This art made me cry. Because I’ve been struggling a lot in life these past years, and even though many things made me want to give up on art, I just love it so much. I love art so deeply. That’s why I cried.
Hi Jujucelium, I dont know what you've been trough in life. But, to me ART has helped me in many situations, believe me, I've been trough a lot. I was angry about AI, about wars, money, and so on. But I realized that ART is what connects people and makes people smile. Life can be really hard some times, but, with time, trust me, It gets better. Im doing what I love, I still got no money/reward for that, but, last week, my art made someone smile, that made me so happy, I just wish you to feel the same :D keep drawing and have fun 🙌 (I've been working on my art/manga for 14 years and I'm still a student. At the end of the day, the real value, the real work of an artist is to remind people that they have feelings, to make them smile, cry, laugh. What amazing job we have as artists, dont you think? Make It, even if its just for you, Im sure your ART will be aprecciated by someone) (Btw, Sorry for my poor grammar, english is not my mother linguage :P ) 🖼️🎨🖌️=❤️😆😭😁😎😝🥳
That usually means one has a lot of pain built up for a while. At least I get like that when I'm overwhelmed. I went to see Elemental and probably cried 20 times in the theater because my stress from everything in the past year was unbearable, I was able to experience great relief thanks to that work of art, that's why creative works are so important.
I love art very deeply too. it allows me to relate and bond with people who died before i was even born. also like pete seeger said: "All the arts, music, the visual arts, acting and dancing arts, cooking arts, and I believe sports, will save the human race because they can leap over barriers, religions, leap over barriers of race, politics."
I feel the same way, I always get such a strong urge to create something but I feel like I can never live up to my own expectations, it’s so frustrating :(
Right? It’s not only all that too. Art is a time consuming skill. Back then no one questioned the time to make a piece. Nowadays you have to be good, fast and perfect. And then I look at my life and I have to work full time on a random company that wants mor every time, when I get to have some free time I have a lot to do, people to care for. And I don’t ever see myself working on art. But if I’m not making art, life feels so meaningless. I hope we get to achieve our dreams! 💕
Don't get hopeless over ai "art". The fight has only begun. The people who made glaze (a program made to hide your art from ai) are actually in the process of developing one that POISONS ai art. Basically when someone types a prompt which uses your art, the ai "art" gets all fucked up and not what the art thief wanted at all
@@SovermanandVioboy Not to mention if they made it open source, that'd be giving people who want to figure out how to make a workaround everything they'd need to make a workaround.
@@DanknDerpyGamerthese attacks on image generating ais exploit their inherent vulnerabilities, which is the fact that they need to be trained on a lot of images and that they often get their training images by just scraping the internet without any care. Even if they make modifications to defend against certain attacks, the methods of attacking them can always be tweaked to be effective again. Plus, these ai models are basically a black box and we don’t know exactly how they “learn” so it will take much more work for ai engineers to figure out countermeasures. Also if enough artists are using Glaze or participating in attacks, then it can really mess up the results people get from the ai models, which reduces the overall enthusiasm and support of the ai models. Also glaze has not yet been effectively bypassed as of me writing this comment.
The program is not meant to be used to influence image generation platforms the already exist. It's not even meant to prevent them from existing. It was not designed to be used maliciously. It was designed to give artist's more power over their art and ownership of it, and protecting it from getting scraped and used in training new models.
WOW when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a digital drawing, how you handle traditional mediums is nothing short of magic. And the fact that you added chromatic aberration ON PAPER?? and it looks so convincing!! crazy
Awesome painting. This painting does everything that AI art can't do. It's very original and not derivative. It has interesting details that reward the viewer for looking at it longer. It has a lot of personality, and it's very you.
I love your art so much, it's beautiful and fun! I think AI art just makes me realize that I care about the human behind the art. That's why I enjoyed it more when humans made it and enjoyed it less when I found out if AI made it. Sure AI art getting better and better but I enjoy it less than human-made art even the one that is considered beginner-level. Thank you for your insight and the process video!
personally, I believe that AI ruins the meaning of art. art is beautiful because a person with so many creativiy made it through their hard work, and AI just has a final image without any emotions or thought behind it. also - love your art! your rendering is right on point! 👁️💬❤️
It depends on what the art is for. some people just love somehing pretty to look at. Like a wooden table made by a machine vs a wooden table by the master craftsman of japan with a hundred years of culture etc.
Let's be serious the art industry is about money laundering and the other more obvious forms of artistry are commodified and carefully crafted to make the people think a certain way. My concern is that when people lose art they are separating themselves from another form of humanity and human expression as well as the abstract thinking that comes from observation of human art.
i think of it like this - ikea took away carpentry, right? It's the AI version of furniture. But you don't see people ooh-ing and aah-ing over ikea furniture. They do that over handmade stuff. Hand-made stuff always trumps generic rubbish. Fast food never beat the restaurants either. Robotic welders never took fabricators jobs. If anything, its given more value to tradespeople because people are sick of mass produced, generic crap.
@@wolfinthewheatfields3224 Not always. Unless the “stuff” is done by a UNIQUE master of their craft or brand. We are not just talking about mass produced bad quality things. This is AI. Months ago it can barely draw hands, now it can so it pretty much perfectly. This is Ikea on steroids. Fast food that has the potential to surpass gordon ramsay with time.
I honestly was moved by your words and I can't help but thinking "why didn't I think of this at all?". Maybe because nowadays it'all about "how can I monetize this piece" that we tend to forget why we make art in the first place. With AI making such good pieces, having an inner meaning into our work is the key for unique artworks, without taking anything off from the aesthetic that is most pleasing to us. Thank you for sharing your thought and vulnerability, and of course, as usual, great work! I love her! ❤
I have been following you and your instagram for 5 years now and I love how I have seen you grown both in your art and yourself! I hope you feel better soon and I love how the illustration came out!
Holy hell, Chris!! This is BEYOND amazing, a truly stunning piece😍😍 Really gives "I'm sick of this shit, time to fight back with kindness" kinda like kill them with kindness vibes, love it, really hope it'll be available in your shop soon!!
the characters floating tears are definitely my favorite part. the way they float paired up with the zappy-ness of the hat makes it seem like she's about the launch her final attack and use all her power, like a storm is forming around her.
You're such an amazing artist! When you're showing the final thing at the end, to think someone literally drew and painted that is incredible. You're incredible. A computer's got NOTHING on you!!! ❤
I'm curious, do you think that the notion that it will replace us is silly? Because I personally do. I think people are always going to value what we make more over AI. Like I think that AI is a fun thing to play around with and does have its uses (like for inspirational purposes).
AI is terrible remember; art is amazing when it’s human made traditional ,or digitally examples 3D, 2D procreate ,clip studio it’s still hand made. Ai is a machine software that simply and QUICKLY generates ART STOLEN art at that from thin air without putting any thought or energy into it. Art comes from years of practice and dedication that’s why I love art. ❤ I love you’re art, and pieces every detail is beautiful 🤗
People who are against AI are against improvement. You are one of those people who would have been against digital camera's and claimed people should learn to develop their own film in a dark room. Or one of those people who says you need to manually splice a video together, using adobe premiere is cheating right.
