Joining the art revolution.
2 years ago
Thoughts, and various mad ramblings.
So, I'd heard of it once or twice before but I never really thought much about it. I only just now decided to get into AI art, specifically using Midjourney for things like landscapes, architecture, still-life and so on.
I realize that there's been controversy over it, but the God's honest truth is that I like exploring concepts in my stories visually, and I don't make any real money from my premium stories and I work a skilled-trade for a living.
I can't afford, nor could I put up with, a human artist who fails to meet deadlines or struggles to comprehend my ideas, especially more abstract things like sci-fi tech, temples and the like.
I've already begun exploring themes from Tales of Morveria, like Hitrosii crystal towers, The Order's chalice symbol, the Ilium Rose, steampunk automatons, etc. It's very inspiring!
Anyway, since FurAffinity is one of those Draconian websites that bans the stuff, if anyone is curious to see what I'm cooking up, here's a link to my album. It shows everything, but I've designated a Tales of Morveria album, and more will follow for other stories and universes.

I'm also considering using a service like Squarespace to make my own website, since I've been encountering problems with people subscribing on Patreon and then immediately refunding it. I mean I'm already charging the lowest I'm allowed to. "Come on, man!" Again, I digress... If I go that route, I'll post my AI art there, too.
