Since many artist do get creative block I reckon AI can help them on that. Another thing learning new on the AI trend. To me this a drawable scene but I don't like ro copy. Just makes me wonder what is your work and what is AI.? Still this is a nice image. The body form and language is good. The details is good. The shading is good. The depth is good. The presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Nice job overall

Thank you for your review, I appreciate it!
I have known a lot of people who do like using AI for creative block. Lol, I guess I�m kind of the opposite because I always have too many ideas and not enough time to get everything done. That�s something I have really enjoyed using midjourney for, being able to really hone in on a certain style and then re-create similar images but with different subjects. (Especially helpful when I want recreate similar images with people of different ethnicities, ages, and body types.) I�m a traditional analog artist, but I started learning how to do digital painting and photoshop a while ago, so I figured I would dip my toe into AI as well. I like midjourney because I can really train and customize the engine to get detailed and personalized results.
This image is from a set where I was trying to train the engine to combine the styles of my hand developed black and white photography, photograms, hand drawn sketches, digital painting and then I spent a lot of time writing and rewriting prompts to get the right wording to lock in the style I was aiming for. So as far as what is my work and what is AI, I think the answer is that it both all AI and all my own. I also do a lot of analog mixed media and collage work, and it feels kind of like that. When I am working with found objects, ephemera, and cut out images from magazines and text from books, I may have not made the original materials I find, but I assemble and shape everything into something new that is my own. The processes feel very similar.

Very familiar AI..I have been a video creator for about decade. When I was working on announcements or ads the AI is a great assitance when I don't have the time to draw all the images (very time consumimg. Also I'm a cartoonist and illustrator and only work with a office medium. I get tickled when I make statement like "I don't work with any art medium, mine is a office medium that I have been working with since 1970. Long road..however since I had worked with AI before that is why I mentioned it. You can say I'm the few who do approve of the use of it..however I don't use them with my office medium..that is all me..wink