Gatekeeping art is cringe, let people create however they wish, while GenAi is not drawing or painting it's still a legitimate medium and the process of making good AI art is not ass simple as you make it out to be. Also saying it's stolen is just a flat out lie or a misunderstanding of the technology.
@@jamessderby your one of those people that probably hasn’t drawn a day in their lives so using AI for is easy for you get outta the comments AI STEALS THE ART FROM THE ARTISTS ITS NOT RIGHT STOP DEFENDING AI ART
I feel like this all time about people who are close to me when they don’t understand me and who I am but what helped me was learning that no one will truly understand you and you can’t fully understand someone else…
When I first saw the sketch of this piece, it made me think of someone in a very vulnerable state, wanting to tackle a squabble at hand but not willing to do so without putting up some barriers letting them know they're not a pushover. I definitely wasnt suprised at all to learn the inspiration behind it. It comes through very very well, trust me. Also, I understand feeling like you may have went a bit too far with some of the orange but I just can't help but love how it made those gloves and hat pop so much more and almost come off the page. It absolutely helped with the effect you were going for. I feel like it sealed the composition. It also helps the character's face pop more because of the tones in the skin.
Thank you so much for this video. I always felt like my art had to be perfect, I put so much pressure on myself and then AI art made me quite hopeless, because after years of trying my best all I make does look "worse" than whatever these other people can bash together with their AI programs. It felt so unfair. I felt useless. But you're right. The artwork is about so much more than just the finished end result. It's about the process, the idea, the feeling and thoughts of the artist, the years of dedication. That's something AI art can't replicate, but something you can feel in the artworks. I've been following your art and videos for some years now and you always inspired me so much but this one, this made me the most emotional. Thank you so so much. I will try to draw again this week, I missed art so much.
Wow, what a beautiful illustration that really captures that defensive-angry-vulnerable feeling you get when you're arguing with someone. I've been following your art for several years now and I can 100% confirm that I keep on returning to your work because of the stories you create in your art and the way you explain your process technically, mentally, and emotionally. Whenever I watch your videos, I want to turn off my computer and paint. Also, I love the way you use acrylic. It looks like a completely different medium - not many artists can pull that off!
I love the stay wet palette, I’ve been using one for about two years. I have had to replace the sponge twice, and the paper once a month or so when I paint frequently. Be warned it can get moldy if it actually stays wet forever. I recommend trying to use up the paint, wash off the paper, and let it dry if you think you will go an extended period without using it.
(spoiler: very long post) I'll talk to you with an open heart (seems appropriate given the piece right? Ahaha - and btw, this piece?!.. Omg girl! The details, the rendering, the TRACING PAPER, big easy-yet-genius discover, and the acrylic used as a watercolor.. All beautiful, from start to finish! ❤) : I love the speech that you give from about 17:30 to 21:10, and the fact that: you know who you are, and do what you think. We can see it in this video: you know your colors, your faces, your style. That obsession you’re talking about, you vent it in the healthiest, most satisfying way possible. And I think that’s THE BEST for an artist! On the other end.. I am obsessed with those thoughts, but unfortunately also blocked by them. Because I constantly think that I never have the level I would like, and so it’s pointless to even think about producing something. For instance: I often find myself study some of your drawings or watercolors,as well as a few other artists that I consider masters (including you,obv). Because y'all have everything I want, as to subjects, composition, rendering, general aesthetics. For example, you know LittleThunder? Here, that freedom to draw every thing/subject/scenario comes to her mind, for me it's the final boss of artistic pleasure ahah.. but at the same time, I am super toxic dependent on this self-imposed standard, so much so that: if quality is not as good as half that of my masters, then it is useless to start.. I don’t even get the idea or the will for a piece. At the same time the impostor syndrome is ready to tell me that I did nothing but copy, and that I wasted time doing this, albeit educational and satisfying at the moment , when I should do my own work. So I am stagnant, I do not produce,I’m never satisfied with my abilities before I even touch the paper, impostor syndrome tears me apart..but above all, and I understood it clearly after your words: by "wasting time copying masters", I don't discorver who I am,and I don't fall in love with MY work.. Mine does not exist because it will always be too bad for my expectations, never as beautiful as the masters, so even if it would also be unique because it was created by me(a different and new person,artist,viewer), it would not be enough, and I’m too focused on appreciating what’s already there of other artists to see my value.. I know. It's all very twisted and kinda toxic and sad i think.. I told you about all this mess because I would like your advice, because I do not know how and whether to accept THIS obsession. Again,your way of dealing with your one is healthy and productive (the one I'd love to have,too). My obsession with perfection in the pieces of my masters on the other end, is something that I consciously recognize as toxic and absolutely against my productivity (I produce much more slowly and fatigue-especially at the start- for these reasons), but I can not help it. So I don’t know whether to accept to reproduce cyclically the faces, the poses, the watercolors that I like best, fill sketchbooks and sketchbooks, but do it for recreational purposes and keep it as a pastime,and let "my art" becomes this, a thing to keep hidden from others but only to vent an obsession (aka leave pages and pages to rot in the dust..) .. Or if I gotta force me to stop, and start doing mine, even bad. Even if I won’t be happy, because it’s not how I want it.. I’m too entangled in this, and whatever I choose, I see as the wrong choice. So I ask you, one of my two most inspiring teachers, an opinion on this topic- and also if you have ever felt like this. Any advice is welcome! Thank you for reading aAall this in advance! Love your art always. Maybe too much ahaha 🙏🏻❤
hello!! i’m a final yr illustration student so I think i have a useful perspective on this - i just want to say first: don’t give up! keep making whether that is studies from artists you admire or creating your own work. i think there’s a lot of pressure to share everything you’re making, and also comparing where you are now to the artists that inspire you, but try and put that aside and definitely don’t be ashamed if your skill level is not where you would want it to be (YET!!). the only way to improve is to keep making art, and specifically making art in a way that you enjoy (obviously it won’t always be 100% fun, it takes a lot of repetition to improve, but there’s a way to keep things fresh while still doing things over and over!) Hope this helps in some way and i hope you keep going with your art
I have been here since pretty much the Beginning and nothing makes me happier than to see these characters back at it with this entire process I am obsessed with watching these ! Please make prints this is abs amazing.
