Method and Process

Every technique here serves one purpose: the final result.

The only tool that truly speeds things up is Photoshop. Everything else is just work. I’ve done lettering by hand with dip pen and ink, and I don’t plan on going back.

From experience: everyone who tried to learn my technique (Daz Studio + render + Photoshop) found the process complex, time-consuming, and difficult. No exceptions. AI in rendering isn’t simple either, it requires time, patience, and a lot of manual editing.

This is a proof of concept, above all for myself, that it’s possible to use Artificial Intelligence as an auxiliary tool with clear authorial direction.

The tools used come from companies with proper curation and legal grounding, trained on public domain images and licensed datasets, allowing for commercial use.

Everything has human direction.

Pipeline: human concept and script; Daz Studio base + render; layout, design, and lettering in Photoshop; guided AI application (image-to-image render with a custom filter I developed); final editing and finishing in Photoshop.
