STANCE ON AI: To show a prospective client that your art isn’t AI-generated, you can use a combination of process transparency, technical proof, and personal branding. Here’s a comprehensive approach:
1. SHOW YOUR PROCESS (PROOF OF WORK)
Document and share your workflow:
-
WIP (Work-in-Progress) images or videos: Post sketches, layers, or progress GIFs.
-
Time-lapse videos: Use screen-recording software (like OBS, Procreate’s built-in recorder, or Photoshop’s Timeline tool) to capture your work in real time.
-
Annotated steps: Post a breakdown of your process — from concept to finished piece — with notes about your creative decisions.
This helps clients see the human touch, imperfections, and iterative process — things AI often lacks.
2. MAINTAIN AND SHARE EDITABLE SOURCE FILES
-
Provide layered PSD, Procreate, Clip Studio, or other source files when requested (or watermarked versions).
-
Layer names, groups, sketch layers, and even timestamps embedded in file metadata can show the progression and authenticity of your work.
3. INCORPORATE PERSONAL ELEMENTS
-
Include your handwriting, signature, or hand-drawn elements that are clearly personal.
-
Develop a recognizable style that includes quirks or methods that are hard to replicate with AI.
-
Mention your background influences, inspirations, and references — AI can't explain its thought process or personal connection to a piece.
4. USE PLATFORM VERIFICATION OR TIMESTAMPED POSTS
-
By sharing your art on Artist Armor you show timestamped uploads with blockchain-based proofs.
5. WRITE ABOUT YOUR WORK
-
Include artist statements with each piece, even brief ones.
-
Talk about your concept development, emotional goals, and technical challenges.
-
AI can't easily replicate a consistent personal voice that evolves across multiple pieces.
6. WATERMARK AND TAG SMARTLY
-
Artist Armor will subtly embed your name or logo into your work (not just on the corner). And a copyright notice.
-
As well we use invisible metadata tools.
-
Don’t rely on these alone, but they help reinforce authorship.
7. OFFER COMMISSION WORK OR CUSTOM REQUESTS
-
Let potential clients request a sketch prompt or live drawing session.
-
AI can’t do real-time creative work — you can.
8. TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE TRANSPARENTLY
-
In your profile talk about your stance on AI art.
-
Explain your commitment to original, human-made work — this builds trust.
