About Proxima Art
What is Proxima Art?
Proxima Art is a digital art gallery made with AI models. It began as a hobby in 2023 when I started playing around with Stable Diffusion to create pieces from my stories and worldbuilding projects. As the process got more refined, I would post some of the results to DeviantArt as Proxima Galactic. The channel grew and the art types expanded over time. Now Proxima Art has its own website where everyone can enjoy the content. At Proxima Art you can explore a variety of art, including those with mature themes. Some art is exclusive to paid subscribers which allows this website to stay active.
AI and Art
I am not an artist. I can sketch a decent portrait with a pencil but what is shown in the Proxima Art gallery is created with AI in Stable Diffusion, not by hand. As such, I would not place myself anywhere near real artists who made great work. However, I also believe AI generated images can be worthwhile if made with quality, not quantity, as much of the slop out there is. To meet this standard, I do my best to make every image with care, taking time to refine the prompt and edit the image until the result is polished.
AI Ethics
Proxima Art is committed to the responsible use of AI. To that end, no models made to replicate the likeness of real people are used to create images. I also do my best to make it clear that the images are made with AI and fictional.
Why 'Proxima' Art?
‘Proxima’ means next or nearest in Latin. The original name ‘Proxima Galactic’ stood for the idea that the art represented stories from a different world adjacent to our own; or a nearby galaxy. The name has been shortened to Proxima Art although the idea behind it remains the same.
Adult Themes
Proxima Art contains mature content not suitable for all ages. To comply with regulations, new visitors must confirm they are 18+ to view the website. All art here is fictional and characters in art with nudity or erotic themes are over 18.
