I've been fascinated by AI generated art and what it can bring ever since it was revealed. The steps that our technology has achieved is astounding.

Public AI art generation is very hard for me to access due to where I live. So I invested a huge amount of time learning how to build my Stable Diffusion server at home.

AI art is still not fully mainstream but it's getting there. There are many ways to use AI art:

Marketing material

Character design (my favourite)

Concept arts

World building

etc.

By using AI art it reduces the amount of work put in to design a single subject. For example: drawing comics become infinitesimally easier. Just describe what your characters are doing and use some AI posturing tools then BAM, a single comic panel.

Contrary to popular belief, AI art generation is art itself. Although it has become easier for anyone to generate AI art. It poses challenges of itself that would even challenge a skilled artist. For example:

Weighting of prompts

Using Loras and multi-models

Consistent character generation

The most notorious 'extra fingers'.

These are some of the works that I have made and have tweaked a lot.
