And here I am just fumbling over my work. Well, time to make some new product, isn't it?

Remarkable the amount of spam and one-click generated art around these parts. Nevertheless, I shall try to persist in my own way, maybe even toss support behind some of the real people where I can. After all, for me this is just a hobby, but still a craft I take with some degree of pride.
Flotsam
Boy the UI sure has changed a lot. I misclicked from those whom I follow to the DA Homepage and was greeted with a homogeneous deluge. The same pre-defined, measured quantities applied to faces and rendering held up to a uniform standard. No, they're not all the same picture, and yet, somehow, they all look the same, a mean average of aesthetics. Frankly I'd preferred the OC scribbles of yesteryear, at least that came from a place of sincerity. Style means nothing anymore. I'm not even that good, but I've never put down the pencil. I won't make any melodramatic declaration about fighting back against AI or whatever, people want their products *now* and this is what they chose; surface without foundation, skin without bones, aesthetic without meaning. I'll just do the best I can.

Well, that was fun. Long hours and I'm kind of sick, but a decent AA experience all the same. The new venue seems to have had problems with the attendees, I certainly hope they make things right with the consumers.
I did well enough this convention season, but it's apparent I need to step it up and do better still.
