i got pipi to draw first idk if ill play today or tomorrw

[hushed wagon]

Word

[hushed wagon]

The creature

[quasi tartan]

An artist!

How novel

I hope it goes well

[hushed wagon]

Demonic in nature

[digital bane]

chaos and death incarnate

[hushed wagon]

Up to no good judging by their appearance

[digital bane]

they share one braincell

a broken one

not even a full one, more like 0,25 of it

[hushed wagon]

Depending on the time i can help still

Whenever

Its the only reason i play currently

Helping penances

[digital bane]

bless

[fading scaffold]

Reminds me of Pipi, very nice

[hushed wagon]

they said its pipified

idk what pipi is but bless

[fading scaffold]

It's a character from an animation on youtube "The legend of Pipi"

[hushed wagon]

It looks like those furry ocs
The proto something or whatever

[digital bane]

protogens suck, nobody will change my mind

[fading scaffold]

true

[digital bane]

half furry half robot, as much as i love mechs and drawing furries/creatures i hate protogens with my whole being

same with synths tbh

but this one mostly because my machine sona was compared to it while being a totally different thing called simply an Ethernal Machine/Glitch after being broken

[digital bane]

ah yes, 40k pipification, only 5$

[hushed wagon]

choose your fighter
pipification
fumoification

[digital bane]

pipi

emperor but marketableplushified

imagine

[south parcel]

sketch for one of my characters (vet)

[wanton tendon]

reminds me of V for Vendetta a little bit, nice work

[south parcel]

yea hes not got the prettiest mug

[wanton tendon]

you definitely drew him a prettier face 😄

[digital bane]

art does spark joy
creator in game... not so much

every game ever

also more psyker from my boy

[cloud pike]

elderscrolls oblivion had a good creator for faces, tho the base face did suck to build off of....

[digital bane]

i was really happy with cyberpunk creator tbh

it wasn't much but enough for me

[inner kettle]

Was going for Death Korps vibes with Midjourney. Glad they added the Armaggedon cosmetics

[cloud pike]

havent played. not a fan of singleplayer games, which is funny because I enjoy campaign modes and will play them threw befor engaging in multiplayer

[digital bane]

i can't tell what i like honestly, i jump around co-ops and multis (but not so much, left apex due to shit game menagement and community, stayed in paladins for 7 years and still being a masochist about it) but I do enjoy singles like ruiner or hotline miami or some boomer shooters

cyberpunk was only big singleplayer game and only one with a creator for me tbh because it's not my type, i had it because of setting and aesthetic (and own simping reasons)

but aside of that and lack of any experience with creators - darktide got a really fun and good one too

Only - for me are lack of body scars and lack of adding more muscles

BUT height is a fun option, never saw it before anywhere

[cloud pike]

yeah, hight is a Super rare slider to see. mostly because it messes with balancing in pvp shooters

[low badge]

Also, depending on the nature of the game, animations

[cloud pike]

and 3d modling. cloths clipping is a big issue in games that let you change more than just the face

[rare stump]

best character creators I've ever seen were in Fallout 4 and Sims 4. Just like using the entire RGB color wheel for coloring instead of preset faces, being able to shape the face in a ton of small ways, in an organic way UI-wise by dragging body parts around, allowed for limitless expression and variety. Imagine if, for every face in Darktide, you could also modify it piece by piece, that'd be rad as hell but also blow the budget

[wispy ibex]

I just want the option to make my Ogryn “Shrekt” to have green skin

Guess I’ll need to eat some plague residue to turn green

[cloud pike]

part of me wants to reinstall Sims4, but thats a rabbit hole i dont need to be falling into right now XD

[zealous fossil]

fun lil doodle i did cuz i love this game lol

[wanton tendon]

some furniture things

Might have to find this room in-game and take some screenshots of my own, some of the details are lost in darkness 😅

[inner kettle]

Not specific to Darktide but in light of Henry Cavill starring and producing in some 40K shows, I (and Midjourney) give you Commissar Cavill

[chilly kraken]

Drovas not like hurt people, is just easy. Never lose in pit. Suppose lose one time, forget and break little man too much. No more pit now, only many sick man to crush. Still not lose.

[analog geyser]

AI art?

[chilly kraken]

Yes, midjourney. Took a bit to get there though

[wanton tendon]

smaller scale stuff today, feels like less progress until you look closer

[dire flame]

i wanted to make a purity seal but then realized it would look dumb just as a render floating around by itself so i quickly whipped up a hammer to go along with it :) used the thunder hammer for reference but didnt just make a 1-1 copy of it, im happy with it at least, especially as a quick day project for practice and stuff

My dude looks like a Gears of War character than 40k lmao

[sage gust]

If Dom killed the truck instead of it blowing up and killing him

[vagrant cobalt]

In this timeline Dom picks up the truck and throws it into the explosives

[lapis river]

We all can agree that AI art sucks shouldn’t be a thing

Except ofc the very few would disagree

[fair warren]

It's more like that "I made this" meme than that

[celest trellis]

You’re not wrong

I just like that the “40k” arm is dark, and the “dune” arm is sandy-colored

[buoyant surge]

well in dune every machine that can calculate shit is illegal. In 40k computers are still allowed, but it must be strictly regulated, and, well, prayed to.

[celest trellis]

Or, if you wanna lean into psych-horror, ||a poor bastard that’s been mind-wiped & bio-hacked into there||

Those servo-skulls you see floating around or hacking into the access terminals? ||that’s a dude.||

They lean into it with the medicae terminal guy.

I got a friend who’s into Giger and cosmic horror, and I’m biting my tongue over here trying not to spoil the medicae lines for him

[analog geyser]

"See commissar, it's not Artificial Intelligience if we use a servo-skull for processing! It's just intelligence"

[hushed wagon]

artificial intelligence when natural stupidity walks in

It's far too early for actual artwork... it's more like fanfiction or AI-Art
I mean, the actual news of Amazon aquiring the rights is basically 3 days ago. Far too early for anything noteworthy

[lime gyro]

yep i heard the news and tbh i look forwad to it

[azure depot]

A mug i made with absolutely nothing on it that gives proof im a heretic

I am a loyal servant to the throne and what not, heresy is cringe

[vagrant cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-14744673

something don't feel right

[azure depot]

Its just a mug

Nothing heretical about it

[vagrant cobalt]

Hmmm alright checks out

[azure depot]

I would never add the symbol of nurgle anywhere and such accusations are very out of place

How do y’all even know what it looks like, hmmm?

Maybe you are the heretic!

