mad lad gotten into Turnip28, glad you did that series is wacky and I love the art design of it. my pfp is based on one image

Praise be to the root! I'm even more inspired to build that Roman empire/American revolution soldiers mishmash army for turnip28!

This is hilarious 😂 , the rage bait , you've attracted the crem dela crem of of miniature painting creators they've closed ranks on you ...do it again 😂.

Honestly I love the duskmourn set so much. Looking at each card I haven't seen one that gives me the AI ick. In fact I was worried after Ixelan, Thunder Junction, modern horizon 3, and Bloomburrow. So many cards from those sets made me believe they might have used AI art. I hope they never use ai art as official art.

Baseless accusations, slander, ragebait. Shame on you.

awesome Autistic Chaos Boys. love me the Iron Warriors

14:16 Cue the music! And the Singing! And the drinking! And the explosions! ruclips.net/video/ziwAs7ymfMc/видео.htmlsi=nPjhvVj5XcRjzaE9

Big yourself up bud, your videos are top quality, just like your conversions! Keep up the good work.

Those boys are looking great, good stuff!

ok | ok | Its time to kitbash | you convinced to continue this journey into Turnip 28 . THank you !

AI could probably design better Phyrexian art than WOTC with how they treated _mi familia_ in recent expacs... I still legitimately dont understand why people are so upset. A person views a piece of art, they add it to their pleasant memories, they want to draw and some creatd art which stylistically is based off of these memories. <Is somehow not> AI has art input [sees art], added to a recognizable database [memorizes art], receives input [human wants to draw], produces art [based on input & memory]. These are literally the same thing. If people feel like they're going to be replaced by AI maybe they should capitalize on styles or artwork that is too detailed, complex, or fascinating that AI can't copy. Otherwise, maybe there will be jobs to supply AI with art samples. No, this is legitimately how my mind functions; I can hear presumptive bias before it happens.

Maybe its the artist in me, or just the science and history nerd... but the biggest nonsense in this video is that whosoever wanted to charge for their finding of the kouros, or any ancient artifact. Like, you didn't knowingly spend your money to purchase it, you just "found" it... give it to the museum. If they have to damage your property or something to retrieve it sure you should be reimbursed, but other than that I would expect nothing more than like a placard saying you donated or found it beside it's display. -.- So Monumental Facade (fa'sod is correct French, not fuckaid xD) and Urza's Cave are actually painted, they are done in a more hasty concept-art style. Bruce Brenneise actually sells many of his preliminary drawings. He then usually does acrylics for about 80-90% of the painting then finishes them in digital. Mark Poole is extremely talented with oils, acrylics, and digital... I highly doubt he would ever waste his time with Ai. The Doomsday Excruciator looks like a mixmedia, likely using a combination of digital and Blender 3D software, the background looks like it could be rendered in Unreal Engine. Both Naban are indeed made with the symmetry-tool in most digital programs, after using it you go back over your piece tweaking things to make it seem less symmetrical. One thing that can often feel uncanny and goes really far back in Magic art is photobashing, especially for architecture. You chop up photos to build structure then paintover it. Forest 303 from Ravnica City of Guilds is an extremely obvious example. Digital is usually what feels off in my opinion, especially 3D tools like Blender, most of Magic was done traditionally for a long time and I strongly prefer traditional mediums... but digital goes go all the way back to Circle of Protection Black in Limited Edition Beta! There's even weirder mediums too like in Urza's Saga, Higgenbotham didn't paint, his famous Worn Powerstone and Voltaic Key are photos of physical sculptures. My favorite artist in Magic is Wayne Reynolds who as far as I know never uses digital anything, just draws then paints acrylics. They recently got Justin Gerard onboard who is another favorite artist he usually draws then paints with oil, sometimes touching up with digital. Jesper Ejsing, Rebecca Guay, Raymond Swanland, Magali Villeneuve, Donato Giancola, Mark Poole, John Avon, Wylie Beckert... there's so many insanely talented artists in modern Magic.

