genuinely the biggest influence on my person and probably the primary reason I make art. definitely the way I self taught most of my early skills, including traditional frame by frame type animation. & my love of vocaloid ofc

I’m mostly an analog drawer, but sometimes playing around on Procreate helps me work out ideas quickly without wasting lots of paper. It’s also super fun to try to achieve the texture of real pencil and paper digitally by drawing on top of scans and messing with settings. I’m making Mk.gee fanart with Lord of the Rings fonts 🧘🏻♀️

First time doing a long hand drawn animation. It really gets you thinking about how things move. I’m walking around my room trying to analyze how my leg muscles are working, I love this shit. I also love being silly and talking to people on the internet. But I have 400 frames I need to do tonight so if you see me on here again, kindly tell me to get back to work

i had gotten really into digital illustration and spent basically all my time using a wacom drawing tablet as a teenager.
in all of these old self-portraits i always depict myself with a black jacket and some kind of red accessory.
what i love here is the lack of any attention to detail and the very distinct vibe this has that is present in a lot of amateur digital art from a decade ago.
i've grown quite a lot as an artist since this was drawn and it's fun to see how i viewed myself at a different point in time.

you can do whatever you want, but if you really want to hear my opinion on it... at best, ai-art is demoralizing to actual human beings and creates novelty slop that vaugely looks like an art piece, while not harboring any skill in using it. and theres nothing wrong with not wanting to make art fir the skill of it, though. but at worst, it's an environmental and economic disaster, a predatory business model to consumers and customers of AI, and a great way for businessmen to try and take creativity away from us to turn us into cogs in the machine. it's built off of the stolen work of artists who already struggled to make a living, now forced out by a tool that's turned on them with their own work. it can help make propaganda that is virtually unidentifiable, turn victims into deepfakes, and generally evil we have yet to see. and that's just the image side of things, but the cons of all types of ai models overlap.
I've had to watch people throw away their lifelong dreams because of this garbage. it's no coincidence elonely muskrat and every ceo you can think of are obsessed with it - it's a perverse business tool.
I wouldn't mind coexisting with it if it wasn't out to get me. but it is.
I also feel like it's the reason nobody makes fun photobashes or random photoshops anymore. it will never fully phase out human art but I think it's starting to take over the photography world, especially commercially. I'm sick of looking up real places and animals and sorting through fake slop im being told is real.
