This isn't the case. Midjourney doesn't receive any VC money since it has no investors and this ignores genned imagery made locally off your own rig.

This series started as an [adultswim] short called Scavengers. "Reign" was added afterward to make it distinct from what was effectively the pilot, which had a more minimalist approach but featured the same themes that were featured throughout the series.

Loved both. Definitely recommend the Scavengers pilot AFTER the main series Scavengers Reign though.

That's not how it works or ever will work.

The of the first episode of my Ai series Beyond The Valley ends with this fun fact. This meme nails my intention perfectly chefs kiss Thanks for sharing.

Commercial interest wants to see free communities like this die out. I won't name names.

Hey just wanted to say I'm stoked to see artists on Lemmy. Take care!

 

This is the animated version of this comic.

If you like this sorta silliness, you can find my socials on my website or throw a coffee at my face.

Here's a full breakdown instead (warning: big file)

The whole comic is actually Ai but the characters, especially Victor, are derivative of traditional sketches and character art. I essentially establish the composition with Ai then superimpose my own style on top of it.

I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who's been using AI since Thanksgiving '21 and Midjourney since the beta release as well as open source alternatives like Stable Diffusion. You can read the comic in full here: https://www.victorgnarly.com/stories/project-four-l3zw3-sl66r

 

Hi! I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who has been using generative imagery for about a year now. My take is very nuanced without a cheering endorsement or condemnation of Ai imagery. If anyone has questions or comments, please post them below. Thanks for watching.

Had to clear my browser catch to log in, Jerboa still shows as not logged in even after logging out which you do by clicking the hamburger menu then click the top banner to change/log out of accounts. This post is a test to see if my account works again via browser lol.

Edit: clearing app data/cache for Jerboa fixed the login issue.

 

Now before y'all throw pitchforks at me for a number of simplifications I made here, I did so with intent so let me break them down real quick.

  1. Threads is not yet federated. The whole discussion of should or shouldn't we federate with the zucks is not the subject of this piece. Rather, it's that many of us came to Lemmy to escape much of what is on commercial social media in the first place. I found this post ironic in that sense which is why I made it.

  2. Digital pollution is a catch all for data pollution, generative spam, devaluation of digital media, link rot, algorithmic monotony and climate change caused by mining + generative tech. I really didn't want to get into the nitty gritty of the internet's zombification with this comic so that's the phrase I went with.

  3. Antithetical is a bit extreme of a statement but I do not believe that you can have artificial scarcity if generative tech exists. There will inevitably be a few cryptobros that really hate this take but oh well.

  4. I am unapologetic about my use of Ai because most of my comics are about Ai's impact on entertainment. Although I am relatively sure this crowd isn't as offended as the art communities, I had a career in Hollywood VFX before my current job as a creative consultant. And I'm old enough that Ai feels like deja vu to the emergence of digital art and then 3D which ended my first career in stopmotion effects. In short, been there done that!

Thanks for reading. More of my stuff is available at GnarlyComics.com

So that settles it. We have an option if meta federated and it goes to shit. Lemmy.world's stance is correct. Let's just see how this goes.

Yeah I recognize it's a decision from the admins here, but it's one I approve of heavily for reasons said when I posted this to the fediverse channel. The motivation behind posting is less tainted this way.
