We are not complaining because we are afraid of it, we are complaining because it looks like dogshit and it's everywhere!
This is as polite as I can be about AI 😭

Another quote from Coca-Cola's Head of Generative-AI:
“The haters on the Internet are the loudest. A lot of the people complaining last year were from the creative industry who were just afraid"

Miniature books are a thing that many crafter enjoy to make. But what about a miniature roman writing tablet?

Where the "crafter" in my bio comes from: I like bookbinding and also miniatures. So I like to join the two things and make these mini-books!

In case anyone wonders, I'm the one behind the "Maratoon" project, under the Juzo-kun handle -- redrawing every. single. sprite. of the game in a decidedly cartoonish and stylized manner. Doing the player character (which are 203 sprites repeated in eight colours...)

Lately I feel like I'm not motivated enough to finish things. Fact is, all this AI stuff did demotivate me a lot. But! I like to sketch and I won't stop, at least. Here is a steampunk character from ma while ago.

being able to draw isn’t a gift or talent— it’s a skill. skills can be learned by anyone, at anytime, as long as you have motivation, patience, and don’t give up after failure attempts.
your favorite artist probably has a mountain of sketchbooks full of failed drawings, too.

I know I have the "only six faces" syndrome, sometimes I try to branch out. [also, I can write. Really. Ooops.]

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:
Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.
It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.

Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.
And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.
Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.

It was, indeed!
Well that was quite cathartic.
Midjourney just put out a survey. Sure would be a shame if artists told them what they really felt.

"Tis beyond belief to think I should see that odious orange dog sit the throne once more." growled Conan as he picked up the whetstone.
"Crom grant those who stood against him find the strength to survive." He began sharpening his broadsword. "And may those who bent the knee be rewarded justly."

Everything minus two - I didn't the AOL and Myspace thing just for geography
BUT
I can still whistle the tone string of the number used to connect via dial up
Bonus for Italians (and EU, I guess): I didn't have to dial the prefix when calling a telephone number of my own city

Don't be deceived by the pose and the relaxed look. That tummy floof is not easily available for face-diving, unless you are a) my husband or b) really eager to risk having a claw in the aforementioned face.
