If I manage to get a table for October, should I make some where winds meet merch? hm

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@AiolosTTV YES PRAYGE

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

Time to apply for another year, I really hope they take me this year :') I was pretty depressed last year that I didn't manage to get a table, that I ended up just leaving this account for a while LOL. (also wwm has taken over my life)

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@RegiDomain Thank youuuuu

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@ginPTRN I don't!

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

Personally I am not sure where to stand on this; I can understand why genAI could be useful enough in conceptualizing (esp early genAI models that were more messy/less refined), but if you're a professional artist, how do you accept using tools that exploited your fellow artists?

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

Coming out of my cave for this; but you're missing the point you just made saying that the hate directed is ignorant. "We are against genAI trained on real artowork" The problem is that the model Larian used was also trained by exploiting artists even if it's only for concept art

[Valephore 🌙♦️ @ValephoreVT]

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

@AiolosTTV Haha, I wish that could be motivation enough...

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

How to find motivation to draw again?

A friend asked me today if I've drawn anything recently. Made me realize I have only scribbled for the past months. I don't know how to get my motivation back..

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@genUltra Sometimes, it's a blessing and sometimes, it's a bit overwhelming.

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

There's so many incredibly talented people in the world.

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@AiolosTTV HOW DO YOU COMMENT SO FAST

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

@AiolosTTV Yeah... I had even prepared a lot of things for the con... cause you can't like, rush it just at the last minute... but...

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]

I haven't drawn anything in a while. To be quite honest, after I didn't get into any con I applied to, it kind of demotivated me. I was really looking forward to meet people with similar interests and yap about the games I like and show people my work. It is life.

[ShaiDraws @ShaiDraws]
