Another sketch of Porsche, this one based on a “character sheet” I generated with Midjourney based on my own character descriptions. Yes, yes, I understand there are many issues with AI art generators, some of which are real and some of which are not; my own writing has been used to train large language models, I know artists who have been discouraged from art by generative AI, and I expect the use of these systems for final product will be very disruptive. HOWEVER, there are some things which AI generators can do which can’t be feasibly done by any other method – such as producing character sheets for your own practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I managed to convince ChatGPT \/ DALL-E to cough up the above “centauress in a spacesuit” drawing after many iterations, then got it to transform that image into the following character sheet of Porsche from several different angles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ain’t perfect – note she has five legs on the right, and the perspective differences aren’t really that well done – but it’s close enough for me to use these as reference as I do my own drawing practice, shown at the very top. Seeing these “drawings” gives me new perspectives on how to render my own ideas at a higher level than I can currently do, enabling me to bootstrap my artistic skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a long way to go for AI generated art to be able to respond to art direction – but it is helping me chart a new direction in my own art, which is great, because if I can draw it, I can then art direct myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
