Resides in peoples' minds; in the "mental space"

He/Him

More Below [UPDATE: UNVALE PAGE]

★ Character I designed like a couple weeks ago, just messing around, I ended up having a lot of fun with this guy! And I find him very draw-able

^ Some doodles I did, mainly trying to brainstorm for story ideas, the second doodle is the plot/premise I'm building off of right now; He lives in a "mental space" of sorts, but is unable to access his own mind, and so he attempts to find and convince other people to let him live in theirs.

That's all I have to give for now! Have a swell day

Oh Also He Talks Capitalizing All First Letters Like This

say goodbye to your precious blender sphere (evil mysterious cackling)

Square...

Idk which is better diagonal stripes or squiggly stripes but the wiggly stripes are wobbly which fits the sleepiness vibe

I'm alive I promise his name is Rowan

He was raised to fight, and doesn't know much apart from that and how to use a computer. But even that's lost on him, as he still refuses to cooperate with the things.

Character concept cooking up

Character concept doodles.....

Some clock fellas... they're for a game idea that I wanna make after I learn more about coding and such

Literature

Sketch for a lil mini two comic-style pages... made these for fun, I don't know if it makes sense without context. But they're robot guys in a meeting

it's not 'AI art has no soul' because soul is subjective and creating art is not necessarily a divine spark of inspiration, sometimes human made art is empty of feeling and meaning and that's okay.

it's not 'AI art is ugly' because human made art doesn't need to be pretty, it's still art, no matter if you're starting or if you intentionally make ugly things. It's still okay.

The problem, with AI art (besides the copyright theft, the environmental issues, the artists losing their jobs..)

The problem is that

AI art lacks INTENT

When a human makes something, every part of the creation is a decision made. Why this line, why this color, why this word, why this stitch, why this note.

They may be good decisions, bad decisions, it doesn't matter. The end result is something with thought, and this is why we appreciate art. There is the surface, and underneath, there is an ocean of decisions made by the artist.

AI art has no intent.

Yes, they will type prompts for a general idea. And they will pick a result.

But there is no thought about poses, colors, lines, backgrounds, details, negative space, lighting, texture, framing, etc.

Becoming a good artist means to understand these decisions and align them to make the result you want.

AI art will pick through millions of those decisions made by other people and will stick them together without meaning or reason, so they lose their intended purpose. This is why people think AI art is empty, that it has no 'soul'. Because there is no thought process behind it.

We should stop comparing human and AI art by using words like "better" or "worse". People will always have different opinions.

But as a human, I am more interested in things made by other humans, because I can observe all those tiny decisions, I can relate to some, be surprised by some, dislike some, it's all good.

Art is people communicating.

AI art has nothing to say.