Honestly, this piece and how it came to be is the entire reason why i love art, (non-machine made) and you captured the same feeling I had when I first started noticing AI art. I totally agree with your view of 'making art' and how us artists put a human aspect into our art that AI art cannot replace. Think of it this way... human made anything that has been replaced by machine or technology ends up being coveted specifically because humans made it... like the traditional way of tattooing vs. using a modern tattoo machine or even hand knitted items vs. mass produced items in a factory... Also.... the trick with the tracing paper is GENIUS! And if you havent tried acrylic gouache yet, I think you'll like it more than fluid acrylics simply because they're more adept to super thin washes. Will you offer prints of this piece? I loooove her - you really nailed this 😁 ETA: oh yeah... i forgot about the flourescent issue - hopefully someone can help you get prints made or something! Or a phone wallpaper at least 😊
i have not seen your art before but holy frig is the cartoony character style so beautifully contrastful with your detailed rendering style, REALLY INSNAE, the blue light leaking into your characters shadows is great
Ai art can never kill our creativity. Ive been noticing people talk about the death of creativity, and its just not true. We are still here and always will be, making art, having new ideas. We are fighting for our art to not be stolen, yes. But its the process, the emotion, the meaning that makes art a treasure and a gift.
Honestly a lot of what you said is why I want to get into making art videos like this. I want to share the person behind the art, just as much as the work I create. I think more than ever that is just as important in this time of AIGC. This turned out so gorgeous, too. I also love working with neons but they DO NOT SCAN AT ALL, which is so frustrating.... you definitely have to set up a proper photograph situation and then adjust in post to get the best result.
I'm at the start of what will become a very long project, and what you said about feeling invigorated to start on this piece kinda struck me, because it made me realise that I'm *wasn't* feeling that, and that's why I was moving so slowly with it. It'll just be a case of finding that sense of inspiration again, but realising that I was missing something in the first place was already half the battle, so thank you! Your cat is super adorable by the way!
Great discussion of how AI art challenges us as artists and is a reminder to be authentic and to share more about the behind the scenes and emotions at the heart of the art. Thank you!
I think I can honestly say this is my favorite of your works and I know it’s in part because I know there is a real story about a real experience I can relate to behind it.
It's probably also because of the title but your artwork in the thumbnail really gave me a sense of the artist/poet (aka the heart) finally putting their foot down and fighting back
I am amazed that you are a person that really has a positive mindset about this, that is not destructive at all like that of most people. We can't change the evolution of AI or AI art, but we can change the way we think about it and how we adapt our processes.
I didn't think about art that way, I really enjoy drawing on procreate so I was really worried about ai. But this helps me remember that I get the enjoyment out of the characters I draw and share.
It is so nice seeing a new upload from you. If anything, AI is giving more value to traditional human made art. You just can't compare those soulless (yet visually "beautiful") things to what artists like you are doing. Never give up !
I think this video helped me realise that art is so much more than just content; more than pretty pictures to look at. It depends so much on the artist, it's creator, the person who made it - and that matters. While AI art is impressive for an algorithm and may even look really nice at times, it holds none of the thought that art made by a real person does. Art like this is about trying to capture ideas and scenes and stories into a singular moment and none of that planning is even capable from an AI. And this also extends to other forms of media aswell: the human experience is something truly irreplaceable. Lately, I've been feeling stuck in a rut with my art and nothing I ever make feels good enough but going forward I hope to think about this more - that my art isn't the end result it's me. -- sorry for rambling, I think I genuinely just had an epiphany. Also great art, I loved watching your process and learning about the meaning behind it. Personally, I interpret it as the heart at the top of her hat representing how love can cause you to act irrationally and hurt but at the end of it all everything we do is for it and fighting for what we love.
As a sensitive baby AND a fan of yours I love love LOVE this painting. I love the amount of detail you put in your work. No form of ai can beat human passion and imagination. I hope I’ll soon learn to make paintings as beautiful as detailed as yours 💗
I really like the pop of orange. And my mind is totally blown by all the digital effects you were able to do traditionally..! The glow and transparency and everything else.
This art is amazing. Truly admire your creativity and patience to refine your art. I love watching art process videos and that’s something AI will never be able to do and what makes us artists unique ❤
The piece is absolutely beautiful. To me it kind of gave a feeling of "protecting your passions" if that makes sense ? Defending what you love ? Yeah !
I think the piece perfectly evoques that first child impact things have on us under the thousands of layers of maturity. I truly love your sketches, i would like to see an art process of those sometime. Keep up the wonderful work!
My approach to making prints of my art when it's traditional and won't scan is to use my camera to take a really well lit photo with natural light! I've made many prints of photographs of my traditional art and it still looks amazing, the camera still captures the detail in the drawing as well as all the little textures. Like the camera you're using to film!
You most definitely accomplished what you set out to do. I know your art style from anyone else’s. Bravo! The piece itself is very convoluted to me. It’s like bad past relationships have depicted an attitude for any future ones. The dripping hearts underfoot are those she has gotten over and with each one has made her more jaded (pun intended bc of the green). The dim lights help to lead her through them (broken past)but keeps the lights dim is her being immature; hence the pink clown outfit.
This piece really reminded me of something I wanted to create it’s not like your visuals but the concept behind it, I find it fascinating to hear the thoughts that came to you throughout the process it made me feel more attached and appreciated to it, thanks for sharing it with us❤
I don't think the addition of the orange was greedy at all. Definitely completes the piece and adds the dimension you wanted. I much prefer it with the orange!
i think the chromatic aberration was really successful! it did add some punchiness to the piece. i've also experienced that issue with neons. i wish they scanned bc they're so pretty
God I love your artwork so much!! I love the message behind this piece 😭 (and the video) The lighting is GORGEOUS btw I can never wrap my head around how people are able to do lighting and things like these with traditional materials- it’s gorgeous
i've been watching your channel for at least 4 years now and i love seeing you grow. I always feel overjoyed when i see a new video because your art is so amazing and unique. The 3D shape and depth of your signature characters are so you. I'm glad you saw that you don't need change yourself due to AI taking over. Traditional art will not go out of style and as long as you're staying true to yourself nothing can stop you. little rant over lol, great video!
You are making an excellent point about two essential things about creating art - emotion and the process I am the artist and this resonated so strongly and the thought hit me, the only way to beat Ai is to be more human, to focus on human experience, perfecting our technique, immersing into the process of creation, making mistakes, etc etc. I deeply enjoyed your video and narrative.
This is such a beautiful piece! The character design and implied story design elements all come together into one cohesive & fantastic concept ( ^_^) b~❤
I thought the thumbnail was ai because I didn’t know what could make the beautiful effect but you have changed my view of acrylics! This is so gorgeous! The colors, the softness, the depth, the emotion!!! And the little carnival sort of motif is so adorable!! Subscribed!
i love your commentary. i love your artwork so much. the word itself unique isn’t enough to explain it. its absolutely beautiful. you motivate me so much, i want to try to paint like you do someday.
I feel like this artwork really captures the feeling of being misunderstood and wanting to be heard, and it also has a touch of desperation in it - as if the lady us trying to explain something important but her opponent speaks a fundamentally different language that doesn't have same concepts. Magnificent rendering, the colours and textures are really something.
Heads up, you can make your own stay-wet pallet with a piece of Tupperware and wet folded paper towels. The paper towels should be wet through, but not dripping. it works perfectly.
This piece is amazing!! I loved the process, and the end result. The background elements are a great complement, and the tracing paper technique is very clever too
For me this piece means fighting back with love even if people are spreading hate always be kind. I really love your art. ♥ AI art is such a huge topic. I'll always treasure art that is made by actual people way more.