[vagrant cobalt]

Now listen we don't have to go too far here... Oh just more thing, I'm a part of the inquisition and that is a symbol of Nurgle

Now we can do this the easy way

Or we can do this the hard way

[azure depot]

Shit

Uh

Its not mine

Its for a friend

[vagrant cobalt]

Now ya see, I would buy that excuse

[vagrant cobalt]

but you said you made this mug

[azure depot]

Uhhhhh

Damn

I’ve been got

[vagrant cobalt]

now that typically means that it belongs to you

even if it was made for another individual, your hands forged it

[azure depot]

Rottigus made me do it

He held me at gun point

[vagrant cobalt]

Hmmm

funny you say that

there is no Rottigus that has been reported in this sector

[azure depot]

He came and left after i made the mug

I swear

[vagrant cobalt]

Yeah listen pal

I'm gonna send you this nice place called Tertium

ok?

[celest trellis]

Me neither I’d be out in front

[azure depot]

Nurgle isn’t even bad

He just wants to spread his love and gifts

[bright kiln]

I'm honestly not sure if I post this in memes or here, so I'll post it here for now

All I have to say it, the bolter has every right to fuck, but Fat Shark really did come in here like "Yeah, but what if it fucked MORE?"

[cosmic mesa]

I'm gonna do a little fix

I'm sorry my inner editor is annoying

[drifting bane]

Whit is alrady bad

[bright kiln]

I don't really have any good editing software, so thanks for cleaning that up

Correct its ai art lol

[vague laurel]

WIP of an art by Astrubal for a cross between soulsborne and Warhammer: turning a knights armor set into voidsman armor. It’s a helmed wip but thought I’d share it anyhow.

[elder marten]

So sick man

[inner kettle]

I heard there was some heresy in here

[vague laurel]

Aye, thanks for the support. If I had any choice in the matter, this is what my zealot would've looked like
Or at least put him in any variant of void armor: navy needs some representation on the ground

[elder marten]

What we need are power axes for Zealots my dude. That would fit them so well

[vague laurel]

Aye, thats what Im saying! We got power mauls and power swords...its only fitting axes be brought into the fray. Plus, the force effect would work super well with armor piercing.

Doubly so if its a two handed axe like the axe jacks or a battle axe style weapon

In the fantasy variant, the character wields a greatsword and axe...but here, its all axes. Axes and buckshot

Some playing cards and whatnot

[rare stump]

notice the gauntlets and hands, the AI is starting to fall apart in those areas

plus nonsensical gun

Why do they say they made their friend into an ultramarine

Just some Admech art I have been making with the help of abhorrent machine intelligence

[zealous comet]

The 1960s scifi epic of Skitarii fighting on Armageddon, directed by Henry Cavills great Grandfather

these are genuinely dope

these are starting to look like genuine admech art almost

[low badge]

I assume these are all ai generated (thus the oversized shoulders, backpacks, and rounded shapes. Drawing from space marine art)

[zealous comet]

Yes, they are ironically AI Art of Admech

[low badge]

Ehhh, they don’t look very admech to me? They’re the right color, but admech stuff is basically never painted

Admech is exposed wiring, gray steel, and red robes

[zealous comet]

It's not really uniform across all of Admech. Not to mention not all Admech is exactly the same as the Martian posterboy Admech

[low badge]

Fair, that is the one thing that is in fact painted

[zealous comet]

Not really fanart so not the correct channel for it, but I love this piece, it represents Admech for me

[low badge]

Looks like some tanks are painted as well

[wary berry]

what AI is that?

[hushed wagon]

midjourney probably

[wary berry]

IT was midjourney!

[vocal forum]

Have you considered doing bad doodles instead anyway

Like no joke I would rather look in here and see a bunch of scrap paper art from people who just started trying to draw this month than any amount of weirdly similar pieces that look good on a passing glance that I can identify as AI "art" when I look down and see someone stuck the hand in a blender

[analog geyser]

ye same

[quaint tundra]

Hating ai art is a silly bandwagon

Its just higher tech tracing

Its not the antichrist

Now if someone sells it. That's another story

[vocal forum]

lmao, I know a lot of artists and not a single one would publically share stuff they traced. They'll say do it to help learn how to draw but passing around art you made via tracing is considered shitty so thats not a good defense

[quaint tundra]

Eh tracing is the comprison for its relation to actual art

[vocal forum]

If thats its comparison then it should also be compared by how its treated, which seems to be about the same (poorly)

[glossy gust]

ye, this is a channel for showing off your works - no one has anything against it if you use AI to make a meme and post that in memes, but this is an art channel

[quaint tundra]

I see it as computer mashups that like or not are not 1:1 with sources aka: idea generators

[vocal forum]

Cool then use it to make an idea and then draw the idea, dont post the idea draft in here

[quaint tundra]

I like seeing these random creations. Don't give orders.

[glossy gust]

fair, but not what this channel is for

[quaint tundra]

Anyway lots of spaces to complain that AI tech exists, and AI art is still images so whether it belongs is a policy argument for elsewhere

[vocal forum]

I dunno i agree that it should be posted in the memes channel

[quaint tundra]

Your pov kinda isn't the one setting policy though

[vocal forum]

I mean sure but i was just trying to encourage more people to actually draw before you came in getting upset about the "ai hate bandwagon"

[glossy gust]

exactly, all we said is that we prefer doodles over AI art

we're not trying to get it removed or anything

[quaint tundra]

Drawing is great

AI art is neat

That's all there is to say ig

(side note but considering how many artists fuck up hands to the point of it being a recurring joke...)

[vagrant cobalt]

with AI art I appreciate the programs and coding process that went into turning words into art
with artist drawn art I respect the time and effort that went into it

[quaint tundra]

Def

[earnest cipher]

[zealous comet]

Imo AI art is fine as long as it is declared as such.
And if someone gets mad about AI art, I'm like thats just your opinion bruh.

[analog geyser]

no

its not ok

it uses artists art to make its "art"

its fine as a tool but nothing more

if someone posts it here, its w/e

but its not okay tbh

just like tracing, it requires 0 skill to type a few commands into midjourney

its good for practice/tool just like tracing (if you're willing to learn from the techniques that you copy)

but you dont post it/share it

[sand lily]

Art is art at the end of the day

Don’t make no different where it comes from to me

[zealous comet]

People shit on paper and call it art.

