Character design and Illustration titan, Peter de Sève is nervous about A.I. Not for its capabilities but because studios are so driven by the bottom line, they’ll lean on the tool more rather than human imagination. There’s an epidemic of generic character design in the industry at the moment and de Sève wants to fight it.
Speaking to Peter on the podcast today was a huge honour of mine. He breaks down his incredible career, Illustrating for the New Yorker to moving across to animation starting with The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and his seminal work with Blue Sky Studios on Ice Age.
I’m delighted to have shared this discussion with her about:

How studios will seek to use A.I. as part of their design pipelines
Imposter Syndrome
Advice on how to become a great illustrator

& so much more in this conversation!
I’m excited to hear your opinions and thoughts!
