I know there are many great works of the Emperor and I’ve selected these 6 since they are similar in composition for the first of the “Artwork Combat” polls I plan on doing. Select your favorite rendition of the Emperor of Mankind and see who wins.
I gotta say this website has come a long way and it really shows the care, dedication and just amount of joy you put into the hobby amazing work kept it up 🫡👌
Thank you very much, it is a labor of love to my addition to plastic crack. LOL I don’t play anymore but I still love the lore, art, hobby and painting models.
Emperor by Vlad Parkhomenko is blatant and unretouched AI gen. I do not know your opinion/policy about AI artworks on this site, but it feels weird to put it in the poll together with non-AI artworks
I cannot say for 100% that it is or isn’t AI generated or maybe partly but judging from their other work in their gallery this is not something beyond their level. I will normally tag art with AI if I notice it but the source doesn’t have this listed as using AI. They have some AI work on their Instagram and gallery. If it is AI I wouldn’t include it with more traditional works.
I have checked Vlad’s Artstation gallery, and all of his 2D artwork is AI gen, some of it post-edited. As a person who non-professionally worked with Stable Diffusion image generation, I am 100% certain it is indeed generated (the more you work with AI, the easier it becomes to spot genned artworks), but i leave the judgement for you 🙂