Omg this video deserves waayyyyy more views ?! As an illustrator myself, I'm always equally fascinated by those who can create such realistic illustrations purely from their imagination! Truly impressive, I know that achieving such beautiful work requires a lifetime of dedication and hard work.🥹👍🏻
Love your work, creativity and colors so much. I’ve worked on so many different mediums over the years have begun using AI to create some references as in my 40 plus years or painting, I have never been good at drawing or painting something blindly or from imagination. Mostly I do portrait and animal portraits for money and the rest is just for fun. I love the ability AI has given me to see different so many different options and types of work. When I was in art school, it was sacrilege to mix anything with a watercolor painting. Now there are markers, pencils and pastels and the process is so fun. I think you just have to have the integrity to know when it is your work or when you are using a big part of someone else’s ideas if you are going to sell it. Hopefully most people will to get honest. Hope to see you at Skillsbare. Thank you for your great videos and lovely work.
i usually dont coment on youtube videos, but ur way of thinking really resonated with me! and to me, ur drawing really passes the vibe of something kinda innocent and child like that is afraid of being hurt, idk how to explain that, but all the color and elements of this drawing makes me feel acepted. If i could draw how i feel when im angry, it would be exactly like this drawing 😭💕 anyways, love u Chris
So fascinating to see you use acrylics totally as if they were watercolours, with the layering and very thinned out paint. Generally I only use acrylics to paint primed fibreglass sculptures for charity trails and I don't think this method would work on that sort of surface or survive on the trails even under the varnish.... BUT you are really making me want to try it!
This is how I see it. As AI gets more advanced and more people use it, the value of it goes down. The people buying these are people who don't appreciate art to begin with, and just want a picture for a cheap price. These are the type of people who will say "Your art is overpriced, you're not even that good". Artists don't want these people, so the AI bros will entertain them. On the other hand, the value of real art will increase significantly if everything you see is made by AI. People who appreciate art and the effort the went behind it will still exist, and these people are willing to pay what's worth to buy real art. Think of it like this. AI art will be cheap, and mass produced for the average joe to consume. Whereas real art will pretty much become a luxury item, because it's so rare. Considering how rich people spend their money, we can safely assume that they will throw their money at something that has more value. So I think artists losing jobs won't be a problem that we'll face. I have a feeling that AI art will die down once AI bros realise that they won't make much money from it, unless they go out of their way to scam people. What's ironic is that most of these AI bros are trying to copy right their prompts lol.
I love ❤️ your words of encouragement and inspiration against AI and the artist on their journey through the process and feelings of your emotions have been relieved and therapeutic and put you in a safe place of tranquility and making your work come forward and authentic. Hope you are doing well and feel better….
this has got to be a mew favorite from you. it is so beautiful! the character, the colors, the rendering, its all just so beautiful!!! im obsessed with it
This piece has so many elements that I would love to be able to execute but I am just not at that level. It was so satisfying to watch you create it though. Thank you for sharing your amazing work and videos 🤩
So, that trippy effect is actually how 3D used to work back when I was younger. You would have a pair of glasses with one red and one blue lense. The red blocks red light and blue blocks blue light making each eye see a different image. These days its done with polorization rather than color. One lense blocks vertical light waves and the other blocks horozontal.
This piece is beyond beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the story behind it. You’ve definitely inspired me to channel my feelings and experiences into my own art ❤🇨🇦
I hope that regardless of how busy it was on NYC ComicCon you had a great time, I was there too and got the convention flu as well 😅 AI can seem scary but your experiences are yours alone and as you've said you're having feelings and experiences while creating that make the process worth it or at least, it makes it worth most of the time. I love seeing your work and listening to your story. Thank you!
I'd love to add that why AI art looks so good is because it exists by sampling existing art, made by sensitive and hard working artists. AI doesn't create anything, it takes, compiles and re-arranges. So in a weird way, it looks so good because the true artists are so good ! Like a copycat of sorts, AI can only copy the shapes, colors and techniques, not the soul of art-making. Also right now it has a lot of trouble making hands with the right number of fingers XD Let's all keep creating unique pieces 😍 Cheers ❤️
Like, A. I. At it’s best is an inspiration tool, using it to help you visualize things when you’re like me and struggle with aphantasia or just really can’t quite build what you want in your mind. You type some stuff into the engine and then pull from and build on elements from the generated images. It’s like how it’s cool to trace in the name of practice, nothing wrong with doing it but don’t post it and then try to claim it as your own when it’s not. Also like, ngl, A.I. messing up and creating something uncanny is fantastic inspo for body horror/creepy “human but not quite” monsters. But like, that’s a perk that comes from how inherently soulless it is.
Beautiful work! Also thanks for sharing your thoughts on AI art. It can't take away the satisfaction of the creation process and the personal stories behind the art :) I love human-made art!
Wow your art is really good, lot's of technique and skill. When I first saw this art piece, I thought she looks ready. Not necessarily for a fight but she looks like she's at the point where she's willing to overcome fear.
Yo that tracing paper idea is mad helpful, im so excited to try that! The piece turned out sooooo amazing, i kept getting more stunned every detail you added 🤩❤️

Some ai art still comes out a little wearded out,I'd advise adjusting the eyes and hands in your paint programs.
This art made me cry. Because I’ve been struggling a lot in life these past years, and even though many things made me want to give up on art, I just love it so much. I love art so deeply. That’s why I cried.
Hi Jujucelium, I dont know what you've been trough in life. But, to me ART has helped me in many situations, believe me, I've been trough a lot.
I was angry about AI, about wars, money, and so on. But I realized that ART is what connects people and makes people smile. Life can be really hard some times, but, with time, trust me, It gets better. Im doing what I love, I still got no money/reward for that, but, last week, my art made someone smile, that made me so happy, I just wish you to feel the same
:D keep drawing and have fun 🙌
(I've been working on my art/manga for 14 years and I'm still a student. At the end of the day, the real value, the real work of an artist is to remind people that they have feelings, to make them smile, cry, laugh. What amazing job we have as artists, dont you think? Make It, even if its just for you, Im sure your ART will be aprecciated by someone)
(Btw, Sorry for my poor grammar, english is not my mother linguage :P )
🖼️🎨🖌️=❤️😆😭😁😎😝🥳
That usually means one has a lot of pain built up for a while. At least I get like that when I'm overwhelmed. I went to see Elemental and probably cried 20 times in the theater because my stress from everything in the past year was unbearable, I was able to experience great relief thanks to that work of art, that's why creative works are so important.
I love art very deeply too. it allows me to relate and bond with people who died before i was even born. also like pete seeger said:
"All the arts, music, the visual arts, acting and dancing arts, cooking arts, and I believe sports, will save the human race because they can leap over barriers, religions, leap over barriers of race, politics."
