@peertube the image look really AI-generated 🫣

@blueluma It's amazing how the big industry has brainwashed the audience. I now collect this type of accusation no longer monthly, but weekly. And as a digital painter with more than 25 years' experience, I understand why. In fact, my work (and other, billion) has been used to train those AI models, so AI paint like us. But please stop accusing work that you are not 100% sure about. When real humans are behind it and have spent full days creating that imagery, it hurts a lot.

@davidrevoy Try to see it as a compliment instead. People think it might be AI because it looks better than what most are capable of.

"That result is so good you must have cheated."

You know those old paintings that almost look like a photograph? That is amazing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hans_Holbein_the_Younger_-_Charles_de_Solier,_Sieur_de_Morette_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg

I feel like we didn't have photography of the same quality than this painting before digital photography. Painter didn't search for realism all the time.
  • 40,000~30,000 year BC very realistic cave painting
  • 20,000~10,000 year BC more simplified stylized cave painting
  • Ancient Pharaoh Egypt, very stylised drawing
  • around First~5th AD, Fayum portraits very realistic (caustic paintings on coffins in Egypt)
  • Middle age, all around the World very stylized painting
  • Renaissance (as this painting), come back to very realistic painting.
  • Some painter started to go back to faster painting, more rough, (as Rembrandt, very realistic on light and colors, but some rough brush strokes).
  • 19th century, photography, some romantic painters worked on photography and with advanced technics, worked on very realistic paintings.
  • End of 19th to 20th century, some artistic movements like Impressionism, fauvisme, want to go away from reality, paint something else than photography
  • Cubisme, with Picasso and some other are inspirited by traditional religious masks from West Africa, go more far away.
Painting, is generally not about realism, but about representation, with more or less realism, more or less personal style, following more or less time and schools/movement style of their time or from elsewhere in time and space. The main goal is to transmit feeling, emotions, ideas, with its own tools and style.

That's not the case in the particular case of portrait painting, like here, for people of power, (here, French soldier and diplomat as well as a long-serving gentilhomme de la chambre to Francis I, king of France, that had Da Vinci among his royal painters) or a rich people that can feed a painter by a command.
