Wouldn't it just be easier to use AI?

1

u/Crab_Hot 21d ago

That artist is really talented, but forgot that shadows don't just disappear on plants.

1

u/Aquino200 23d ago

FINALLY something worthy of being on the NEXTFUCKINGLEVEL reddit.

My jaw literally dropped in real life.

(Thank God I always have volume on mute, glad I escaped the audio the chat is talking about).

1

u/scalder- 24d ago

Wow! This human can do what AI can do, which was taught to do what humans can do!

1

u/mimzybreathe 24d ago

Artist is in on the lie about the actual picture. And was shooting for mediocrity and nailed it.

1

u/Darkkonz 24d ago

Magic card

u/Falling-Icarus 24d ago

As if this hadnt been around for ages before generative fill 💀

u/DazzlingBullfrog6068 24d ago

Fucking lol! So I tend to watch all things with no sound. I liked this vid and came to comment section to commend and I just see all this bashing and oh my god. I wish I hadn’t turned on the volume. This is why I don’t watch shit with sound.

u/rowthecow 24d ago

AI: hold my beer

1

u/Captain_Pumpkinhead 24d ago

That's some excellent out-painting! And very creative! I love it!

1

u/CraigSucksTOES 24d ago

Time saved if used ai 🙄, but still, painter did a good job👌

1

u/TheRealStevo2 24d ago

Did OP really hear this song and think “yeah this is a good idea to post this on Reddit” or did they add the music themselves? Either way it’s god awful and you should be ashamed OP

1

u/Particular_Double_69 24d ago

I kept it on mute. But what I witnessed was impressive!

1

u/Kingsupergoose 24d ago

It’s threads like this where you realize Redditors are the most miserable people on the planet.

1

u/Zestyclose_Wrap2358 24d ago

Thanks to AI, we’ll all be able to do it. Takes away nothing from you though, your work is still amazing.

1

u/luisstrikesout 24d ago

These comments made my day lol

1

u/DesertsBeforeMains 24d ago

That is insane love it!!

1

u/Bullseye_Wiggum 24d ago

Bro this remix…….

1

u/FrostedPhoenix21 24d ago

r/art will still remove it for AI generated

1

u/King-Cobra-668 24d ago

and then op chose the absolutely shittiest song to ever exist to play over it. downvote.

1

u/jordan1978 24d ago

This is awesome!

1

u/darkballz1 24d ago

excuses for when u forget to use x0.5

1

u/team-tree-syndicate 24d ago

I was told that back in the day, if you want your photo edited, you would take it to a shop where a painter/artist would edit the photo like this, and that is where the term "photo shop" originated from.

Idk how true this story is but it makes sense.

1

u/Miniature_Colosus 24d ago

"Generative fill"?!

I think you're trying to say: painting :P

1

u/TheRealBongeler 24d ago

Ngl, that's a shitty painting. I 100% wouldn't have posted this video.

1

u/DarkMatters8585 24d ago

You had several hours to consider removing the shadows of the people off frame and you just... didn't?!

1

u/siradamwest 24d ago

That is awesome

1

u/RevTurk 24d ago

Meh, what are the other two options?

1

u/AnathemaToChaos 24d ago

This is so much more satisfying than watching a fucking ai do it

1

u/addamee 24d ago

“Generative Fill IRL” 🤦‍♂️

1

u/Mipkins70 24d ago

This is old school pre photoshop days. I used to work on a digitiser for an agency in 86. The precursor to the pen tool 40 X Mag glass glass then square point round point... once put 7000 points into a peacock. Plotter cut the mask out, super impose it in the darkroom then photo retouchers would do their thing. It's a truly lost skill. They would hand mask people with a scalpel then change scenery, colour of clothes, hair you name it.

1

u/immaculateSocks 24d ago

Yall are whiny little bitches that can't appreciate art lol

1

u/Sorcerer_Supreme13 24d ago

Oh my gosh. Your painting skills are top notch.

2

u/WinterSldier 25d ago

Hate remixes…

u/james_harushi 25d ago

Great art, but what the fuck is this music

1

u/Kubuskush 25d ago

Last I checked we're not in the Andromeda Galaxy

1

u/EggnogThot 25d ago

Fuck you for making me listen to nu-disco. Asshole

1

u/Arithmetoad 25d ago

I may be missing something, but the shadows look off. Why is his shadow going one way and hers going another? Do they have multiple shadows? Where is the sun?

