I’ve been inspired to do more art that’s just ok because of souless AI

A watercolor I did recently

Thank you. Here’s another I did.

An alien religious icon

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

These are great pieces, thanks for sharing. I encourage you to make more. Real human made art is a hot commodity!

[-] WhatsTheHoldup@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

If art is simply a "commodity" then machines could make it cheaper.

I don't think art is just a "commodity". I don't think it's value is simply in being traded and sold.

[-] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Good point! The word commodity isn't the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that 'I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist's attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the "generated" art possible.'

please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.

!artshare@lemmy.world is a lovely community I look at a lot where I'm sure it would be appreciated too.

I really like this one! It speaks to me and I'm getting a lot out of it. I see reflections of self, of chaos surrounding it, of the divine nature of being.

These are cool.

Do you have a place where you upload your stuff to? If you do, with your permission, I'd like to add it to my can library of fresh wallpapers, so it would show up in my laptop and phone background when a new one gets uploaded.

It's this project: https://www.amazingdomain.net/

Note that the Android app can't be downloaded right now, but I have my own test version.

[-] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I don’t. I mostly just show my stuff to friends. I only recently started using watercolors. What is a good place to start uploading?

I also need to get better scans these are just photos with my phone and bad lighting.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I've seen people putting up things in all sort of places so I'm not positioned to make a choice for you.

You could do a separate Instagram/tik-tok etc account or even personal one.

Or imgur/mastodon account, or a social service you don't currently use.

Or a new sub in your favorite Lemmy instance. And many more ways to do it.

[-] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

A lot of my drawings end up being screaming people. My friends call it thw screaming man face.

I remembered I have a Pixelfed. @5in1K. I’ll get the stuff I’ve done that I don’t hate on there.

Here’s a sketch I did recently until then.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

A lot of people feel like screaming lately I'm sure, lots of extreme events going on.

Anyways, I never heard of pixelfed and tried looking up your account, but I think it forced me to login so not sure if I'll create an account.

I think that is the way to go anyway. Time is a circle, which means after the ai trend hits its peak, people will want genuine art.

This is the time to practice and share with like minded people to hone your skills so you are ready when you needed.

BTW there is a artshare community. Post your stuff there.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

heck yes, great space art!

[-] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Thank you. All the bright colors and metallics are paints that I made myself.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

As someone who is into fountain pens and fountain pen inks... I can definitely respect that.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 57 points 1 month ago

There is something especially charming about genuine amateur art.

When you can tell exactly what they intended to depict, but couldn't quite get there skill-wise adds something to the piece as a whole.

I love when people want to express some idea they had, so much that they're willing to put themselves out there, even though they know that the final work is not as good as it could be. To say nothing of the separate joy of following an artist and watching their work improve with time.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh yes you can have an amazing original idea, but lack the skills or the time to make it a timeless art work. A piece of the artist's soul is in there since the first doodle, and it's a privilege to get to peek at it.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

We've been doing it a long time (this one's at least 40,000 years old):

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

It's like a perfect opposite of slop from the garbage dispenser we made to murder truth with.

Like, you can sort of know a person through it, reverse engineer relationships between ideas that existed in the artist's mind, even if it sucks.

The slop is usually blandly pretty and barowue as fuck, and it's way easier to add tits, but...

[-] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sometimes the skill is drawing something that looks low effor but it's actually complex. Like these pilotredsun animation. Dude actually uses paint and photoshop and he gets some surreal results that are impossible to replicate.

[-] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 month ago

Dude. People are playing solo D&D with goddamn AI.

Fucking depressed the hell out of my night, so I had to scream it into some void.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 11 points 1 month ago

Some expect this to results in a return of the third place. As the internet will get filled up with bots and slop, every movie is heavily written and produced with AI, people will look for something more genuine and go back to just hanging out offline.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Lack of third place is more of a carbrained North America issue than AI slop issue

[-] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hey now, it can be both.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago
[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

This implies people will avoid AI

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 4 points 1 month ago

I think it's called slop fatigue. After a time, many people get tired of the low quality stuff and look for something better, but the easy to make slop drowns out the good stuff. Of course there will be a part of the audience watching whatever.

[-] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

That is, if they stay accessible and affordable for everyone. Would be lovely

[-] DonPiano@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

Of course it would be D&D. Playing something more interesting would require commitment to a perspective.

Paranoia would be more thematically appropriate, of course.

[-] SoleInvictus 1 points 1 month ago

Fuuuck. I'm so sorry you had to see that.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

this right here is why i love punk. so many punk bands with shitty technique, but damn if they don't tend to leave it all onstage

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

blink-182 have always been the lousiest performers (minus travis obviously) yet they still sell out arenas because they bring a good time with good laughs. and i dont care they arent "punk enough" inb4 anyone says that

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

"not punk enough" people don't get that music genres are pretty artificial and there have always been bands that straddle genres. doesn't make them any less of either.

or they are just looking for an excuse to complain. complaining's fun, i get it.

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

My short stories may not be amazing, but at least I wrote them.

[-] faercol 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah. i absolutely suck at art. I don't have the imagination, the skills, nor the perseverance to do it.

But using "AI" to do that? It would make me feel even worse because I wouldn't even make anything

[-] jawa22 7 points 1 month ago

I feel this. I'm making a shitty web comic, but at least I care.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

would you mind linking me your webcomic? i love webcomics and bet i'd love yours

[-] jawa22 4 points 1 month ago
[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

did you draw page 4 yourself or drop a picture in an ascii art converter because either way that's gorgeous

[-] jawa22 3 points 1 month ago

I used Unreal to make a render, then the converter

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

thank you! i'll be diving into it either tonight or tomorrow.

Factual tho
