Games workshop designers sometimes make the ugliest models. But with lore as interesting as warhammer, it can be disheartening to see such cool ideas left in the garbage with the production of ugly miniatures. Today, I'm using AI to recreate some of games workshops worst models with the hope of creating something to live up to the epic darkness of the far future.

It's really gross that you're contributing to the popularization of ai just to further your own youtube career. Are you paying subsidiaries to all the artists whose work was amalgamated and used to not only train the ai, but create your image? No? So you're stealing from them as well. Shameful as another female artist who looked up to you for standing up for our rights, but clearly you're in this for yourself and happy to step on other creators doing so. Lost an avid fan.

a bit of a personal gripe but i always get kind of annoyed when people try and speculate to why a design is weird (EG new huge gun space marines) they usually get there after a bunch of rounds of revisions from different people. its almost never an artist phoning it but more likely an art director or a franchise person who cant effectively explain the direction they want to take it so just kind of compromise on something that hits the notes but kind of lacks overall appeal
@Mabufu381 Жыл бұрын
This. Both me and my partner are concept artists, and its almost never the one you think is the strongest and best one youve designed that gets picked. Theres always a pull away from artist vs director/audience and it can sometimes end in an awkward midground if neither party want to compromise. Also, while they may be “derpy” to Lyla, none of the minis (apart from the ancient genestealers models) are bad, (especially Lauka Via, even though i would do things differently i think its stunning) they are just polarising and trying to do something unique. Lyla “fixing” them with AI isnt improving the existing design, its just dumbing it down to the lowest most generic form possible, which is what AoS models in particular really try to avoid. These might not be her fav, your fav or my fav but theyre absolutely multiple someones favourite.

I think I get what you're saying Lyla Mev . The Fiends of Slaanesh do look "derpy?" But the redesign sort of looks like a whole new monster/ daemon / nightmare creature of some kind. I think the existing model works because Chaos and maybe Slaanesh in particular are supposed to be a mess of ideas because the powers of Chaos can't make sense of our material universe.

It can't quite nail the level of inspiration and creativity that humans can muster. That last Genestealer take looked like an evil chameleon, with the eyes especially giving that vibe. I agree that the Slaanesh demon was the best of the lost because good grief, that model is derpy.

for the average person the pictures it creates are already 'good enough' that they will put people like you out of business.

The genestealer does not six limbs?.. Thank you for the vid. I have been trying to explain to people that it is just another art form. Like all art it takes practice and skill to learn. You proved this with this video. Yes I like AI but I also like many other types of art. Yours for example is one of my favourite. Will yours skill and ability be replaced by AI. NO because they are YOURS. You bring something unique, just alike all artists. the more I think on this I now really want GW to bring out A derpy line of minis !! they would be so fun to paint as they are meant to be funny.
@NotTheStinkyCheese Жыл бұрын
Yes ... there is skill in getting good results out of it, just like it takes skill to take good looking pictures with a photocamera instead of handpainting it. the problem is that people use it to generate a ton of crap at a rate no human can ever hope to match while not acknowledging the fact that they used it. The even bigger problem is that we don't know whose assets were used to train the AI as the program isn't explaining how it got the results, which means that even in a best case scenario the source artists aren't rewarded for their work.
