Summary

I am an aspiring creative looking to use AI as a tool to both produce art and use it to modify my own. My goal is to learn 2D editing and painting as well as incorporating programs like Blender and Maya into my workflow to produce meaningful, creativity driven content that is mine and mine alone.

I remain humble and appreciative of the giants whose shoulders I stand on and hope only to create things not derivative of their work, but in service of it and their efforts that allow me to have this life changing journey into the world of art appreciation and production. I will do everything in my power to stay true to that statement.

After a large interest in my prints at FWA I will be much more active on the platform. Stay tuned this coming week of 5/14 for a fully transparent tutorial of how I made my prints using my own sketches as a base and feeding it iteratively through the AI using StableDiffusion and A111.

I am always open to feedback from artists and want to hear your opinions about the medium and things that you feel need to change or things that I might be doing that would take me away from my mission statement of transparency and respect in regards to art as a medium. Please send me questions or concerns and I will gladly have an open, honest discussion with you and address any questions you might have about using your own art with AI in your workflow.

Commissions are open through Artstation for now as I do not want to get into tiered subscriber sites like Patreon until I get some new tools (a much better GPU) and have further refined a method to take as many artists out of the pool of images as possible.
