This is awesome.

Thank you for your positive input Lyla :-)

Nice concept. You seem to like snow. - Bob I've been doing 3D art since the 80's. I found AI art sometime last year. It was so much easier and had amazing results. Sometimes I just do backgrounds and put in a 3D character. It's not as easy as people think. It takes a while to learn how to input what you want.

Hi Bob, yes I do like snow, and rain, petals, sand, debris and don't forget wind... anything to add a little movement and drama, I try not to do a straight render without any thought. I try my hardest to make the image not look like AI and more like a film shot. Anyway thanks for your positive input :-)

Yes, I can agree with you sir, it's not that easy as people might think, takes a while to learn as you might say. But would you consider asking yourselves - 'what have I achieved with it? Have I fulfilled my true purpose as an artist?'

Many of your here consider this sort of bandwagon as a 'great leap for humanity'--easy, clean, requires minimal effort, but is there even something an inch of humanity with it? Can you tell me what is so human about this that you'd appreciate the mechanical more than a living individual using his/her 'humanity'? Is there true emotion in these images or are they just replicas of that emotion that is being conveyed?

Today and Tomorrow, one thing for me is sure --- ART IS DEAD! (And so are all of us here as artists)

Art by simple definition is TIMELESS, CLASSIC, SIGNIFICANT, EMOTIONAL, AND HUMAN. There is nothing human about this piece but rather CONFORMED TO A COOKIE-CUTTER LIKE OUTPUT--BLAND AS IF TAKEN FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S IDEA.

Sooner or later we will be responsible for our own folly, you will soon be responsible for your own demise. We now have the ability to destroy ourselves, a thousand times over. You might think of me writing this watching too much movies unable to distinguish what's real and what's not, but it's already a sad reality we are living in. So yes, basque in the wonders of what this new form of technology has to offer, it' s for ME, ME , ME! eventually for people to appreciate me more...or will you end up losing your true purpose as a human being?

You see every empire has their beginning and their end. For every action, a reaction. The Egyptians paid too much attention on their mortality, they left behind their achievements. The Greeks spread their knowledge throughout their dominion, they left their flanks exposed. The Romans marveled in their own decadence that their empire became too outstretched, that left barbarians room to invade them. Who would have thought refrigeration and plastics that we cannot live with today has have had significant impact on the climate that we are willing to scrape it back to history.

The thing is, we take such things for granted, that we cannot push it for the context of what it is to contribute for the greater of humanity.

Oh right, and before you guys delete this post because of it's 'offensive' rhetoric, here's one more,

All I leave you here is a dire advice: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE BARGAINED FOR :) THE GENIE IS ALREADY OUT OF THE BOTTLE AND THERE'S NO WAY OF PUTTING HIM BACK INSIDE:)

For the record, I composed this post myself so expect a few errors,

I AM JUST HUMAN.

Nice diatribe. It's the eternal battle of which is more important in art: The image or the process. Of course, a person is involved. I input the description of what I want, over and over, until I get the image that I want. Then it goes to Photoshop for correction and modification. Then through two more programs till I end up with what I want. AI allows me to output more of my ideas. When I painted, it sometimes took 6 months to finish a painting. Then 3D modeling sped things up a bit. Still the same basic images. Now there is AI and I can get out the tons of ideas that I have in a lot less time. Pushing a paint brush doesn't make a picture better. It just takes longer and costs more. AI art allows me to lower my prices and allows more people to appreciate the images.

WOW... What a marvelous sci-fi image 👍🙋‍♂️

Glad you like it Saby :-)

Looks simply fantastic dear Robert, you created in the meantime a lot of great looking images!!!!

Ah Ute! I'm glad you are back, and I hope you are feeling better! Thank you very much for your kind input. :-)
