Controversy about Art AI
I've noticed that many sci-fi/fantasy art creators are pissed off at the rise of using AI for artwork. I can sort of understand their reasoning: The "artist" isn't creating shit. They're just supplying the prompt and the AI does what it does: it either creates beauty or fascination or it creates shit. For me, I adore the Midjourney AI. It creates wonderful images for my story visuals. Wonderful art to put on my desktop. But I will never put my signature on a piece I haven't created. I respect the opinions of true artists, but I don't think it's justification for wanting AI destroyed. I can't make the images in my head. I don't have the talent. AI does. That said, I will always admire and adore the artworks created by Submicron, Hameed, and others. They have a much better imagination than I do.
Cursor Downloads Deleted
Due to my decision to delete all downloads on my website, the cursors section has been deleted. I may upload them directly here, but I haven't decided yet.
Switching Obsessions
Moving away from Fractals for a while. I've discovered real mapping software and sites, allowing me to play to my heart's content. It's a magnificent tool to go with my fiction writing. Among the various mapping places, my favorites include: Inkarnate DungeonFog Azgaar's generators Wonderdraft. Don't have the program yet but I will soon. From what I've seen of it, it looks to be better than Inkarnate (in many respects but not all) and massively better than DungeonFog. BUT, like Inkarnate, it doesn't cater to sci-fi. **heavy sigh** Only DungeonFog has assets for sci-fi. Not many, but it's better than nothing--something we map makers seem forced to put up with for no reason I can think of. Somebody please make elements or I will ... if only for myself, but bloody hell, it's time-consuming. OTOH, making is its own joy. It's hard to find assets that don't cost anything except kudos and giving credit. I'm on a limited budget so paying for them is a budgeting issue, which is
