AI creators push back on 'just commission an artist': most can't afford $300 a sprite
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-09
Another round of the AI-art vs. artists feud:
- The quoted post argues "just commission an artist" assumes everyone has $300 for a single character sprite; most people with ideas choose between AI or nothing
- The main poster adds that daily attacks on AI creators miss this, and publicly offers a 50-50 profit split to any 3D artist willing to hand-model all assets for the project "It wants you to stay"
Highlights indie creators' budget constraints and the hostility between the two camps.
