Warning: I spent $300 on a 'revolutionary' AI art generator subscription that just copied existing styles.
I thought it would help me create unique marketing images, but after 6 months I realized all it did was mimic popular artists from DeviantArt without adding anything new, so has anyone found an AI tool that actually helps develop a distinct visual style?

Check out training a custom model on your own work, that's how you get a real unique style. I've been feeding a local Stable Diffusion setup my old sketchbook scans and it's starting to spit out stuff that actually feels like mine. It takes more effort than a subscription but the output is way more original.

Saw a video about training models on personal art last week. It looked super cool but way over my head tech wise. Your setup sounds awesome though.

That 'feeling like mine' part is what got me thinking though... like what happens when you train on someone else's style without them knowing? @noah135 you're doing it right with your own sketchbooks, but I've seen people grab random artist portfolios off DeviantArt and call it 'inspired by.' There's a whole gray area nobody talks about where the line between homage and theft gets blurry... especially when the model starts mixing signatures or watermark fragments into the output. Reminds me of that whole situation with the guy who trained on Greg Rutkowski's work without permission.