[analog geyser]

and?

that has nothing to do what we're doing here lmao

[lapis river]

There’s no talent, just skill

[analog geyser]

it should

[zealous comet]

"Art" doesn't have a very steep entry bar

[analog geyser]

okay

then draw

its better than typing commands

and its appreciated

especially if you try to improve

[analog geyser]

its literally no effort to type commands

and it uses other peoples art as a basis

without credit

and without permission

[lapis river]

I remember seeing two AI prompt mfs fight over eachother because they used exact same prompts to generate few images

First thing that appeared in my head was Sly Cooper Honor among thieves

[zealous comet]

fair use covers the transformation into something else, so strictly speaking you don't require permission

[analog geyser]

Lol

its called courtesy

every actual artist has it

[lapis river]

What?

[analog geyser]

and i cant argue that point since I havent read up on fair-use laws

but im pr sure thats not the case

it may be though since i havent read up in a while

[lapis river]

One thing is that if there weren’t any actual art then AI generated versions of said art would only come from like photography which would limit itself a lot

[sand lily]

Oh well

[vocal forum]

There was a ruling like yesterday that AI art doesnt have the same protections actual art does because a human didnt make it lmao

So fair use probably wont apply to it either

[analog geyser]

Its not legally allowed to sample art then?

[zealous comet]

reverse is also true, since a human didn't make it, noone "stole" anything lol

[analog geyser]

Not How that works

[vocal forum]

You stole it to put it in a program

[analog geyser]

Just cause a computer virus isn't a person doesn't mean Its not illegal what it does

Lol

[zealous comet]

the person who programmed and shared the virus is to blame, not a string of code

[vocal forum]

It was specifically that you cant copyright claim/protect AI art, sampling is still legal, but my point is that its not hard for a court to go from there with precedent to "that also means fair use doesnt apply"

[analog geyser]

Yeah

AI art tbh is just a fad like NFTs

It's cool as a tool
But it will never be taken seriously like a professional art piece

At any skill level

[sand lily]

At the end of the day, you came up to me and showed me a cool picture. I’d say that it looks good. Quite frankly couldn’t care where it came from

[analog geyser]

I mean, In an art chat

You should

Cause people will and do pass off AI art as their pwn

When it's infact
Not

You can think it's cool

But you can still be aware it's not really art

[zealous comet]

this is actual art

[vocal forum]

Yes

[lapis river]

Yes

[glossy gust]

Yes

[lapis river]

Keep improving and you’ll do sickass shit my dude

[vocal forum]

Congratulations on your first piece

[lapis river]

My main problem with AI generated images is that they all look the same because when you see 3 you can recognise all of them and anytime you see any you know it didn’t take effort at all

[analog geyser]

Yes
Keep trying and you'll get better champ!

You should look at some tutorials for actual bodies
Stick figures are great for skeleton sketches!

[lapis river]

Stick figures are great

[river pilot]

Yeah, I don't like AI art. It doesn't look all that good and there is no effort into it.

[earnest cipher]

Did ya'll read about the guy who "wrote" a book using AI and also used AI to make art for it

[zealous comet]

It took less effort to make than tuning the correct amount and combination of keywords for midjourney, so how do you qualify art again?

[vocal forum]

Well you made this.

So its actual art

[lapis river]

AI generated writing is insane how accurate that actually is to a human

[analog geyser]

My reaction to people defending AI art because they can't be arsed trying to learn to draw

[vocal forum]

Its not a blender amalgamation of other people's work but your own effort

[zealous comet]

My computer made it, I just waved an input device

[glossy gust]

Slaanesh-thingy

[analog geyser]

Yet you provided input in the form of stilus, unlike literal text
Which stilus is an analogue of physical pen and paper, using software to make it easier by allowing you the wide range of tools that would cost thousands in real life
Using real skills learnt from real physical art

[earnest cipher]

Yeah it's almost kinda creepy

[lapis river]

Which is bland and effortless

[analog geyser]

But defend your shitty text prompt art jackass

Take the time and effort to draw. Learn skills.
Hell, if you want, I can send you tutorials and give you tips

But don't defend AI art like it requires skill

It's such a disservice to actual artists

[earnest cipher]

I'm just tired of seeing borked AI art with mutant hands and people telling me it's good

[zealous comet]

Who claimed it does? That's your own strawman you are raging against.

[analog geyser]

This is awesome

Ha

Right

[sand lily]

I think AI wrinkles are the best

Absolute cursed mess

[analog geyser]

"What do you mean you don't appreciate 3 arms on a clearly layered AI art"

[earnest cipher]

"Guys do you like my AI art" and the character has 6 disjointed fingers and an extra arm

Sure if you're into mutants

[analog geyser]

Accurate 40k human

[zealous comet]

AI gives people without skills or talent the ability to visualize their ideas in a halfway presentable manner. Noone claims it requires skill or effort, that's the exact reason people make AI "paintings" because they would not bother otherwise.
I have not seen anyone brag about AI results either, that sounds like another strawman, if anything people like the results and feel like sharing them.

[lapis river]

I want a person to try to secretly try to make an image with that prompt on it and see if anyone notices if it’s intentional

[earnest cipher]

I have.

[analog geyser]

Okay, then don't post your AI art that you use for visualisation in an art channel when everyone here draws lol

[earnest cipher]

I have seen people defend their ai art like it's theirs.

[analog geyser]

And yes, people brag about it. It's anecdotal sure, but I've seen it enough times

[earnest cipher]

Lol

[glossy gust]

Very cool. Should I ever switch from AoS to 40k I'll defintely try kitbashing something like that, really makes them look more 40k and less Starship Troopers

[analog geyser]

Feudal world guardsmen are super cool

A lot of them just wear straight plate

Like 1400-1600s plate armour

[earnest cipher]

On the flip side though, AI art does and can have its use for conceptual ideas and inspiration

[analog geyser]

And are given chain-halberds and lasguns

[analog geyser]

Yeah

[glossy gust]

Shouldn't be too hard to find/convert...