I care about the vanillas. I think vanilla creatures don't get enough love :( so I built a vanilla Commander Deck to give them some time in the sunlight

A couple criticisms (constructive) to levy here: 1. AI is definitely a possibility in every piece you've mentioned, but your intuitive revulsion is not a sure-fire way to pick out the pieces. Maybe the art has dropped in quality, but you said yourself: we shouldn't call art we don't like AI. 2. It's worth it to research name pronunciation. Each name in this video has a language of origin, and should be easy enough to find guides online for. That said, you bring up a legitimate concern. AI is in a nebulous space where we can't know for sure whether it's being used or not. It's out there, and it cannot be put back into its bottle. This video is great for discussion on that front.

This might be an important conversation to have one day and maybe even today but this guy mumbling without a script and putting up random pieces of art (often by incredibly reputable fantasy artists) and giving no structured analysis beyond saying "this one looks weird to me" is definitely going to put the conversation backward instead of forward I don't think you got anything useful for anybody completed by doing this and the art community is really lucky that you have almost no viewership because I'm halfway through and all you've done is try to brigade on almost a dozen incredibly well respected industry talents while admitting constantly you have no idea what you're even saying

I haven't played for years now. MTG is a product now, more than anything else. I'm waiting to see if fans make their own Magic, just as we did with D&D.

I think the thing that actually matters isn't how the artist created the piece, but the end result. The "wholeness" of the artpiece, from it's imperfections, to it's perfections. It's wayward strokes. It's lighting, everything when crafted by a human with enough talent *looks* correct, even if it technically isn't. The problem isn't Artists tracing art. It isn't them mashing together elements and using AI tools to blend things together. Hell it isn't even ground up generative creation and tweaking. It's the complete lack of quality control, artistic vision, and the ability to stare at your own, shitty anime remake of a master-painted oilwork and saying: "This could have been made by AI." For me, my absolute favorite card art in MTG is Soulherder. It's strikingly gorgeous, creative, and almost unnerving. It's my desktop background. I know everything there is to know about the card. That card would mean almost nothing to me if it was in a generic anime style. And the reason is Magic is *unique.* It's art has always been evocative, transcendent almost. It's weird, it's wild, it's whacky, it's unbelievably beautiful. As that starts to slip, as more of these zero effort cards come out without clear artistic vision beyond "Make X guy but he's anime", the more that legacy and vibe breaks down. Have you seen Loot, exuberant explorer? Even if that was painted, it's the first card that made me practically recoil with "Wow that's literally just ai slop on a card." Even if it ISN'T, the bite of magic's art is fading, and I think everyone is starting to notice it. Good video. TLDR: Read if you wanna know xd

Do you have any actual concrete or substantive reasons for thinking these art pieces are AI beyond just saying "idk kind of sus"? At the end of the day this is an extreme accusation to make against artists (some of whom have been very strictly ANTI AI art) and personally, if I was a magic content creator, I would be annoyed seeing my footage used in a video that is borderline slander against card art artists. I feel like no matter how bad the game gets, the artists were always considered off limits for attacking... but I guess anything is fair game when you're trying to make a career out of talking about magic dying.

It's always so bland and soulless.

What? No. Doomsday Excruciator is a fine design. It simply used photobashing and less traditional techniques. Zero chance that an AI could be so deliberate in the placement of all the elements in play without making a complete mess of it. Liiga from the Screaming Nemesis art simply has a very unusual style. Look at all his other art. They all lean towards the abstract but were competently done. I for one love that card in particular for how well its colors pop in the frame, and how ethereal it seems. In general, I think your examples seem... unfortunate... they include some of the most competent and unique art in the set. There is more likely examples in say, the new foundation lands, and even those I would doubt to be AI. "Intuitive Revulsion" is a dangerous concept, I believe. The average person is really, really bad at identifying AI art. Ask your grandmother to differentiate AI from real digital art, I doubt she'll do that well. You have been looking at digital artworks longer than the average person, you may not produce it, but you have a grasp of what things are supposed to look like, generally. You probably do have this vague sense of being able to tell the small differences, and that's great. Do you think the next generation will still be able to do that? They haven't had decades on the internet to build so specific a visual library. I genuinely believe we need to stop looking at detail and composition in art for its own merit. It will lead to false positives all the time. These are the things that are childs play for AI. It should be all about deliberate intention, composition, symbolism, and construction. If that is what audiences promote, then that is what good artists will attempt to create. Of course, that probably won't happen for general audiences, and that is okay.

