the fun thing is you can stop using it entirely right now. There is nobody in the world who NEEDS genAI for anything.

Whatever the fuck you think you 'need' it for you don't. You literally don't.

Firstly, I enjoyed playing Veilguard. I liked the companions a lot, I love the gameplay. I like the beats that were hit, even if I would've liked them paced differently or if they had gone other routes.

I would like to replay the game in full eventually.

I think my art looks fine! Great, even, sometimes. I've met my goals of one finished piece a month for years now, and I'm proud of that.
I love my art. I'm going to keep making it. I love making it. But I don't talk about the hard parts very often publicly, and I just wanted to blab it out today.

I love anime art styles, but when mine gets compared to it, I get self conscious for some reason. Only my mom ever has but I always correct it. Maybe because the goal isn't to look like that. Maybe because I sometimes wish it did look like that.

I'm heavy-handed with thick line art and intense saturation. My anatomy isn't nearly as strong as I want it to be. I use semi-realistic rendering that somehow still ends up looking flat. I'm constantly trying new techniques and methods and getting similar or unintended results.
