ive Been debating on quittint drawing for a while now.

i love it and I love you all and the community so much but truth be told drawing has always been a major struggle in my life. It's very hard on me mentally and causes me to have panic attacks because it's so hard.

I love this enough to deal with it though because I want to make a career of this more than anything. I never wanted to be a big name artist or be this noticeable style everyone loves. I just wanted to draw cute simple pictures with the people I love.


Unfortunatly I don't think I can do that anymore. AI drawing has already overtaken me in terms of skill and it's just going to keep improving from here. I won't be able to keep up. In a years time it will completely outclass me.


i can never be a great artist and it's not worth the pain to struggle my way into doing something I love. The money just isn't there. I've been working 50+ hours a week drawing for $300 a month. I've been having to do that on top of my full time jobs to stay alive because I thought I could make something of myself but I see it's just going to get harder from here if not impossible. I really don't want to stop but the money just isn't there. I think AI art is going to be pushing us small time artists out more and more.


I don't do this for the money and I love you all and I never want to say you arnt enough because you all gave my life meaning.

But if I cant make this a future career I feel like I need to alocate my time another way.

I know you all will be with me as long as you can but I dont think anyone else will join with how things are.


I really dont know where to go or what to do from here. This is all ive ever wanted.


But if I stay or go, thank you. Thank you so much for always being here for me. Thank you for letting me know I can draw after all these years of thinking I cant. Thank you for helping me struggle and realize more of who I am. But thank you most of all for being my friends and being in my life. Thank you so much.

I think you should take a break, life have been hard on you, please take care and have some rest. I totally understand if you choose to go one day, but I hope that won't be the case. I like your art style. Don't compare yourself with other artist or A.I. art. Personally, I think the style A.I. uses is very similar and very noticeable. Only powerful computer can do it. Don't feel pressure by to do something as well, take your time to come to an decision, and know that whatever happens, we will support you.

I wouldn't feel too threatened by AI art if I were you. The kind of nsfw art you make is probably going to be the most taboo among art AI programs and eventually there's going to be some copyright case that cripples AI art because its steals images from the internet. But I can definitely see why that time investment is prohibitive. It will sad to see you go but you shouldn't feel obligated to internet fans. Please try to do what makes you happy

Oh, come on. AI didn't, and won't overtake you any time soon, it can do somewhat competent pinups at best for now. It needs at least a few years of improvements to be able to understand the prompts and stuff like that, and you could easily use that time to improve yourself, so you'll be even better if the time ever comes. Regarding panic attacks and difficulties drawing, I'm not you so I can't really know, but I feel it wasn't always like that. I remember you absoultely blitzing through the requests a few months ago with great results, so it can and I believe it will get better eventually, as it always did. So. Think it it over once again after some well deserved break, maybe once you're feeling better. And remember, that even if you decide to quit, you still have two months worth of FANBOX stuff waiting, so you can't give up that easily, heh.
