>anon, i think you have too much faith in my abilities
Abilities can change. I've made hundreds of edits at this point, so it's not a fair comparison of skills. The first step is just believing you can.
In my case that was the result of being homeless for a couple years where I basically became schizophrenic and started to believe I had to do everything myself. Thus I believed I could do anything any other human could with the same effort and focus (which is mostly true). Logically that meant I could make smegma edits too.
Now I don't think this is a necessary step, and I wouldn't personally recommend it. One just needs to find the mental state of being inquisitive and explorative. Just try different things to see how they turn out. You can see with the few smegma edits I've made I changed the style a few times, or even with the captions. It's all just pixels, and you don't have to share it. Perhaps you even shouldn't, again, I made several edits (some smegma) just for myself at first. I spent too long wasting time by fixating on how to make things for other people. Even now, I've been stumped with greentexts I think for that very reason - I've been thinking what other people want when I need to be focusing my own imagination/emotions to actually write with any ease.

And when I say focusing on what they focused on, it's what I've been trying to say about seeing the parts of an image rather than the whole thing. Dama Shipwreck doesn't think "How do I make a Dama Shipwreck image?" He thinks of building the image in the way he likes. You can't emulate the end result or fake the steps, you have to do the same process and understanding what/why obviously helps. It's perhaps the problem with the AI fans. "Art", to them, means an image, "art" doesn't mean skill - the process to build and artwork. It may go deeper though, as even when I've used AI I'm thinking about the processes involved and how it works (because I am programmer brained).