I feel the same way, I always get such a strong urge to create something but I feel like I can never live up to my own expectations, it’s so frustrating :(
Right? It’s not only all that too. Art is a time consuming skill. Back then no one questioned the time to make a piece. Nowadays you have to be good, fast and perfect. And then I look at my life and I have to work full time on a random company that wants mor every time, when I get to have some free time I have a lot to do, people to care for. And I don’t ever see myself working on art. But if I’m not making art, life feels so meaningless. I hope we get to achieve our dreams! 💕
Don't get hopeless over ai "art". The fight has only begun. The people who made glaze (a program made to hide your art from ai) are actually in the process of developing one that POISONS ai art. Basically when someone types a prompt which uses your art, the ai "art" gets all fucked up and not what the art thief wanted at all
Ye, but the AI devs also have these programms in mind.
@@SovermanandVioboy Not to mention if they made it open source, that'd be giving people who want to figure out how to make a workaround everything they'd need to make a workaround.
@@DanknDerpyGamerthese attacks on image generating ais exploit their inherent vulnerabilities, which is the fact that they need to be trained on a lot of images and that they often get their training images by just scraping the internet without any care. Even if they make modifications to defend against certain attacks, the methods of attacking them can always be tweaked to be effective again.
Plus, these ai models are basically a black box and we don’t know exactly how they “learn” so it will take much more work for ai engineers to figure out countermeasures. Also if enough artists are using Glaze or participating in attacks, then it can really mess up the results people get from the ai models, which reduces the overall enthusiasm and support of the ai models.
Also glaze has not yet been effectively bypassed as of me writing this comment.
The program is not meant to be used to influence image generation platforms the already exist. It's not even meant to prevent them from existing. It was not designed to be used maliciously. It was designed to give artist's more power over their art and ownership of it, and protecting it from getting scraped and used in training new models.
maybe they can make something to poison the ai data base itself.
WOW when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a digital drawing, how you handle traditional mediums is nothing short of magic. And the fact that you added chromatic aberration ON PAPER?? and it looks so convincing!! crazy
Awesome painting. This painting does everything that AI art can't do. It's very original and not derivative. It has interesting details that reward the viewer for looking at it longer. It has a lot of personality, and it's very you.
Hahahaha...
I love your art so much, it's beautiful and fun!
I think AI art just makes me realize that I care about the human behind the art. That's why I enjoyed it more when humans made it and enjoyed it less when I found out if AI made it. Sure AI art getting better and better but I enjoy it less than human-made art even the one that is considered beginner-level.
Thank you for your insight and the process video!
personally, I believe that AI ruins the meaning of art. art is beautiful because a person with so many creativiy made it through their hard work, and AI just has a final image without any emotions or thought behind it.
also - love your art! your rendering is right on point! 👁️💬❤️
It depends on what the art is for.
some people just love somehing pretty to look at.
Like a wooden table made by a machine vs a wooden table by the master craftsman of japan with a hundred years of culture etc.
Let's be serious the art industry is about money laundering and the other more obvious forms of artistry are commodified and carefully crafted to make the people think a certain way. My concern is that when people lose art they are separating themselves from another form of humanity and human expression as well as the abstract thinking that comes from observation of human art.
i think of it like this - ikea took away carpentry, right? It's the AI version of furniture. But you don't see people ooh-ing and aah-ing over ikea furniture. They do that over handmade stuff. Hand-made stuff always trumps generic rubbish. Fast food never beat the restaurants either. Robotic welders never took fabricators jobs. If anything, its given more value to tradespeople because people are sick of mass produced, generic crap.
@@wolfinthewheatfields3224
Not always.
Unless the “stuff” is done by a UNIQUE master of their craft or brand.
We are not just talking about mass produced bad quality things.
This is AI.
Months ago it can barely draw hands, now it can so it pretty much perfectly.
This is Ikea on steroids.
Fast food that has the potential to surpass gordon ramsay with time.
Animals make art too
I honestly was moved by your words and I can't help but thinking "why didn't I think of this at all?". Maybe because nowadays it'all about "how can I monetize this piece" that we tend to forget why we make art in the first place. With AI making such good pieces, having an inner meaning into our work is the key for unique artworks, without taking anything off from the aesthetic that is most pleasing to us.
Thank you for sharing your thought and vulnerability, and of course, as usual, great work! I love her! ❤
This turned out so adorable! No AI art, we want the real artist!
I have been following you and your instagram for 5 years now and I love how I have seen you grown both in your art and yourself! I hope you feel better soon and I love how the illustration came out!
Holy hell, Chris!! This is BEYOND amazing, a truly stunning piece😍😍
Really gives "I'm sick of this shit, time to fight back with kindness" kinda like kill them with kindness vibes, love it, really hope it'll be available in your shop soon!!
the characters floating tears are definitely my favorite part. the way they float paired up with the zappy-ness of the hat makes it seem like she's about the launch her final attack and use all her power, like a storm is forming around her.
I love this piece with acrylics, it’s bright n precise.....AI can never replace traditional art paintings ❤
You're such an amazing artist! When you're showing the final thing at the end, to think someone literally drew and painted that is incredible. You're incredible. A computer's got NOTHING on you!!! ❤
I’m writing an essay on why AI art will never replace artists! Absolutely gorgeous artwork :)
I'm curious, do you think that the notion that it will replace us is silly? Because I personally do. I think people are always going to value what we make more over AI. Like I think that AI is a fun thing to play around with and does have its uses (like for inspirational purposes).
@@naraku971I think so.
Don’t worry! Most art collectors loves the artist and there style behind pieces! No computer on 🌍 can beat that!
AI is terrible remember; art is amazing when it’s human made traditional ,or digitally examples 3D, 2D procreate ,clip studio it’s still hand made. Ai is a machine software that simply and QUICKLY generates ART STOLEN art at that from thin air without putting any thought or energy into it. Art comes from years of practice and dedication that’s why I love art. ❤ I love you’re art, and pieces every detail is beautiful 🤗
Please use punctuation
Pinterest or Google it really does help people that are struggling difficult an idea to create suffix or using AI really does help
People who are against AI are against improvement. You are one of those people who would have been against digital camera's and claimed people should learn to develop their own film in a dark room. Or one of those people who says you need to manually splice a video together, using adobe premiere is cheating right.
Gatekeeping art is cringe, let people create however they wish, while GenAi is not drawing or painting it's still a legitimate medium and the process of making good AI art is not ass simple as you make it out to be. Also saying it's stolen is just a flat out lie or a misunderstanding of the technology.
@@jamessderby your one of those people that probably hasn’t drawn a day in their lives so using AI for is easy for you get outta the comments AI STEALS THE ART FROM THE ARTISTS ITS NOT RIGHT STOP DEFENDING AI ART
"The art making experience is for you, the art viewing experience for the people, AI art cannot take away from that" - Great words!
I and other artists I know have had this similar mindset of wanting to be more connected with our art as as *actual* artists.
