I feel like you should know that your art has singlehandedly inspired me to take up digital art again, do you have any tips for starting out?

Omg thank you so much, that is really wholesome and I am glad to hear I was able to inspire someone! The number one tip I have and it is a very predictable one but IT IS PRATICE! There is no running away from practice! Just keep drawing and YOU WILL SEE AN IMPROVEMENT! However, the way I learned to draw was by looking up a bunch of artists I like online and discovering videos and resources! So I will share here a list of cool and fun youtube channels that helped me over the years and still do to this day! Some of these channels have tutorials, art talk, speedpaints... So hopefully you will find something useful here! ^^ Here's a list: Kienan Lafferty: https://www.youtube.com/@KienanLafferty/videos Sinix Design: https://www.youtube.com/@sinixdesign/videos Marc Brunet: https://www.youtube.com/@YTartschool/videos Atey Ghailan: https://www.youtube.com/@ateyghailan9353/videos Ahmed Aldoori: https://www.youtube.com/@AhmedAldoori/videos Proko: https://www.youtube.com/@ProkoTV/videos Sam Does Arts: https://www.youtube.com/@samdoesarts/videos Kiwi Byrd: https://www.youtube.com/@KiwiByrd/videos ABD Illustrates: https://www.youtube.com/@ABDIllustrates/videos Jenna Drawing: https://www.youtube.com/@JennaDrawing/videos Bluebiscuits: https://www.youtube.com/@bluebiscuits/videos Kaycem: https://www.youtube.com/@KaycemCrew/videos

Arte Generativo con AI

Siempre hay una nueva tecnología en boca de todos, y ahora es el turno de la inteligencia artificial generativa que se está tomando la escena. Con el desplome de las criptomonedas y, por consiguiente, de la web3 con todos sus sabores (i.e. NFTs), la AI está siendo el tema que se toma todos los blogs de tecnología y los tweets de los clásicos mentes de tiburón que están buscando alguna forma de ganar dinero fácil. 

No me malinterpreten, yo creo que esta tecnología es revolucionaria. Los avances que se están logrando en el campo de las simulaciones físicas es increíble, y pronto veremos los frutos de estas investigaciones en el cotidiano, como en los videojuegos, efectos visuales en las películas, etc. Sin embargo, siempre debemos ser cuidadosos de aquellos que utilizan este bombo publicitario para aprovechar de amasar una pequeña fortuna ¿Recuerdan cuando nos decían que los NFT iban a ser el futuro? No resultó ser más que una estafa piramidal sofisticada. Lo mismo está pasando con el arte generativo. Algunos artistas poco artistas están utilizando algoritmos generativos para crear obras de arte y venderlas en el mercado como propias. Esto es problemático, porque aún transcurre la discusión sobre la autoría de las obras que estos algoritmos producen (Midjourney, Dall-e, Stable Diffusion, etc.). Estos algoritmos ocupan datasets de obras que han recopilado de distintos portales de arte, donde clasifican estas obras según sus estilos y etiquetas que los mismos artistas originales le han asignado. De este modo, con un “prompt” o frase, la IA es capaz de generar obras con el dataset de entrenamiento que se ha utilizado.

Ejemplo: “A portrait of a grogu skull face, angel, wings, in the style of artgerm, van gogh, atey ghailan and steve mccurry, vibrant colors and hard shadows and strong rim light, lucien freud, comic cover art, trending on artstation with flowers” - Stable Diffusion.

Entonces ¿De quién es la obra que producen estos algoritmos? ¿De las obras originales que fueron utilizadas para entrenar el algoritmo? ¿De los programadores que crearon el algoritmo? ¿Del usuario final del algoritmo que ingresó una frase y ajustó los parámetros para obtener el resultado deseado?

Tomemos por ejemplo el caso de la página “This person does not exist.”  (https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/). Un investigador se dió la paja de revisar el dataset de entrenamiento que utilizaron y se dió cuenta de que las personas que supuestamente no existían y que estaban siendo generadas por la IA no eran más que pequeñas variaciones del dataset original.

Esta página se hizo mundialmente conocida, y fue replicada por distintos medios periodísticos para hacernos creer que la IA podía crear algo completamente nuevo y así prescindir de la creatividad de los seres humanos.

Lo mismo pasa con el arte generativo.

Este es el resultado de lo “generado por una IA”

Y esta es la obra original.

