I’ve been inspired to do more art that’s just ok because of souless AI

A watercolor I did recently

Thank you. Here’s another I did.

An alien religious icon

These are great pieces, thanks for sharing. I encourage you to make more. Real human made art is a hot commodity!

If art is simply a "commodity" then machines could make it cheaper.

I don't think art is just a "commodity". I don't think it's value is simply in being traded and sold.

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Good point! The word commodity isn't the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that 'I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist's attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the "generated" art possible.'

please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.

!artshare@lemmy.world is a lovely community I look at a lot where I'm sure it would be appreciated too.

I really like this one! It speaks to me and I'm getting a lot out of it. I see reflections of self, of chaos surrounding it, of the divine nature of being.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you for your kind words. I have been accused of being an agent of chaos more than once haha.

These are cool.

Do you have a place where you upload your stuff to? If you do, with your permission, I'd like to add it to my can library of fresh wallpapers, so it would show up in my laptop and phone background when a new one gets uploaded.

It's this project: https://www.amazingdomain.net/

Note that the Android app can't be downloaded right now, but I have my own test version.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t. I mostly just show my stuff to friends. I only recently started using watercolors. What is a good place to start uploading?

I also need to get better scans these are just photos with my phone and bad lighting.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen people putting up things in all sort of places so I'm not positioned to make a choice for you.

You could do a separate Instagram/tik-tok etc account or even personal one.

Or imgur/mastodon account, or a social service you don't currently use.

Or a new sub in your favorite Lemmy instance. And many more ways to do it.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A lot of my drawings end up being screaming people. My friends call it thw screaming man face.

I remembered I have a Pixelfed. @5in1K. I’ll get the stuff I’ve done that I don’t hate on there.

Here’s a sketch I did recently until then.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A lot of people feel like screaming lately I'm sure, lots of extreme events going on.

Anyways, I never heard of pixelfed and tried looking up your account, but I think it forced me to login so not sure if I'll create an account.

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I found out about it here on Lemmy as an open source instagram alternative. Trying it out.

I think that is the way to go anyway. Time is a circle, which means after the ai trend hits its peak, people will want genuine art.

This is the time to practice and share with like minded people to hone your skills so you are ready when you needed.

BTW there is a artshare community. Post your stuff there.

Thank you. All the bright colors and metallics are paints that I made myself.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

As someone who is into fountain pens and fountain pen inks... I can definitely respect that.
