Maybe I can paint over AI and check the results. The process is fun. In fact I showed some friends today some art I made with iterations and mods over early AI, that way it was more of a conversation with me and a machine. Thing is, I just enjoy too much doing lines with something in my hands, maybe I could take the renter iteration and create a third thing. i guess it could be a horses and hand collab
(Im teaching a pal to use gouache rn and its fun, join us join us c;)
I just think that given the emerging tools of image generation, if a traditional artist, eschewing a kneejerk response to the topic, were to put their mind into learning it thoroughly, could only improve their art, by exploring visions of what their art *almost* was/could have been/could still become.
I draw with pen and pencil and pixel art with mouse. Image generation gives me a huge boner. It is like a magic spell, it is just fucking fantastic!
This can only allow me to realize my visions more clearly, and I am glad to be able to examine my own ideas through a heretofore INACCESSIBLE method.
