Vent: gallery owner in Austin laughed at my AI-assisted comic pages
I showed this guy 12 finished pages where I used AI to speed up the background work, and he goes 'so you're not really drawing these then' right in front of a group of buyers. I told him I still penciled every character and did all the inking myself, but he just shrugged and moved on to another artist's booth. Has anyone else had their process dismissed like that at a local show, or is it just me running into the wrong crowd?

And honestly, he kind of had a point, didn’t he? If the backgrounds are doing the heavy lifting and you’re just cleaning up the character layers, that’s a legit gray area for a gallery crowd that pays for pure handcraft. I mean, you said it yourself, you used AI to speed up the boring parts, so why act shocked when a buyer assumes the whole thing is less “yours”?
