Comments like this are just baffling to me. Like, I literally just listed a bunch of completely FREE or affordable alternatives to using genA/I to create comm refs
Just admit that you don't care. What's with this idea that before exploitative genA/I, people couldn't create ref sheets? What on earth
The complete and total ignorance as well as just monumental stupidity of these people comes along every day regardless of whatever they say, not only that but they just tense up & get so defensive whenever they are challenged that it's like arguing with a child that screams all the time.
this A/I shit really made people even more lazy & disrespectful in interactions with artists
we should just be thankful to be commissioned and given a shitty A/I gen ref, and a fucking simple moodboard seems to be too much to ask for
AI has made some people so lazy that they can't even be bothered to just type out what a character may look like. They gotta let a machine do aaaaall that hard thinking for them.
I’ve said this in another thread but “how are you supposed to commission an artist without a reference” is one of the most dumb takes possible. I bet his mind would be blown knowing I’m the artist who’s often responsible for making sure other peoples’ OCs have a reference in the first place. 🧠 🗑️
I'm colourblind, having a ref would be preferable BUT I can EASILY get by with a written description and a labelled colour pallete.
I had someone give me a Mii from Miitopia as a ref and I still managed to create from that.
Doesn't have to be complicated, just has to show what the person wants.
you made the entirely banal point that reference sheets can be anything and rather than respond to that they go "oh so you don't want me to have references???"
Amazing how every character ref sheet ever was just redraws of the same ref sheet until A/I freed us from just using that same ref sheet forever. Shame the origins of that original ref sheet have been lost to time now I can’t tell A/I to make a weird copy of their style with fucked up hands
Stick figures with colour swatches will honestly fucking do if you COMMUNICATE with your artist. These people just want to create problems that don't exist to justify their own shitty behaviour.
