The Aesthetic Rebellion

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@davidrevoy I've been a long time fan of your work, and I've always found your style and skill to be aspirational. I was shocked and disappointed to find out all too many people were confusing it for AI.

I love what is going on in panel 3 especially with the intense prismatic color and complex textural contrasts. If this is a statement about what is to come, I'm excited to see where you go with this. If not, fuck the tin can, I still love your work as much as always.

@davidrevoy y’know what, I went to a couple of exhibitions of German expressionists last week - Franz Marc and such - and this is sort of similar.

I love it!

@davidrevoy Is it ok if I prefer Panel 2 Cepper?

@davidrevoy This is great, I'm curious how art will change and develop coming years.

As many here, I always enjoyed your work and it was obvious from the go that they used it extensively for their models.

@davidrevoy You may be the frontrunner of a new art style... AntiAIism...

@davidrevoy Do you want to continue drawing your comics in this style? It won't be bad.

@davidrevoy no data is ugly, all is useful for training styles.

@davidrevoy PFFFF the bird is so shocked. He's literally clutching his pearls.

I like how he doesn't love the painting because it's beautiful or well made, but because he can personally benefit from it.

Also, the hilarious irony of all the yellows in the last panel, but they're the wrong yellow for the training data.

@davidrevoy Just noticed on my second read-through that the entire panel is taking on the not-for-AI style. Nice

[zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net]

@brunoscheele @davidrevoy Same here!

[kronogarrett@meow.social]

@davidrevoy *That* is impressive work.

@davidrevoy

This reminds me so much of the transition that painting went through after the invention of photography. It went... wild. Mostly moving away from representation. Pre-Raphaelite notwithstanding.

I already see street art and creativity from teens becoming less refined in response to AI art.

Interesting times.

@davidrevoy

I think you should experiment with Dadaism or maybe play around with Picasso’s styles.

It’s all the rage I hear

[leah@chaos.social]

@davidrevoy I love it!

[jak@defcon.social]

@davidrevoy for what it worth, your panels with Cepper and the Avian Intelligence are the best representation of my feelings, although on a different field. The fact these systems, with their capabilities of generating enormous amounts of slop, basically rob us of what took years to refine.

And this is how I often feel.

Robbed.

@davidrevoy
That's very cool

[sassinake@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy

after photography was invented, so was abstract painting and a whole bunch of styles (fauvisme, cubisme, expressionisme) that strayed from the painstaking 'realism' of the time

@davidrevoy awwww 🥰
