The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

Be extra kind to yourselves.
A lot of artists, including myself, are struggling.
It's not because we are failing; the system is failing us. A system that doesn't care about us. So we rely on those around us for support and kindness.
Keep your head up. We are doing our best ♡

To All Artists:
Repost that art. Milk that piece more, it took a lot to draw. Post close up shots, color edits, speedpaintings, the background lore. Be annoying about it.
It took too much effort!

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI.
we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"
We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive

re: generative AI
I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

You’re all so skilled, and you all deserve a better, kinder world than this one.

There is someone out there who wants your weird little book. Even if you doubt yourself sometimes, don't doubt their earnest enthusiasm.

I said this to my friend last night and I think it's a good thing to think about:
If no one else, make art for your younger self. Make art of your ocs that your younger self would have dreamed to be able to draw. Make art that would make them keyboard smash an excited reply to. Make art for you.
