AI Art – Nyghtfall3D

Say what you will about AI, it’s not going anywhere. I didn’t know it was a thing until March 2023, and shunned it almost immediately. I spent the rest of that year learning everything I could about it, so I could better defend my position, and wound up adding it to my own toolkit after all.

Ethical issues aside, it’s an incredibly powerful tool that even a lot of professional artists have embraced. And for artists like myself, who share a strong preference for photorealism, the tech is a godsend for projects where physically-based render engines like Iray and Octane won’t suffice. Nevertheless, I’ve given my AI art its own section because I understand that it remains a highly divisive medium.

Today, I use AI to enhance my Daz renders, and to produce images that are impossible to create with Daz. I’ve also categorized them accordingly. Unfortunately, the generative nature of AI precludes it from being used to create long-form comics where consistent character details are required. Therefore, all of my AI work is limited to one-offs and single-page comics.