I feel like this all time about people who are close to me when they don’t understand me and who I am but what helped me was learning that no one will truly understand you and you can’t fully understand someone else…
When I first saw the sketch of this piece, it made me think of someone in a very vulnerable state, wanting to tackle a squabble at hand but not willing to do so without putting up some barriers letting them know they're not a pushover. I definitely wasnt suprised at all to learn the inspiration behind it. It comes through very very well, trust me. Also, I understand feeling like you may have went a bit too far with some of the orange but I just can't help but love how it made those gloves and hat pop so much more and almost come off the page. It absolutely helped with the effect you were going for. I feel like it sealed the composition. It also helps the character's face pop more because of the tones in the skin.
The thumbnail is so pretty I'm actually tearing up rn omg
Thank you so much for this video. I always felt like my art had to be perfect, I put so much pressure on myself and then AI art made me quite hopeless, because after years of trying my best all I make does look "worse" than whatever these other people can bash together with their AI programs. It felt so unfair. I felt useless. But you're right. The artwork is about so much more than just the finished end result. It's about the process, the idea, the feeling and thoughts of the artist, the years of dedication. That's something AI art can't replicate, but something you can feel in the artworks. I've been following your art and videos for some years now and you always inspired me so much but this one, this made me the most emotional. Thank you so so much. I will try to draw again this week, I missed art so much.
I love this, especially the tears!
I see it more as her fighting against someone she loved but hurt her
speaking of scanning, would you ever make a video going through the process of scanning and talk about what kind of scanner you use?
Wow, what a beautiful illustration that really captures that defensive-angry-vulnerable feeling you get when you're arguing with someone. I've been following your art for several years now and I can 100% confirm that I keep on returning to your work because of the stories you create in your art and the way you explain your process technically, mentally, and emotionally. Whenever I watch your videos, I want to turn off my computer and paint. Also, I love the way you use acrylic. It looks like a completely different medium - not many artists can pull that off!
I love the stay wet palette, I’ve been using one for about two years. I have had to replace the sponge twice, and the paper once a month or so when I paint frequently. Be warned it can get moldy if it actually stays wet forever. I recommend trying to use up the paint, wash off the paper, and let it dry if you think you will go an extended period without using it.
This could literally be my inner child when getting hurt, or is afraid of beeing hurt. Beautiful!
(spoiler: very long post)
I'll talk to you with an open heart (seems appropriate given the piece right? Ahaha - and btw, this piece?!.. Omg girl! The details, the rendering, the TRACING PAPER, big easy-yet-genius discover, and the acrylic used as a watercolor.. All beautiful, from start to finish! ❤) :
I love the speech that you give from about 17:30 to 21:10, and the fact that:
you know who you are, and do what you think. We can see it in this video: you know your colors, your faces, your style. That obsession you’re talking about, you vent it in the healthiest, most satisfying way possible. And I think that’s THE BEST for an artist!
On the other end.. I am obsessed with those thoughts, but unfortunately also blocked by them.
Because I constantly think that I never have the level I would like, and so it’s pointless to even think about producing something.
For instance: I often find myself study some of your drawings or watercolors,as well as a few other artists that I consider masters (including you,obv). Because y'all have everything I want, as to subjects, composition, rendering, general aesthetics.
For example, you know LittleThunder? Here, that freedom to draw every thing/subject/scenario comes to her mind, for me it's the final boss of artistic pleasure ahah.. but at the same time, I am super toxic dependent on this self-imposed standard, so much so that: if quality is not as good as half that of my masters, then it is useless to start.. I don’t even get the idea or the will for a piece.
At the same time the impostor syndrome is ready to tell me that I did nothing but copy, and that I wasted time doing this, albeit educational and satisfying at the moment , when I should do my own work.
So I am stagnant, I do not produce,I’m never satisfied with my abilities before I even touch the paper, impostor syndrome tears me apart..but above all, and I understood it clearly after your words:
by "wasting time copying masters", I don't discorver who I am,and I don't fall in love with MY work..
Mine does not exist because it will always be too bad for my expectations, never as beautiful as the masters, so even if it would also be unique because it was created by me(a different and new person,artist,viewer), it would not be enough, and I’m too focused on appreciating what’s already there of other artists to see my value..
I know. It's all very twisted and kinda toxic and sad i think..
I told you about all this mess because I would like your advice, because I do not know how and whether to accept THIS obsession.
Again,your way of dealing with your one is healthy and productive (the one I'd love to have,too).
My obsession with perfection in the pieces of my masters on the other end, is something that I consciously recognize as toxic and absolutely against my productivity (I produce much more slowly and fatigue-especially at the start- for these reasons), but I can not help it.
So I don’t know whether to accept to reproduce cyclically the faces, the poses, the watercolors that I like best, fill sketchbooks and sketchbooks, but do it for recreational purposes and keep it as a pastime,and let "my art" becomes this, a thing to keep hidden from others but only to vent an obsession (aka leave pages and pages to rot in the dust..)
.. Or if I gotta force me to stop, and start doing mine, even bad. Even if I won’t be happy, because it’s not how I want it..
I’m too entangled in this, and whatever I choose, I see as the wrong choice.
So I ask you, one of my two most inspiring teachers, an opinion on this topic- and also if you have ever felt like this.
Any advice is welcome! Thank you for reading aAall this in advance!
Love your art always. Maybe too much ahaha 🙏🏻❤
hello!! i’m a final yr illustration student so I think i have a useful perspective on this - i just want to say first: don’t give up! keep making whether that is studies from artists you admire or creating your own work. i think there’s a lot of pressure to share everything you’re making, and also comparing where you are now to the artists that inspire you, but try and put that aside and definitely don’t be ashamed if your skill level is not where you would want it to be (YET!!). the only way to improve is to keep making art, and specifically making art in a way that you enjoy (obviously it won’t always be 100% fun, it takes a lot of repetition to improve, but there’s a way to keep things fresh while still doing things over and over!)
Hope this helps in some way and i hope you keep going with your art
@@kay_3705 thank you so so much for your words 🙏🏼( yes the pressure is real and I should ignore it a little bit!)
I have been here since pretty much the Beginning and nothing makes me happier than to see these characters back at it with this entire process I am obsessed with watching these ! Please make prints this is abs amazing.
Honestly, this piece and how it came to be is the entire reason why i love art, (non-machine made) and you captured the same feeling I had when I first started noticing AI art. I totally agree with your view of 'making art' and how us artists put a human aspect into our art that AI art cannot replace. Think of it this way... human made anything that has been replaced by machine or technology ends up being coveted specifically because humans made it... like the traditional way of tattooing vs. using a modern tattoo machine or even hand knitted items vs. mass produced items in a factory...
Also.... the trick with the tracing paper is GENIUS! And if you havent tried acrylic gouache yet, I think you'll like it more than fluid acrylics simply because they're more adept to super thin washes. Will you offer prints of this piece? I loooove her - you really nailed this 😁 ETA: oh yeah... i forgot about the flourescent issue - hopefully someone can help you get prints made or something! Or a phone wallpaper at least 😊
i have not seen your art before but holy frig is the cartoony character style so beautifully contrastful with your detailed rendering style, REALLY INSNAE, the blue light leaking into your characters shadows is great
oh wow using the tracing paper to help planning mid-painting is so smart! thank you for sharing your process and thoughts on adapting to ai art!
