Just been asked if I want to promote an ai powered 3d model generator. Replied ‘lol’ Stay vigilant folks and fuck ai

Goes both ways. I’ve been on plenty of projects where those early ideas were the purest, they then get sandblasted to hell to the bland final result.

The infuriating thing is this is fucking real. I was happily plodding on with some new TRIBAL stuff this morning. I see this and that’s me done now, every bit of creative wind sucked violently from my sails. What’s the fucking point anymore.

Every single day my desire to create gets fucking slashed in half. Creative death by a thousand cuts. Fuck em all.

Tom Gray is amazing at this sort of thing. An impassioned speech to the Ivors Academy. Inspiring stuff.

In the middle is Korlyn, a human consciousness inside a robot frame (common in this world). Big guy on the left is Blu, her dogs consciousness uploaded into a huge frame (not common at all, first time it’s happened) basically a Labrador crossed with the hulk. On the right is Red, her trusty mount.

Actually found a process I like with this, may have to finally reverse my ‘I hate painting’ stance😂

"I only use AI for the concept art and prototyping" OH, so only the most basic and fundamental parts, the parts that will literally determine the direction of everything else, just THOSE parts, cool, gotcha

Some sketchbooks I like. Pith ‘Pomelo’ - very smooth, creamy paper. Slightly odd truncated A4 format but feels good in your hand

Fucks sake they were my go to sketchbooks, time to look elsewhere!

I’d record but my process is so sloppy, I basically use blender as a sketchbook, embracing the chaos trying things until I find something I like then Just build from there.