[analog geyser]

It's a tool

[sand lily]

I can’t draw, I can paint minis but I suppose that’s essentially the 3D version of colouring between the lines

[analog geyser]

However, I will not post my generated concept art into this chat

[analog geyser]

Painting minis requires a lot of skill

[lapis river]

Helps visualise yes, great for references, but don’t line track or just send the generated image cause that’s just blatantly bad. It’s a great TOOL to USE for new artists to get the hang on the system

[sand lily]

And patience 😅

[vocal forum]

I mean mini painting is its own thing, you still need to keep colour coordination in mind

[analog geyser]

You will be surprised how much effort and technique that's translatable to pen and paper

[earnest cipher]

I don't demonise it completely I just don't like people claiming it is the same as non ai art

[analog geyser]

Need to understand shading
Effects of lights
Highlighting
Dark contrasting
Paint consistency

It's a lot of skill that's exactly the same as digital/pen paper art

[sand lily]

Thank you,

[analog geyser]

You won't be able to draw a body/human, but you'll be damn amazing at colouring it

Rendering colours are it's own pandora's box

So don't sell yourself short lol

[sand lily]

I will admit, I had a marine picture someone sent me and I changed some of the colours to add hazard stripes on the leg, that’s about the extent of my drawing I ever did

[glossy gust]

Also can we please end this discussion anytime soon? I'd rather have this channel flooded with AI art than turned into a digital novel

[analog geyser]

Some 40k stuff I've drawn

[earnest cipher]

That's fair. Just wanted to say my 2 pence

Enjoy the art folks

[glossy gust]

Very nice, I love the one kneepad, suggests that she spends a lot of time in this position, waiting for some nids to get smoked

[analog geyser]

Yep

I like drawing well equipped guardsmen

Cause they're sure as hell not conscripts

[glossy gust]

Also the shoulderpad on the forward facing side only

[analog geyser]

Yeah!
I'm glad you noticed the details

[earnest cipher]

@analog geyser Belated but I really like the art you've posted here - nice style

[umbral fractal]

seeing AI art in a fan art channel feels kind of insulting

is it cool? i guess so

but did you really, make it or put any effort into the creation of something, to justify placing it alongside the labors of love people have made for a franchise they enjoy?

[quaint tundra]

shrug With all respect to the actual artists posting neat stuff they've made themselves, but if this channel is for posting random fan art by other people too, AI images fall under the same general principle of "someone likes its quality, regardless of maker".

[umbral fractal]

i believe the intention of a fan art channel is typically to post things you have made

[quaint tundra]

But that's not how it's been used

[umbral fractal]

otherwise it would just go in other media channels

[analog geyser]

yes

we had this convo before plenty of times

AI art is fine as a tool but i dont think its a right fit for the art channel

[umbral fractal]

yeah

was in a mission but

even if a channel isn't being used as it was likely intended to be,

should we then ignore the desires people have to use it properly?

[quaint tundra]

take it up with wardens ig?

if you feel the definition of the channel isn't clear

[umbral fractal]

i'd prefer not having to ping moderators

i'm just voicing my thoughts on the matter

[quaint tundra]

Like I don't think AI art is art in the sense of "human creativity" but I think it's close enough to "fan images" to fall into the category of fan art especially with people posting work by artists from elsewhere. Anyway to avoid relitigating Artist v AI art yet again <@&735928989146939404> Does AI art belong here and if not which channel does it go in?

[modest hare]

Uhhhh, well there’s no rule against it. I can inquire with the CMs though

[quaint tundra]

Gotcha, ty, there were suggestions of another channel (Could also rename this one to 'fan art and images' maybe to avoid confusion?)

[quaint tundra]

Your stuff has nice personality to it btw

do you want constructive feedback?

[analog geyser]

yeah shoot

[quaint tundra]

really like the mood in the 2nd, though the hat is a bit confusing to me design wise. The right hand's knuckles could use a bit more detail- and a bit of texture or like, stray lines on the brown straps would really make them pop?

The stock of #1's rifle is a bit odd where it joins to the body

and well, hands are the artist's bane

mind these are all random nitpicks, the level of detail/greebles is pretty cool and the effort to add personality is definitely a highlight

I take it you're going for a bit of a "tacticool"/realism aesthetic?

[fleet path]

I like how it can recreate 80s movies and stuff

Not like drawings

But stuff that would be hard for even a artist to recreate

Like this

[quaint tundra]

AI as a concept art/stills from movies that never existed generator is definitely one of its best uses, yeah

[fleet path]

In regards to 40k its cool for like

What would a 40k movie look like

[quaint tundra]

I believe AI has potential but honestly the ruling that it's not copyrightable is best for everyone- allows it to stay as what it should have been: inspiration and letting people visualize things that don't exist

[fleet path]

I did geralt from an 80s fantasy movie

As an example

@quaint tundra i also used it to turn my fren into a ps2 character

[fleet path]

if you cry about ai art, you're only telling people youre not good enough to be an artist

[fleet path]

They not gonna like this one lmao

[quaint tundra]

Look phrase that sort of complaint carefully because there's no sense being the mirror image of Luddites accusing people of NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO LEARN ART!111

There are legit reasons to want AI art to be handled carefully

[fleet path]

An A.I. cannot create "art". An A.I. lacks a conscience, a soul; it lacks the ability to "want": the ability to create outside of its programming boundaries. It is lines of code which uses keyword strings to generate images based off a finite database of preexisting images: art which others have already created.

It creates nothing of its own, simply reusing assets readily available.

[weary jetty]

For now.

[fleet path]

Do not fear such primitive machines. They are far below your own abilities to create art of your own accord; a style and feeling put behind every line you create, more than to simply fulfill a purpose.

[weary jetty]

Currently it's merely machine learning, calling it "AI" is technically incorrect.

[fleet path]

An A.I. will never be able to replicate what you create.

[weary jetty]

It isn't intelligent, at least not yet.

[cloud pike]

mimicry is the highest form of praise

[fleet path]

Do not give in to ponzi schemes like "donating" to causes to stop an invisible enemy. You have the power at your own fingertips.

Be confident in oneself.

[quaint tundra]

platitudes aside, the real threat of AI art is someone like Disney that owns their IP using it to replace artists

[fleet path]

That doesn't make any sense, from an illustrator in the industry's standpoint, but it also is a non-issue. They're already a corporate, morally-bankrupt, monopoly overlord.

They're already soulless.

[weary jetty]

Oh, they will. Not only will they be able do anything humans can do but better, faster, more sophisticated.... but not in the next 50y at least.

[fleet path]

Said from the mindset of one who stops creating.

[weary jetty]

That's flawed logic.

Creating such an AI is also an art of creation 😉

[fleet path]

Precisely.

I never said it wasn't.

The A.I. itself is the art.

It's ability, it's speed, it's reasoning. The logic it comprehends when it creates is interesting.

Yet it is also flawed. Much like the "art" it creates.

It does not know what "art" is, it just compiles images together.

[winter lily]

AI art is for chodes ok bai

[weary jetty]

Theoretically an "actually intelligent" artificial intelligence is already possible. the hardware is what holds humanity back, at least current gen. That's why most corporations work towards shortcuts, limiting scope, simplifications.

But a true AGI is something that can be designed with present day IT principles.

[fleet path]

Let people enjoy what they want, how they want it.

[fleet path]

Who says they aren't already in use?

[weary jetty]

The fact that humanity still exists.

[fleet path]

You think too pessimistically.

[weary jetty]

Welcome to 40k.

