My I ask what type of stretching you are doing instead? I'm curious as I'm running through a similar thing of bouncing to the doctor and getting physios with mild success only.

Mari did some of my favorite character designs when we worked on The Cycle way back and kept creating some crazy cool environments for the projects after πŸ”₯

You should hire her now πŸ—Ώ

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.

If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

Panel 1: A man is yelling, spitting, shaking with rage, pointing his finger forward and saying "EASTERN ART AND ANIMATION IS BETTER!!!"

Panel 2: Another man is is also in absolute fury, veins bulging, clenching his fists, yelling back "NO!! WESTERN ART AND ANIMATION IS!!!"

Panel 3: We see these two character continuing to rage and argue in the background as two plain characters labeled "Eastern Art and Animation" and "Western Art and Animation" make out passionately in a nearby alleyway.

After every mission, the pilot debriefs with her Handler kneeling. The frame is explicitly designed to sit; It is not a default storage position, but a manually assumed stance each time, demonstrating her devotion. This dynamic has shown to improve efficiency in the field. She loves it.
