    This is the Comics, uh, sub(?), so it’s cool if I nerd out, right?

    This artist did a great job w contrast and has some nice psuedo cross-hatching work happening and pretty clearly did their own lettering, which is always welcome.

    But, like, you can also pretty clearly tell this was done on, I’m guessing an iPad, but definitely a digital tool.

    I would love to see this artist work with ink. I believe they would make very different decisions about line placement and I’d be interested to see what they come up with.

    Anyways, as is it’s fantastic.













  • Well now that’s just close minded!

    Go back and read discussions about synthesisers when they first arrived on the scene and you will see much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how synths are not real instruments and etc and so on. Then do the same thing when hip-hop goes mainstream and people say it’s not “real” music because the musicians don’t perform with “real” instruments, I guess.

    You see where I’m going with this? There’s lots of examples like these in music and visual arts and they nearly always stem from ignorance.

    I don’t know anything about AI music generation, but visual art can be generated by AI models on local machines with a great amount of fine tuning and depth. Further, people feed their original artwork into the AI and manipulate that, so it’s not so cut and dry. This idea that folks just write a sentence and the computer barfs out an image is uninformed.

    Anyways, I’m blabbing. Hope that helps.
