Hey everyone, I’ve just signed up to the site and found this repost of my work, it’s great to see that people enjoyed it and I welcome the cynicism about AI. They aren’t marked as AI in dA because I do the upload stage on iOS, using the app, and it doesn’t include that parameter.
I make these images using DalleE3 exclusively, so it’s basically just a prompt. Until recently the main thing that stopped me from doing size art was time. I work hard, and value my relationship too much to commit hours and hours to learning the digital art tools and making these images - it just wouldn’t be fair to my partner.
However I’m not short on interesting ideas, so over the years I’ve anonymously commissioned a lot of work from artists I’ve found in dA, and these have been shared widely around the community.
So while it’s true that this isn’t really my work, I stand by the ideas that I’ve brought to life. Many of these ideas feel distinct to me even if the algorithms are trained on the hard work of others. For example, I haven’t seen anybody else draw a close-up of a SW stood on her own paperwork, and it tells an interesting story. It’s satisfying a need I have to see these images that I haven’t seen elsewhere,
Ultimately, I do this for the dopamine, and wasn’t sure whether to share it or keep it private. I’m sure that others see AI as clogging up their feeds, but I love knowing that other people enjoy what I do, and i truly believe that a lot of this work stands up for itself, even if it’s standing on the shoulders of giants.
