yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.
the youtube "stop drawing like this" community doesn't want you to know this but you can shade however you want forever btw. it doesn't have to make sense in fact you should actively be pissing people off with how inaccurate your light source is
HUGE shout out to purple for being the only color that has like no losers. Deep purple royal purple bluish purple redish purple pastel purple dusty purple lavender periwinkle violet like. Banger after banger after banger!!
I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.
Today is January 6th 2024. I forgot to do my shades on for 2023. What a fuckin year dawgs. Im 30 now, I’m 2 years in therapy, I got my bachelors degree, I brought my second rental property, I finally got a chance to go back home. My grandmother is experiencing dementia, and other one turned 100. I also just found out I have a son, he just turn 5 months. He is a happy baby and extremely innocent. It hurts tho. He doesn’t have my last name and we didn’t know he existed. The mother is a bad person and extremely selfish. I don’t see how I can forgive her but Its kinda cool being someone dad. Anyway my goals for 2024 is to lose weight, finish my masters, come to some deep understanding about myself. I decided to keep it at 3. I’m a bit of a high achiever and often forget my accomplishments throughout the year. This will force me into a place of stillness. This year I actually wanna try hard. I actually want to dig deep with my soul and put something out in the world worth showing, maybe I will actually put out that movie I always wanted to put out. I owe that to myself. I gave so much of my life to the Navy. It’s time that I give to myself. it’s time that I put things out into the world and be serviced to my own goals and not to a ship or family. Anyway, we’ll find out on the next shades on 2024.
