A note on art:

I want to put this here because I know some people care about it. For art on this project I used AI to generate a composition and shape for each image (usually as many as 8 different images I then smash together in various ways before continuing). After this, I put each image into Photoshop to add to, remove from, and generally alter it until I am generally happy with how it looks; I also convert it to a grayscale here. Next I put it into a vector editing software to convert it into a vector image (trace out shapes and limit color tones) then alter it more until the curves are pleasing to me. Finally I take the limited shades of gray and play with them in different colors until they mesh with my palette and look okay to me. I personally feel that each final product is unique enough from the generated image for me to be able to say I am responsible for the art. I feel my methods are no different than going onto the internet, finding precedent images, drawing out the rough shape of them, and recoloring the result. I am NOT just grabbing an AI generated image and calling it my own work. I AM working with these images for a great deal of time to make them my own. Some of you may disagree with my method, and that is your right. Just know I have put a lot of effort and thought and care into this and I do not take the threat of artificial intelligence to art lightly.