the new Korvold art makes me feel weird

God this video was depressing, and I mean that as a compliment to how effectively you made your point. I dont necessarily agree with *every* example being AI, but enough of them give me that Ick you so eloquently describe, and now I'm scrolling through Foundations art and my heart is just sinking. Why do two of Sire of Seven Death's hands have one fewer fingers than the others? Why does the way the humans on Dauntless Veterans stick out in the foreground feel so unnatural?? Why is there SO MUCH symmetry in backgrounds, and why do background details so frequently blur into unnatural abstraction, like on Banner of Kinship??? I'm not decrying any of these examples as Definitely AI, but the fact that we're at a point where it is ALWAYS a possibility, and always something I'm at least aware of, is depressing

I'm an artist. Intuitive revulsion is NOT objective. The revulsion the scholars felt in the example in the beginning is because they have spent years looking at art frommthat period/region and the statue does not fit what they're used to seeing. Most people cannot tell something is AI at a glance, and everyone is hypervigilant about it because of how quickly companies have been to adopt the tech. There's a difference in art between something being correct and something LOOKING correct. The Urza's Cave you showed doesn't look like AI, it looks like concept art. It's rough in most places and it's detailed where the eye is supposed to be drawn, but it's not very refined all over. The anime version of that wizard is not mirrored. At a glance you can see plenty of differences going from one side to another just like the original. The pose is very similar, but I'm sure the artist just wanted to pay homage to the original, and the composition couldn't really be changed much without sacrificing the original 'vibe' that he's going for, with the imperfect mirror. The art from Duskmourn doesn't look like AI to me. The demon with the 6 horns and 6 eyes looks like it might have been a mixture of photobashing and digital painting. It doesn't have any signs of AI hallucinations to me. The screaming nemesis DOES have a face; it's right in the middle, you can make out eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Valgavoth has visible paint strokes, and shows signs of an artist's hands, and frankly I find all of the images of him that you found uninspired and unevocative to be quite the opposite. The one of Valgavoth with the golden strands brings to mind his intentions to consume and destroy every world he can get his hands on, the strands are his influence, the baubles are worlds, and the thing in the middle is either the world he's consuming or marina vandrell wrapped in a coccoon of his dubious protection. I don't think Magic is using AI. I think their brand is closely tied to hiring artists and that using AI in any broad way would damage it. That said I think it's much more likely that they'll start slipping AI into things like dungeons and dragons where the artists aren't as front and center.

Immediate subscription. Brilliant video. I had the same reaction to Urza's Cave in particular. At *best*, you're wrong about the examples you cited and they're just uninteresting or uninspired pieces, likely pressed out of overworked artists. At worst, the problem is already deeper than you've explained here...

I wasn't entirely too sold on these cards being ai art until Doomsday Excruciator. It's not even a well hidden abuse of ai

I know the artist for all of my favorite cards, Yoked Ox was painted by Ryan Yee who also did BFZ expedition fetches. And obviously RKF art is super distinguishable.

So this vid pops up on my timeline. It's a topic I care about so decided to check it out. Haven't finished yet, and would normally wait till the end to comment but I had to stop when I saw myself! Was not expecting that! Good video though, am enjoying it so far. I hope we find out at the end whether that statue is real or not

I've gone through about 15 different visual AIs and none of them are creative. After some time you can pretty easily see repetition of 'core approaches' - like for example each AI is hard locking into same compositions (based on datasets) that cannot be broken free of. All AIs cause terrible frustration in hands of a professional because there's like no true versatility at all. Take a look at how AI destroyed the uniqueness (visual language) of eldrazi - the AI just doesn't have any understanding in unique things and if you look at the details it's all trash - there' s not really true interest/structure/depth. What you get are just boring averages without anything special. Sure the lighting is good and faces can be good too if you're after something non-special, but that's all AI has to offer today. Well, Magic is done anyways due to Universes Beyond and all the product overflow in general - all that's left is just a hollow money making framework.

