I mean there are good bits and bad bits with AI. I use it now to test color schemes on my models.

I can take a picture of a model I built and say: "this time give me make the right gauntlet black..."

I would've wasted 9 or so Space Marines working on the designs the old fashioned way.

As long as you are up front and say AI did this and I did not. I don't see a problem with it.

AI has its place. That place is not impersonating or replacing human creativity.

I get not everyone (hi, I include myself in this) has the skills and know-how to get what’s in their head on the page/canvas/wall/etc. But I’m afraid, again including myself in this? Your choice is to accept that, or learn.

I’m also dead against AI tripe showing up as model rumours. How one polices that though, I haven’t the foggiest.

Wow. This is a pretty fething offensive thing to say.

I'll make sure to tell one of my friends who has severe nerve damage in his hands to give up on making his comic book a reality by no longer using AI and learn to draw by hand?

That'll go over great.

AI assistance art has a place. A lot of people abuse it, and a lot of people use it to troll others, but it still helps people realize the dreams they have, when life has put roadblocks up.

I'm sorry you don't like AI art. But think about those it actually helps.

Many people have overcome disabilities without resorting to a technology that can only function by plagiarism.

What other technology is freely available to people on disability to work on their ideas?

I can't think of any.

For what it's worth, we had a family friend who was quadriplegic, who spent 40 years painting with a paintbrush held in his mouth. He was part of a large association of artists with various disabilities, who all paint with either their mouth or their feet, and in many cases turn out superb work. There are artists out there doing similar with digital art, as there are a whole slew of devices available for people with limited or no use of their arms to use a computer.

AI is not the only option for people with disabilities to make their art a reality. It's arguably not at all a way for people with disabilities to make their art a reality, since it's not really making their art.

It makes him happy, and I've been at such a loss for how to help.

And in the end, that's all that matters. He'll never publish his stuff, but it makes his day a bit brighter and he's actually excited to show me what he's done. I can't remember that before.

So I'm sure that it's all a terrible thing, and steals everyone's ideas. But for this. It works, and I'm not going to hate something that brings absolute joy to someone's life.

Or you could've taken the non-lazy approach - open picture in GIMP/Photoshop, add a mask layer (or more than one) at, say 50% transparency, and colour sections of the armour in that way.

No models ruined, skill potentially learned, no AI garbage required.

Cool. That's a free program that works on my phone? Or perhaps my monitored work computer?

If not, then it's unhelpful.

I'm not lazy. Just fething poor.

I moved away from photoshop subscription long time ago into Clipstudio.

You buy one time, a perpetual license and own it forever like the good old days.

For Photoshop editing, a free tool called PhotoPEA is available. It is basic Photoshop, but it runs off a browser, so all you got to do is open the site and use it directly in the browser.

Hope this helps.

It does. Thank you.