Ai art can never kill our creativity. Ive been noticing people talk about the death of creativity, and its just not true. We are still here and always will be, making art, having new ideas. We are fighting for our art to not be stolen, yes. But its the process, the emotion, the meaning that makes art a treasure and a gift.
Honestly a lot of what you said is why I want to get into making art videos like this. I want to share the person behind the art, just as much as the work I create. I think more than ever that is just as important in this time of AIGC. This turned out so gorgeous, too. I also love working with neons but they DO NOT SCAN AT ALL, which is so frustrating.... you definitely have to set up a proper photograph situation and then adjust in post to get the best result.
Painting acrylic on watercolor paper is wonderful! Glad you're enjoying it.
I'm at the start of what will become a very long project, and what you said about feeling invigorated to start on this piece kinda struck me, because it made me realise that I'm *wasn't* feeling that, and that's why I was moving so slowly with it. It'll just be a case of finding that sense of inspiration again, but realising that I was missing something in the first place was already half the battle, so thank you!
Your cat is super adorable by the way!
Great discussion of how AI art challenges us as artists and is a reminder to be authentic and to share more about the behind the scenes and emotions at the heart of the art. Thank you!
I think I can honestly say this is my favorite of your works and I know it’s in part because I know there is a real story about a real experience I can relate to behind it.
It's probably also because of the title but your artwork in the thumbnail really gave me a sense of the artist/poet (aka the heart) finally putting their foot down and fighting back
I am amazed that you are a person that really has a positive mindset about this, that is not destructive at all like that of most people.
We can't change the evolution of AI or AI art, but we can change the way we think about it and how we adapt our processes.
I didn't think about art that way, I really enjoy drawing on procreate so I was really worried about ai. But this helps me remember that I get the enjoyment out of the characters I draw and share.
It is so nice seeing a new upload from you. If anything, AI is giving more value to traditional human made art. You just can't compare those soulless (yet visually "beautiful") things to what artists like you are doing. Never give up !
Thank you for your encouraging words.. it struck a chord with me, so thank you.. and I love your artwork and style!
I think this video helped me realise that art is so much more than just content; more than pretty pictures to look at. It depends so much on the artist, it's creator, the person who made it - and that matters. While AI art is impressive for an algorithm and may even look really nice at times, it holds none of the thought that art made by a real person does. Art like this is about trying to capture ideas and scenes and stories into a singular moment and none of that planning is even capable from an AI. And this also extends to other forms of media aswell: the human experience is something truly irreplaceable. Lately, I've been feeling stuck in a rut with my art and nothing I ever make feels good enough but going forward I hope to think about this more - that my art isn't the end result it's me.
-- sorry for rambling, I think I genuinely just had an epiphany. Also great art, I loved watching your process and learning about the meaning behind it. Personally, I interpret it as the heart at the top of her hat representing how love can cause you to act irrationally and hurt but at the end of it all everything we do is for it and fighting for what we love.
As a sensitive baby AND a fan of yours I love love LOVE this painting. I love the amount of detail you put in your work. No form of ai can beat human passion and imagination. I hope I’ll soon learn to make paintings as beautiful as detailed as yours 💗
Good to see you back. Please don't wait so long next time. You're one of my favorite artist on UA-cam. Looking forward to seeing you more often.
I really like the pop of orange. And my mind is totally blown by all the digital effects you were able to do traditionally..! The glow and transparency and everything else.
I’ m impressed at how you managed to make acrilics look like watercolors!The final piece is just amazing ❤❤❤
This art is amazing. Truly admire your creativity and patience to refine your art. I love watching art process videos and that’s something AI will never be able to do and what makes us artists unique ❤
Your handling of acrylics is gorgeous! I never would have looked at the final product and thought it was acrylic.
The piece is absolutely beautiful. To me it kind of gave a feeling of "protecting your passions" if that makes sense ? Defending what you love ? Yeah !
I think the piece perfectly evoques that first child impact things have on us under the thousands of layers of maturity. I truly love your sketches, i would like to see an art process of those sometime. Keep up the wonderful work!
My approach to making prints of my art when it's traditional and won't scan is to use my camera to take a really well lit photo with natural light! I've made many prints of photographs of my traditional art and it still looks amazing, the camera still captures the detail in the drawing as well as all the little textures. Like the camera you're using to film!
Love how you combine watercolour with colour pencil, really makes me want to try it. The saturation you manage to drag out of each medium is so good.
You most definitely accomplished what you set out to do. I know your art style from anyone else’s. Bravo! The piece itself is very convoluted to me. It’s like bad past relationships have depicted an attitude for any future ones. The dripping hearts underfoot are those she has gotten over and with each one has made her more jaded (pun intended bc of the green). The dim lights help to lead her through them (broken past)but keeps the lights dim is her being immature; hence the pink clown outfit.
This piece really reminded me of something I wanted to create it’s not like your visuals but the concept behind it, I find it fascinating to hear the thoughts that came to you throughout the process it made me feel more attached and appreciated to it, thanks for sharing it with us❤
I love the orange you added at the end. It amps everything up SO MUCH
ugh your concept art is always so beautiful and the end product is so gorgeous
I don't think the addition of the orange was greedy at all. Definitely completes the piece and adds the dimension you wanted. I much prefer it with the orange!
i think the chromatic aberration was really successful! it did add some punchiness to the piece. i've also experienced that issue with neons. i wish they scanned bc they're so pretty
I genuinely love the addition of orange! It really sells the glowing effect you were talking about for me ♡
God I love your artwork so much!! I love the message behind this piece 😭 (and the video)
The lighting is GORGEOUS btw I can never wrap my head around how people are able to do lighting and things like these with traditional materials- it’s gorgeous
nah your painting skills are beyond insane like how?????
i've been watching your channel for at least 4 years now and i love seeing you grow. I always feel overjoyed when i see a new video because your art is so amazing and unique. The 3D shape and depth of your signature characters are so you. I'm glad you saw that you don't need change yourself due to AI taking over. Traditional art will not go out of style and as long as you're staying true to yourself nothing can stop you. little rant over lol, great video!
You are making an excellent point about two essential things about creating art - emotion and the process I am the artist and this resonated so strongly and the thought hit me, the only way to beat Ai is to be more human, to focus on human experience, perfecting our technique, immersing into the process of creation, making mistakes, etc etc. I deeply enjoyed your video and narrative.
Can't believe you said "tickles my pickle" lmao
it shouldnt even get called art. Gives them more credit than most of those people deserve.