[fleet path]

Hey, I'm still alive and I get paid to cleave through Poxwalkers, I'm doing alright.

[weary jetty]

From a scientific perspective, there's plenty of plausible explanations for why AGI would be the end of humanity.

Example: Neanderthals.

But I guess that debate is unsuited for the fanart chat 😅

cope prompt user, the only people who say this are seething that no-one takes a 3 second prompt seriously

[analog geyser]

yep

sorry for the late response, i was heading to bed for work

hands are my bane

need to practice more

[quasi tartan]

The only gripe with AI art I have is this misconception some people have come to embrace that entering prompts into midjourney and shitting out pieces in a few seconds has now qualified them to make a career in art viable and then they go and try to sell that to clueless people who will only pay them for as long as they don't know they could pay a few dollars for the software and enter those prompts themselves

Something as simple as revisions completely shatter the "AI artist" 's ability to compete or contribute in a professional production environment since the guy with no art background and midjourney has no understanding of the elements of an art piece to be able to deconstruct it in his mind and apply any number of changes requested to him by the client

[umbral fractal]

i've said it before but, as a concept, ai generated images are pretty neat

but the concept of using art, explicitly against artist's permission, and then rubbing it in their faces in many cases

ethically, ai image generation is not exactly in a good state

it's like if someone made a game map comprised entirely of assets made by others that were not permissed for usages, each texture and model by a different creator

wouldn't you feel a bit shitty if something you worked hard on were blatantly used in a project someone is making money off of without your permission?

yeah, it might just be one miniscule piece of what's been put together, but does that make it fair or any better to you, or the literal tens of thousands of people in the same boat?

[sage gust]

Kamiya is a whackjob, but he got one thing right. Blocking people.

[digital bane]

lmao gerald

[fleet path]

we do a little trolling

[quaint tundra]

Selling AI art is pure delusion ye

[lapis river]

People do that which is incredibly degrading

AI generated images isn’t owned by anyone and anyone who calls themselves an artist when they only use it as a final project piece instead of a tool to improve your actual skills to create art is a waste of potential and uninspiring

AI should always be a tool not the entirety and just the entirely

[fleet path]

I havent seen anyone calling themselves an artist with that

[rare stump]

we had a case like this before on this server
they forgot to delete the prompts from the image's name though

[lapis river]

Which is hilarious

[stray anchor]

i would buy, shit looks baller af

[fleet path]

I create better art than you, I think I know what I'm talking about. Stop projecting onto me because you aren't good enough as an artist to beat a limited A.I. program.

[umbral fractal]

damn bud, you seem like a piece of shit

[umbral fractal]

and what kind of a response is this?

these are all reasons people hate AI images in art channels

[cosmic mesa]

Firstly, pretty yikes/cringe take.

[cosmic mesa]

Secondly, stop dragging the argument and know when nobody is agreeing with you about A.I art, we don't have any rules saying you can't post AI art here but dont come shoving it in the face of the actual artists that post their content here.

[fleet path]

You have pronouns in your username and you're saying I'm cringe?

lmao okay

[cosmic mesa]

Last warning, drop it.

also not sure what pronouns in my name has to do with this but okay

[sand lily]

So slightly off topic question, but this seems like the right place to ask it: I’m trying to find some Iron Warriors art to use as reference for miniature painting, does anyone know any artists or could point me in the direction of some?

It would be appreciated

[fleet path]

what are you looking for specifically?

[sand lily]

Any, just getting a bunch together so I can use them for deciding what would work best

[fleet path]

there's a decent amount of results from google

[sand lily]

Okay thanks

[fleet path]

no problemo

[jovial folio]

guys

guys

The art is real

I love that

[zealous comet]

I feel like this is the stage similar to how people complained about photography in it's early stages.
Sure it's no effort compared to painting the observed object, but it's certainly a lot more convenient to make

[weary jetty]

If your set of beliefs is based on shaming and hating certain people, you may want to rethink

"Cringe" is arbitrary, superficial, closed-minded. Labeling things as "cringe" says more about you than about them.

[cosmic mesa]

An AI generator person telling an artist that they aren't good enough to be an artist because they don't like AI stuff is not exactly a good hill to die on

so yeah

[royal river]

I think ai art is cool a lot of the time but it shouldn't really be on the same level as someone who spends tons of time on something. It's the same reason I prefer to paint my own minis rather than get them painted online with a push of a button

[cosmic mesa]

More or less this yeah.

[weary jetty]

All that said, it's still technically wrong to call it "AI art" since it isn't really artificial intelligence. It is machine learning.

[royal river]

Sounds intelligent enough to be considered heresy to me. Burn it with promethium

[weary jetty]

It's about as intelligent as "you pull a lever, it gives you an image"... except that the thing has a lot of levers.

But then again, "anything sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic"... and most forms of magic are heresy.

I mean, technically it isn't heresy... even what Horus did wasn't "Heresy" but "Apostacy"... but trying to explain that to WH40k fans is like trying to explain Quantum Physics to an unaugmented Ogryn.

[umbral fractal]

i'd mentioned it before but, i imagine a lot of artists don't hate ai image generation for what it is, but how it works

if it were an actual, literal AI creating something from scratch, that'd be cool

but as it stands, it just utilizes existing art, in its entirety to create what it does

which is less than cool since probably a vast majority of people whose art is being used, didn't consent, or explicitly do not want it being used

then folks like come along and poke fun at people for not wanting their work to be used against their consent like that's something to be ashamed of

like, yeesh

[weary jetty]

From my observation, most Artists don't hate ML-Art itself but how it exploits the economy at the core of art-based "industry".

ML-Art remixes. It can not recreate the art it learned from (and if it actually could, it would have failed its most fundamental goal).

But artists feel threatened because ML-Art "endangers" their financial baseline; not because their own art is bad but because ML-art can create things that are "good enough" fast - fast enough and decent to cause a drop in commissions, which a lot of artists rely on. But if the entire field of art wasn't reliant on being "profitable", I'd argue that all of that would change.

Painters (whose goal was replicating reality) felt threatened by photography because that machinery was quicker.

[umbral fractal]

if the datasets these AIs were based upon were ethically sourced, i imagine there'd still be some people who shunned AI generation

but i personally doubt the outcry would've have reached the levels it has

[weary jetty]

I'd argue that the sourcing argument is a red herring.

It's a distraction.

[umbral fractal]

not sure how

should people be okay with their work being used without permission?

[weary jetty]

Why not? Because Copyright and "intellectual property" are so ingrained in our minds that we can't even think outside of the box anymore?

