I really don't have much input to give you. I just really find your work inspiring. Especially your studies right now. I love the "Stay a While and Listen" piece. Deckard Cain spinning vinyl just seems to work.
Try not to let the AI stuff get you down. It's actually the AI stuff that got me drawing again. I was playing with midjourney for a while, made an instagram account and started to get a lot of likes etc...it does come up with some really cool looking stuff. However, I feel like it just wasn't satisfying enough within myself. There was no sense of achievement, no challenge, no determination or passion. I was just doing it just for 'likes'.
It was when Kim Jung Gi sadly passed and the AI community immediately started training AI on his style. Within hours of the news breaking. That really pissed me off for a number of reasons. It also gave me that nudge of "Hey, you're not achieving anything, so you're taking the easy route". That's the moment I deleted all my A.I accounts and picked up my pencils again.
You're working hard and you're good now. You've dedicated time, patience and persistence. You have developed a skill that many wish they could have. No one can take that away from you. Not even an AI.
Keep going! You're stuff is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
