That's awful, I'm sorry to hear it. Sea of Thieves was such a cool place to chill out with friends (or not, it could get pretty crazy sometimes!)

Obviously I'm not saying that stylised work can't be successful! I just think it's tougher to find that success. Nowadays she paints for herself and she's happier about that in a lot of ways. Oh I meant to say as well, I think AI slop shows what a lot of folk are accepting of, possibly even 'want' 😬

she specialised in illustration, I in graphic design, and we often noticed that the folk who could do hyperreal work turned more heads. Despite years of trying to find (paying) clients my wife had to abandon her hopes of making a career out of her skills because nobody wanted her particular style!

I feel like distinctive styles end up getting siloed which I think is why so many AAA titles have such a familiar realistic quality. Disney has been chasing those ghastly CG versions of their old works for years now. My wife and I both went through art and design courses up to BA level...

Ooo, this looks very interesting!

Oh wow, I totally forgot about that application and its updating!
