PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!
3 years ago
Some popular artists have been so arrogant and ignorant to acknowledge no-so-good artists for all the hard work they have done. So they use AI as a revenge to back at the great artists for treating them like numbers. Good for them. That’s what they get for ignoring the drawings they made in public.
Maybe AI wouldn’t be a bad thing for me. If this gonna propel me even further, then this is what I would do by any means necessary and at all cost.

I think most people use AI because it's typically used as a short cut, but there's more to an image than it just looking pretty: The artist that draws it expresses themselves through it, their soul, heart, all the warm fuzzy things(and not so fuzzy things) exist through the stroke of the medium used.
AI generated art can make some nice looking things, but it will always be souless in that regard. Being an artist DOES take paitence and even some good artists around here aren't gonna get a lot of focus or attention, but every artist may find their audience soon enough. Other people however have used it to generate an aforementioned thumbnail or as a reference image when one cannot be drawn as a visual one can help a lot of artists, and so long as its not uploaded someplace but shared between the artist and commissioner I think that's fine on its own.
As for you wanting to use an AI for art, I'd honestly suggest you avoid this, because of 2 main reasons:
1- AI generated art isn't allowed on here last I checked, and plus the person using it could be ousted as an art thief because of how AI art is made. Its like stealing the crops of other farmers, planting in their own field and saying "I grew these" when infact that is false. If someone is using AI art to lash out from not getting attention they will be ousted further from the community and become more isolated I would NOT suggest doing this.
2- You're art's good enough already. You just gotta keep working at it. From the works I've seen in the past you've improved a lot. I'd suggest you keep at it and not forsake it for a souless image.
If you're not getting enough attention for your works there's a possibility that FA isn't as big as it used to be, if you really are eager to bring focus to your work you could try other places as well to add into your work uploading in more than one place.
Only other advice I can suggest to you is once and awhile open up for requests but insure that it's on YOUR terms as what you will be willing to do. Some people like jumping at the chance to do free art. You do it enough times and you'll grow that way as well. (You don't HAVE to take this advice sense sometimes doing them can be rough especially with how hectic life itself can get.)
TLDR: AI art for revenge over not getting any attention is bad, this will backfire viciously because that person will be considered an art thief and shunned this is the consequence of it, and in my opinion it's souless and can't ever recreate the emotion/feelings/ideas the artist can convey.
You don't need AI art, your art's already in a good spot in my opinion. I'd suggest expanding other places where you upload or take requests once and awhile because people love to jump at the chance for a free image (though this isn't something you have to follow it is merely a suggestion.)
I watch you, and it's impossible to ignore a journal with a title in 'BIG BOLD LETTERS LIKE THIS' Please do not go down the path of using AI especially if it's out of something like revenge.
but that is besides the point: please consider what I have stated.
It's really not hard to beleive that you can always get better, just go look way back at your old drawings and look at what you draw now. What is inevitible about any skill is that the more people do it, the better they get. I've even seen it happen first hand back when I went to college. You just gotta keep on truckin, the hard part is motivation but that is a topic of its own.
