desire to create art follows that drive and finds joy in the process.

@TheGreatErenan I’m not sure what you mean by “professional art world” but most professional artists I know would STRONGLY disagree.
If you mean the big businesses that salivate over the idea of using ai to create images rather than hire a legitimate artist, I don’t give that any credence.
@TheGreatErenan I think I defined my position pretty clearly, Luke.
You don’t have to believe it, but nothing I’ve said is wrong. Everything in the “last 100 years of art history” fits the definition of art, whereas ai images do not. 🤷♂️
I’m sorry. I truly am. I’m not making the rules. I’m just stating the truth. I’m not gatekeeping the art world. I want everyone to make art.
Do what makes you happy. But ai images are not art. And feeding your ideas into a machine does not make you an artist.

When you feed your ideas into a machine it is spitting out something using only that which already exists. Nothing new. There is no heart or soul. No sparks of enlightenment. No true CREATION. Just regurgitation.
You used a machine to create an image. That image is not ART.
