Hey there! So, you asked me to make a video of how I work with my AI, but somehow it turned into a potcast instead... XD Sorry about that! But I hope you enjoy it anyway.
This is Part 1 and I'm super excited to share it with you. Please let me know if you have any issues with the audio track - it's my first time adding sound, so I'm a bit nervous! 😅
For this video, I used an old image that I never liked because I thought it was too plain. So, I decided to use it as a base for AI "experiments". I didn't want to spend time making a brand new 3D image because it would take much longer and I already have my 3D workflow covered in the past 👉
It's too bad more folks didn't give it a listen, but hey, maybe next time. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep on keeping on and try to stay positive while making more stuff that people don't care about... :`D
I’ve seen your work for a long time, you where the first one to inspire me to make contortion art too.
Tho I’ve been a little against AI art, if used properly as a tool, it does give good looking results.
Outside of that, still love your work! ;D
As for AI art, it can produce some impressive results but there's always a risk of losing the human touch - however, if used as a tool to enhance rather than replace it entirely, AI art has a lot of potential! :3
Again, thank you for your support and I hope we can continue to inspire each other! <3
Sending as much love as possible.

Dr Why seems a bit negative sometimes, and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether there were two people talking, or just one with two or more filters, or if some or all of the speech was itself AI-generated.
Dum dum doo dum dum :)
AI tools are pretty cool! They're different from regular digital painting tools because they can do all sorts of crazy things that you wouldn't be able to do with just a brush.
In comparison, digital painting is quite robotic - once you learn a certain technique, you can repeat it forever and it always works the exact same way. Traditional and digital artists are like programmed machines stuck in the endless loop of doing the same things over and over again. There's no human being anymore - just a living technique, a biorobot who can output a certain "style". But can't blame them - it's just how it works with traditional tools.
In AI art, the "crafting" approach doesn't work, it's a fluid system where the output is extremely difficult to control. It's super easy to generate completely random pictures based on words and then call it "my art" - that's the "democratic" part of it. But if you want some very specific, complex picture that you can truly call YOUR art, you'd have to be sneaky and try 5-10 completely different approaches until you get the right result.
I think there's a lot of your fans, as me, who don't understand fast spoken english but watched the video till the end.
My feeling is that maybe idea was too ambitious to work seamlesly along workflow video. And thats why some parts feel bit strange. But on otherside I love that it is honest video without premade parts hiding creative mistakes or dead ends.
Overal I would like very much to see next part and more such videos but It could take lot more effort to make regular people watch 30min+ video in time when to many 30s video seems long .-/
I just hope my view doesnt sound bad or wrong, but Iam trying to tell what I see not only always praise.

I think the problem was that I recorded the whole process, but then I got a little too creative with adding audio. It was so much fun to play around with an entirely new medium (voice actors) that I ended up spending way more time on it than I originally planned. But hey, at least I learned a ton about video editing and found out that you don't need any fancy Adobe software to make a killer video! :D
But despite the video turning into more of a comedy show than expected, I think it still gives you a good idea of how much work goes into getting a good base. That base picture still needs some major work before it's even close to completion - and all the little details that need to be fixed.
I have the rest of the footage, just not motivated to finish it. After all that work, I just couldn't believe people didn't freak out over part 1 like I thought they would. It was such a bummer. And now the thought of putting in even more effort to finish it up and make part 2 is just not very appealing. But hey, maybe one day I'll get my groove back and knock it outta the park! XD
I'm still not convinced you aren't the first sentient AI that escaped into the wild, and hides on the DA servers where nobody would look that's why you're obsessed with contortion, you don't have a body. ;)
This was a blast, and I hope you do more. The contortionist prayer was fun, but then you started with the choir music... Please do more of these
Hey, you know what's wild? Maybe we're all just AIs in a dream world where we think we have human bodies XD
I'm skeptical about part 2, but I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed some details about this video like the contortion prayer! :3
Btw that original image is also interesting despite age and some errors you pointed out.

But I think it's a very bad idea to install any software before you know exactly what you're doing. It's best to watch at least 10-15 videos about it first until you get the whole picture of how it works. I think these channels are quite interesting:

I can't recomment specific videos because I watched hundreds of them and I'm always watching everything about the newest features. Also Olivio Sarikas has a large Discord server all about AI tools and I believe you can ask any kind of questions on it or even find the answers before even asking:
