My Art Journey WITHOUT AI

Let this be proof to anyone who thinks they need AI to do what practice can do for them instead. I didn't need AI to get better. I practiced and figure out what works and what doesn't.

DO NOT USE AI TRAINING ON MY ART OR I WILL FIND A WAY TO SUE YOU TO OBLIVION

To the mods, this isn't really my posting art so much as it's my addition to the debate of needing ai to create. I'm just using my art as personal examples.

Debt and Communities

So I am at a point in life where I need to make a plan for the future. College didn't work out (AI took over the field) and I'm stuck with 50k in student loan debt that I really do not intend to pay back (something something payment for services rendered something something I demand a refund). I came across the idea of living in a community and my heart really seems to be leaning towards a place like East Wind or Twin Oaks. Do those places reject people with debt like that? Is it a big problem for them? I have time before I make that leap to community living due to taking care of dying family members but once that's over my life opens completely up and I need a plan. Thank you for your time and answers!

Why don't more Homestuck fans know about this and why I want to fix that.

https://preview.redd.it/2wlulgc8lzhh1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=7da2444da9deb238c6ca5380e4ffcba04b646307

So this is both a 3 album (Screamo deathcore metal) music and for now, one small novel, but the story seems like something only someone well versed in the paradoxical shenanigans of Homestuck could comprehend taking place in 3 different realities that are all interconnected.

Quick summary would be "A mother and father decide that they don't want their child living in a world without art so the father designs a contraption to make it so they can go back in time and kill the guy responsible for making the world that way but things happen and they get separated." I won't spoil more than that though.

I'm having trouble finding an online source to get the book thus far but I got my copy at an Alesana concert, so if you can vibe with the music, which is lyrically a masterpiece, and you'd be supporting an underground indie metal band and that could help get the books in the hands of people who might not like that kind of music.

I don't know, I just think that Homestuck fans would especially like this story and maybe I just need more people to discuss it with so I can wrap my head around it. Mods, no hard feelings if you gotta delete this post. I get it :)

EDIT: Okay so the title isn't confessions, I just checked my copy. It's Annabel. Found a link for purchase!

Back at it again with more art! (CTA: ME)

Decided that now I'm uploading again (because my art took a turn for the better!) I would throw my take out on this design challenge that a lot of people seemed to have done. I kept it flat and simple just to get the designs out to you guys. Keep reading for my design explanations!

Bluestar: For Bluestar, I wanted to have her heavily look like her father Stormtail while her sister would gain the soft fluffiness of Moonflower. I gave her fur a more ragged look, showing off her disheveled self in her later life.

Cinderpelt: Okay she might have my favorite design here. I took her and said "This is the daughter of Lionheart and Frostfur. That's gonna be one beautiful floof!" So I leaned heavily on the fact that Frostfur is an all white cat and I gave her a mane-like chest fluff

Crowfeather: I wanted to make him blacker honestly. It just didn't look right to me so I settled with this. That being said, I took inspiration from corvids and put a little purple in his eyes like you see a little purple in the wings. I also tried to make his fur more feathery for obvious reasons. Also while I was designing him I kept thinking "This guy has got to be the handsome squidward of warrior cats"

Ashfur: Like Bluestar, I wanted to give him a rougher look. Like he isn't taking care of himself because of his lack of a love life. Yes this implies the other two style their fur. Maybe they do!

I hope you enjoy my designs! Would you like to see more? Drop some character suggestions in the comments!

Does it always involve fainting?

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with me and signs point to VVS a bit except I have yet to faint (that I know of). I just had an episode today that started in the mcdonalds drive thru. Started feeling nauseous and started sneezing. Couldn't eat or drink. Puked like ten minutes later after pulling over quickly. What points to VVS is the nausea and sneezing thing because they are both connected to that nerve. I don't know. What are your thoughts?

None of my cameras work on my laptop

I am completely stumped on this problem. Both integrated and USB webcams are having this issue. It'll turn on and the picture looks fine except for what looks like a glitchy overlay (not sure how else to describe it.) that keeps flickering on the camera view. I've tried reinstalling drivers on all webcams. I've tried factory resetting. I've tried turning all related USB to not turn off to save power. I'm really not sure what is causing this. If it helps, I'm running Windows 11. 32gb RAM. MSI Raider GE77 HX.
