Imagine if all artists gave up when photography came out. Or when CGI happened. Or when digital printing happened. Or even when scanning and piracy of content happened. We would have missed out on some amazing art. AI will gobble up some jobs just like those other inventions did. But not all. Comic art, which is stylistic dynamic line art storytelling is the hardest art I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried a few in my day. Probably because it isn’t just illustration. It isn’t just drawing a single image. It’s learning anatomy, composition, acting, pacing, directing, cinematography, lighting, mood, and somehow making it all your own individual style to set it apart from the rest. so much goes into knowing how to convert a script into visuals. I think that’s the one AI will have the hardest time to emulate. Reality that is highly rendered is what it does best, also reality mixed with other artists stolen styles to make a single image or a slightly moving image. Luckily that is not what comics are known for. Get good. Get your own style. And tell stories.
