About the Artist

Deonte Roland

Deonte is an illustrator exploring the new frontier of AI art and how it can be used as a tool by artists. He writes out detailed descriptions of the character he is imagining in his mind and uses AI art websites to generate them. These images then become the reference pictures he uses for his hand-drawn illustrations. He uses various mediums in his illustration work including charcoal, pencil, and acrylic paint markers. Deonte takes inspiration from music, daydreams, and the online art communities.
