It's so important that the artistic process asks us to push our comfort zones and acknowledge not only the successes but all the failures it took to get there, too. Artists have built a community upon these shared experiences, and AI prompters will never be able to replicate this.

Gosh... Such pretty eyes!

It can be such a headache to do. I only really know how to do basic game rigs augh

I'm definitely someone who feels anxious about reposting my artwork. It doesn't help that I tend to post my art at awkward hours, too.

Ough, incredibly good croc lady

We're just flooded with so much misinformation these days. Connecting with other artists, sharing cool tips, or just following someone's work and seeing them improve felt so personal and honest. Now I constantly have to have my guard up and double check for genAI. It's exhausting...

Art is so much more than the end product and it's just insidious how GenAI is eroding creative communities like this.

If a friend was using AI I'm not sure how I'd address the problem with them. It's difficult when they don't see a problem with it's use despite all the harm it does to artists.

I totally caved and ordered this inexcusably busty reshiram figure... It's so over the intrusive thoughts won

Oohhh the little gremlin!!!

Ohh he is so pretty!! And I love the sharp angles you use with your linework, it's very pleasing to see. 💙

Really cute and good :)

The texture and lithograph print elements really add a lot of style to this! Looks great!

Cam nooooo

(It's not your fault, it's genuinely getting harder to tell...)

She had a long night doing fancy dragon noble stuff no doubt...

Thanks! I always draw her looking so smug/flirty, so it's fun to draw some less attractive expressions for a change.