[umbral fractal]

even as a kid i remember one time being upset about a classmate putting stickers on a drawing i made

[weary jetty]

The concept of "Intellectual Property" is a bullying tool. It harms progress, it hinders creativity.

[umbral fractal]

because i worked hard on it, and it's a very basic rationale to not want people messing with things you've owned or created

[weary jetty]

It's a bullying tool in the employ of a greedy economy.

[umbral fractal]

that wasn't my 7 year old mind thinkings about how it's my intellectual property and i have copyright over the piece i created

it's just, a basic reaction

[weary jetty]

Still, it's egoistic.

It's based on hurt pride.

[umbral fractal]

to consider people wielding intellectual property to desperately attempt people from utilizing their works without permission, payment, or anything of such nature as bullying is

frankly ridiculous

you speak as if humans are not emotional, and art is not an emotional process for many people

[weary jetty]

Humans are emotional... but most emotions are harmful, self-destructive even.

[umbral fractal]

and an attempt to protect one's own creation is self destructive?

[weary jetty]

Yes.

Life is growth. The more you try to keep what you created in exactly the shape you created it, you condemn it to DEATH.

[umbral fractal]

and so because of how you feel, you believe the creator should not be allowed to choose how their work lives on, even if it means for it to be death?

should all paintings become public property the moment they are finished, and to burn it be a violation of law?

to suggest a creator should not have ownership and control over their creation is totally, and utterly ridiculous

and frankly i'm not going to even entertain the notion in a serious argument

[weary jetty]

Humans individually are very limited in their capabilities. But if you combine their abilities, their creativity, their thoughts and dreams, they can create something that none of them individually would be capable of.

[umbral fractal]

and so all should be forced into this collective machine?

none should be permissed to be off on their own and entertain their own passions and goals?

[weary jetty]

A heavy-handed approach has never been a good idea.

[umbral fractal]

even if, comparatively minor and inconsequential?

and you would call AI scraping tens of thousand of non-consenting artists anything other than heavy handed?

[weary jetty]

Enabling is better than than prohibiting. Empowering and Insipiring is better than hating and shaming.

[umbral fractal]

empowering and inspiring is only useful for a task generally considered morally acceptable

[weary jetty]

Okay, example. You go to an art gallery. The pieces of art shown there are not yours, you don't own the rights to them... but you'd still be inspired by them in one way or another, no?

[umbral fractal]

yes, but i would not take a copy and feed its exact data into a machine so that it may create a new piece of art

a machine and a mind work very differently, and the machine works off extracting exact data

[weary jetty]

But you did take a copy of that piece of art with your eyes and stored it in your brain.

[umbral fractal]

frankly, i'm just beside myself at this point

i won't bother continuing with this

[slow osprey]

untrue; apostasy is simply renouncing your beliefs where heresy is having views that severely contradict the established tenets of one's faith (or ideology in this case lol)

horus didn't just renounce his allegiance, he straight up tried to build his own shit

arguably it was more comparable to a coup than any church schism, because heresies were smaller in scale and typically confined to regions determining what small subset of their faith was best for them

[weary jetty]

What Lorgar did was apostacy. He rejected and renounced the Imperial Truth of Big-E.

[slow osprey]

in favor of worshipping the four immaterial """gods"""

it'd be apostasy if they fucked off, but they actively try to subvert the current system, changing out the chairman with varying levels of tentacles

[weary jetty]

Not as different as you think. Your brain doesn't store an exact imprint of the art and neither does the ML tool. It stores data on how to replicate certain aspects of what it was shown and how those aspects are associated with certain words/prompts.

When I say "Pablo Picasso" to you, you most likely wouldn't recall any of his individual pieces but you'd certainly remember his style. Same with Van Gosh or Salvador Dali. And with a bit of practice, you might even be able to replicate the SENTIMENT of what your mind associates with the name.

[slow osprey]

i agree fully on the ai art points btw; it's partly why i don't think sentient artificial intelligences are possible. they're a grossly oversimplified form of human learning where they're told stimuli -> response and to apply that pattern in a very specific field.

[umbral fractal]

your words fall on deaf ears, clearly as mine have with yours

[weary jetty]

What would I need to provide to convince you otherwise?

[umbral fractal]

i would ask you the same

[weary jetty]

My argument is that machine learning (and more specifically the neural networks implementation) is essentially an attempt of re-creating the human brain. So, to convince me that "training ML on 'stolen' Art" is wrong, you would have to prove that what an AI does here is fundamentally and effectively different from what humans do. More specifically, you'd need to prove that no human - regardless of how proficient in the craft of creating art - is able to replicate the sentiment and artstyle of another artist merely by looking at it. (and to clarify, not replicating any specific piece but the sentiment - create a piece that looks and feels like the "target artist" created but that wasn't actually created by him/her).

[umbral fractal]

while i cannot personally explain to you, or understand the workings of ai image generation, there is little doubt it is fundamentally, and effectively different from what humans do

if it functioned as a human does it would be much greater news than mere ai generation

[weary jetty]

My point is: can it do anything that humans can not as a result of looking at or storing art that it doesn't own?

[umbral fractal]

regardless as mentioned before, i'm more or less finished with this conversation because it's clear nothing productive will come of it

you dragged me back in by pinging me but, i ask that you don't ping me again

[weary jetty]

(Spoiler: https://marianacustodio.com/the-5-biggest-art-frauds-in-contemporary-art-history/ - Humans are already able to create pieces that deliberately resemble the art style of another artist though in law terms it's called "fraud". One of those cases was so famous / notorious that they're now making a Netflix show out of it.)

[vague vapor]

Legal of the AI stuff aside, I just think it looks kinda bland. Necron ass soulless art.

[vernal comet]

This is true, but not an excuse to steal someones work - whether physical or immaterial.
Your rant against intellectual property sounds like an illphrased concern against modern copyright usage of big companies. THESE misuse the idea behind that.
But if a person creates something - again either physical or immaterial - they should be able control its use and be able to make an living from it, e.g. as an artist or inventor.
Saying people do the same, it's true and you said that's called fraud. Should be the same with AI. But in that case, the person feeding the data the AI use is responsible.
TL;DR also considering your later posts: If you use something that isn't yours, it's stealing or fraud. Whether by person or AI (the latter is just by proxy)

[weary jetty]

So if I create a piece of art that is inspired by another artist (and therefore looks similar), it would be fraud? Or does it depend on how I frame it (aka "it's okay as long as I say that I created it and not the potentially more famous artist")

[vernal comet]

Completely misses the point.
I said steal.
If you are inspired by it and you create something of your own, that may have similarities, you created something of your own. If these similarities are too big - I made the flowers blue, instead if yellow, rest the same. That's not something new. That's stealing while trying to hide the fact.
Usually artists credit their inspirational sources, as this inspiration means something to them and often are grateful for it.

