It's been a while since I posted anything here but that doesn't mean I stopped doing art and I decided to share my thoughts on AI here.


So I was thinking about the impact of Ai overall and I won't get into what AI overall can mean to the world. Let's just say I think AI can greatly benefit humanity in the RIGHT hands.


Now, what do I think about AI art?

Well, I've been thinking about how to best explain it and I believe I found a way.


AI is like Frankenstein's monster. It's a soulless body stitched up together from various pieces of different human bodies. Sure it might look like a human but it didn't go through life studying, practicing and experiencing what every real human had gone through throughout his life. That growth and experiences are what develops your personality which is basically your soul!


Therefore, art has the soul of the artist and all of his life experiences, skill and knowledge he has accumulated throughout his life infused into it.


AI on the other hand has no soul, no skill and no admiration for art and therefore can not be considered art!


This might sound a bit too "philosophical" but I hope it gets the point across.


Edit: think about it this way: If you asked someone what is 1,658,462,241.653 x 5,493 / 86.2 and they gave you an accurate answer in an instant you'd be amazed that a human can do something like that right?

Now if you type that into a computer and the computer gives you the same accurate result in a click of a button would you be just as impressed? Probably not even close right?

Well that is the difference between human made art and AI made "art."

Think about that.

Hey everyone, been a while.

So I was thinking for quite a while about posting this but now I finally did. It just felt weird to me not sure why.
Anyway, I tend to get stuck on the creative side quite often which is why I mostly practice my sketches as you can see by my recent posts.
I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of anatomy and the technical side but on the creative side I tend to have a block not knowing what to draw.

So here is where I need your help.
I need you to give me ideas for sketches. It could be anything for now as I'm just gathering ideas and see what the people like. Maybe some fan art if you want :)
Now, I'm not gonna do every suggestion, maybe even not any of them, and I'm not gonna reply to all, sorry just don't have the time at the moment, but if I do choose your idea I'll post it here with your name in the comments as the idea provider.
It's mostly gonna be like fast really rough sketches and nothing too refined at first, but I might take it to a more refined stage if I feel like it.

Just remember I'm not a pro but I think that I'm pretty decent and I'll try my best.
You can also see what kind of stuff I do here and on my instagram and tumblr below.

You can post a comment with your idea or send me a note, whatever you prefer.
Ideas should be like character + pose + outfit (or no outfit ;)) etc. But don't feel limited and suggest whatever you like.

Thanks and hope you can help.

So I have a big PSD file were I do all of my sketches and I had a lot of sketches there but I needed to do a quick image to work in blender so I figured I'll just do it on that file, crop it save as and then undo the crop and exit without saving so I have the small image saved and the original big file untouched!

So when I finished with blender I opened the PSD in photoshop and found out I somehow accidentally saved over my ENTIRE FUCKING FILE!!!

Now I'm pretty good with computers and know photoshop pretty well too so I'm pretty sure I killed any possibility I have to recover that file! But if there is any one of you who reads this and have any idea if there is any way to recover it I would greatly appreciate it if you tell me!

I don't even remember how that happened! I was certain I clicked no when I was prompted to save over! :(

I just decided to go check out cghub today and saw that it was gone...
I had it bookmarked and I know it was working, but I still thought maybe I bookmarked wrong or something, so I went to google and it wasn't loading the site.
So I figured maybe something temporary right? I mean it's CGHUB we're talking about not some random freelance website right.

So I decided to check parkablogs for some art books ideas and saw this www.parkablogs.com/content/cgh…
How is that even possible??? That community was the most known community for professional artists out there.

Although I didn't visit it that often, because for me DA is the primary and most favorite site, I still can't believe they shut down.

Anyone knows what happened or why they shut down?

Wow! My message center lately is so packed it's kinda hard keeping up with all of it.
I'm watching like a ton of groups and artists here so it piles up really quickly.
But, I do love seeing all the awesome new art!

I just don't understand why I can't watch 120 deviations at once in the message center too...
It would make my daily message center review a whole lot easier.
I suggested it once but they said something that it will require a total overwork of the message center so it probably won't be soon. :(

Anyone else would like to see 120 in the message center too or is it just me?
