Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't mind people making and sharing AI pictures for fun, but if you sell those pictures, that's kinda cringe tbh.
I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.
Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.
But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That's more valuable.
Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand
Or saying someone's digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image...
On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone's work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they're entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways
