No AI Slop Art process🎨

I love these composite images. Genuinely impressive work. Seems like a sort of lost art almost, I don't feel like I see them nearly as often as we used to.

today its being a hard day of course, a spam of AI thumbnails made it 5 min

Well the efforts that go into these thumbnails doesn't go unappreciated. That's for sure.

thanks, we tryng!

I feel like photobashing skill has become something rare as seeing a unicorn in a forest

its being man

My comment has nothing to do with the topic of AI slop, but I drew that exact same ship many years ago. That's all, haha, I recognized the ship.

wow looks fantastic

Do you have any tutorials? I’ve been wondering for awhile how you get the lighting like that

my retounch and lighting i do using curves, i dont tutorial teaching that, I've been studying this for a while, and I only do it manually on thumbnails. A good way is to do light studies like the ones I did. I'll be back next week with some posts, maybe I'll bring some more tips.

@JustinWhang book name?

@GeekProo @JustinWhang

come to learn how do a better images art without slop AI

brabo d+ fio sinto mto por toda essa polemica ai, galera em vez de se mobilizar pra criticar atitudes paia de big tech de AI, dar voz à discursos de conscientização, gastam tempo inventando mentiras sobre artistas. pra eles, nem é por ideal, é por gostar de uma "tretinha" msm.

I’ve seen ai do better.

🤢

Ngl. I always thought it looked way too good to be ai lol.

lol

Amazing work!! a comment i tried to post, i reached character limit 💔

thanks man, apreciatte!

Meatcanyon and Creepcast thumbnails are so distinct its so cool

creepcast are more dark and horror, and papameat more vibrant and funny

i love your work man!! one of the few thumbnails on YT that actually is eye catching

I remember when "real artists" called this style of photo bashing "slop" and "not art"

Man, have we really gotten to the point where AI brainrot is so bad that people have forgotten about the concept of being good at photoshop???

I'd rather get my throat slit than getting praised by anti-AI people.

ho

Even answers from Anti-AI people disgusts me to no end. Enjoy your pack of Doritos from engagement, lmao.

@TKDesignzs ooo you're so jealous it's crazy

@TKDesignzs Do you have reading comprehension problems or something? I said I'd rather slit my throat than being praised by anti-AI people. I don't wanna be associated with you two-faced cultist pricks. Like being associated with the KKK. Fuck that.

@Knight_of_Noct @TKDesignzs that's a normal thing to say

@Knight_of_Noct @TKDesignzs Yep, very normal. I don't want the support from pricks like you. Your words of praise are like blackboard screeches in my ears.

keep on blocking, coward

tf is this?

😌🫢🤫

btw AI upscaling is quite literally generative AI

@TKDesignzs Are... you saying its AI upscaling because they are showing the picture more clear... when they literally have access to the original file compared to you having to zoom into a video that would of lost quality while uploading?

@TKDesignzs No I'm referring to his other post where he stated that he uses AI upscaling for thumbnails

@PascereEdits He claims that the fact that I use upscaling AI before all work in small parts destroys the integrity of the art; they want to create this narrative, even without knowing how the photo manipulation process works.

Computer slop. You're cheating and making the real artists who take photos and build real sets suffer. No real art just input in a computer.

nice!

How is this better in any way than using AI? The end result looks exactly the same, it's no more original and it takes longer.

You wanna explain this hippie girl from one of your works? She has an earring merged in her hair, a piercing in her throat, another earring in her throat, two rings that are morphing into her skin, and more that I can go on with. These arent human mistakes.

Doing stuff in a slower, older way does NOT make your work better. Hope you'll get jobs based on this virtue signaling, but I wouldn't hire you. (I used to do this exact same thing)

There is no AI in the process but do you often use upscale images? The rendering of your assets always gives this impression

I know you've mainly disagreed with many of my recent positions on AI. Well, Hunter and I had a serious conversation about it. The only thing used before all the manipulation was Magnificent, but that would only be 3% of the creation. Just look, and not in this one or many others, I don't even use them anymore. So no, I stopped using AI. I talked to Aziatack about it.

@sixoleau Magnificent is literally generative AI

@TKDesignzs That's exactly what I always blame him for, he's very talented but I don't understand why invest in soulless upscales?

@MysteryGuitarM It's truly regrettable to hear all of this.

always excited to see the new thumbnails. You do great work!

annw thanks man, you maked my day bro, thanks so much

You realize filling in the blanks with automatic processes in photoshop is just old versions of "AI", right

@TKDesignzs and @MinistryOvTrvth look, you're AI famous... This would take me weeks in AE to animate this.

All these thumbnails people think is AI, they don't know that we were doing this stuff for fun on bootleg copies of Photoshop in 2003. Ahh...nostalgia.

You still admitted to using it to remove items though

king keeping the art of photo manipulation alive

This is literally AI slop made by a human

Funny enough people call everything ai when they forgot ai was LITERALLY TRAINED ON EXISTING ART

You simply can’t get through to many of these AI retards. What you’re doing is beyond the boundaries of their comprehension and capability.

@ArionMiitoons So you steal other people’s art?

@JustinWhang I love that we’re at a point that people froth at the mouth so hard because of AI, they think everything is AI. I’m against AI being used in art too but yall need to take a step back and realize YOU CANNOT TELL WETHER ANYTHING IS AI OR NOT. Please stop assuming everything is AI.

These aren’t my favorite kinds of thumbnails ever so I feel like I take them for granted very easily, good shit fr
