For all these years since AI image gen blew up at the end of 2022, I’ve been trying to avoid drawing or posting the kinds of stuff that are overly saturated by AI (like single-character shots with simple or not so complex or accurate background in terms of perspective .)

I’ve been trying force myself to come up with ideas involving more complex, story-driven scenes for posting , the kind of stuff AI struggled with for a long time. But sometimes it came at the cost of some serious burnout, especially now that AI has gotten better and better at mimicking human art recently. At this point, I’m really starting to wonder why I even bother. I guess I kind of lost my motivation and forgot why I started drawing in the first place. It used to be about the fun of creating something, and the sense of accomplishment you get after putting in the hard work and finishing a piece, no matter what it is, simple or complex. Maybe that’s what really matters after all.

I think I’ll try to draw and post more simple or relaxed stuff after this, Speedpaints, WIPs or even stuff like practice and study. But I still have a lot of relatively complex ideas in my head, I just don’t have the motivation or creative energy to tackle them right now. Hopefully I can pick them up again once I recover a bit.

I know I said I’d try to post more often this year. And I’m very sorry for being so inactive for all these month. I can’t guarantee I’ll just become more productive immediately after this post. But I’ll try my best.
