Has anyone got any classic hiphop covers or viral moments in picture form? :

Since this thread is now stickied, some thoughts

I'm really conflicted by this project
On one hand, to anyone who's working on themselves to create art in these fukked up times. After the first post I got mad excited to see a unique idea being developed into something real.





But

fukk outta here with these soulless prompted bullshyt ass AI "renders" manipulating a grotesque c00n figure into iconic moments.

What's your message here?

I get it, you want to monetize these shyts in some way. You wanna make money off AI generated dusthead drawings out of our heroes?

Or is this just a photorealistic version of a bored ape NFT, generated by the hundreds without any purpose other than pushing capitalism?

I’ll never shyt on someone being productive but why such a negative image of a black man. I mean this ain’t the age of Sanford & Son or Good Times so I’m not sure where your market is.

What’s the character foundation outside of being a disfigured dust head? Is he Wise? In Recovery? Maybe you have a vision that we’re not aware of

this dovetails into ongoing discussions here and beyond about how the NBA is covered in media. The coverage is generally sensational disrespectful demeaning etc. In essence it has very little to even do with basketball

There's an enduring legacy of such being the means of selling black people to a white consumer market :

I cannot assign motive to the op, but his approach has been viable throughout history

I appreciate your comments and critique. Honestly it means much.

The character is your local misfit in a series of other characters living on a hiphop street. I have had this character for years so when I use this on the coli to showcase the level I am at production wise.

I am an afrocentric so not tap dancing at all. I love humor so this are funny sketches. A hiphop Forrest Gump showing up at all kind of big moments is funny.

Please feel free to ask any questions, but I am far from mocking my own people being that I am even West African myself.

It's just some illustrations I did then upscaled, rendered and detailed it to the finish in the first post.

If you can not see any of the images, I will reload them. Props on the comment and ignore the misdirection it is one of many characters in the series and sketches.

I appreciate you Moderators, please do ignore any misconstrued buck jiving. I work very hard when I am not at work creating illustrations characters and background hours after hours. I then vectorize, upscale and fine tune. I have written several stories and scripts so I am putting it all in use thanks to AI audio and video. Instead of waiting on MP3 and WAV requests I can do all scenes and voices myself. I hope this inspires others, anyway some other characters below :

Just the local delinquent there are several in this street.

This is Princes ex bitter band member of the street.

The local Mayor.

Some background work :

The local Pac monument that comes alive when tripping off ayewaska or something.

I drew every last inch from from my line tool then rendered it all before I even began vector or up-scaling. You broke my negro spirit!!

Try this Bro, hope it works it is from an uploading host that normally works here.

Eminem. The first picture is from me drawing using the MSP line tool and this is before vectoring, adjusting then rendering.

After this I take it to various upscalers and it comes out with much attention and work to a finer finish. I am going for the claymation appeal but still will be using all the 2D works I have thus far in some other format. I'm still going I clock in later on in the day for shift but I will check on any responses or input. I appreciate it and the Eminem image is what I am doing right now it is still going through adjustments but I need to leave soon. Just linking the Eminem dating show audio I have then put in some hours this evening.

I am overwhelmed with Joy and possibilities lol. Peace!

 

[Crumple]

These are all so incredibly dope!

Pure creativity!

I want you to become a millionaire off your work, straight up!

The motion and movement is proper. Great work!

 

[BlackDiBiase]

2 more darts, its fitting up to be a merry Christmas.





A few issues with the claymation versions but slow motion is better than no motion lol.

I appreciate you Bro.

If you need more links or any other works then feel free Bro!

 

[BlackDiBiase]

Made all this myself from the beat and etc and etc.

I'm coming for Aries Spears title. I found the perfect voice to use for my stand up in the series I am working on. Here are some clips. You might recognize the voice I altered lol.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

I put an intro and outro and messed up the sync of the motions. These are just some practice darts, need to do a whole bunch of re-edits.
