@davidrevoy I think I've figured something that might be the reason why some people feel like your art feel generated, it's the text bubbles. 

I know the text comes from SVGs since that's what you use for translations. I think this makes the text look a bit out of place, a bit too sharp. Siince GenAI uses separates layer like this to generate sensible text it can have this similar "out of place" look.

@davidrevoy I've seen your art before but once I realized the transition I was blown away 🤩

[sgued@pouet.chapril.org]

@davidrevoy It's a shame though that people just have a feeling, don't bother checking, and just go straight to commenting their feeling as fact

@davidrevoy @catsalad PSA: "glaze" and "nightshade" are two filter you can add on your drawings that are purposely made for poisoning ai trainig

@sgued It's likely also because @davidrevoy also has a large body of work freely available under a Creative Commons license, so a lot of AI has been trained on it.

@davidrevoy For some reason it reminds me of a Russian idiom "назло бабушке отморожу уши" (English analogy: "I'll cut off my nose to spite my face").

But drawing is still nice

[toerror@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@davidrevoy YES.

[nullthefool@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@davidrevoy That art transition OMG!!!

[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?

@realFedix @davidrevoy @catsalad these are unfortunately not reliable spylab.ai/blog/glaze/

@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...

[mrdk@mathstodon.xyz]

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

[artsalgod@kinkycats.org]

@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.

[brunoscheele@mastodon.social]

@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!