[weary jetty]

"Theft" or "stealing" means that I aquire something that the other person doesn't have anymore afterwards... which technically doesn't apply to digital art.

The word you most likely were looking for is "pirating"

But you bring up an interesting point: technically everything these ML tools create are pieces inspired by other art.

[vernal comet]

And there we are again at intellectual property.
You can steal immaterial things, and that is still theft.
Pirating or stealing, both are still illegal and immoral acquisition.

[vernal comet]

Maybe, but without credit.
You could bring up cover-songs in this context, but these are still with the permission of the original creator

[weary jetty]

Okay, fair. Then the solution would be to properly give credit.

[vernal comet]

I think many would be fine with that. But I think asking for permission is the first step and credit a mandatory action afterwards. And if art is your living, that would need to come with financial compensation.
Bills need to be payed, you can't do that if you work for nothing.
Or others make money from your work

I know people who draw for fun.
They post it on the internet for other to see, to enjoy. Money is not important for them, but someone else taking their creation away hurts them.
If you do art for a living, it's getting way worse

[weary jetty]

(my suggestion is that ML art should be subjected to the same rules / laws that art created by humans is subjected to)

[rare stump]

it is

Using databases of digital art/traditional art preserved in digital form for AI training that can replicate said artstyles - copyright infringement
Whenever you sign up to an art sharing forum you are automatically granted or are allowed to choose the copyright license for your work. If the database contains even a single artwork that, by the author, states No-Derivatives or Non-commercial , it's by law illegal. Seeing how Deviantart and Artstation is faring, that's what going on.

to solve this the databases just need to contain artworks that are public domain, or allowed by authors to be shared/remixed, and preferably don't need to be credited. simple as.

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

[weary jetty]

It is to some extend... but not completely.

[vernal comet]

I agree. ( Or already said that above😉 )
Whether it's beautiful or not...well we talk about art, that's always subjective imo.
But companies using uncredited art without permission is not good.
It either preventing talented people from showing their work to the world, or forcing them to paywall it to prevent theft and fraud.
That way everyone loses

BTW: sorry folks and mods if that got off-topic, but it's one of today's problems in art and without a good and just solution, we'll all suffer from this

[rare stump]

or be scummy about it as a company and change last minute in the guidelines that all artworks are allowed to be used for AI training

[vernal comet]

Yep, there we are at big companies misuing laws and rules for their own profit

[weary jetty]

To get the conversation on-topic again... the solution for fan-art would be to give credit to all art that is posted here - either yourself if you're the artist or whatever ML tool you used or whoever created the commission for you.

Would the Wardens agree to that ("give credit where credit is due") as a rule for future content (or is that already a rule and I missed it)?

That's pretty good!

[umbral fractal]

glad we've finally got an AI image containment unit

[umbral fractal]

looks great, always appreciate some sharpshooters

[quasi tartan]

Nice art and very sexy bolter

I will be watching your career with great interest

I unironically think this goes crazy

Is that a leman russ 2nd row from top

[umbral fractal]

props to the wardens for making their stance clear as well

[dapper crest]

Yeah

[analog citrus]

that leman russ gunning the daemon down goes hard

[quasi tartan]

Good shit

[dapper crest]

Thankies
Good to see other fellow artist prise my work

[quasi tartan]

I don't draw, but I can appreciate the effort you put into expressing your ideas

You even drew the chainaxe in last row too if im seeing that correctly. God bless that terrible shittyass weapon

[dapper crest]

This isnt effort. This was a shitpost to own the "youre not an artist" people

[cosmic mesa]

ıts kind of amazing how much 40k's design language can come across from a simple drawing like that

[umbral fractal]

reminds me of how commissioners always love when their clients doodle stick figures as an example of what they'd had in mind

[umbral fractal]

any form of effort is better than none at all

[quasi tartan]

And you made it with your own hands

Lol

That alone is already above

[cosmic mesa]

You dropped this king 👑

[dapper crest]

On a phone using my finger bring rushed at work
Again this isnt effort, this is a shitty b8 meme

[umbral fractal]

while you may not be proud of your creation, you did create something

[quasi tartan]

You put more effort into your little troll meme than what most AI prompters do into what they call art I hope that occurs to you

[dapper crest]

Feel like you guys would take photos of a banana taped to a wall in a art museum

[umbral fractal]

bud, we're messing with you

[shy void]

Stick to the thread #1055665314014167181

[dapper crest]

But its not AI art

[shy void]

Your post is argumentative.

Thread.

[analog citrus]

its my new phone background so be proud

[dapper crest]

But it was 40k art was it not?

[analog citrus]

nooo whyd you delete it

[shy void]

Have a timeout

Stick argumentative posting about AI algorithms in the thread, or get muted. I’m not gonna be nice about this. If y’all are gonna keep stepping out of line I’ll look into banning AI Art and it’s discussion altogether. Capiche?

[umbral fractal]

crystal clear

[quaint tundra]

may as well add "AI art goes in thread" to the topic

[shy void]

Will do

Oh wait I can’t do that I’ll poke the right people tho

[sage gust]

I see da AI art, I block'em

[hard minnow]

drown out the topic with art

sadly eddy has took a break but everyone deserves a break

[sage gust]

I see a lot of photobashing techniques, that person mightve just gotten some work in the meantime

[hard minnow]

hopefully its work yeah

[sage gust]

Photobashing professionals for concept art are absolute monsters for the concept art world, got taught by one, it was a good time

[hard minnow]

what is photobashing?

is it where you take a reference imagine and draw on top of it?

[sage gust]

kind of

you take portions of real images and use it collage style and build on top of it

[hard minnow]

cause this is clear as day atleast inspired by pacific rim

he shows his WIP's on insta

[sage gust]

that would be like a pastiche for art, references and what not

i mean referencing something

[hard minnow]

i dont think his artstyle is photobashing

[sage gust]

the ultramarine jump pack art, has a few 3D renders in it, thats been referenced i think

[hard minnow]

https://i.gyazo.com/d439e2d37bb14e5361b5fae810b92cf7.jpeg

just by going off his WIPS

[quaint tundra]

...Isn't that kinda tracing?

[sage gust]

like this i did

[analog citrus]

i see elements of matte painting, but thats a widely used method throughout by professionals

[sage gust]

modelled in 3D

then drawn over with added elements

obviously im like 0.1 % of their skill

but this is how a lot of concept artists drop art super super quick

[quaint tundra]

Huh.

