I can't imagine an scenario where BG3 doesn't win the GOTY.

 

The goal of this post is to discuss whenever "AI art" is good, bad, or irrelevant to graphic novels.

I have been playing around with AI image creation tools since last year. Midjourney first, then Dalle, and most recently Stable Diffusion.

All images in this post I "created" using Moebius based text prompts today. The quotation marks are intended as the only thing I have created are text prompts. Whenever the AI created these images is highly debatable. If I feed an AI model ten thousand panels of Moebius art and the AI returns one panel based on them, then who is the creator?

Feel free to discuss the legality (copyright) of this technology, who should get the royalties or the credit. Or to discuss whenever it is ethical, but what is really interesting to me is to determine if this technology is good, bad or irrelevant for us, graphic novels readers.

I know that a true connoisseur is likely to differentiate within the below images and the true work from Moebius, but for how long? We are at the verge of reaching a point where this differentiation will be impossible. Moebius passed away in 2012, so this differentiation may be possible with external tools, but what about living artists? Furthermore, what if a living artist publishes a book using AI generated art based on his own work. Is that acceptable? Should the artist disclose the AI use to the public? All that will probably come with regulation, or not, who knows.

I prefer human-made art before computer-made art, especially when it comes to graphic novels. This despite knowing that some of the artists that I follow already use CGI to a greater or lesser extent, that is fine... But AI generated art is in another level, something that I do not want to welcome with open arms. Having said that, is the same as with any other technology, like it or not, it is here to stay.

So what is your opinion on this matter?

P.S: I believe I am not breaking any community rule, but if I am then please delete this post.

I also use Automatic 1111 and get my models from Civitai. I just wasn't familiar with the model you are using. I will check it out. Thanks.

Is this just the model and the VAE or you use something else to create all these?

If you could share your workflow that would be great. Thanks.

I have eaten in an Ethiopian restaurant once and didn't enjoy it.

Their food is way too spicy and the Injera too sour.

Of course this is just my taste... Others may love it, specially if spicy food is their thing.

This is my first time reading a book on the "The Obscure Cities" series and I loved it. The art and the story were unique and intriguing.

The authors worked on the book in the mid-eighties and contacted Orson Welles to base the main character likeness on him! This is probably one of the last Welles collaborations in any medium before he passed away in 1985.

But this is just anecdotal, the main appeal of the book is the art, heavily inspired by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a famous Venetian architect from the 18th century who was known by his “Imaginary Prisons" etchings.

I am happy that I discovered these series and I am looking forward to keep reading them.

What community?

Stop having match threads and then you can rest assured no soccer community will ever form around here.

My comment was not about the bot but about the human (@[email protected]) that post the match threads for everyone's benefit.

I am not sure what you call main r/soccer page or separate r/soccer. Perhaps something to do with how you browse reddit. I used to browse reddit with an app (RIF) and old.reddit.com and there was no such separation. Furthermore, they not only have match threads but also post-match threads, goal threads and sometimes threads for red cards, tackles, VAR... and so on.

Obviously we don't need all that around here but we need at least one post per match thread... That is the bare minimum to have, and that is why I remain strongly opposed to OP.

Is free, but you need a Doctorate to play it + a lot of time.

Please read my comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4129234

I am not sure if you just took the advice from one person or if there was proper discussion but know that I think is way better to keep one thread per game. Perhaps we can have more discussion about this, maybe a poll?

BTW, know that your job in this community is impressive and awesome. I am thankful for that. Keep it up!

I am strongly against this recommendation. The reason being that I am very happy with having one quick access post per top level game. That was one of the main features in r/soccer and I consider a luxury that we can have the same approach here in Lemmy.

Not having that will destroy the community for me.

I just finished "Pinocchio" by Winshluss and it was very different than the BD that I am used to.

I liked the art (resembling of Robert Crumb) and the Pinocchio adaptation for mature audiences. There is a lot to like in the clever storytelling and how the stories connect with each other.

Perhaps this was not my cup of tea, but it was refreshing and definitely something very unique that I am happy to add to my collection.

EDIT: This Pinocchio adaptation is not appropriate for children or young comic readers. Just in case it wasn't clear from my post.

 

Looking forward to start immersing myself on this one.

The PDF is free if anyone is interested: https://crpgbook.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/crpg-book-expanded-edition_3.6b.pdf

In my attempt to generate activity in this community, I am sharing the latest additions to my collection.

The first Criminal Deluxe volume is arriving next week. I was just impatient to post. :)

I saw this movie for the first time last year and was really impressed with Ava Gardner acting performance. And of course she got the Oscar that year.
