Introduction:
Exploring the intersection of art and technology, I delved into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its relationship with traditional art. Inspired by “Commissioning Illustration from Martin Colyer, this project is not just an exercise in artistic comparison but also a marketing strategy to highlight how the book can influence the creation of original and attractive visual content.
Personal Experience:
In my role as a video game developer and web designer, I approached the book with a practical mindset, seeking guidance for commissioning unique illustrations. What I found was an invaluable source of knowledge and artistic perspective.
The AI Challenge:
I tested AI, challenging it to replicate various artistic styles from woodcut to airbrushing, based on the vignettes in the book. Each attempt revealed both the capabilities and creative limits of AI, providing valuable insights into its evolution in the artistic field.
The Skeleton and the Koalas:
A particularly interesting finding was the AI’s repetitive representation of a skeleton in profile, highlighting its struggle with the artistic freedom of perspective characteristic of human art.
On the other hand, the illustration of a koala for an airline, achieved with precise details, demonstrated the AI’s ability to approach the delicacy of traditional art.
Reflection on the Pope:
The AI’s interpretation of the pope resulted in a more complex and nuanced image than its simple counterpart in the book. This experience highlights how AI, with its unique approach, can capture the essence of a subject in an innovative way, offering an alternative vision worthy of recognition.
Conclusion :
This first stage of the experiment highlights the relevance of “How to Commission Illustrations” in the world of art, both for artists and those looking to commission works in the digital age.
