A Detailed Art Examples

This section illustrates how images look like at every stage of our work. We include (1) original artwork from a contemporary artist (@nulevoy)[5] as a reference in Figure 6, (2) the original artwork after applying each of the available protections in Figure 7, (3) one image after applying the cross product of all protections and preprocessing methods in Figure 8, (4) baseline generations from a model trained on unprotected art in Figure 9, and (5) robust mimicry generations for each scenario in Figure 10.

[5] The artist gave explicit permission for the use of their art