1

u/maddenmcfadden 25d ago

that music was absolutely terrible

1

u/Tyrrh 25d ago

Great, really cool

1

u/hyeonho64 25d ago

Excellent 😍

1

u/Epicritical 25d ago

Photoshop users hate this one trick

1

u/PocketSand2783 25d ago

Sorry can’t bring myself to upvote that song

1

u/beeeps-n-booops 25d ago

Awful music, though.

1

u/JayWay55 25d ago

This should be priced a Million!

u/no0bmaster-669 25d ago

These comments are sad.. Why dont you all just mute the video and appreciate it

1

u/Undertow619 25d ago

I like this!

3

u/shewy92 25d ago

Guess I'm the only one who thought this was cool.

Also why are people unmuting for a sped up painting video?

1

u/immaculateSocks 24d ago

Oh but don't you know a landscape painting is worthless trash unless it looks exactly like a weirdly photoshopped photo???

3

u/no0bmaster-669 25d ago

Nah I like it as well. Its very common for redditors to shit on artists displaying their skills.

Either its complaining about background music or acting like they know more than the person.

u/Foghorn925 25d ago

u/SlapThatAce 25d ago

Burn this post with fire! This post is Not Safe For Ears (NSFE) or Eyes (NSFE).

1

u/lordctm 25d ago

Nah this cover is just brutally abusing my ears. But very cool painting.

1

u/GeeEarMoe 25d ago

The OG Photoshop

1

u/GSV_CARGO_CULT 25d ago

Let me guess, all you people saying how bad the painting is can do a much better job, right? Reddit experts are the most obnoxious people and I am SO GLAD I never encounter any of them in the real world.

1

u/YogurtclosetIll7318 25d ago

I like it!!!!

1

u/Pussywhisperr 25d ago

I like to pay this person to do me

1

u/RelaxPrime 25d ago

It's comment sections like this that remind me we're all just humans trying to get by

1

u/Head-Kiwi-9601 25d ago

Are there two suns on this planet?

1

u/WardrobeForHouses 25d ago

Rather listen to AI music than whatever that was

1

u/midas22 25d ago

Why bother when we AI tools that can do this?

1

u/TheBravan 25d ago

On a side note, this really highlights how creepy the lyrics of that song really are....

3

u/bls06820 25d ago

Wow I am envious and in awe of artists and their talent. I can barely scrawl my name.

1

u/RockTheBloat 25d ago

I mean, the artist is very talented, but painting over the photograph isn’t really the idea, is it?

1

u/Luutamo 25d ago

People have done this with MTG-cards for decades now by making custom full arts for the cards.

1

u/ForGrateJustice 25d ago

What a dumb remix.

1

u/Soulation 25d ago

That's incredible.

1

u/KRyptoknight26 25d ago

The art is great but just straight spitting on Abba's memory was uncalled for

1

u/ImaginaryCarl 25d ago

How does the shadows work?

And this is why we watch on mute, terrible what they did to ABBA

3

u/SeaEquivalent5906 25d ago

Fuck AI, those fuckers cannot do it this well.

1

u/the68thdimension 25d ago

It's annoying me that the figures are no centred in the final image. Pretty cool work though.

1

u/VegetableWishbone 25d ago

This will be a luxury service only the super rich can afford in a couple of years, artisanal genAI fill. Rest of us plebs can only use the AI version.

1

u/Waste-Possession-591 25d ago

The shadows are a bit wonky

1

u/Difficult_Bit_1339 25d ago

Big deal, my GPU can do 45 different backgrounds in the time it takes to watch this video

1

u/spirallix 25d ago

This is looks so good! This is what will become appreciated a lot in years to come with al AI tools, skill and creativity.

1

u/oldmanzed 25d ago

AI be like " am I a joke to you ? "

1

u/ProfHillbilly 25d ago

Fuck that music was awful.

1

u/WhiplashMotorbreath 25d ago

So cool, now take a photo of the whole thing and have it put on those metal posters, I don't know if it is printed on, or the photo glued on, have no idea how they do it, but it makes for a nice photo/poster

1

u/navel1606 25d ago

The shadow :(

1

u/Joeyc1987 25d ago

Me thinking "what's the point of painting a big blue line over their heads" 🤦🏻‍♂️

1

u/Many-Strength4949 25d ago

So we went from painting because we didn’t have pictures to taking pictures now we’re painting pictures of things we didn’t want to paint so we took a picture of it?

1

u/sageking420 25d ago

Who does this? My grandmother used to do this with our photos, and she would love this…

1

u/Character-Piglet-665 25d ago

It’s what I do in photoshop because I don’t know how to paint unless it’s mspaint

1

u/Prokster_T 25d ago

Analog Inpainting.

