Some thoughts about my art.
Lately, I have done several portraits (including fan art) and I had a lot of joy with that. However, I sometimes feeling like a dying species - I still work with traditional materials, like pencils, colored pencils, water color, acrylic color, fine liners. On paper.

I have never learned digital drawing and painting with a respective tablet or similar devices. The only thing I can do are preparatory drawings which I scan and then colorize with a graphical software.

Given the masses of AI slop, I'm very glad a few people still like to see traditional art, or digital art - art by humans, made for humans.

NFTs managed to fizzle out and dissolve without damaging the internet. I'd hope the same for GenAI, but I think it's going to swell up and explode, leaving a shitty smear everywhere.
Sadly, both of them have had a terrible impact on those of us who create any kind of art.

I don't approve of the use of AI to create art, but at this point I've grown out of the pointless obsession of blocking all AI users that I come across. If I were to keep that up, I'd lose out on a lot of good, original content that gets thrown out alongside the robo-art.

Although if someone posts nothing *but* AI content, that's something I won't mind losing out on.

Immensely enjoying all the amazing truly creative art that was created by humans and not AI.

I can’t believe this needs to be said but please encourage art created by humans.
