Mr. Ben Moran, an artist who was banned from the subreddit 'r / Art', has published his interactions with the moderators of 'r / Art'.




According to this exchange, the reason for the BAN was an image posted by Mr. Moran titled 'A Muse in WarZone'. Moran has published the same image on DeviantArt under the title 'Elaine'.

Moran argued, ``If you need it, you can provide a PSD file that shows the editing process.I don't use AI support, and this punishment is wrong.'' It doesn't matter if you really 'drawn' it, because it's obvious that it's a design you made, if you're a 'real' artist you should find another style because A: you're not using AI No one will believe it, and B: AI can create a better picture in seconds than what you could have spent hours drawing.

According to the news site Motherboard, Mr. Moran undertook this work from Kart Studio , a collaborative production group by digital artists. In the case of 'A Muse in WarZone', it seems that it took about 100 hours to produce because other artists drew the initial sketches and Mr. Moran finished it from the middle.

Motherboard admits that Renaissance-style depictions of female warrior-style outfits in games are a common sight in AI-generated illustrations, but this kind of drawing has been demanded since before the advent of AI. I point out that there is. Moran also cites the influence of artists Ruan Jia , Huang Guangjian and Piotr Jabłoński .

In addition, ``r/Art'' was temporarily privatized in early January 2023, but it was published again at the time of writing the article.

By the way, Mr. Moran said about image generation AI, `` We are killing digital artists and all artists so far. I don't want to live in a world. ' Ironically, he seems to have a similar opinion to the moderators of r/Art who don't like AI.
