i ran out of space, but i meant to add, i guess by my own logic, ai competing for my prospective audience with a much lower barrier for entry- or potentially even replicating my art style outright- would result in my getting less appreciation for my art. but, to me, art is something i feel i can make for the sake of leaving a legacy, as in it's something i could truly do for the sake of itself. so any conceivable praise and appreciation for it would strictly be secondary. of course, maybe the dynamic could change if i were say fulfilling someone's request, in which case it not being my own legacy left primarily for myself would make me think about ai devaluing my art more. but all of this is just a thought exercise for me, anyway, since i don't have the ambition to learn how to draw, so i never would
>I feel like caption stuff can be the gamechanger for me, because it's inherently trashy and looked down upon even by other gooners, yet satisfying because you are your own target audience
in a way it's true, but as i said before, i really do hope for appreciation for my captions, haha. even though most of it is left field, gratuitous stuff, and my passion is a specific subject matter that is conventionally gross. to me, finding the words to say something in a novel and immersive way across several paragraphs (again, at least with the way i do captions) is a super conscious effort, and were i just gooning alone, i wouldn't need all that; i'd only think of the subject matter wordlessly, seeing it in my mind. to me, writing is a mere vehicle to reach others, so as such i wish it'd be appreciated by others, haha. again, with drawing, i don't see it this way; i feel if i could draw, provided i could make something i'd be proud of, i feel it'd stand on its own. for me at least, writing is inherently a compromised form of creative expression, where the purity of my creativity is translated into a digestible format, losing something in the process
