one of the reasons ive spent the last 15 years showcasing game artists (concept esp) is that their work is SO important to our love and understanding of our favourite games, and the people responsible are criminally under-appreciated for the work they do. aftermath.site/tag/showcase/

so much of the way you relate to and love your favourite games is through the work of human artists. character and costume design, environments, weapons, everything people cosplay as and buy figures of has come from someone's BRAIN, and I think that's magic. and AI has none of it.

Absolutely. Otherwise, why would you ever want to buy a fancy art book or unlock concept art from a game.

I love seeing that stuff - the ideas and exploration behind designs in the game. The Guardians of the Galaxy one is fantastic.

I'm not just consuming the aesthetics of art, but communicating with its creator. AI takes the best part away from me and steals from other artists and leaves me with the harvested husks of beauty.

Yup, there's a good reason why people pay a lot of money for art books of concept art for games they already own and have played
