A sampling of favorite BGs I did for Knights of Guinevere episode 2! While I love drawing whimsical fairytale forests I'm just as delighted when I'm drawing grimey industrial hallways 😎

Some little dreamy landscape thumbs.

3 images stacked vertically. Top: A knot of green grass curling around blue streams, dotted with red bridges and shards of sky. The land crests into a hill with a red lighthouse, against a backdrop of perfectly spaced clouds. Middle: A road of small clouds leads up to the front door of a house suspended in air. There are thin lines indicating the crude contours of a hill. Bottom: A green field dotted in giant shards of glass, a red lighthouse in the distance. The clouds swirl in a circle, and further our, cascade down into the bars of a bird cage. I donno, I thought it was kind of neat.

Use it daily, even when painting. I think all the latest additions have been amazing, love the point to fit feature from the ctrl pop up menu. I think some support for tourbox could be cool in the future (maybe it already works? but I haven't tested that).

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

So tired of this shit. Literally any concept artist can doodle up a better solution in minutes. And you know it’s original and not just plucked from some other IP. And they can iterate on it in realtime, allowing the whole team to be in on the process. We had this process for fucking decades.

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

If you gotta use genAI and LLMs for projects in your personal and professional life, that just means you don't take craft or creative labour seriously enough. And your projects? Along with the rest of the folks in the rat race doing the same thing you are? What're you even doin here.
