Created by me using my own locally run Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (SDXL) model with a custom LoRA trained with my own acrylic paintings and ink washes, with additional editing in GIMP and Inkscape.
Based on my own physical sketches.
“I tried doing them by hand, but I find it easier to use a screen. Don’t think about making art, just get it done." — Andy Warhol, 1963
I’ve been a professional artist for 15 years, and I still start with my own ideas, sketches, colors, compositions, and paintings. And I still physically paint on canvas every day. You don’t have to like it, but calling that “lazy” or pretending AI is going away doesn’t make either claim true.
