Possibilities and precautions for AI design x fan art! Points for safe use

In recent years, AI has become a familiar presence in our lives. Not only are various companies introducing AI into their products and services, but individuals are also increasingly using AI.

Among these, what is attracting attention isAI design x fan artIt is💻

What is AI design x fan art?It's about designing and producing your favorite fan art using generative AI.

Traditionally, people who lack confidence in their drawings have said, ``I want to create fan art, but I can't draw it well myself.''💦” and tended to hesitate to draw.

In recent years, it has become possible to generate high-quality illustrations simply by describing an image in text or imagining a situation.

This makes it easier for fans to express their love for the people and characters they love and share it with other fans.

Fan art is often created as an expression of respect or affection for a person, character, or a scene from a work, and is a form of expression of love for a specific person or work.

For those who say, “I want to send love to my Oshi!” or “I want to express my love for my Oshi in my own way,”Push advertisement®︎(Birthday/ support advertisement)I also recommend💕

Push advertisement®︎(Birthday/Support Advertisement) is a culture that originated in Korea. These are advertisements that fans place as advertisers themselves to support their favorites (idol, actors, artists, athletes, VTubers, anime characters, etc.).

The timing of advertisements varies, but many fans place advertisements on their favorites' birthdays, debut anniversaries, and tour dates.

What is AI design?

What is AI design?A general term for initiatives that utilize AI to support, automate, and generate design processes.It is.

In traditional design, the mainstream was idea generation, layout composition, and manual drawing. However, with the introduction of AI, it is now possible to quickly generate high-quality images and layouts using only text (prompts).

The main AI design tools are: Please note that the prices listed are for plans for personal use.

What you can do with AI design

I think many people are wondering, "What exactly can AI design do?" Here, we will explain what AI design can do.

High-speed generation of images and illustrations from text prompts

You can create an image with the specified content just by entering text.

If there is anything you would like to change or correct in the generated image, you can do so by specifying that part. For example, you can give instructions such as ``Make the cake a chocolate cake'' or ``Increase the number of participants at the birthday party.''

Not only can you come up with ideas and create materials in seconds to minutes, but even people who are not good at drawing can create their own images.

Cost and time reduction

When you hire a professional designer to create an image, it often costs tens of thousands of yen to hundreds of thousands of yen.

Also, if you hire a professional, it will take a certain amount of time for delivery. If we have a high volume of requests, it may take up to a month for delivery.

If you want to create an image or illustration, but your budget is limited! or you suddenly need an image!, AI design can often handle the situation.

In addition, AI designs can be created for anything from 0 yen to several thousand yen, so the financial burden can be reduced.

Design evaluation and optimization

There are other ways to use AI design other than just relying on AI to create images and illustrations. You can also request suggestions for improvements to the illustrations and images you created, as well as objective evaluations.

For example, if you ask, ``This is an image for my favorite birthday, can you make it more glamorous?'', it will suggest adjustments.

There are limits to one person's ideas and creativity. That's why working together with AI will result in a more attractive finish.

Possibilities of AI design x fan art

AI design x fan art has many possibilities. Let's take a look at the possibilities of AI design x fan art.

Expand your ideas and create multiple prototypes

I think many people who have an oshi have various images in mind, such as ``I want to see my oshi like this'' or ``I wish there was a scene like this.'' With AI design, you can easily give shape to the image you imagine by simply issuing text instructions.

What's more, multiple variations can be generated in seconds to minutes, and detailed adjustments can be made, so the great thing about it is that you can carefully choose the design you like.

By using AI, your favorite handmade goods will become even more wonderful and original.

Activating interaction between fans

Sharing images and illustrations generated using AI on SNS and fan sites can expand the circle of fans.

Fans can share their feelings through the work, saying, ``This illustration is inspired by that song from the anniversary live. It was really great!'' or ``I love this scene of Oshi no too! Thank you for the illustration.'' Fans can express their feelings to each other.

For those who are worried about not being able to create connections between fans even though they post related to their favorites, AI design x fan art may be an opportunity for new interactions.

Points to note when using AI design

There are some important things to keep in mind when using AI design. If you break the rules without knowing it, it may lead to unexpected big trouble. Please be sure to check in advance.

How to use tags when posting on SNS

Some fan communities and official organizations use separate tags to distinguish between hand-drawn fan art and AI-generated fan art.

Some rules include tagging hand-drawn works with "#fan art" and tagging AI-generated works with "#AI illustration" and "#AI generation."

Also,When posting AI illustrations on SNS, many official organizations require the hashtag "#AI illustration".

Some companies and offices feature fan art on their official SNS or use it as thumbnails for videos. When companies and agencies take up fan art, they are required to distinguish it from AI illustrations.

Check each official derivative creation guidelines and fan art rules.

Guidelines regarding fan art are set depending on the agency and work of the fan.

Some places restrict the use of AI-generated illustrations, or allow them with conditions.

There are many cases where there is no problem if you only enjoy it personally without uploading it to SNS etc.When posting on SNS, please check the latest guidelines on the official website or X account before posting.

There are many cases where you find yourself in a situation where you think, "What!? It wasn't banned!" or "The rules suddenly changed!?", so be sure to always check the latest information!

Pay special attention to copyright and portrait rights when using commercially or posting advertisements.

Even if it is fan art generated by AI, if you include too many people's names or works' names directly in the prompt, there is a risk that it will depend on existing copyrighted works and be considered a copyright violation.

In Japan,If you use AI to generate and publish fan art based on the face of a real person (idol, actor, etc.), you should be careful as there is a risk of violating portrait rights.Portrait rights are the right to prevent one's appearance from being used without permission, and especially in the case of celebrities, publicity rights (commercial value) are also involved and there is a possibility of being sued.

Fan activities can unintentionally violate the law, so please follow the official guidelines to avoid trouble. If you are worried, please feel free to check and consult with your favorite office or lawyer.

Please keep the images and illustrations you generate for non-commercial and personal use only.

Also, be aware of similarities in fan art. If the essential characteristics of characters or people (appearance, costume, composition, etc.) are perceptibly similar, there is a risk of copyright infringement. Avoid prompts that focus on specific works or people, and try to be unique.

If your goal is to make money by selling goods, etc., we recommend not only checking the official guidelines but also checking directly with the agency or rights holder.

Also, recommended advertisements (Birthday/Support Advertisements), permission from the agency is required.

If you would like to know more about copyright, please check "About AI and Copyright" published by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.

AI Design FAQ

We have compiled frequently asked questions about AI design.

Does fan art violate copyright?

Depending on how you use fan art, it may be copyright infringement. The act of production itself is often permitted within the scope of private use. However, if the information is published on SNS etc., it may violate the law if both reliance and similarity are recognized. Reliance means coming into contact with copyrighted materials such as original characters and designs and incorporating them into one's own work. On the other hand, similarity means that the works are similar enough that the viewer can recognize the essential features of the original work. This may become a problem if the poses of the characters, costume designs, etc. are the same.

Is there a way to enjoy AI x fan art?

We recommend that you enjoy AI x Fan Art on your own. It is best to enjoy the generated favorite images in private, such as by viewing them or displaying them in your home. When posting on SNS, be sure to check the guidelines of your office or company and follow the rules.
