Hi! I just trained a model to draw in the style of the late Kim Jung Gi, as an hommage.
I'm fairly happy with the results, given how complicated is his style.
Hope you like it, feel free to use it by yourself (credit plz) :

The proper way to honor Kim Jung Gi would be to pick up a pencil or brush and π’π€π΅πΆπ’πππΊ π₯π³π’πΈ.
This simulacrum might be well intentioned, but it misses the point not by a mile, but a lightyear.
But I'm in AI image generation these days, to each his own hobbies.
And what is "the point" ?
Some people just tweet a RIP, I do that.

KJG was an actual human artist. He was all about drawing and observing and honing your craft. Pumping decades of his irreplicable, personal to him work into an algorithm and churning out some bastardized AI version isn't an homage.
This is digital necromancy.

Bro, making a code of the level of complexity of this AI is more difficult than recreating any drawing ever made. There isn't one way to honor people. And this man did something incredible, so until you not only recreate his code from scratch, but also recreate every KJG drawing.

Turning someone into a digital zombie, forever churning out stale imitations of the real thing, there is no honor to be found here.
There's nothing incredible or complex about this. Anyone can pull a ML project from Github and stuff a bunch of images into it to train a new model.

it's a tool like photoshop or a pencil so I don't know what are you talking about?
