- both know about it, Jade and Critikill too...
I was planning to write a separate article about it, but Critikill's article was the spark...
But let's look at the consequences:
Yesterday, 2 Atari graphic designers contacted me and thanked me for revealing the facts to the public...
The result of my post was that several people left the SWEET16 team and the FB group. Then they will start competing in competitions where the chances are equal.
Jade in the Atari demoscene discord group naturally got embarrassed!:D doesn't understand why this is a problem!:D
Someone else asked and admitted that he converted it (I have a screenshot):
"- user: But jade, did you use the squid reference linked as a reference? Or isn't that the truth?
- Jade: It's the truth. Sure. I had an image in mind. I searched for a reference, did a quick convert and combined it with the rest I added to the octopus, added the human body with the octopus, i did some dithering on the octopus as well to make it look nice again after the convert and added additional art. At the end it is my artwork, because I created something new."

The rules of the party are absolutely clear:
https://www.sillyventure.eu/en/compos
"The entries must be original, they cannot be plagiarism, alteration or a scan of a photograph."
Of course everyone is hysterical about why there are rules in a competition, everyone can do whatever they want.
of course they don't want to hear about freestyle. because that's not glory for them...
I'm sure that the result of these changes will be that talented graphic designers will return to the scene. - isokadded on the 2025-02-01 11:09:15

It could be argued that the value of some works lies in precisely that:
Montage and dithering. No?
I want to see his work, not how he can copy his own image from other works... - isokadded on the 2025-01-27 18:49:35

- Now I get to the "AI survey among Amiga graphicians" article...
Quote:when Made or Facet or Critikill create a piece of pixel art, they are setting a bar to strive for and learn from.
Critikill and Facet "talented" artist?!
wtf?!:D simple copycats!
Facet create a montage other artist works,AI and repixeling...

winnning top 3 graphic competitions, all copy, rework bullshit:
but, Archmage he got to the point:
Quote:
- The C64 and Amiga pixel scene has gone to shit because of AI already, and is not interesting to me as an artist anymore. Most people don't care how an image is made as long as it has a WOW-factor, so in that sense AI is already accepted. We all know that several of the big guns in the scene use AI all the time, and with some exceptions they are not very open about it. It is only wrong if you get caught, right?
We need to separate "cheater" images from real creations.
eg: AI, freestyle category. these have existed before.
But we need to take the purity of the entries seriously, because it is true that cheaters are submitting "fake stages"...
this is how the "cheater" managed to keep real artists away from graphic competitions.
This "talented artist" release 5-6 AI gen/copy image/month...
They were flooded the demoscene with AI converted shit.
Several graphic artist have joined forces and are offering to the organizers to pre-judge the entries for the graphic competition.
This is the humanmadepixels.

Excerpt from the document:
Quote:Graphics competitions:
The demoscene is often competitive. This has been an important part of the C64 scene for most of its 40 year history and graphics competitions are a natural part of this. Their tradition is to emphasise creativity. Most competitions rely on strict rules set by the organisers in order to ensure that the prize (a trophy, money, or sometimes just kudos) is given to the one that deserves it.
It will often be the case that:
- The artist is expected to reveal elements of their process in order to demonstrate the originality of the art.
- The artist is asked to provide work stages (5–10) or a timelapse of the creation process, from an empty screen to the final piece..
- The artist is expected to reveal their references, either as images or a written description.
- When working on a remake or “fan art”, the artist is expected to reference the inspiration or original piece (if applicable).
- You are expected to follow copyright laws.
- The submitted artworks might be pre-juried.
- Use of AI and conversion tools is commonly frowned upon.

to criticize the sources of inspiration of any artist
this is not a criticism, but facts.
these "pictures" are far from being a criticism of anyone! :D
inspiration? let's call it theft, that's more appropriate. - isokadded on the 2025-01-25 21:56:37

- Great stuff, but it has a small beauty flaw...
Critikill "article" a next level (maybe AI based) bullshit!:D
"But for us, it's not just about the ideas and pixel art itself."
"In a world dominated by ever-changing trends and technologies, our work is a valuable legacy."
"valuable legacy": converted/traced/repixeled AI pictures, someone arts, fake stages, cheating the graphics competitions, lies te audiences...
I made it a personal matter.
Because I know how hard it is to create anything from scratch, with my own knowledge!
I don't care if someone steals pictures, generates AI, makes a stupid montage of it and pixelates it.
This is an amateur, childish, lame thing on my part.
But do it. But then go to the Freestyle, AI category and you're done. Compete at your own level!
We're at the point where real artists don't add the entry at partys. Because pictures that cheaters end up in the top 3 and winning sometimes. Anyone who started at every party before, now only starts at those where the competition is equal. This is 3 maybe 4 party...
If he didn't enter the graphic competition, I wouldn't bother with him.
But he's NOT among the artists who create their images from scratch!
This is the major problem!
Critikill mass-producing "bullshit art" (converted/repixeled images).
The uninformed crowd applauds: "How beautiful"!
If they knew that the basis of these images was not his own, they wouldn't applaud.
He wouldn't even make it to the graphics competition, because they would disqualify him before it even happens. Just add fake stages, so anyone who doesn't know what to look for will believe it.
He shouts that "we don't respect his free art"...
Anyone who cheats the competition doesn't deserve respect!
This is the Critikill "legacy":
(A few examples, I could list them all...)
