    I'm not creating much digital artwork anymore because I feel like I can't compete with AI, which is now in everyone's hands.
    Maybe I'm afraid that what I create won't be appreciated as much anymore.

    Do you ever feel that kind of block?

    It’s pushing me more toward traditional, handmade arts. But at the same time, it feels like it would be a waste after all these years of effort spent learning and practicing.

    • I felt that way about music... I like being in my little subgenre, but I realize now, that music is for them. I really gotta make it for me...canoe
    • So if you still have something to say with digital artwork, then say it, otherwise do what feels like the most honest version of yourself..canoe
    • you are still better than 'everyone using AI' because of visual training and experience. use AI to get to step 7 fast and use skills to get to 11 in less time.uan

    • I decided to make a career change. Just want to finish my website and then make an online shop and sell painted stuff.oey_oey
    • No more websites. Just graphic design if it comes my way but probably not actively promoting.oey_oey
    • And no more illustrations. I'm gonna do something AI doesn't do yet. Or something else. Really don't feel motivated anymore.oey_oey
    • It's tough! And I've been trying to make a store for years, I really gotta get around to it this year.canoe

    • 20+ years ago I concluded I couldn't PSD against Cinema4D et al. So I tried going hand drawn but I didn't get anywhere with it...Horp
    • And eventually I decided to stop entirely and pursue a new vocation. No regrets. The value of images plummeted. My 1st commission earned £20k. My last £150.Horp
    • Horp, you truly left a lasting impression. I still remember your 3D type designs seamlessly integrated into scenic pieces – you were ahead of your time.uan
    • There was no such thing as a social media influencer career path back then. otherwise, it might have worked out financially.uan
