Artificial intelligence is a good servant but a poor master. It needs guidance with artistic vision and strong expertise in design programs by its side. When AI is guided through image manipulation, digital painting and drawing, its true potential is revealed. To meet this need, I developed Smart Art - the artistic leadership and guidance of artificial intelligence. Smart Art is the dialogue with human and AI - I serve as a visual interpreter between the client and AI.

✦ Smart Art FAQ ✦

Smart Art is the artistic leadership of artificial intelligence. It's dialogue between humans and AI - Taika is the visual interpreter between you and AI.

What is Smart Art?

Smart Art is the artistic leadership of artificial intelligence. I create Smart Art using Photoshop, my digital painting skills and AI. I've developed the Smart Art concept and my unique digital transformative workflow associated with it from the very beginning. With Smart Art, the collaboration between humans and AI becomes seamless - by telling AI what is desired and guiding it through drawing and image manipulation, better and higher quality results are achieved compared to text prompts alone. Smart Art is a dialogue between humans and AI - I serve as the visual interpreter between the client and AI.

AI art is created using text and image prompts. A person provides prompts to the AI, and the AI generates images based on those prompts. With Smart Art, image generation isn't solely reliant on prompts. AI can be guided through techniques like digital painting, image manipulation, using photographs, or even drawing by hand! By combining various programs and techniques, the best possible outcome is achieved.

Artificial intelligence is a good servant but a poor master. It needs a guide with artistic vision and strong expertise in design programs by its side. When AI is directed through image manipulation, digital painting and drawing, its true potential is manifested.

Of course you can, but you don't have to! I've spent over a thousand hours gathering information from various websites, watching YouTube videos, and practicing with image generators. Additionally, I've self-taught advanced usage of Photoshop and Krita throughout my career. I continuously maintain and update my expertise to align with industry trends. I have the full capability, knowledge, and experience to provide expertise in a concise package for you, so you don't need to invest time and effort into learning yourself.

Of course, you can generate images yourself. With just a text prompt, it's possible to achieve impressive results. However, creating images often turns into trial and error, especially if crafting high-quality text prompts isn't familiar to you. Smart Art saves you time and effort. You don't need to generate multiple images and select the best; you get exactly what you want. I guide the AI with my creative vision and digital painting skills according to your wishes. The end result is human-made, eliminating the same copyright concerns as images created solely from text prompts.
