* My AI Methodology

I believe AI is bad for society, our cognition, and the artistic process. I don’t use it to generate storylines or characters, but do use it to create visual assets that I then modify in Canva. It is a struggle to use it because the algorithm constantly steers me away from my vision and towards a generic version of the art I want to make. I only use AI for this comic because it’s a passion project that I’m publishing free of charge on my personal website. My preference would be to work with a human cartoonist; reach out if you’re an artist interested in collaborating.
