MORE ON AI-GENERATED ART AND CLUB SUBMISSIONS

May 27, 2024

Dear Members, As you all know, we have already addressed the topic of AI-generated artwork and the club’s stance on it. We believe uncontrolled AI is a serious threat to human creativity and a very useful tool for those lacking principles when it comes to abusing other people’s work for their own satisfaction or benefit. Yes, we have all heard and read that this rejection of AI “art” is ridiculous, narrow-minded, and of course, futile… “AI is the future”, some people say, as a means to justify everything, from a “harmless little inspirational nudge” when writing a school project, to virtually stealing some artist’s creation and claiming it as theirs. Some even go as far as describing ‘prompt writing’ as a proper form of artistic expression, not different from writing a novel or a screenplay. Problem is, these people don’t execute “their artistic vision” with their own tools and skills, no, they steal other people’s talents and efforts without a second thought. Well, in this club we

On AI generated art in the club

Hello Silmarillion fandom, we need to address this case since more and more generated images appear in the club. :yakuza: tl;dr :bulletred: We do not accept AI generated art :bulletred: What is "Ai art"? It is a computer generated image based on prompts given by a program user and as such it is rather a result of art direction than an art creation itself. And BTW, there is no self conscious AI involved in the process, it doesn't exist, yet. It is a result of an advanced computer program generating images based on text commands. In other words a human is giving a command to create "an image of X in style of Y" and a computer program like Midjourney, DALL-E or DreamUp here at dA generates it. It is the mythical "create art button" that never existed in Photoshop (till now, they are working on their own Ai generator). For more detailed information on what is AI art please go to the Concept Art Association explanation and support the case if you agree with it. I also encourage

Welcome to the Quenta Silmarillion, sit yourself down by the fire and hear the stories of old. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Tolkien Illustrator’s First Aid Kit: Elves Tolkien’s texts are notable for their abundance of characters, many of them mentioned perhaps only once, other playing very important parts in the stories. However, it is often very difficult to find any description of how those characters look, and this is what we, artists and illustrators, are usually most concerned with.:) So here it is – Tolkien Illustrator’s First Aid Kit:woohoo: – a list of all those characters, whose physical appearance is mentioned in the texts, ...

I remember reading The Silmarillion back when I was 16, and it was one of my favorite books.

Good memories

Hi, I haven't read the book in years so I have a question. I vaguely remember a story about an elf who wasn't good like all the others and kidnapped a female elf? Do you guys know who that was?
