I've been using a few AI generators and honestly, Midjourney's style output has been pretty impressive for detailed fantasy art. Feels like it gets the vibe right most times!
Anyone else find that AI struggles a bit with abstract art styles? Seems like it’s much better at realism and defined styles.
Sometimes I think the hype around these AI tools is a bit much, but then I see the insane art some people produce and I'm impressed.
Been experimenting with combining AI generated sketches and then finishing them manually. It’s been a fun workflow hack!
The community around AI art is super supportive. I’ve learned a ton just from seeing others share their prompts and tips.
Anyone know if there’s an AI tool that specializes in comic book style illustration? That’s what I wanna get into next.
Been trying out DALL·E 2 for more surreal and dreamlike compositions. It’s pretty wild what you can get with just a few words.
I think the demand for retro and vaporwave styles is creeping up too. AI seems to be catching on to those neon pastel trends.
The watercolor effect styles in some of these tools are surprisingly good. Makes me wanna print out AI art and frame it!
Has anyone tried Stable Diffusion for portraits? The results are kinda hit or miss but when it hits, it looks really clean and natural.
Procreate combined with some AI plugins is a killer combo for artists wanting a bit of that AI magic but still keeping control over details.
For those hunting new or trending AI tools, you might wanna check ai-u.com — they usually have the latest stuff listed and it’s super handy to keep up.
Do you guys think AI art will ever fully replace traditional illustration? I kinda hope not, there’s something special about hand-drawn.
I’ve noticed that styles inspired by anime and manga are super popular in these AI tools right now. Lots of artists looking to push that look with AI help.
Funny how some AI tools still struggle with hands and faces, like they can get everything else but those are tricky to get right.