Dang a video about ai art lol

Great inclusion of The Red Bobcat's video. It really drives home how many sets are jammed into Standard alone. In a world where Hatsune Miku's accepted as an "artist" by many fans, let alone machine generated art, things are slipping further down the slope. Hearing the Magic Historian's clip about artists getting slammed with deadlines for 5 pieces in a time where they can reasonably compete 2 means that higher ups are turning the screws on creative folks more and more which is disheartening. The art, made by artists, it what first attracted me to the game.

I don't think any of the artwork is AI generated, it's only send to be because it looks so soulless. Which is the lowest way an artist can be humiliated. If they don't seem to care about their art, why should you?

On the subject of false positives, I bet the art for Mind Stone by Adam Rex would be raked over the coals if it was new today.

I love this ! Non intimidating, easy to follow and bullet proof explanation ❤

Ai "art" is such an affront to the soul, what it means to be human.

Iron warriors have never been colorful. This model has no bonding studs or trim to paint brass. The body glove is a dusty grey black. The chainswords have never been colorful other than stripes. Iron warriors are IRON. Plain and simple

You’re terrible at satire. You’re just salty. The arrogance to “critique” a multiple time golden demon winner who clearly has a superior grasp over the process and art/color theory in general 🤡 Complain about cracks and crevices in the junk pack, looking too bright, and then immediately say it looks dusty and old, which are exact situations when something would have brightness in the crevices 😂. You can’t even keep it consistent It only took him more than 40 minutes because of the hazards fucking up You can clearly see the blue through the umber wash on the chest legs and arms 🤡. Get new glasses, you’re blind as well as dumb

great video! I would probably put a toothpick in to strengthen the tall column.

For the great horned rat, yes yes!

Hey buddy great job overall, I’m working on my skaven army with and doing similar things with the warlock jezzails and rat ogres. Are you playing 8th edition? Is that why you put them on 20mm bases?

Very cool 😎. It’s fun to just mash up those little pieces with other different things . Your talent is great.👍 Mike

I love it!

You ever thought of trying small zip ties for the power cables on the legs?

Just for the record, rope has never been (and cannot be) used in barrel making. The metal hoops aren't just simple strips of metal, they are actually formed into complete conical rings first, then the wooden staves are arranged inside the hoop(s), then each hoop is driven by hammer from each end toward the center to create a super tight friction fit. It's actually quite impressive how it all works. If you've never seen it done, I highly recommend checking out some videos on the subject, it's interesting stuff. Anyway, you'd never be able to hold a barrel together with rope, it would just collapse into a pile of boards.

I miss the days when this was a Gaslands channel.

coca cola is death in a can, don't do it ...

Great video. But the high pitched whine all the way through the audio is really painful to listen to. Might want to turn off the fan or whatever it is when recording the audio. Or play around with the audio settings in post to get rid of it. Recording audio in your wardrobe with a duvet over your head will likely give you excellent audio for this kind of thing. If you can't hear it that's likely because you are older than me (you can't hear higher pitches as you get older) or have simply got used to it and now your brain automatically filters it out.

You fight with the superglue soaking in the cardtsock. Did you try working with hotglue? (I See later you work with hotglue)

I get my cereal boxes a litte damp and the product label peels off. I have a nice stack of this cardboard and use it for most of my crafting. Good job on thise barrels.

Great work as always 😘😘

Nice! Great to see content on this amazing channel again. Even if your a dirty Traitor... Sigismund would take any of the Iron Warriors. Any chance of more Gaslands content btw?
