Love it! Those colors 😍

Thanks! The gradient map feature in procreate has been helping me be more adventurous with colors lately.

This is really nice! I was suspicious of AI in that piece too. I’m glad you didn’t decide to boycott Mark’s challenge just because of someone else’s use of AI

thepishposh.com•41 days ago

Thanks! It looked really suspicious to me, and the account that posted it was flagged for frequent AI, but what ruffled my feathers was that Mark validated it by commenting and reposting.

mrshoffy.bsky.social•41 days ago

How do you see that an account is flagged for frequent AI? I don’t see that in my BlueSky app

There's an AI image labeller you can use (link below). It's got settings to either block images / people flagged as AI or give them a tag under their name, like in the screenshot here.

Thanks, @nicolaschofield.com ! I must have it turned on and forgot about it. This is how it appeared for me, @mrshoffy.bsky.social .

mrshoffy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thank you @nicolaschofield.com ! I’ll use this and share it with @studiohoffmann.bsky.social

thepishposh.com•41 days ago

It was showing up right underneath their profile, rather prominently. I would include a screenshot, but I can't remember their name.

mrshoffy.bsky.social•41 days ago

Interesting, thanks!

mrshoffy.bsky.social•41 days ago

That was my fault, I did that to help him out. That was after I asked that person if they used AI and they denied it, so I believed them. But now I see there’s no doubt. And we got rid of Mark’s comment & repost.
(1/2)

(2/2) We are definitely NOT in favor of using AI in art because of the unethical scraping of artists’ work to train it, not to mention the environmental impact

studiohoffmann.bsky.social•40 days ago

As my wife stated…We are absolutely against the use of AI. With so many submissions coming in I didn’t even see the post until my wife shared the controversy with me.

studiohoffmann.bsky.social•40 days ago

It was even more annoying that that the person lied about using it when clearly they use it all the time. It’s gross. It makes me upset that they lied about using it when called out. I never even thought that someone would post something using AI prior to this.

thepishposh.com•40 days ago

Thanks for addressing it! I'll admit I felt pretty let down to see the repost. Then I felt gross and petty for calling it out.

I really enjoyed working on this dtiys -- I tried to redesign the characters, but that rat drummer just couldn't be improved upon...

studiohoffmann.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is great! I didn’t even imagine that anyone would use AI in the challenge. I’ll have to add “No AI” to my rules going forward
