Hi! I'm Annie by AnniesShop on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Hello!
My name is Annie, and this is my shop!
This is an AI generated + artist assisted shop for adoptables and concept art.

--What were you created for?:
This shop is run by two artist who are struggling a lot financially at the moment and are trying to afford living while growing as actual artist who draw with their own hands.

--What does it mean that is AI generated + artist assisted?; are there other options?
If you see the "AI generated + artist assisted" it means that as you will be able to see, all the heavy lifting is done by the AI, while we put together the final result + fix some of the most common AI mistakes to give you a better final result.
If you see the "Artist generated + AI assisted" legend on any of our adopts then it means that one of us made the concept, drawing, and it was cleaned up by an AI.

--Aren't you stealing from other artist?:
We've fed the AI our own image and text prompts to avoid taking other artist drawings and characters, we can't take responsability for how the AI was made on the first place or the general style it works with most of the time.
That being said, if one of our adopts look exactly like your drawing/character/oc/adopt, you can DM's us with the following: link to your drawing + date of making + link to the adopt you think looks the same.
If they do look too similar, we will take down our adopt.
This does not apply to other AI creators. Only hand made drawings.

--Aren't you taking job away from actual artist?
As artist, at the beginning we thought this would happen and were heavily against AI. But as time passes we realized our job wasnt touched. Truth being told, AI generated images are still recognocible from hand made art. The public that had always consumed actual drawn art can tell the difference and wont be purchasing AI generated images instead of paying artist.
It's true that the illustration market might be overflown now with AI images, which could lower real artist views and reach, we think this is the only reason AI images can make artist's job harder.
