Since July 2022, I've been immersed in the dynamic world of AI image generation, embarking on a transformative journey fueled by innovation. My exploration began with Midjourney version 2, and I proudly stood among the initial 15,000 beta testers of Stable Diffusion.
In this fascinating realm, I've harnessed the power of AI to generate over 45,000 images through my Midjourney account and delivered several commissioned projects throughout the past year. While some artists may express reservations about the prevalence of AI art, I view it as a privilege for my distinctive style to be recognized by the AI and utilized by those interested.
My aspiration is clear—I aim to be a modest yet valuable contributor to the AI revolution, utilizing this technology to its fullest potential. I believe that AI image generation can serve as a conduit to unlock my creative capabilities, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
In this video, I present a collection of my drawings dating back over a decade. These drawings are juxtaposed with images created using Stable Diffusion Vr1.1, an AI-powered image generator. While this AI exhibited remarkable proficiency in generating creative photographic content, it struggled with accurately rendering human proportions. In response to this limitation, I seized the opportunity to create a series of images that would prove impossible to replicate using subsequent iterations of the same AI.
