no worries ✌️ dm me about it whenever you're ready, there's no rush~

sure, always up for a trade~ I'm not working anymore so have more free time. got stuff round the house to do though, but still plenty of time to work on drawing

thanks, qino 😁 always love drawing my baby, just been a while since the last time. definitely need to draw him more often
(also still love the pics you drew of yuudai too ❤️)

new school friend, her name is dani. she acts like a tough, bubblegum-chewing punk but she's just mirroring someone who made a huge impression on her long ago. adopted from jolsma on toyhouse and deviantart

two more best friends who are school-age, though they attend different schools. layla (she/her) and estelle (she/her) were both adopted by yessiemaltese on bluesky

-viewpoint to consider. if you still believe AI image generation is considered "art", then I'll just conclude by saying we should agree to disagree. too old and tired to fight and argue it lol. and it's almost 4:30am, I need to go to bed 😂

-"art" and I'm not an artist. because I'm not one; I'm a marketer and a writer.

that aside, people will argue and argue over what is considered "art" and what isn't, and will never come to an agreement because it's human nature. would rather not argue here either, just bring up a different-

-and sell them; that's illegal. rather hard to say something is "art" when it's stolen from others and then some try to turn a profit on it, eh?

but yes, although there is an actual definition of "art", what is truly considered "art" is up to the individual. it's why I say my drawings aren't-

if you look at it from another angle, as you'd mentioned in a previous post, AI programs "scrape" websites and take artwork that people have worked on, then assemble it into an image based on the AI user's keywords. that's art theft, plain and simple. there are also people who generate AI images-

I appreciate it, really. had an online friend tell me they had POTS and I didn't know what it was, so looked it up. they were really happy that I did, too. but it's best to learn about things affecting friends and not speak or act in ignorance 😌

no worries; it's 4pm here so way too early for bed lol. I'm never in a hurry for replies either. if I find anything, I'll dm it to you, if that's okay.

I will say it's a good idea to keep an open mindset and question everything; don't do what's "cool" and follow the figurative crowd.

I've tried digital drawing - still have my tablet - but it's too hard and I don't have much control with the drawing since I can't look down at it. kinda hard to explain. I taught myself to draw traditionally, long before digital drawing was a thing, and greatly prefer it.

it's osetoarthritis so not as bad as rheumatoid. usually ok most of the time but if I do something like draw a lot, it makes my hand or wrist hurt. sometimes my fingers go numb. but I've a special glove I wear that gives some compression and warmth, which helps a lot. but can still have pain with it
