How AI Helps Me as an Artist and Content Creator 

Life as an Artist During the War

I started as a traditional artist, but today I am also learning video editing, vector design, web design and animation. In other words, I am slowly becoming a full content creator. My original goal was to finish all my courses before New Year, but that turned out to be unrealistic. You simply cannot learn everything in a few months, especially while living through a war.

Electricity is often unavailable. Some days we only get four hours of power. All I can do is charge my laptop and tablet and spend a little time online. I do not want to scare you with how many bombs passed near my home or how hard it is to stay healthy in these conditions. I already have gray hair and after living for three weeks in a house at fifteen degrees Celsius, I lost two teeth because old problems got inflamed.

Working as an Indie Creator

Besides everything happening around me, I still have client work. I usually spend about three weeks a month working for one client, and I am very grateful for that support.

But building more content for my manga project Witch Pie, developing new stories and animations and creating promotional artwork for Patreon is difficult to do alone. That is why your support matters so much.

Manga Witch’s Pie on Patreon

The subscription to Punny Panda Studios is only six dollars a month. With one hundred to three hundred monthly patrons, I will be able to publish more manga chapters, animations and exclusive content for my readers. Indie creators often hide great ideas because they do not have the resources to bring them to life. With your help, I can.

Why AI Is Important for Modern Artists

Large companies dominate the creative market and the same group of elite creators keeps releasing their stories. Independent artists rarely get the same opportunities. It is not that their stories are bad; it is simply that the system protects its own.

Many artists reject AI completely. Some platforms even ban it. At the same time, people who never learned to draw create AI-generated content and publish mini films and illustrations just by paying twenty dollars a month or using free tools. It is a challenging time for digital artists, especially for those without big followings.

How AI Tools Can Help You as a Creator

AI can be a powerful tool if you use it wisely.

Build Your Personal Brand

This is why I created my website. It is more valuable to have one hundred thousand website visitors than one hundred thousand followers who may stop seeing your posts. A personal site gives you stable visibility and stronger SEO.

Publish Your Manga Worldwide

I am not a native English speaker, and AI helps me translate my writing into natural and fluent English. It also helps me prepare versions for other languages. Thanks to AI translation tools, I can publish my manga in Japan and China on platforms available in their markets.

Create AI-Assisted Content

You can use AI to create promotional images, character art, storyboards and even small indie games for streaming. AI tools help you generate variations, concepts and ideas much faster.

Buy a Character and Bring Them to Life with AI

I also sell original characters. When you buy one, you get complete creative freedom. You can upload their illustration to an AI tool and customize everything. You can change their expressions, outfits, style and even create animated versions.

If you purchase a character as an NFT, you gain full blockchain-level ownership. Nobody else can legally use or resell that character.

Think About How AI Can Help You

AI is not here to replace you. It can help you create faster, publish globally, grow your audience and express your ideas in new ways.
