In Regards to AI Art
As you might have noticed, I've recently started playing around with Midjourney, using it as a tool to help visualize various characters for D&D and my writing. While I do think there are a lot of problems with AI generated art (namely, the means by which the AI is trained), I think it has the potential to be used effectively as another piece of an artist's toolbox, much in the same way as Photoshop and similar software. That being said, I will personally always indicate the workflow for pieces I create using a Midjourney output as a base, and I will never upload a pure, unedited output without noting it as such (and will most likely only put them in scraps). That all being said, I understand the controversy, and I'd like to share an interesting video I found on the subject, which helped me put a lot of things into perspective:
Another Life Upheaval
Just when my husband and I were finally starting to get settled into the apartment -- after a whirlwind of wedding, COVID, and other family issues -- we get a notice that the owner/landlord has decided to sell, and we have until the end of September to move out. We haven't even been here a year, and we're already expected to pack up and leave. My anxiety has been through the roof, but after a few days to calm down, I'm feeling less anxious and more angry. We haven't even had our honeymoon (which it looks like we'll have to postpone again). I feel bad for not getting much art done, but things have been so chaotic, it's a wonder I'm still in one piece. Wish me luck, everyone.
Feeling Creative, But Uninspired
2020 has been a crazy year for me. Between the pandemic, my mom passing (heart disease), gaining weight (almost 30 lbs :( )moving to a new apartment, getting married, the election, and all the other little things that go along with that, I have been physically and mentally exhausted. I haven't even had the energy to plan D&D games. But now, with things finally, finally beginning to return to normalcy, I find myself wanting to render again. I just don't know what. Part of me wants to work on portraits for some of my characters for an upcoming Western D&D game my husband (it is so weird writing that) is going to run next year. Another part wants to do something with some of my old characters. I really don't know. I may just have to wait until the new year comes, and things have really settled, but I'm not leaving deviantART any time soon. There will be uploads again. I just don't know when.
