#art 'art'

[stupid-elf]

I'm not an artist myself. At least, not in an image-creating way. However, I think I've got a good metaphor for why AI generated art is pissing so many people off.

Imagine you're a woodworker. You make tables. You're really good at making tables! Honing this skill has been something you've invested hundreds, nay, thousands of hours into, alongside literal blood sweat and tears.

Say one day a man comes along with a fancy-looking metal box. It's really shiny. You watch him unload an absolute piece of junk table from the box. "This machine makes tables!" The man proclaims. Ah, the fruits of industry, you laugh. Shit tables and metal boxes. It's sort of funny to you.

Then you notice somebody ripped a leg off one of your tables. What the fucking hell?? Then you're told it's to feed the box, so it can make better tables. Besides, your table stands just fine on three legs anyway; it'd be damned selfish to want all four for yourself! You hate this, but there isn't much you can do. This man from out of town has a shiny box, and now the box has the table leg you made. Damn, but alright.

Soon you learn other carpenters are missing chair legs, then dresser legs, a door! And out of the metal box comes a horribly balanced table, four different length legs, and a handle where you'd put your plate!

It's the wonders of industry! Shitty tables.

Would you, dear reader, feel like you and your fellow woodworkers need to stand up to this affront? Would you feel justified in calling it theft? Seems damned sensible to me!

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