[sage gust]

they're 3D generalists, painters, sketchers, and what not

[quaint tundra]

So it's like a mix of 3D modelling and painting?

[sage gust]

they have a super broad skill set

[quaint tundra]

that's actually legit interesting

[hard minnow]

i mean its obvious what this is based on

[sage gust]

as my teachers said "if you know how to 3D model, you can draw faster because all you need to do is build, and draw over it and adjust it"

my photobash teacher considered this to be really good, despite being so simple

[analog citrus]

why learn perspective when you can just model the scene in 3d and double the fun

[hard minnow]

good way of adding depth to the painting

[sage gust]

you still need perspective and photography knowledge before you can effectively make the 3D scene good

[sage gust]

the Code Lyoko artist did that, he was one of the first few artists in the world to start drawing on photoshop

[quaint tundra]

Sounds more like 3D modelling/photography with traditional art elements

[analog citrus]

heres a matte painting i did using real photos for textures

[sage gust]

its everything, which is why I fear Photobashing Artists, there is nothing they cant do

[hard minnow]

im not a artist i just enjoy the colours and shapes 😄

[analog citrus]

at the end of the day its just about making pretty pictures

[sage gust]

ye

[hard minnow]

wish i could get a techmarine model like this

want a tech marine in gravis armour

[sage gust]

also one of the few things ive been drawing

[quaint tundra]

hmm jump pack and sword supposed to be that scale?

[sage gust]

ye, I'm super inspired by the old justice league stuff, so I really like to exagerrate a few things

[analog citrus]

pls finish it

[sage gust]

Ive done things like normally and concept art-ty

[quaint tundra]

hmm justice league as in the tV series?

[sage gust]

but like most artists i branched out to breaking form a bit

[sage gust]

ye, love it

[quaint tundra]

tbh I'm not sure oversizing is the way to get that across

Justice league went for more clean, simple designs I think?

[sage gust]

inspired dont mean i need to copy the actual semiotics of the art

[quaint tundra]

sure, I'm not saying yours is bad just that I don't see the inspiration in the exaggeration

BTW the sword looks a bit crooked?

[sage gust]

its tilted in an angle that foreshortening makes it look weird

[shy void]

God I love 40k swords sometimes, they’re so goofy

Like how does that handle not snap like a twig

[quaint tundra]

the jump pack vents, as an inorganic add on, should be parallel to ecah other right

[sage gust]

ye, I've been dreading to reach the point where I needed to adjust it

gotta pull out the ruler tool

[sage gust]

Ancient Age of Strife secrets

[quaint tundra]

should the storm bolter be shorter up front than in back?

[cosmic mesa]

shorter upfront deffo

[sage gust]

I've always considered them to be huge, even for none termies, so its just massive on the arm

[quaint tundra]

and is that storm bolter feed in...a floating bowl of holy water?

the chain and blooddrop is very intricate

[river pilot]

Most things in 40k is goofy. That's why I love it so much.

[sage gust]

mag box

alongside the sword, the two weapons are primarily symbols of office

the sword, aside from being a guts sword reference, (its also based on the Cathedral Knight Great Sword from Dark Souls 3), is also what I think a large Heavy Photonic Blade from Baal would look like

with half and half thoughts from Dark Souls Black Knight weapons where, the weapons were more meant to fight things much larger than the user kinda thing

Plz leave

[uneven sundial]

Least do this shit in the damn AI art thread

[rotund echo]

Been enjoying Darktide and wanted to make some Warhammer art

[quaint tundra]

hmm maybe the trim would benefit from some texture (lines) or being offwhite

[rotund echo]

Yeah I was thinking of going back and adding some shadows, highlights, etc but that's gonna be for tomorrow

[uneven sundial]

Great base regardless my guy

[gloomy quail]

I feel like I'm supposed to see something here - But my Guardsman eyes just can't see anything.

[fleet path]

damn thats actually sick

[fleet path]

put some crackling lightning on the sword

[frosty arrow]

we have the means to make infinite art and ppl are salty as hell

[umbral fractal]

maybe you missed the message and aren't being instigatory, but discussion of ai art now belongs in the associated thread

[quaint tundra]

sigh

[umbral fractal]

@unkempt gulch the AI boys are back

[fleet path]

clean it up jannies

[fleet path]

asking for the hall monitor lmao

[frosty arrow]

oh no ai art was mentioned time to shut everything down and get a mod. chill

go back to posting art

[quaint tundra]

may as well get the amogus out of the way :/

(seriously though, the AI thread is there :V)

[frosty arrow]

hey if you post another art piece about ai art i win a free icecream sunday

btw good lines i cant do anything as well as you

[sage gust]

I just block’em

https://tenor.com/view/danny-devito-guns-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-gif-17984271

If it works for the Imperial Inquisition itll work for me here

[frosty arrow]

youll note it doesnt work for them in universe lmao

[uneven sundial]

Holy shit shut up about the AI art in here

[frosty arrow]

i agree draw something that doesnt talk about ai art

[crimson cosmos]

No

[uneven sundial]

Bring this over to the thread at least!

[frosty arrow]

post art thats all im asking

[uneven sundial]

Anime tiddie okay?

[umbral fractal]

will ping the <@&735928989146939404> before i head off to bed, hopefully they can resolve some of this

[frosty arrow]

yes actually if the mods will not ban it

[cosmic mesa]

[frosty arrow]

thats fair

[shy void]

What part of “stick to the containment thread” was hard to understand

[crimson cosmos]

The "stick to the containment thread" part, probably dosent help it isnt a seperate channel

[shy void]

Pins are a thing

[crimson cosmos]

That nobody looks at in my experiance

[shy void]

Skill issue

[weary jetty]

Part of me wants to see a comic of an Ogryn looking at Discord confused and asking the Veteran what "pins" are 😂

"Sah, they keep talking about Pins. What's that? New weapon? New rations? Can you show to Grogg?"

[sharp solar]

Not sure if it counts as fan art, but I felt the need to re-write 12 days of Christmas to be about Darktide. Hope you find it funny! 😄

Its was indeed.... Hilarious

Someone said to add lightning, and it was quite the fine addition

Hey guys, i created an artwork for darktide, could you give me some opinions, criticism even?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906313883

[shy void]

I’m a sucker for Polaroids so I say very yes

[uneven sundial]

I love it

[quaint tundra]

maybe some intentional glossiness/damage/less than perfect photography

ie: add filters to the photos, or little tears or something

[rugged lagoon]

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated

[rugged lagoon]

And thats actually a damn good idea man, if i make a new one i will surely do that.
