idk who needs to hear this but seeing AI images in a professional art portfolio is a huge red flag to potential employers who actually have any understanding of ai and want to protect themselves. legally, they can’t own the images produced which means neither can their clients who want to buy rights to said images or designs produced.
practically, they can’t trust an ai prompter to be able to produce the work needed on demand since they’re limited to the whims of the ai, including the weird pixel sludgy style it spits out. there’s no guarantee that a prompter can make art on their own right and therefore be able to edit an ai image to appropriately fit a client’s need, much less bring it to a state where it becomes properly useful for a particular industry.
in my industry (themed entertainment), we have to be able to eventually build our designs. if you hand me ai pixel sludge, it’s probably going to be unbuildable. how do you make CAD elevations from a building where the roof grows into the nearby trees? and that’s not even getting into the inherent meaninglessness of it all since no real choices went into the image beyond the prompt’s search terms.
My family is having a really hard financial time at the moment and I am struggling to find a job. So, if people would be interested, I might just set that up.
If you would, what prices would you pay for something like the artworks I showed you? Not what is reasonable for the quality of work, but what you'd pay. While underselling myself would not be ideal, I understand that art is a luxury and there is only so much someone can dedicate to it. Even if it is something like $5 or $10 for it, I'd rather have money than not.
