Been a while since I wrote one of these huh?
So, yeah. Hello again!
I've been studying programming with Python now during 2025, and now my studies have concluded.
Although, I am leaning into continuing with other studies now during the autumn of 2025.
But from learning how to code with Python to operating CNC-machinery. Industry. True industry.
I still want to have a real, tangible job and a stable income.
Slowly since late 2024 I've seen a jump in viewership and I don't know what to say.
Thanks? Thanks I guess. From the darkest place of my heart- thank you so much ❤️
Once again, I never expected any viewership as I only joined DA and FA just to look at art.
I mean, I've always drawn on the side since it's my passion to draw but I never expected to get any kind of following myself.
"The Project"
What was it? Well, you have seen me drawing that green goblin Vivian and now recently the red demon Ruby along with sketches of some robot nicknamed "Delta".
The plan for these characters, actual "original characters" (man, I hate that term), was for a new creative endeavour for a fresh new start.
The idea was born during my 2023 IT-studies when I was heavily inspired by watching vtuber content on the web'.
I was like "Maybe I can bring something to that space!"... But more and more during my studies and realizing that I lack the personality to speak out loud live- I put the idea on ice.
But ever since, I kept scribbling these characters- and asked someone;
"Should I show these characters? I mean, this thing will never take off- but maybe someone would like to see these..."
"Yes." Was pretty much the response.
So I did, and I've noticed people are actually enjoying these crappy artworks.
Well, I always say they're crappy- but I keep at it since I love drawing.
It's the experience of you using your own mechanical skill to use your arms and hands to put something down on paper or monitor.
Create something, from nothing.
Try it. If I could get any kind of following, you too can.
Don't tell me you can't draw because your are left handed- I've seen great artists being left handed creating amazing things.
Don't tell me you can't draw because "You are not skilled enough"- most artists are probably feeling that too.
We all want to be our better selves.
Which then leads me to something. Especially after having coded with Python.
AI bros have told artists to "just learn to code!"- so I did. I know a bit now, not too much- but I can probably create something with these new skills.
Even I can point out issues with Pirate Software's code with Heartbound, even if it is a different coding language!
Most of my classmates wanted to become "AI researchers", so I've been bombarded with AI talk everyday in school
This leads me to another thing... Which may be controversial but hear me out;
AI has helped me be more creative than ever before!
"HOW?!" you may ask.
It's psychological, not using AI- but the prospect of it's existence at all.
Before the advent of AI, I often looked at others art and thought;
"Nope, I will never be good as this artist- it's so over. Just quit already."
Some time into the AI apocalypse something happened to me when I sat down drawing my scribbles;
I stopped comparing myself to others.
I didn't think about it at the time as I started to draw more and more but then it struck me, kinda like what Syndrome is saying in The Incredibles;
(copied from IMDB quotes)
And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super...
[laughs maniacally]
Syndrome: ... no one will be.
Where am I going with this? Well, you see. My skills don't matter anymore. Why should I compare myself to others?
Why should I look at others art and think I am awful at art? I should just do my own thing!
I mean, with the advent of AI- anyone can suddenly be an artist online!
If an AI bro can suddenly become popular by doing nothing, I can become something by actually doing something!
So if you are sitting there with an idea, just get to it and start drawing!
Like I saw someone mention on Twittah;
"You are somebody's favorite artist. Don't forget that!"
