Im glad you addressed this because your recent post was noticeably different. If your going to use ai, just be honest about using it. With the latest post it visually looks great but there were small signs that gave away you were using AI editing. (Top Abs looked a little off, enhanced texture isnt bad its just noticeably different from your original work) Again, really love your work I’ve been supporting you for years, please consider being more transparent in the future from the get go 👍🏻

Properly set lighting would help produce results like the AI.

I think you could achieve the AI results using conventional editing.

I prefer the body of the og render but the hair and background details of the AI are better

You’re the artist here, I like whatever you like!

You're right, and I'll do that! Thanks for the feedback and support 💜

I agree, T. Well, I just started experimenting with this new method. And adjusting the lighting too much takes time, some minute details that it brings, such as water droplets on the character's skin, wet hair... I would probably take more than a week just on that. It would be an option to speed things up... Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, you're right, but we would have to consider it. In trying to achieve this realism done entirely by myself, it's impossible to have updates every week here. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, gal.

Thanks for your support, Chris 💜

Lighting is the hardest thing in 3D modeling.... Ugh...

Personally would prefer no Gen AI for environmental reasons, but both look great

I generate the images locally on my graphics card, so I don't think it has much impact. But thanks for the feedback!

I actually don't like the recent plague of AI taking over the 3D comic artists and animators I love. AI is unethical and using it is unethical. Paying for it is feeding and sending a signal to those big corporation that we want more of them interfering in the creative market and forcing everyone to either adapt or die. I hear you talk about achieving realism with 3D but is it really what we are here for ? There is so much more to take into account : composition, design, mise en scene, script, ideas, all for the the purpose of giving life to this fantasy, and as an artist you know that those artistic choices matter far more than any AI slop or persuit of realism (the same problem has been plaguing mainstream video games for a moment now). As long as you do that, we'll be happy. You don't have to feel like you need to adapt really. Also think of what control over your art you are giving up to AI. Those details weren't your decisions, and over multiple panels, you know you can't trust AI to be consistent. And from what I've seen from those AI helped animation videos, they were kinda disappointing. I was waiting for the good part (that I know YOU know how to make happen) but it never came. I felt them very limited. I felt YOU very limited by this tool. You know why ? It has far less imagination than you ! So yeah, that's kinda what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of what might be lost. If you really feel like you need to "keep up" with AI, could you always give us the original renders you did before putting it through the AI filer ? So that the chunk of your audience that doesn't want to indirectly support a system they are opposed to isn't forced to look at it.

You're right, my friend. I've been thinking about the new DLSS too. I went back and looked at the last few pages of “The Lake,” and I really went overboard there. I'm rewriting them now; I need to think it through more carefully.

Don't beat yourself up though ! I know renders take time and we all live under this capitalist society that pressures you to be productive and it's hard to find the right balance between art and business. I empathize with the pressure and getting tricked into feeling like AI is this magic solution it's marketed as. But we both know it's not :/ Really glad you are taking a step back from it though ! Makes me hopeful for the future and proud to support you !
