(he/him) Born in the 80s and I'll die in the 80s. I enjoy D&D, Tabletop games, Transformers (No M. Bay stuff), video games, and comics. I follow a lot of artists and always support the arts! No A.I. or crypto stuff!

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

Last of the witches from the archives for Day 16 of #ArtAdventCalendar with the mushroom witch, soft and mossy, listening kindly to some tiny friends. I think she's such a nice contrast with Stump Witch.
