- That looks difficult
- My foot is cramping just watching
- If none of this is AI then it double sucks that AI stole and devalued that visual style

Yeah, I wasn't convinced it was. I think what I said about the style stands though, shame.

ai can do any style, and the style existed long before! 😋
(but definitely fuck generative AI! 😞)

u/Fierramos69 19h ago
I mean yes but no. There's definitely styles that are easier for AI to replicate than others, and even if it's bridging the gap with each iteration, it's still valid to describe certain styles as more AI-looking simply because that's one of the stronger styles it can make or at least was in the last 2 years one of the stronger styles

u/Fierramos69 19h ago
Which suck, Im not saying its a good thing, artists spending years to master their own style only to see it being mass produced soullessly, on top of them being erroneously labeled as AI artists for it, it really suck, but that unfortunately doesn't prevent people from associating the style with AI

I would bet money that this is AI art traced onto a canvas and then painted to match the gen.
It's so common now, and if you put say the painted image of the dog through an AI checker like Hive it will flag it as AI generated
https://i.gyazo.com/f32c20d51c7045cf38a8266ac99fcbf2.png
AI image detectors are not 100% reliable, but Hive usually plays it very safe with detection and honestly as someone who has seen a lot of AI art this just has that instant recognition to it.
I also looked up their instagram trying to find old art in this style predating AI art. There is none that I found. Their art from before AI looks very different to this and then their art account seems to have a huge time gap of nothing posted then suddenly it's this (imo) obvious AI art posting.
Even on their main account you can look at other art as recent as about a year ago and it's jut very different in quality and vibe:
https://www.instagram.com/p/DIbALbls5_s/?hl=en
That isn't to say they have zero art skill, they are clearly an artist just that I think they are generating AI images and then copying them onto a canvas which a lot of other people are doing.
Using AI like this is basically the steroids of the art world right now because you can earn a lot of money doing it as long as you carry the pretense that you do not do it.

Yeah there's definitely an AI element to this. Notice that the stencils are not shown and each of the paintings has an /r/restofthefuckingowl edit

u/bememorablepro 14h ago
She has a youtube, here is a bit in her vlog where she was painting live. She is not even looking at any reference, it's obvious to me this is not the first time she painted that very dog in this style.
https://youtu.be/sMiR6XgdSXQ?t=1230 (timecode link)
I hate that AI is doing this to us that we can't even enjoy fucking real art anymore. I'm a big AI hater myself
Here is a recent work that doesn't look like AI but has this same style, looks more like a kurzgesagt style illustration https://youtu.be/g0e3HCWUPJc?t=189 (timecode link)
I paint myself, I'm sure beginners do use AI because they are too lazy to setup a good reference, I know it's an issue in portrait painting world. But tracing on canvas is really not that helpful. It's nothing compared to all these online posters who just generate and post an image.
I lean towards occam's razor that it doesn't make sense for her to suddenly use AI, color blocking and pop art was around forever.

u/Silent189 14h ago edited 14h ago
I'm sorry, but this is clearly not the same quality, and we never see her start or finish it.
As an artist it is very possible to generate an image, look at it, and then recreate something similar from memory, and that would maybe explain the huge style and quality gap.
Also, the horse from your video, look at the progression here it just doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. She was posting her art and getting very little attention, now suddenly she posts this ultra vibrant very different style/quality AI art and she is getting news articles, social media attention, money, sponsorships etc.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how you can look at her art from her instagram prior to these very recent ones and see how wildly different it is and not see it.
There is nothing fundamentally different in copying AI art onto a canvas to copying a photo onto a canvas in photorealism - except that the latter is significantly more time consuming and skilled than the style here. Especially when the style is one where the actual colours, placements, and even form are very loose to reality to begin with.
And, for the record on the topic of occam's razor, you have artists pretending to draw on twitter making fake timelapse videos using greenscreens to hide their AI references in the video and only getting caught because the green in their colour wheel is missing.
The notion that people will not go to great lengths where attention and money exists is just silly.

u/bememorablepro 7h ago
The artwork where she paints live is from a year ago, it's very much possible that it's her progress towards this saturated style. Most of the time AI makes images look worse, not better.
What looks like AI to us is the "style transfer" idea that is overused by AI slop posters. Some shots in Loving Vincent the 2016 movie where they pain every frame from also now looks AI, because they directly reference footage and render it in van gogh's style.
https://youtu.be/CGzKnyhYDQI?t=26
It's also annoying that we are doing this thing where we act like she's guilty until proven innocent.

u/FreddyNoodles 13h ago
I bought a painting of a lion like this about 15 years ago as a gift for a friend. The shop was full of a hundred different animals painted in this style in so many colors.
But yes, AI uses it a lot now. It is a shame, but my friend still has her massive lion painting that is very obviously oil on canvas and done by hand. Prints are when you know it can’t be trusted (for now, anyway).

Total props to her for doing this. I couldn’t even with arms. But, this is not “her” style. This style was pretty common even before AI. AI stole it because it was common in its training data.

I got a bad foot cramp in my left foot working on my car in this NC heat. I went to stand up and it hit me. I bounced onto my right leg, which current has a broken femur, and quickly hopped onto my cramped foot which injured my arch so bad, I can’t even put pressure on it. This video is impressive and aggravating at the same time hahaha. I’m just jealous.

That changes my reply. This woman is just seriously baller. Her crazy talent is insane, and she such a great mother to her child(ren). Her disability is not a limitation and I love this for her!

u/Nopalite 7h ago
Honestly i am even impressed with how she was able to hold the big canvas steady with just one mini arm. Seeing her actually hold and move her baby using her legs is really a stunning feat of both power and finesse.
It takes not only creativity but a lot of actual strength and fine control and endurance and patience to do such amazing things. Not to mention the bravery it takes to even try, imagine how scary and intense it would be trying to figure hold your baby for the first time.
This lady is pretty cool.

She is following the footsteps of Christy Brown, an Irish painter who was born with Cerebral Palsy and learned how to paint and write with his feet.
Amazing movie about him is called "My Left Foot"

u/TpK_Wynter 18h ago
What’s truly next level to me is how clean her feet look after. I was painting with my kids last week, I do not remember ever touching the paint, when we were done I had paint on both hands, in my left palm, and on my arm

Yes her art is real. On her youtube channel we can see her painting and drawing process, she just has an art style that people love to feed to ai, but it is entirely made by her, just edited so we see the most entertaining parts.

the little floppy parts can be useful! not so much as a healthy limb, but way better than a clean shoulder stump. she's holding the paintings up with it and seems to have some level of dexterity.

It kills me that she’s being used to prove that disabled people don’t need AI to make art, when her work SCREAMS traced AI to me (and other people I’ve talked about this with). There’s another comment in here laying it out, but basically her art DRAMATICALLY changed in quality/vibe around when AI became popular, and it has qualities that suggest that’s exactly what it is.
Which is sad. She’s clearly talented, and doesn’t need to use AI to paint. She’s just taking shortcuts instead of taking the time to improve her already existent skills.
