Understand and Effectively Use AI Generated Art

This live event has now passed but you can pick up the searchable recordings (a complete recorded course) from here:-

A.I. Generated Art is snowballing, with the choice of generation tools increasing and the number of people using them growing at a frenetic rate. I shared one A.I. generator tool with one person this week and discovered today that he and now all his friends are regularly using that tool. To demonstrate this further, I’ve had a peak at the Discord server for mid-journey and there are 138K people online, with over 900K members!

Where digital art used to be the secret alchemy of the few who understood how to use DAZ Studio, Cinema 4D, ZBrush etc, now a whole new swathe of art is posted by non artists (and artists alike) using text prompts and some scripting.

A.I. art is definitely a fresh opportunity for digital artists and this webinar will be a fun, interactive, open community workshop where we’ll explore A.I. art through the sharing of your own artwork.

We’ll also have special guest artists Vladimir Chopine and Peter von Stackelberg who have made their own explorations of various A.I. tools. They have learned a number of power tips to help either control the output or better utilise the generated art and they’ll be sharing some of their knowledge and experiences.

In this workshop we will:-

• See a variety of A.I. art generators in action.
• Share and discuss your A.I. generated art, which can be generated from any tool
• Learn about your challenges in making effective use of A.I. art.
• Share any discovered useful patterns/rules for text input art generators
• Showcase a new four week coaching group going deep on understanding and making the best use of A.I. art.

You’ll have the option to share your desktop in our webinar, so you can talk about your content or artwork in this way. 

This webinar is driven by YOU, the artist. The more artists that share artwork, a challenge or a tip, then the more value that can be gained by other artists.
