Be weird

I love the design work you put into the armor and how it connects.

Also, boss helmet design man

Your design sense progresses with active training and study, doesn't progress much from typing AI prompts.

It's like saying you got a good workout by prompting an mmorpg character to run around for you. You sure were busy, but you didn't really do anything yourself

The milestones don't all happen at once. They happen with slow iterative growth, clicking at the honestly the weirdest moments.

The best way to reach those milestones: put in consistent care, daily and weekly, as little or as much as you can.

I've done 115 Creepy Pokemon so far. A mountain of work and love, built rock by rock, with brush strokes dipped in my deepest wells of anger.

Just raw, and me. And anyone who knows me, seeing my paintings, goes "Yeah of course Dave painted that."

It's a sad state of things. They want an easy cheap solution, not the good solution. Just slopped up output to fill whatever blank page scares them at the moment.

Also... how hard is it to make a powerpoint presentation without AI?

How upsettingly mismanaged do you have to be where you need ai to do your slides.

How were you doing that same job like two years ago?

Exactly. Using AI to make armor designs might look pretty, but there's no substance underneath. No intentionality under the sheen, no human drive in the work to care about the nuts and bolts.

Absolutely badass, love it!

<3 Feels good to get these out at a steady pace now. Big thanks again to everyone enjoying the work and sharing it. I've got a bunch of commission work coming in! Looking forward to sharing that when I get to.

Hope you'll dig what I have coming for Seadra!

Stay rad

I also tried playing Resident Evil 2 (Leon A) by myself at my cousin's at 12 or 13? Made it two steps in, couldn't figure out how to aim, and died from zombies. I turned the playstation and tv off and I guess I was a little shocked by it.

Now it's my favorite comfy game of all time.