Casos como estos dan cuenta de como estos algoritmos cruzan la línea de la inspiración hacia el plagio. Si yo le describo a Midjourney con lujo de detalle la obra de Van Gogh “Noche estrellada”, y me entrega como resultado algo muy similar a la obra original, entonces, ¿Significa que yo soy el autor de “Noche Estrellada”?

La discusión esta agitada, y por lo mismo, si le están ofreciendo la oportunidad “única” para invertir en arte generativo, algoritmos generativos, etc., por favor, tome un paso hacia atrás, y con cautela recuerde que es lo que ha pasado los últimos años con las tecnologías que están de moda, criptomonedas, blockchain, NFTs, entre otros. Mi sospecha es que algunas de estas obras que se venden como originales, serán impugnadas en el futuro como plagio desde artistas que han participado de forma involuntaria de estos datasets de entrenamiento, y por ende, perdiendo el valor que le fue asignado originalmente. Veamos qué pasa.

De todos modos en mi instagram (instagram.com/txusillo) estoy experimentando con una versión Open Source de Arte generativo llamado Stable Diffusion. Pase a ver mis publicaciones sobre eso. No por ser crítico me voy a quedar a un costado de lo que está pasando. Una de mis grandes pasiones es la tecnología, por lo mismo me da una mezcla de pena y rabia cuando esta misma es utilizada para vigilar, controlar y estafar.

Ejemplo Final: Una foto mía con el prompt “a man looking at the camera van gogh painting”, Stable diffusion model 1.4

Best Background/Environment Artists

Hayao Miyazaki

Great at keeping that painterly art look even tho it’s animated!

Noah Bradley

The sense of scale is breath taking. Nuff said

Makoto Shinkai

Master of making everything beautiful! They choose really good locations and compositions.

Atey Ghailan

Heavily inspired by Ghibli Films but Atey puts his own unique spin on it. And if I’m being honest I like his style a little better 😏

@arsenixc​

​ Very detailed 3D renderings with beautiful colors and mood. I really want to study the way they light their scenes.

@fox-orian

This is one of the first background artists that I found on DeviantArt that I was awe inspired by. The sense of place was amazing to me and their tutorials were so helpful.

@artsaus

A master of traditional painting. Their ability to capture atmosphere is insane!

Valorant.

To me, i always knew this as my generation's tinder with a CSGO minigame. Thanks to me and my big mouth, a friend offered me $25 to play this and try it out. I thought "oh, i just have to suffer through a few hours of this game for a fortnite skin. why not?" What i ended up getting in turn was an amazing discovery.

I'll gloss over the gameplay. It's essentially CSGO, but with the mechanics of a hero shooter. When i first played, i was annoyed as to how slow it was. After learning how the game works i understood quickly why it's like that. The characters (better known as agents) are able to utilize abilities during combat. Each one is unique, bringing unique playstyles to the to the table, and plenty of room for player expression. Lime walked me through many of them. The game's very fast paced, for me. I spent my first few minutes getting clipped. I still managed to get one kill though. It felt great.

To me, the most impressive part of the game is everything else. From models, to animations, to voice acting, a lot of this game's personality comes from the art team and it's some of the most glorious shit i've gotten to witness. For a hero shooter, you know that characters are the star of the show. They're all amazing. My favorite quickly became the impulsive Phoenix. The animation team lives and breathes these characters. I was very surprised as to what i was seeing, they have so much personality, even with the first person view. From the way they handle their abilities, hovering over them on the selection screen, to how they reload their guns, playing each character feels like you're behind a completely different person every time. These characters bend, stretch, just- all rules of animations are being used perfectly here.

For the art itself, i think this is some of the best i've seen in a videogame. They've crafted this glass-like paint look for it's identity. It extents to all of it's promotional art. The people at riot have mastered it and i enjoy seeing anything they put out. The works of Suke, Envar Studio & Atey Ghailan are jaw dropping.

After trying the game out, i kinda went into a deep dive of lore and everything related. Valorant has jaw dropping cinematics that correspond with major updates of the game. It also has a thriving competitive scene that Riot continuously uplifts.

I really have to hand it to Riot, because their taste in design of all forms, music, and gameplay appeals to a lot of people my age. There are so many companies that dream of pulling it off as well as they do. I like the work put into this game. I don't think i'll play it often, but i'll definitely hop on for some custom games with friends, if they ask.

Thanks for the push, Lime.
