Wait, so we won’t even color any more? In the utopia of our Transistorized Overlords, we must even hand over our crayons?

Have comic book colorists already been replaced by software, or is this the final nail in that coffin?
If anything, comic book inkers have been replaced by it and the colorists are thriving. It’s not that the software is doing the inking – it’s just obviated a role defined by a printing process and now getting absorbed into other roles’ digital workflow (or simply skipped)

That makes a lot of sense. I imagine that getting art camera-ready is a different process these days than it was 30 years ago. There’s probably no camera, for one thing.

I interviewed the creator of PaintChainer Daisuke Okanohara for my podcast Disrupting Japan.
https://www.disruptingjapan.com/
That episode wont be out for a few weeks, but PaintChainer was developed as a kind of proof-of-concept for Chainer, their open source AI and distributed deep learning library.
Everyone thought it was cool, so they made it widely available, but its not intended to be a real product or business.
There is a lot of cool stuff happening in Japan right now.
Who else thinks that Rob should swap his current profile picture for the little pirate he sketched?
