This was more of an anime thing but when I thought about it, this could possibly be something new artists may want to use in the future so, fuck, why contain it

G*MIC (a plug in for GIMP and krita) does that thing with a few filters since years ago, if I'm not mistaken. I've used it to put flat colors on my drawings.
I like the idea that the hack colorists will be put out of work by machines and the people who know what they're doing like Dave Stewart, Dean White, or Jordie Bellaire will still get work
I really don't see fully colored printed manga being the wave of the future. I can see colored Japanese webcomics or webtoons being a thing however.
Pretty sweet mate.
It's neat and a useful shortcut for coloring in some situations I guess. I don't think it'll replace colorists.
It's a little wonky, but it's fun to mess around with.
Fully colored printed manga wouldn't happen not because of resources but because printing costs are still a thing no matter how efficient the process gets
Yeah, I forgot to add that part plus color printings tend use higher quality glossy paper.
I didn't know how exactly it would go, so I went a little sloppy with the colours
bumpin to see more examples posted
It's not working for me.
Using Firefox, and everytime I upload an image it starts saying "Now Coloring..." next to the Colorize button and it won't let me use the brush on the image. It just drags the whole image.
Pretty soon computers will be able to draw things too. It's a sad future for humans when they have robots to create art for them.
It's basically just a smart fill bucket? Might be useful.
Humanity's fault for thinking there's some arbitrary creative element that only humans have which would prevent AI from producing creative works.
We can already procedurally generate piano arrangements that exceed classical compositions in both quality and complexity.
This looks cool
Need to check this out later
This is fun
Thanks for sharing.
i'm coloring naughty things.
So this means colored manga?
No. And if this did get to be used in a widespread level it would be terrible because them all manga would be colored the same way. T
jesus christ how
The future is now
Nice. I'll have to test this later. Between this and waifu2x there are quite a few pieces of tiny sketchy line art that could use some fleshing out.
this is pretty neat, could this work for making webcomics?
Is this supposed to take forever or is my internet shit
depends
Pretty cool with a tool like this any dedicated fan could colorize black and white comics.
Ive found it just doesn't work on some pics.
Either the picture you are giving it is too complex or you haven't given it enough to work with.
It says it wont work with transparency, so that might be affecting you.
Can you think of any reason it wouldn't work? People will probably call you out if they find out though.
meh, i guess you're right.
but it's pretty cool at making things look vaporwave
I'm scared
Dude, the OP pic was one I posted over on Sup Forums.
Why does it always put that ugly pattern on everything?
Also, tip: stuff often looks better if you don't colour suggest at all, just let it do its thing. It can interpret skin, facial features, and hair in clean simple pics.
pretty good, when it comes to some shit
Doesn't work for me. The "colored" image just comes out as a broken img thumbnail
refresh the page.
I'm surprised this isn't getting as much traction on Sup Forums. Guess it's more of an Sup Forums thing.
It won't be done for serialized manga, but some tankobons might get it.
pretty cool
>machines are now taking the job of illustrators.
It's time to fight.
Not really. This is about the same thing as a fill bucket just more advanced. Still requires human input and should be edited afterwards for the desired affect.
it already blends skin tone for you and it's at the hands of mostly amateurs.
No it doesn't it just gives you a soft gradient that's mostly insubstantial and could be done in maybe a minute. It's just something to make working a little bit faster for artists. Or it would be if it didn't apply that gross texture to everything.
Well yeah.
Almost every american comic (with some exceptions) is already professionally colored as opposed to manga where black and white is the standard.
Fucking luddites
I guess this doesn't work with firefox
wow i'm gonna look into this now
Pretty cool shit.
This looks bad
Last bump cause of sleep
colorfags BTFO, the future belongs to linework masteres
how did it know to colour the kokoro?
This is the death of art.
I cant use well on firefox...
I think it recognizes simple mouth shapes and assumed it was a mouth. That's the same colour it uses for small open mouths when I feed it stuff.
man, this is really awesome.
I welcome our new Lenseflares overlords.
Also I remember how everybody used PS gradients back when the tool was still fresh.
>Fuckken' printing press taking the jobs of handwriting monks
Artfags truly are worthless.
Yeah. Only people who don't really know what they're looking at will see these and think they look any better than ameteurish.
This is fun but it could work better.
It works better if you just use dots.
...
Didn't put any settings.

It doesn't seem to like Jack Kirby very much.
No it's not, it's a unique alternative to creating art. Different people desire different things from the art they make and this gives people new alternatives. Classical photorealistic painters will still exist, and they'll be truly passionate about what they do.
They said the same about digital art.

No, that was photography

And they were right.

BURN THE HERETIC Char can still fuck off though.
It's easier but art imho doesn't equal craftsmanship. I know there is a creative feedback loop between the vision you have and the act of drawing.
But do think that the result counts.
I know, some mangaka just retrace photographs but if the result looks great and I get more chapters each year then I don't care.
not bad.
So if Chrome and Firefox don't work, what are y'all using that does work?
firefox works for me, but i had to plug a mouse into my surface for some reason.
They turn everything into a OC with heterochromian eyes and a old school porn filter.
even better than what you intended greatwork

"Making a drawing takes time and effort" isn't really an art problem.
This is pretty dope.

Some porn manga. It's not worth your time.

Excuse me?
Thank you.
Even computer generated content has to get some input and someone has to check it if it's great.
If a computer can do it itself then you have a real AI and then we have bigger problems.
But AI is pretty shit at the moment.
