I am having a rainy arts and crafts day after a busy yesterday of working in fancy restaurant on mother’s day. I am building models and painting display stuff for ones ive already built. It is fun and relaxing. I do some painting and then do some building while the paint dries and im watching movies at the same time. Its a good day. At the end of the day, putting in prompts for an AI all day instead would probably kill my soul. Making art is fun. This tskes away the fun part. I made a post earlier in the thread that as a toddler I just filled a page with drawings and then threw it out and started the next. My parents had to tell me that I should be saving the good ones which implies I should be trying to make a good one each time, at 34 I can say they were wrong as hell. The finished product is a brief moment of moderate satisfaction cause you will always see the flaws no one else will. The best part is making the damn thing. I am altering the real world to match or express my imagination as best as I can. AI can never ever do that. I like digital art and like playing with it, but even that feels a bit removed from real tangible stuff for me. Photoshop is fun, editing film and music digitally is just way easier, but I have done the analogue version of both and theyre a lot more fun. It stinks.
