• I like character design, video games and animation 
humansI’ve completely lost my ability to do social media this year. I’m still drawing, though rarely, and I still want to share what I draw. I just hate the social media process and I’ve avoided it for so long that it’s started to feel like an insurmountable chore. The prevalence of generative AI hasn’t exactly helped me to feel any desire to be on social media, either. I’ve long abandoned any thought of pursuing art as a career — this was separate from the AI issue, I simply realized it wasn’t for me — and now just create for myself. Still, it’s hard to feel inspired by others’ art when I’m constantly questioning if I’m actually looking at something real. I feel inspired by humans, by their most authentic expressions. When so much of art spaces are being inundated with thieves and imposters, I find myself avoiding those spaces. When I avoid those spaces, I stop seeing the real art too, and it leaves a great abyss behind where that sense of community, encouragement, and collective inspiration used to be.
Nothing is sacred, nowhere is safe, nothing is certain. I commend anyone and everyone out there who still creates, truly creates, in spite of all that. I hope I can be like you.Dec 15, 2025

It's so sweet to see you and your beautiful art around here again despite everything, and I really relate to how you feel. I miss the old internet from just a few years ago, back when I didn't have to question every piece of art I found. GenAI is such a disgusting plague. It makes me feel so sad and frustrated sometimes
But fortunately I'm seeing more and more people fight it back recently, and I want to believe that, even though we might not be able to erase AI "art" completely at this point, the general public will gradually open their eyes and avoid this distasteful gimcrack
I hope that, in the meantime, you keep drawing as much as you like and find some safe art spaces to get inspired too. Artfol, Tumblr and Bluesky have been the best ones for me in that sense!
I wish you the best, whether you ever feel like pursuing art as a career again or you keep making it just out of passion. Both options are equally great
The AI dudes are not as mighty as they seem, just a bunch of jealous and useless idiots. But you and your wonderful art skills sure are powerful! Keep up the great work
(And by the way, super sweet art right there! It's so on point and it looks very cute. I love how happy and relaxed everyone seems, all doing their own thing! It's full of humanity, I love it so much... We really need to embrace and appreciate little moments such as these, and especially in the era we're currently living in)

•I totally relate to this struggle and realisation! I think the best we can do for human kind is to but our fun and passion first and keep it, if that means just sharing in a small circle or not at all that’s absolutely valid!
