from chapter 2 of my Chaggie fic The First Guest
An Alt pool scene by Theo (@lambocalypse) here (and on twitter). When theo posted this on here I thought it was sooo cute and funny, cause Harrow would probs need the floaties if they had them at the time.
You can the original piece on here is this one too! GO FOLLOW 'EM!
EST: roughly 2 months cause I needed some materials that took a while to get on here. Now I'm just waiting for my jacket to finish washing/drying to put this bad boi on.
also I don't know if you can tell but as I was filling in the water, I compacted a bunch of thread on some parts making it bumpier in some places on there, but when I finished it it actually felt really cool cause it felt like actual tiny waves cresting.
which was one of the things I wanted to do: 1) give it more visual texture and 2) maintain the tight structure of a well done satin stitch of a machine w/o actually using much stain stitches.
primarily used tightly packed stem stitches to fill in the background, used satin on gideon, harrow and the tiles in an effort to differentiate them from the background/foreground stem stitches and then tightly packed chain stitches on the skellies, which was a bad idea cuz of how tiny the spaces are between bones.
(ps: I knew twitter was fuckin with it was a decent photo)
I can not express in words how cool I think this is.
Sorry to be this person, but I haven't seen many others talking about it and I'm concerned by the positive reception it's recieved.
The Muca/Art Nouveau Gideon and Harrow by Mariellavee that have been doing the rounds on the tlt fandom circuit are very much AI Generated.
Here are the pieces. You may zoom in at your own discretion, but I will post a few especially egregious segments.
Some zoomed in segments:
The smudging, the strange stray lines with no clear human intent behind them, the strange fingers of course, and that one buckle that almost looks to have been generated in the shape of letters.
The "artist" of course does not disclose anywhere in her original post or tags that the work is AI generated, and its clear from the comments and tags that many people are not realizing.
It's clear Mariellavee drew over some parts to modify whatever the original generated piece looked like, but the meat of this piece is heavily ai.
This is not okay. The Locked Tomb is a beautiful piece of art, and the fandom contains so many fantastic and talented fan artists. I don't want to see the community poisoned with this nonsense. Support real artists and real art.
An update to this: Mariellavee also deleted the comments I had left on her original post of the Gideon piece warning other fans that the work is AI, and she blocked me. She does not intend to address anything or take the work down, AND she is SELLING prints of these two pieces.
Please reblog/spread the word. There are thousands of reblogs and likes on those pieces that should have gone to real artists in the tlt community!