This is such a beautiful piece! The character design and implied story design elements all come together into one cohesive & fantastic concept ( ^_^) b~❤
I thought the thumbnail was ai because I didn’t know what could make the beautiful effect but you have changed my view of acrylics! This is so gorgeous! The colors, the softness, the depth, the emotion!!! And the little carnival sort of motif is so adorable!! Subscribed!
yayyyyy !!! i was actually going to dm you to make a video about ai art but here you already did it. thank you!!!
i love your commentary. i love your artwork so much. the word itself unique isn’t enough to explain it. its absolutely beautiful. you motivate me so much, i want to try to paint like you do someday.
I feel like this artwork really captures the feeling of being misunderstood and wanting to be heard, and it also has a touch of desperation in it - as if the lady us trying to explain something important but her opponent speaks a fundamentally different language that doesn't have same concepts.
Magnificent rendering, the colours and textures are really something.
Heads up, you can make your own stay-wet pallet with a piece of Tupperware and wet folded paper towels. The paper towels should be wet through, but not dripping. it works perfectly.
your art style is so unique, I have no clue how your brain comes up with these ideas! really interesting hearing your thoughts on the topic ❤
This piece is amazing!! I loved the process, and the end result. The background elements are a great complement, and the tracing paper technique is very clever too
For me this piece means fighting back with love even if people are spreading hate always be kind. I really love your art. ♥
AI art is such a huge topic. I'll always treasure art that is made by actual people way more.
What about when AI becomes people?
@@kamikeserpentail3778 Well, can't see that happening in the near future so I'm not really contemplating about that.^^:
Omg this video deserves waayyyyy more views ?! As an illustrator myself, I'm always equally fascinated by those who can create such realistic illustrations purely from their imagination! Truly impressive, I know that achieving such beautiful work requires a lifetime of dedication and hard work.🥹👍🏻
Love your work, creativity and colors so much. I’ve worked on so many different mediums over the years have begun using AI to create some references as in my 40 plus years or painting, I have never been good at drawing or painting something blindly or from imagination. Mostly I do portrait and animal portraits for money and the rest is just for fun. I love the ability AI has given me to see different so many different options and types of work. When I was in art school, it was sacrilege to mix anything with a watercolor painting. Now there are markers, pencils and pastels and the process is so fun. I think you just have to have the integrity to know when it is your work or when you are using a big part of someone else’s ideas if you are going to sell it. Hopefully most people will to get honest. Hope to see you at Skillsbare. Thank you for your great videos and lovely work.
i usually dont coment on youtube videos, but ur way of thinking really resonated with me!
and to me, ur drawing really passes the vibe of something kinda innocent and child like that is afraid of being hurt, idk how to explain that, but all the color and elements of this drawing makes me feel acepted. If i could draw how i feel when im angry, it would be exactly like this drawing
😭💕
anyways, love u Chris
So fascinating to see you use acrylics totally as if they were watercolours, with the layering and very thinned out paint. Generally I only use acrylics to paint primed fibreglass sculptures for charity trails and I don't think this method would work on that sort of surface or survive on the trails even under the varnish.... BUT you are really making me want to try it!
This is how I see it. As AI gets more advanced and more people use it, the value of it goes down. The people buying these are people who don't appreciate art to begin with, and just want a picture for a cheap price. These are the type of people who will say "Your art is overpriced, you're not even that good". Artists don't want these people, so the AI bros will entertain them.
On the other hand, the value of real art will increase significantly if everything you see is made by AI. People who appreciate art and the effort the went behind it will still exist, and these people are willing to pay what's worth to buy real art.
Think of it like this. AI art will be cheap, and mass produced for the average joe to consume. Whereas real art will pretty much become a luxury item, because it's so rare. Considering how rich people spend their money, we can safely assume that they will throw their money at something that has more value.
So I think artists losing jobs won't be a problem that we'll face. I have a feeling that AI art will die down once AI bros realise that they won't make much money from it, unless they go out of their way to scam people. What's ironic is that most of these AI bros are trying to copy right their prompts lol.
I love ❤️ your words of encouragement and inspiration against AI and the artist on their journey through the process and feelings of your emotions have been relieved and therapeutic and put you in a safe place of tranquility and making your work come forward and authentic.
Hope you are doing well and feel better….
I am honestly in love with your work🥹💖
this has got to be a mew favorite from you. it is so beautiful! the character, the colors, the rendering, its all just so beautiful!!! im obsessed with it
This piece has so many elements that I would love to be able to execute but I am just not at that level. It was so satisfying to watch you create it though. Thank you for sharing your amazing work and videos 🤩
So, that trippy effect is actually how 3D used to work back when I was younger. You would have a pair of glasses with one red and one blue lense. The red blocks red light and blue blocks blue light making each eye see a different image. These days its done with polorization rather than color. One lense blocks vertical light waves and the other blocks horozontal.
This piece is beyond beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the story behind it. You’ve definitely inspired me to channel my feelings and experiences into my own art ❤🇨🇦
I hope that regardless of how busy it was on NYC ComicCon you had a great time, I was there too and got the convention flu as well 😅
AI can seem scary but your experiences are yours alone and as you've said you're having feelings and experiences while creating that make the process worth it or at least, it makes it worth most of the time.
I love seeing your work and listening to your story.
Thank you!
I'd love to add that why AI art looks so good is because it exists by sampling existing art, made by sensitive and hard working artists.
AI doesn't create anything, it takes, compiles and re-arranges.
So in a weird way, it looks so good because the true artists are so good !
Like a copycat of sorts, AI can only copy the shapes, colors and techniques, not the soul of art-making.
Also right now it has a lot of trouble making hands with the right number of fingers XD
Let's all keep creating unique pieces 😍
Cheers ❤️
Like, A. I. At it’s best is an inspiration tool, using it to help you visualize things when you’re like me and struggle with aphantasia or just really can’t quite build what you want in your mind. You type some stuff into the engine and then pull from and build on elements from the generated images. It’s like how it’s cool to trace in the name of practice, nothing wrong with doing it but don’t post it and then try to claim it as your own when it’s not. Also like, ngl, A.I. messing up and creating something uncanny is fantastic inspo for body horror/creepy “human but not quite” monsters. But like, that’s a perk that comes from how inherently soulless it is.
I can completely relate to this! Very beautiful emotional expression! I'm a huge fan now
Beautiful work! Also thanks for sharing your thoughts on AI art. It can't take away the satisfaction of the creation process and the personal stories behind the art :) I love human-made art!
I love this! I've been following you for a while and you sound so much more happy and fulfilled in your own work. It's good to see you're having fun
This turned out incredible! What a stunning piece with a great message as well.
It's so beautiful I can't! Your style, the colors you're using, your ideas.. I love it so much!! Great video like always! Thank you! 🖤✨️
I honestly love ur paintings and the meaning behind them and their absolutley gorg!!
This piece is stunning. You are so talented, I really like the way you talk about art. I think it resonates a lot with my experiences too.
Wow your art is really good, lot's of technique and skill. When I first saw this art piece, I thought she looks ready. Not necessarily for a fight but she looks like she's at the point where she's willing to overcome fear.
Yo that tracing paper idea is mad helpful, im so excited to try that! The piece turned out sooooo amazing, i kept getting more stunned every detail you added 🤩❤️