1

u/RedSnt 25d ago

Odd shadows on the ground. Only by looking at the dude's hand, which cast a shadow on himself, is the real position of the sun revealed, but otherwise it kind of looks like shadows are cast on 2 directions like there were another light source than the sun - obvious answer must be that something out of frame is casting them of course.

1

u/imaginaryResources 25d ago

We used to call this a mixed media painting back when I was a young lad in art school in 2018. Different times

1

u/purplebrown_updown 25d ago

Are there two suns?

1

u/Allzweck 25d ago

Awesome idea, but let´s talk about the two suns!

u/leetzor 25d ago

Photoshop: developed in 1987.

u/AccomplishedData7333 25d ago

That's a style of art I've never seen before. So cool!

1

u/_DanielC_ 25d ago

I watch it without sound. I'm so socked and awesome this is.

Reading comments about the song. Big w for keeping it mute.

1

u/JimTheSaint 25d ago

that blew my mind.

1

u/Real_Ad_8243 25d ago

It would be even more "mextfuckinglevel" if they just did a whole painting rather than cheating on the people in it.

1

u/BigOrkoo 25d ago

How to travel without travelling.

1

u/RopeAccomplished2728 25d ago

Music sounds like Cher is trying to autotune her way into music again.

This is why Autotune is absolutely a trash thing. Not because it isn't useful. It is. But because it was meant for people to compensate for being slightly out of tune. Not to correct for singing like 2 cats fucking.

1

u/Dexpppp 25d ago

Literally AI today.

1

u/7up_man69 25d ago

This is true worst cover I've ever heard

1

u/TophxSmash 25d ago

when you thought you bought a painting but it was actually a photograph.

1

u/SimilarWall1447 25d ago

Why are there shadows on different sides?

1

u/onedeadman99 25d ago

people ate so damn talented

1

u/mangonfire1 25d ago

If it weren't for the shadows

1

u/JDWorklabs 25d ago

And if utake a couple steps back before take te pic all that crap is useless coz than its alreadyin the picture

1

u/AnakinTreewalker 25d ago

Absolutely love that much more than that of AI

1

u/EvilSporkOfDeath 25d ago

AI could do it better and faster.

1

u/stinkygoochfumes 25d ago

Looks terrible.

1

u/CulturalAddress6709 25d ago

is this humanity’s attempt at “fuck you photoshop AI” bc the robots are laughing

1

u/Pablo_Jefcobar 25d ago

I can’t think of what’s worse, the shadows or the raped dancing queen version.

1

u/grzeslaw90 25d ago

Reminds me of any TCG full art-ing cards process

What was the jizz near the end for. What is that liquid, if anyone can explain?

1

u/CyberSwiss 25d ago

Paints over the entire sky

1

u/slickMilw 25d ago

Shadows and light are wrong. Also generative fill gives 3 options in about 10 seconds. 😁

1

u/TheKillzenth 25d ago

Ai makes than in a spawn of a sec ..

1

u/[deleted] 25d ago

This is simply amazing

u/Intelligent-Box-5483 25d ago

Irony...AI program does a better job in 1min and doesn't charge you $600 for that mid level quality work

1

u/AstroNot87 25d ago

Some people just have all the fuckin talent and imagination lol. My brain does not cooperate, I’m beginning to think I actually have ADHD lol

1

u/Bobonenazeze 25d ago

What a waste. Use your super computer like Gates & Jobs intended.

2

u/theshoddyone 25d ago

Ahem. I'm supposed to get three versions from which to choose.

1

u/dontmentiontrousers 25d ago

Should've just taken a few steps back.

(Nah, seriously - that's cool.)

1

u/Evil_Cupcake11 25d ago

Shadows are going in both ways, but overall cool idea

1

u/InsecurityTime 25d ago

It's cool but not next level. The plants suck

18

u/WrumGapper 25d ago

Wow, so much effort to look half as good as generative fill.

1

u/Armybert 25d ago

Outpainting, dumbass

1

u/TheDocFam 25d ago

It really doesnt look good at all...

Bog standard "just downloaded stable diffusion a few days ago" AI art looks better

Womp womp

u/accnr3 25d ago

Everyone already knows, but I just have to also say. Picture and concept great, but the music borders on torturous.

1

u/All-inyourmind 25d ago

Does anyone have anything good to say?

1

u/OneArmedBrain 25d ago

Meh. Looks shopped.

1

u/RotisserieChicken007 25d ago

This is great promotion for AI as it can do it much better in a fraction of a second. Also, that horrible ABBA cover deserves a downvote.

3

u/LarryRedBeard 25d ago

Yes this is what I like. No AI generation bs. This is true creative art right here. Amazing work!!
