Going through absolute work hell but I got an update on a oryouma commission and very much having a moment of “do it for them”

AI has ruined any variation of phrase “that’s not X. That’s Y” so much for me that whenever I see it, I become suspicious it’s AI or AI assisted even if everything else sounded human

Most of us understand that drawing isn't a matter of inherent talent, but aquired skill. I also think a lot about how your success in learning to draw might have to do with how well you handle frustration, and how comfortable you are with making mistakes. The barrier i usually see--

adult beginner artists struggle to overcome, is the frustration barrier. The self-shame of doing something "incorrectly" or "unsuccessfully" just so completely takes them out. We are so adverse to feeling that sort of discomfort, that giving up (or not trying at all) is the "better" option.

Thinking about the “page options” and it’d be neat if you could nest page in pages. Could write a “choose your own adventure story” with that.

An impromptu thread (thank you @bantiarna.bsky.social!) of my reading recommendations for those of you who are Shinsengumi fans in particular or curious about the Bakumatsu (late Edo) period in general.
Conrad Totman's "The Collapse of the Tokugawa Bakufu" is one of the major texts that's always referenced. Jansen's book which you read is another. There's also Harry Harootunian's "Toward Restoration," Yates' "Saigo Takamori" and Mark Ravina's Saigo book "The Last Samurai"

This is something about "AI" that I have a hard time putting into words, but creators just love the WORK. It's just fun. Even when it's hard. All the thinking, and all the detail work, and all the struggle, it makes the things we make, I don't know... have weight and value for us.
If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Not sure if anyone will have any questions but feel free to ask away.
Started drawing as an adult, been drawing for 5 years, have been self-taught for the most part.
